Condolences to Greg Gutfeld

I admit it, I sometimes like to watch Red Eye on Fox News. It’s a light-hearted break from the seriousness of rest of the news day. So, hearing that Greg lost his Mother is rather heartbreaking to hear. It is something that I will have to deal with myself one day. 🙁

My Thoughts and Prayers are with Greg and the rest of the Gutfeld Family.

Noted crony capitalist defender John Stossel sells out to the GMO cronies

For the record, I never did like John Stossel’s brand of libertarianism. I don’t believe for a second that Stossel is the real deal at all. I believe his so-called “libertarianism” is all for show and to make a quick buck at the expense of the real believers.

So, this here from Stossel is no big shock to me at all:

It’s easy to scare people about what’s in their food, but the danger is almost never real. And the fear itself kills. Take the panic over genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.

Ninety percent of all corn grown in America is genetically modified now. The new genes may make corn grow faster, or they may make it less appetizing to bugs so farmers can use fewer pesticides.

This upsets some people. GMOs are “unnatural,” they say. A scene from the movie “Seeds of Death” warns that eating GMOs “causes holes in the GI tract” and “causes multiple organ system failure.”

via STOSSEL: Modified crops mean cheaper, healthier food.

The rest of it is basically your typical brainwashing from the corporate media and it should be ignored. I will admit to you that the GMO thing is really not my field of expertise at all; as I blog about politics and not food or farming. However, I find it very disturbing and quite anti-American that John Stossel, of all people; would toss Americans who have genuine concerns about GMO foods, under the bus like that. It just seems so anti-American to do something like that.

Of course, we all know that Fox News Channel and Fox Business Channel only are open to patriotic Americans who share their warped Zionist worldview. Anyone that strays out from under that, like Pat Buchanan, does not stay long at that network.  Furthermore, we all know that Fox News Channel is not above being downright mean to those who disagree with their position on the Iraq War; the eight years that Fox News Channel treated liberals who dared to go on that network were proof of that; so this defending of the GMO’s by a Fox News personality should not be a huge shock.

 

What some people do for money

This one just makes me shake my head….

The Story:

Shepard Smith, the endlessly endearing (and easily angered) Fox News anchor, has likened the right-wing channel to a “family,” with president Roger Ailes as its domineering father. Which makes it only slightly awkward that in early 2012, the 49-year-old anchor started courting an attractive young production assistant who worked under him on Fox Report With Shepard Smith. Now they are a couple.

Gawker has learned that Smith is dating a 26-year-old Penn State grad and Fox Business producer named Giovanni “Gio” Graziano. According to multiple sources with knowledge of their relationship, the couple met sometime after Graziano started working at Fox Report in October 2011 as a production assistant. He’s the man with whom Smith frequents Bathtub Gin.

“Yes, that’s Shepard’s boyfriend,” Katya Minskova, the Bathtub Gin waitress Smith berated in March, confirmed to Gawker when shown a photo of Graziano. Another source who had seen them together at the Chelsea speakeasy confirmed Graziano’s identity as well. Both sources say they saw Graziano and Smith together at the bar on multiple occasions, and that they appeared to be romantically involved.

While Smith and Graziano’s boss Roger Ailes, a notorious homophobe, was apparently kept in the dark about the relationship—“higher ups had no idea,” a source close to Graziano said—the pair doesn’t appear to have gone to great lengths to keep the workplace romance from their co-workers.

Snort Worthy: MSNBC President Wants ‘Investigation’ Into Fox News’ ‘Impossible’ Ratings

Um, Phil? It’s because you and your network suck. Progressivism is just not popular anymore. You know that President that you and your network went into the tank for? He failed, badly. So, I would suppose that the viewers or as Bill O’Reilly calls them — the folks — stopped trusting your silly network.

So, man up and admit your defeat.

The Story:

Phil Griffin, president of MSNBC, says there’s something fishy about Tuesday’s ratings for the Fox News Channel, which were up significantly from a day earlier when Fox News debuted its new schedule. And he wants an investigation.

“Monday we had a really good day in the key demographic. On the night that Fox News debuted their three shows, we either tied or beat them in those hours,” Griffin said at a briefing, according to TVNewser.

“Tuesday — you guys should be doing some investigations; I have never seen it in all my years of cable — same overnight, same everything. And they doubled their ratings in a day? It is impossible.” Griffin continued, “I have never seen it. They did election-night numbers in the demo Tuesday.”

Sean Hannity loses even Pat Buchanan

Man, when you lose Pat Buchanan, you know you are in trouble.

Video: (H/T Crooks and Liars)

I never was much of a Sean Hannity fan; he’s like the annoying rich kid at a party. He just annoys me. Compared to Hannity, Bill O’Reilly is so much saner and that is not saying much, let me tell you.

This here could very well be why Hannity’s show is going away and Megan Kelly is moving to that time slot.

Either way, it is pretty bad, when a staunch Conservative like Buchanan tells someone like Hannity that he is basically full of crap.

I just watched the clip and it is obvious to me that Sean Hannity is simply interested in slamming President Obama, no matter what he does. That is not legitimate political commentary, that is nothing more than ad-hominem attacks. For that alone, Sean Hannity should lose his show.

Megyn Kelly not a partisan?!?! Please.

I was reading over at hotair.com, and I saw this:

Hannity’s been at 9 p.m. for, what, 17 years? Now that I read it again, Drudge’s post doesn’t say explicitly that he’s leaving the time slot — but it sure does imply it, and it’d be odd, frankly, to pair a more-or-less straight news reporter like Kelly with a strongly partisan commentator like him. Presumably he’s moving to 10 p.m. to do battle with Scary Larry O’Donnell. Where does that leave Greta? Well, last month, after people started whispering that she’d been chatting with CNN, she wrote a blog post stressing that she’s not going anywhere and that Fox had contractually guaranteed her a show in primetime. Primetime includes 7 p.m. (sort of, I think), and her husband told the NYT back in May that she’d be open to a show at an earlier hour. So that’s where Greta likely ends up, which means one less hour of Shep Smith per day unless there are still further changes to come that we don’t know about. Hard to believe they’d move “The Five” given how well it’s doing ratings-wise, and “Special Report” is their most respected pure news program. Maybe, with Kelly’s daytime show being eliminated, they’ll give Shep a block from 2-4 p.m. and figure out something new to do with the 1-2 p.m. hour? Gretchen Carlson’s leaving “Fox & Friends” to host her own show in the afternoon. I guess that’s where she’ll go

More or less a news commentator? Has Allahpundit ever seen Megan Kelly prattle on about Abortion?

Check this video clip:

If that isn’t a partisan attack job, I do not know what the hell is.  Megyn Kelly is about as partisan and biased as the rest of the Republican Statist mouthpieces over at Fox News Channel. AllahPundit needs to write the truth and not this alternate world horse hockey that the rest of his fellow bloggers are known for over there.

I’m just saying.
