The Automotive Bailouts: The Other Side of the Story

I have been sitting here, trying to keep out of this. But I have sat and looked at the Republican and NeoConservative Spin on this Story and I’m sick of it. 😡

So, I am giving you, the other side of the story, from the horses mouth; without commentary from me.

I did not ask that you agree, I simply ask that you listen and hear this man out. Now I am almost sure, that the Blogs, that I have linked to, will remove my trackback, like the Neo-Con Fascists that they are. I mean, it is all about controlling the message with those guys.  🙄

Bill O'Reilly sparks outrage over atheistic sign

Video: (via Breit Bart)

Story via KING-TV

(You will have to manual stop the other video below this one. Sorry, there was no setting in the code to tell it not to auto play…)

Personally, If I were the Governor of Washington State, I would have put Bill O’Reilly’s home telephone number in the press release and encouraged people to call him, at all hours of the night. This would end this, real quick.

From the "Ya Think?" file…..

I have to love Fox News, they do not hesitate to inform the American people. Albeit, information that the American people already know.

The Big headline?

“Obama’s So-Called Office means nothing!”

Well, no shit, Sherlock Holmes. The office is symbolic, until he is officially installed.  This is news?

The point that they were trying to make, disguised as some sort of earth shattering breaking news, is that Obama has been really looking Presidential and because of this, he is a rotten, no good, terrorist negro person.

This is from the same Network that made Sean Hannity and Bill Orally Bill O’Reilly.

Maybe I’ll get lucky and they will send Bill’s producer after me. I hope they do. I’ll introduce them to my two lawyers; Smith and Wesson.

Allan Colmes throws in the towel with Hannity & Colmes

(H/T to Don Surber via TVNEWSER)

The Radio Equalizer reports:

After a remarkable twelve year run, Alan Colmes is set to leave FOX News Channel’s top-rated Hannity & Colmes at the end of the year, according to key sources.

Though the decision was said to have been made by Colmes himself, it is not yet known what future role he will play at the network.

There have been no industry rumblings regarding the liberal host heading for another network and his radio show remains syndicated by FOX News Radio. That means he’s probably likely to remain there in some capacity.

Also unknown at this time is who will replace take Alan’s place at the Hannity & Colmes Show, if anyone.

So far, Colmes has not commented on the move at his site, but syndicated talker Lars Larson tells your Radio Equalizer that he’s asked Colmes to appear on his show to discuss the situation.

I can see why Alan would want to do this. I suppose he simply got tired of Hannity. Don Surber Agrees:

Frankly (and I know this is going to cost me readers) I find Sean Hannity on TV unbearable. He’s OK on the radio, but I get tired of the volume going up and the intelligence going down.

Maybe Colmes got tired of it too.

I must say that I agree. My Mother hates Sean Hannity with a passion. I am not too fond of him at all either. The man has zero Journalistic credentials. The man was a freakin’ nobody, before he lied his way into the business and Murdoch gave him his break. He’s a neo-con stooge and I have zero respect for him. Like Don said, I guess Colmes got tired of it.

I wish Allan the best.

Update: Video (Thanks to Breit Bart)

The “Hoo Hoo’s!” and Aww’s were too funny. Scripted, but funny. For once, Sean Hannity showed some grace and honor. I’ll give him a pass, this time. 😉

Mrs. "Terrorist Fist Jab" E.D. Hill gets the ol' Heave Ho!

I must confess, I will not shed a tear over this, at all. Sorry, She knew what she was saying and truth is, she most likely wrote it.

Via TVNewser:

TVNewser has learned veteran Fox News Channel anchor E.D. Hill will not be renewed when her current contract expires. Hill, who has been with Fox News for more than 10 years, will continue with the network for the next few months until her current deal expires.

SVP of Programming Bill Shine tells TVNewser that he “chose not to renew E.D.’s latest contract” but noted that “Hill has been a valued contributor to the success of FNC over the years, and we wish her all the best.”

Hill has been without a regular Fox News program since June 16, when America’s Pulse was replaced by two hours of Live Desk. Ten days earlier Hill used the term terrorist fist jab when promoting an upcoming body language segment that was going to look into the primary night fist bump shared by Barack and Michelle Obama.

For most of her nearly 11 years at FNC Hill anchored Fox & Friends. In 2006 she moved to a late morning program then to the afternoons where, in the months leading up to the election, she’d been filling in on America’s Election HQ.

I think this was possibly the smartest move Fox News has ever made. E.D. Hill’s career is most likely over, unless she moves to a small market somewhere. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe in freedom of speech, but there comes a responsibility with that freedom. I mean, it is one thing to make a snark filled comment on a blog, like this one here. But get on a National Network and parrot the mindless ramblings of the far, far, right on National Television, that is just totally inexcusable.

There are some who would say that she was tossed “Under the Bus”, as they put it. Perhaps she was; after all, she is not Bill O’Reilly nor Sean Hannity. She was just your typical teleprompter reading news anchor woman. Good looking, able to read, but short on intelligence and supposedly on opinion. She was not paid to express opinion. However, she choose to express her inner Redneck and she quickly became a liability for Fox News.

I say good on Fox News for making this decision. Hopefully, they will continue this sort of a policy and will hopefully apply it to some of the more “Higher Up” folk around that Network.

Interesting:Democratic Party Convention flag story Bogus

Remember that Story that I reported on, about Democrats dumping flags? Turns out, it was bogus.

Via the Huffington Post:

UPDATE: DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney issues a statement: “American flags were proudly waved by the 75,000 people who joined Barack Obama at the Democratic Convention. John McCain should applaud that, but instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism. On the same day he agrees to join Barack Obama at Ground Zero on September 11, John McCain attacks the patriotism of Obama supporters who so proudly waved the American flag at our historic event in Denver just days ago.”

UPDATE II: Another statement from the Democratic National Convention Committee: “Stories circulating about flags at the Democratic National Convention are false. We distributed more than 125,000 American made flags at the Convention – the flags removed from Invesco field were intended for other events and taken without permission. It’s disappointing that someone would take American flags without authorization and then falsely describe how they were being used. We have the utmost respect for the American flag, and it’s sad to see them being used for a cheap political stunt.”

I apologize for even Blogging about this, at all. If, in fact, John McCain’s campaign was responsible for this bogus story getting out, it shows the level of desperation by the campaign to discredit the Democrats in the election.

What levels will Neo-Conservatives stoop to, to win an election!

There’s more, TPM is also reporting:

According to a article just out from Huffington Post, the story about flags from the Democratic National Convention being thrown away is simply false. The story was jumped on and apparently authored by the McCain campaign. But the real tell is down in the Huffpo piece where it traces the story to none other than Fox News’ Carl Cameron.

Longtime readers of TPM will remember that back in October 2004 this site caught Cameron publishing a series of fabricated quotes attributed to John Kerry on the front page of the Fox News website.

After I placed a series of calls to Fox News inquiring about the Kerry story, the story was eventually pulled, and Fox was forced to issue an apology and retract the fabricated story. Fox spokesman Paul Schur told TPM: “Carl [Cameron] made a stupid mistake which he regrets. And he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. It was a poor attempt at humor.”

Why anybody would believe anything this joker says is difficult to fathom. But he’s good enough for McCain.

I should have known Faux Noise would have been in on this whole thing. Not surprising at all. 🙄
