This explains so much of what’s going on, including the precipitous rise in “disability” payments that O’Reilly has been talking about.

FOX News Channel says there is a war on Christmas by people saying “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” yet FOX News Channel is regularly airing a “Happy Holidays’ promo in December.
December 10, 2012 at 11:59 am
^ No… they say there’s a “War on Christmas” because people are FORCED to say “Happy Holidays,” because employers and business owners are too a’scared to “offend” someone.
December 10, 2012 at 12:23 pm
FNC has been running a very nice Happy Hanukkah announcement with emphasis on its religious significance.

Other than leaving a bad taste in our mouths over tales of Benghazi, Rice is a rancid dish for many other reasons:

Laura, interesting, when I read that article, my initial reaction is that free birth control sounds like a really smart policy idea.
Kidding aside…
When we talk about Social Security solvency, instead of ratcheting up the retirement age, perhaps we need to address the creeping definition of disability. This applies to people of all ages. If someone pulls their kid out of school for fear of losing a disability check (whether they are right or not, they believe it) then something’s not right with the system. I have definitely seen SS disability abused by adults in the workplace.

How did that quote get screwed up? I watched Cavuto’s special on the lunar missions last night, and the quote is “Houston, we’ve had a problem”.
December 10, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Golly, that Breitbart comment section is a delight.
December 10, 2012 at 8:27 pm
Yeah, I have to wonder what the angle was on posting the clip. The commenters were clearly not in agreement with the sentiment.
December 10, 2012 at 8:30 pm
I would assume it’s a Joe Scarborough Is Evil post. He warned for a year that the party was headed for disaster, and they still don’t think he’s a conservative who might know what he’s talking about.
December 10, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Joe, Denial is more than just a river in Egypt, it’s where the GOP lives. They actually have told themselves THEY won the election because the GOP held the House and that America voted for THEIR agenda.
December 10, 2012 at 8:36 pm
Andy, there’s a few idiots saying that, but I don’t agree that the majority of Republicans buy that BS.
December 10, 2012 at 8:40 pm
Joe, in my world, which is Reality, when your party wins a Presidential Election and picks up seats in both chambers of Congress… in my world, that’s a mandate.
December 10, 2012 at 8:49 pm
I’m not arguing against that. I’m just saying I don’t think the average sane Republican thinks losing is winning. Maybe the freaks on that Breitbart page do..
December 10, 2012 at 9:20 pm
Losing is losing, but one battle does make a war you morons. Two short years ago Republicans picked up more seats since FDR stopped kissing Eleanor. A Democrat “thumping”. Hell, I heard the same crap when Pelosi took over Congress in 2006. By 2016 people will have had their fill of Obama… as long as he doesn’t start sticking cigars into interns and we try to impeach him.

Last weeks numbers have a few interesting tidbits. Greta and Hannity continue to show some weakness in the demo and it has now spread to the 35-64 numbers. LOD and RM won 3 of 5 days in the demo and LOD also won the 35-64 numbers on 4 of 5 days. On Friday Greta just beat LOD in the demo but lost the 35-64 which is very odd. Maddow also won the Tuesday 35-64 number.
FNC had very strong Wednesday numbers throughout which saved the week for their PT hosts and i assume there was a news event that their viewers were tuning in to see discussed; but I can’t think of what that news story was.
December 10, 2012 at 9:40 pm

December 10, 2012 at 9:49 pm
Greta beating LOD in the demo on Friday is not a thing. He’s not on that night..they use guest hosts. Last Friday was Alex Wagner.

I’ve had enough of Ed Schultz’s shtick.
December 10, 2012 at 10:00 pm
Yep. I sit through it while I wait for Rachel and Lawrence, but I don’t pay much attention. He does that ‘outrage’ schtick that is more of a conservative specialty. It’s just as annoying when I agree with it..
December 10, 2012 at 10:11 pm
– outrage –
I think that’s what puts people off. “Conservative media” used to be about changing peoples’ minds, now it’s about affirming what they already think. People who already agree with you don’t mind hearing the other guy shouted down. If that’s all the audience you care about, that’s fine.
December 10, 2012 at 10:16 pm
Ed is just like Hannity. He’s so angry all the time, and he’s only interested in listening to people who agree with him.
December 10, 2012 at 10:21 pm
Tell me again why you people watch the shows that irritate you? It sounds like the definition of insanity.
December 10, 2012 at 10:24 pm
It gives us something to talk about. “Hey, that Last Word show was great tonight. I agreed with everything and the guests were pretty.” Not very scintillating conversation..
December 10, 2012 at 10:28 pm
I swear, the only reason to watch Hannity is to see how useless and counterproductive he is on a given evening. Did he spend a minute talking about Kristof? Certainly not as much time as he spent whinging about Jamie Foxx saying something that no one really cares about.
December 10, 2012 at 10:32 pm
I swear. A black comic doing a riff on black stereotypes. Who cares?
December 10, 2012 at 10:34 pm
They are just dead set and determined that if a lefty says something ‘bad’, they’re going to beat on it the way that they imagine the rest of the press would if Rush said something. And for what? What exactly does that ever accomplish? Have ANY of these bitch-sessions ever broken through to the “mainstream media”? Ever?

