Ailes should have set up the meeting and then cancelled at the last minute because of “a matter of great importance to discuss with Glen Beck” - and made damn sure that the story got out far and wide. Make a monkey out of this Axelrod in front of God and everybody.

“Jane Skinner and Shep Smith are the only suspects I can think of.”

I have to turn Fox off whenever I see Skinner. She had a far left Sunday afternoon radio talk show in Chicago before getting the commentator gig on Fox. She was just awful on that too....

Beck now beating Hannity by 800,000 viewers. How much longer can they keep the mind-numbingly dull Hannity at 9pm?

Dissent will not be tolerated. They have all of the other networks, but we can’t even have one?

And that one isn’t all that conservative anyway.

I vote for Shep to go first, and his numbers say the same.

Interestingly, none other than Fox' Chris Wallace described them as "cry-babies" on or around 9/19 this year. Which is "about two weeks" ago and fits the time-frame of this meeting. That was the weekend that 0 did those 5 sittings with his acolytes in the SRM.

So I guess we can assume this meeting made some waves around FXN?

99% percent of the “news” media on their side isn’t enough.

Can you imagine if this happened in the Reagan or Bush administrations? The screams of censorship, government control, and even fascism would be deafening.

paid political programming for a party, and occasionally a couple of news stories break out in the midst of 23 hours and 45 minutes of political rantings and opinion,” said one senior administration official. “Everything about it is one-sided political opinion directed at a base. Period.”

Right..maybe the libs just don’t like being exposed- J.S.

It appears Axelnazi didn’t get his message through Ailes to Greta tonight.

She had Cong Issa on exposing more of Acorn’s crimes and now a Congressman on exposing more outrages hiding in the healthcare monstrosity Obama/Pelosi bill.

Way to go, Greta!

Next is on a “Shady deal” that Senator Reid has now cut - re: Senate Healthcare bill - Nevada and 3 other states would get an exemption from expansion in Medecaid that the Senate Bill would force into place.

Senators from other states who are not exempt from this expanded Medicaid in the Senate bill....

Then the herald loudly proclaimed, "This is what you are commanded to do, O peoples, nations and men of every language: As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace."

Daniel 3, 4-6

Pretty damned apt description...of MSNBC!

It might have been interesting if Axelrod had threatened Ailes with a FCC investigation if Ailes didn’t fire Beck. Instead he whines about fair and balanced coverage. What a wuss.

RE: White House senior adviser David Axelrod met with Fox CEO Roger Ailes two weeks ago to complain about what they consider heavy coverage of Obama critics by opinion shows on the news channel.
