Thank God for the fact that Obama and his fellow Democrats have no problem keeping the door wide open for the Republicans. Self-destruction is easy when your a Democrat. In a year that by all indicators it should be a walk in the park for the Democrats they seem to be making it much more difficult for themselves. It is indeed fun to watch!

Four months ago Obama was the one given much less scrutiny than Clinton. Ah, the media is quite fickle.

That is because Obama and his campaign give them so much more material to work with, not to mention good old Jesse. Can't wait to see how/if the late night folks cover this one. You could not ask for better material. Thank you Jesse!

Good one, libs hate fox but dont understand that they are in the 6 of all networks and has 5 No. 1 shows.

CNN and MSNBC are way in the 20-30's and liberals love them.

Talk about a free pass, come on, Obama has had a free pass for months, now the ratings are going down because people are sick of listening to the Obama crap when there is so much bad news and they are not covering any of it.

Bill O has asked Obama to come on his show and he is afraid that a much smarter man will tear him apart.

He wont debate McCain, won't go on any shows, why is he hiding?

They average the most viewers at 21 hours of the 24 hours a day among the nations news stations. The hours that they dont lead, 2AM-3AM, 3AM-4AM, and 11AM-12PM.

I think Fox News has a great thing going despite what people say. It is a successful station that has a slight Republican slant, but is still very in tune with moderates.

Now if only Lou Dobbs and Morning Joe (my favorites) would come over to Fox News, the others would all be out of business.

A) Even his scripted is becoming like fire. ENGLISH/SPANISH crap.
B) Then he hand picks the people in all his photo ops, get me some more whiteys, no muslims, more hispanic etc.
C) Bill O would eat this man alive. We will have for once a scholar asking the real questions instead of some hand picked loser asking pre set up questions.

Phil Gramm also said that America is one of the few countries where poor people are fatter than wealthy people. I'm paraphrasing, but he made his point. Mmmm, Big Macs.

Not a surprise that we aren't hearing a peep from the corporate media on these things.