I like the new NOW set; a semicircle of chairs around a coffee table; much more than the old long desk one that forced people to turn hard to left or right to talk to someone.
It also has the advantage of cutting down on gear (laptops, coffee cups, smart-phones, papers etc.) that often clutter up big desk sets.

The Ben Jacobs article establishes a false premise, then complains about it. The people at that meeting are all liberal opinion hosts, not journalists. POTUS obviously brought them in to get feedback on how he could better connect with their audience, and no doubt took some heat for not being the raging progressive they hoped him to be.
I see no reason why a private session like this needs to be made public. I also don’t see that anything interesting would be generated. “Well..look. I want to raise taxes on the rich. Uhhh, what should I do?” ‘Talk more about fairness, and say mean stuff about the right.’ “Great, thanks.” Fascinating.

Jay Carney should have his own show on MSNBC. He could be spokesman for the licensed to spread propaganda ” opinion hosts” who work out the Obama talking points in secret and spread them on TV as if they were not coordinated from dear leader.
December 11, 2012 at 10:58 am
Let’s see, Republicans introduced it during a lame duck session. Bill never went through committee or debate. Did it now because they wouldn’t have the votes when the 2013 session convened. Doesn’t sound like Democracy to me. People have every right to protest.
December 11, 2012 at 11:02 am
A liberal politician talking to liberal opinion hosts from a liberal talk station. Yes, it’s all terribly shocking.
Sounds reasonable … except you left out, IMHO, the most important note in the story:
Yet no sooner had they left the White House with their latest Obama marching orders than they blasted Fox News for being a “mouthpiece” for the GOP. … Maddow asserted the audio made clear that Fox “seriously is not like anything else in news.” “They are officially just a media arm of the Republican Party,” she added. “They are a political operation serving the needs of the Republican Party.”
You’re excusing MSNBC’s conduct saying “everybody does it” while MSNBC uses it’s airtime to claim “only FOX does it” … a day after they themselves did it.
You can’t see the hypocrisy?!?
December 11, 2012 at 11:06 am
and THERE WILL BE BLOOD. Of course the Brotherhood of Teamster is now and has always been a Muslim Brotherhood sort of thug outfit. Inciting violence is already turning into physical violent reality.

Perhaps the point is that people who visit the White House shouldn’t throw stones.

You did, it was right after the Andrea Michelle Press Conference admitting the same.
December 11, 2012 at 1:32 pm
What began as a peaceful protest in Michigan’s capital has quickly spiraled into a full-blown riot. As anger escalated among the 10,000 protestors in Lansing, police donning riot gear arrived with pepper spray, immediately arresting two activists. The demonstration comes in response to sweeping legislation passed earlier Tuesday that will make it illegal to require financial contributions to unions as a condition of employment—in either the public or the private sector. The two bills, passed by the Senate, will not become active until signed by Gov. Rick Snyder.

