He certainly has no sensitivity to women and I'm sure he doesn't care that I think so. Insensitive boor, that he is.
You can write a post like that acnd call Paul an insensitive boor? Really?

In order fro one to understand and appreciate liberty he/she must appreciate the sanctity of life. Ron Paul walks the walk, others, not so much.

I don't quite understand the ratings comment as to the segment you refer to but looking at this FOX seems to do quite well.

Cable News Ratings for Thursday, February 9, 2012 - Ratings | TVbytheNumbers
That is the second time THEY have had those horrible numbers thrown in their faces on this thread and I bet not one of them read any of them.

I take it for granted that I don't count, since I am so old, but do watch most of those shows. I will have to miss O'Reilly tonight to see the basketball game. Maybe I can catch his replay.

Did I do this one right?

Since you don't watch GBTV I will have to take it for granted that you got your information about him leaving Fox from Media Matters, or was it Kos.

I gather you don't watch Fox News on Sat. mornings. Then it seems there are 2 or 3 conservatives shouting down all at once 1 liberal.

There is nothing going on with FOX NEWS, it's FOX BIZ channel that is making changes.

Have you watched MSNBC when they have their circle jerks on with people from Media Matters dedicating segments to what was on FOX? Now that's hilarious!

FOX does give both sides a fair shot.
Admit you were wrong, it's ok...

Otherwise fox does not give both sides a fair say by a long shot. Fox uses propaganda such as when addressing people they will say "Here is liberal contributor,.." not "Here is democratic contributor,." on top of that, they have absolutely not one credible or respected contributor from the left. Whenever they do have someone from the left on, all the do is bash them, ask leading questions, side with the right winger to gang up on them etc,..pretty much everything they can do to slander the person. Or the supposed "liberal" contributor just agrees with whatever right wing issue they are trying to press.
Fox also does not have a single democratic show, every single show they have is hard right.

MSNBC on the other hand has two republican shows with morning joe and Dylan Ratigan. If you actually watch the network, outside of the primetime talking head shows, and morning joe everything is unbiased general news. MSNBC also has actual legitimate contributors like former RNC chair Michael Steele which is a huge one, McCain's former campaign manager Steve Schimdt, hell even Megan McCain
They also have on big names from the right with tea party leaders, Dick Armey, they've had all the GOP presidential candidates on, senators and other congress people, Scott Walker, SE Cupp, even Ann Coulter.