Honestly, I just wish MSNBC would stop b!tching about Fox. MSNBC has got a good thing going for them right now – no need to get cocky and snarky. Just do your thing and let it go. Besides, Jon Stewart does a much better job calling out the BS.
December 11, 2012 at 1:41 pm
Oh, and FNC lovers, spare me the hypocrisy talk. I mean, really.
December 11, 2012 at 1:49 pm
NEVER! MSNBC built their brand on the foundation of calling out “BILLO-THE -CLOWN”. Their faithful enjoy the Faux News belittling and would never stand for its absence. Just listen to the anti-FNC chatter around here. Joe’s morning starts at 6:00 AM with I’VE GOT YOU! BABE blasting from his clock radio. Each and every day.
December 11, 2012 at 2:01 pm
^ Oh please, you clearly don’t watch that much MSNBC. I don’t need to watch MSBNC to be p!ssed about the stupid stuff on FNC. Jon Stewart picked that fight a long time ago – and people LOVE IT!!!
December 11, 2012 at 2:03 pm
You talking about Jon Stewart’s bit on gun control? I loved that.
Believe it or not, I don’t have a problem with people talking gun control (mostly because I know it won’t amount to anything). I have a problem when people blame these incidents on conservatism, and that’s pretty much it. Also, I’m able to disagree on gun control without denigrating, generating memes, or questioning the personal grooming of the people who promote it, for the most part.
December 11, 2012 at 2:11 pm
^ Oh yeah, it was great. His segments called BS Mountain are hilarious too.
I always find the gun control debate exhausting. I’m all for more gun control but as you said, right now it isn’t going to amount to anything. Democrats have surrendered that fight for the time being. I would rather b!tch about something where we have a chance at moving the needle.
December 11, 2012 at 2:15 pm
I think that a giant “IRONY” light (or an on-screen graphic) needs to flash every time the word “hypocrisy” exudes from any of Fox’s resident “experts”.
December 11, 2012 at 2:22 pm
Rachel’s comment about FNC being a media arm of the GOP was related to FNC personalities having skin in the game, then pronouncing Romney a landslide victor. That’s not opinion; that’s Republican operatives spinning/campaigning for their guy. You’re supposed to get that stuff from actual proclaimed campagn operatives, not paid employees of the network.
In related news, FNC is paying Mike Huckabee to run for President. Geraldo interveiwed him about the fiscal cliff last weekend, wherein he pretended to give POTUS “advice”. This “advice” was a GOP-talking-point campaign speech. There wasn’t a shred of honest analysis in it, and Huckabee should have paid them for the time.
December 11, 2012 at 2:29 pm
It’s a losing fight. If you’re wrangling over subtleties,you’re losing. Both networks have chosen sides, it’s just a matter of degree.
December 11, 2012 at 2:35 pm
I don’t think the difference between opinion and selling something is subtle. FNC proclaims itself a fair news channel, yet large segments of it are devoted to telling their audience a reality they want them to accept, as opposed to simply reporting and commenting on things as they are.
December 11, 2012 at 2:39 pm
Which is fine for you to say. It makes Rachel et al look foolish, since straight news is, for them, an afterthought,
December 11, 2012 at 3:01 pm
No matter how many times Joe does his FOX bad MSNBC good routine it remains the old self-serving routine.
December 11, 2012 at 3:03 pm

December 11, 2012 at 3:39 pm
I particularly enjoyed this segment about how FNC personalities being paid to shill for the GOP are also being paid by private donors to…good luck trying to figure out what the fundraising is for.
My favorite is Mike Huckabee requesting $2500 to “help me repeal Obamacare by staying on TV”. Unless he actually is paying Fox for his timeslot, I fail to see how lining Huckster’s pockets helps him stay on TV. Or how this repeals Obamacare.

Yup… it’s a good thing folks like Sharpton and Schultz aren’t paid by those outside MSNBC. Yup… good thing, otherwise that talking point would sound really stupid, and like the person saying it only knows how to copy/paste Media Matters talking points, and forgot how to think for himself.
Good thing.
December 11, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Fundraising to put money into a cause is quite different from fundraising for yourself. If you think “help me stay on TV to repeal Obamacare” is a cause, you’re nuts.

December 11, 2012 at 5:54 pm
RE: Violent protests.
I saw the video on The Blaze and I’m suspicious of it. The camera was rolling the whole time yet there’s no video of how the confrontations started. The fight was already in progress when that was shown. And the rest was just argument — and that was also already loud and heated when the video was rolling.
December 11, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Not really. Just their opinion of the news. Put a dollar in the Joe Cup
December 11, 2012 at 5:56 pm

December 11, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Give MSNBC a few hours and they’ll use the Portland shooting as a reason to bark about gun control.
Give FOX a few hours and they’ll claim the Portland shooting is part of the “War on Christmas”.
December 11, 2012 at 6:00 pm
MSNBC sticking with breaking news at 8pm.
December 11, 2012 at 6:02 pm
“I saw the early footage. FNC guy called the union guy “scab bait” and all hell broke lose.”
Incredible professionalism from a news organization *sarcasm*
December 11, 2012 at 6:03 pm
Crowder later posted photos on his Twitter account showing a chipped tooth and “minor cut on forehead.” He told the website TheBlaze.com that the scuffle started when protesters tried to tear down a tent set up by conservative organization Americans for Prosperity.
“They were trying to tear down the tent and people were trying to pull them off. … And as they did that, a few people tripped,” he told the website. “This guy tripped over a tent peg and then got up and hit me.”
The Lansing Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but a spokesperson said police would have further information on the incident some time Tuesday night.
Reportedly work at home blogger, Andy LePew, is most suspicious of this account.

December 11, 2012 at 6:17 pm
An Oregon mall shooting is being covered by the cable news networks.
FNC oddly is only covering it with Shepard Smith during The O’Reilly Factor commercial breaks while CNN and MSNBC are giving it full coverage.
Is there some rule in Bill contract they are not allowed to pre-empt his show unless it’s a major news story or they just don’t believe the story is worthy of live coverage?
December 11, 2012 at 6:17 pm
There’s a mass shooting in a mall, and we’re still talking about Steven Crowder?
December 11, 2012 at 6:19 pm
At 8:19pm, MSNBC still on air with Breaking News.
December 11, 2012 at 6:22 pm
“There’s a mass shooting in a mall, and we’re still talking about Steven Crowder?”
They have to be “outraged” over something today.
Personally, where I come from, if you go out of your way to stir up violence, that’s generally what you get. I don’t feel any sympathy for him.
As for the Oregon shooting, can you imagine having a psychopath open fire on you while you’re Christmas shopping?
December 11, 2012 at 6:23 pm
We shouldn’t even be covering these mass shootings on national TV.. Voyeuristic encouragement of imitators. Fascination of people with these things is ghoulish. Would diminish if left to local news.
December 11, 2012 at 6:24 pm
FNC has regular programming in a smaller window and a Breaking News lower third saying North Korea has fired a long-range rocket and another L3rd for the mall shooting.
I wonder how many people are switching to CNN and MSNBC for live coverage while FNC says on tape?
December 11, 2012 at 6:26 pm

December 11, 2012 at 6:26 pm
MSNBC covering the Portland shooting with Thomas Roberts anchoring. CNN covering the shooting with Anderson Cooper anchoring. FOX News covering the “secular progressive” War on Christmas
December 11, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Betcha Hannity spends the entire hour barking about the Steven Crowder “Assault” (which we still don’t know how it started because the video was edited).
I bet Hannity doesn’t ask if he thinks it’s proper decorum for a FOX News “reporter” to get in peoples’ faces in a confrontational manner when asked to back off.
December 11, 2012 at 6:50 pm
More of the same on FNC. Only doing live updates during the commercial breaks.

“I went out to prove the left for who they are which is union thugs”
There you have it folks. He went there trying to get the reaction. In my world, people who go out of their way to stir up a violent reaction usually get it.
Followed up by him challenging the dude to a fight.
December 11, 2012 at 7:15 pm
Thugs are easy to provoke I guess. But you don’t get to throw a punch in our country. Certainly not on TV. Watch this thug get what’s coming to him. They will identify him and he will be made sorry for his act of violence.

Crowder is a tool. If he went there looking for a fight, he got the one deserved. I wish the union guy hadn’t taken the bait, though. Now that little-known, arrogant prck will be a Fox News martyr. Yippee.

So he said he didn’t try to provoke a fight, but also says he went there to expose them for the “thugs” they are… Crowder’s a punk.

CNN and FNC covered the news conference on the mall shooting while MSNBC ignored it and is doing their regular politics show.
Steven Crowder is not a reporter he’s a comedian.
When he’s been on FNC as a guest it’s been mostly lame comedy in his comments.
I’m not saying anyone should be attacked though
you are a regular guest FOX News and have anti union agenda,
what did he expect from the pro union people at the protest rally?
Why even bother to go there?
It was a bad thing for the union guy to do that, plus FNC is going cover this on every show as the evil union thug attacking a republican.

I take back any good thing I ever said about you, Joe.

Just hang out with your piece of crap buddy, Andy. I’m gone.

Oh golly, LK, don’t be mad. I’ve seen Crowder many times on Red Eye. He’s an arrogant jerk, and he went looking for a fight. If you’re gonna try to emulate Breitbart, it helps to bring a little of his glee and charm with you. Crowder is devoid of either.

Steven Crowder always reminds me of a Nickelodeon character past his prime.

You would think with the Internet and all, FNC would cover the shooting live and stream the Factor online and have a graphic underneath telling viewers who’d rather watch the Factor to go online.

Bill is not going to let FNC pre-empt his show.
That’s why FNC did their breaking news coverage during the commercials breaks.
CNN is live at 11pm. Ashleigh Banfield is subbing for Erin who is in the Middle East.
CNNi has pre-empted the Situation Room rebroadcast for live coverage of North Korea.
FNC and MSNBC are regular programming.
It appears MSNBC taped the Ed Show which got pre-empted by breaking news in the 8pm hour.

How dare Crowder show up there? Certainly cause for violence. Just like Marrow showing up at CPAC. Or, any lefty/media member showing up at a tea party rally. Tonight, Joe and andy have shown they’re nothing but hypocritical, hyper partisan hacks.

Yes, LS, tell me how you and Kelly were all super supportive of me until I dared go after that little punk. An idiot punched an idiot. I’ll live.

How about posting the full un edited video?
Steven Crowder’s lame jokes during his interview on Hannity does not help him either. He sounds foolish.

And it’s yet another story where FOX was totally uninterested in the other side of the story.

The best part about FOX News Channel… they’ve been airing an ad for a DVD about some patriot fighting against the “War on Christmas”. It’s an absolute comedy.

That DVD is hilarious. Pander much?

In the movie ad Bill appears in the movie doing a “War on Christmas” segment.
