Pat Caddell is an objective and honest man. Of course he has his political perspective, but he's honest about what he sees in both parties. I've had the pleasure of meeting him and speaking with him on a few occasions and found him to be very interesting and thoughtful. He is very concerned with the future of the country for his grandchildren and sees little change coming from either party - which he has called "the corrupt party and the stupid party." I wish he had a bigger platform than he does.
I have never really liked Caddells politics but he is honest.
I love to watch Caddell when he gets on with Megyn Kelly, Hannity and Greta Susteren because he just tells things as they are. He was one of the first people I heard talking about how the media has slanted their polls the past three weeks or so.
When he was on talking about the Libyan thing he was on the side of all the Fox people right from the start. We still hear nothing about what happened there from any of the alphabet TV people except from Jake Tapper. Fox was saying from the start what the real story was. Obama swore that the FBI would find out what happened in a short while but not one FBI man has set foot in Libya yet.
The President and his lame stream media are holding the story back trying to figure out how to lie his way out of his early lies about the video, which is a story that is told differently from one place to another from the administration people. Not one of the media people has mentioned the way that our ambassador to the UN lied on five different talk shows the Sunday after it happened. She had a time lying on Fox News Sunday but stayed with her lie clear through it. I wonder how many people who know the truth now will ever believe anything she says again.

pat caddell, like dick morris, are more conservative than their party affiliations indicate. they are both also quite knowledgeable and honest with their opinions. in fact i think that bob beckle is more conservative than he lets on as well.

Pat Caddell is a traditional Democrat. He has openly stated that he did not leave the party but the party left him. When you stand for beliefs first and not party, that can happen.
Yup. This is especially true with over the air TV stations. My area had stations that broadcast all 3 major networks for decades, and Fox and PBS were added later. The digital conversion allowed at least 5 other networks, some only available on cable earlier, to be broadcast.
But all of the stations, which were once either locally or regionally owned, were bought up by larger broadcast companies, and some of them ran into deep financial trouble, even though the local ad market was doing fine.
Now, the oldest of the local stations, the one that first broadcast television to my end of the state, is now just a shell. It has been a CBS affiliate since the first, from 1954, but even though it is still being broadcast as a separate entity, a former competitor does the broadcasting.
When once it had the largest news department in the region, now it is down to only two people, and they use the same material that their former competitor writes. So we are getting the same take and editorial point of view on both stations. I think, that in time, both those lonely guys will be gone. Only the background screen will be different when the news comes on.
Fox, as an independent entity, has done the same. Fox never had a local news staff. All their news came from the 3rd competitor in the market.
This is not the way news should be reported. To get truly objective reporting requires many views on an event, and I fear this type of strange consolidation will only get worse, both on over the air and on cable and satellite TV.
The lack of differing viewpoints really affects me, as I grew disgusted with the price and choices of cable years ago and disconnected my cable service. Satellite TV appears to be just the same as cable to me, so I only receive over the air broadcasts now.
When you said Fox I wondered what you were talking about since I have FoxNews on all day every day and they told the story just as the White House is admitting from the start. Of course, most people don't really understand that Fox News is not the same as your local Fox stations, at all. Maybe you ought to watch more Fox News and less local news. Not at night since that is when the heavy right leaners are on. Try it some time if you can get Fox News.
Feels like a dictatorship has taken over the media.. pushing for Obama and ripping Romney. When a communist is in office and in control the media is also.. hummmm..
Yeahhhhhhhhhh. It is much like that these days but those people will be forced to do a better job, especially if their hero doesn't win.

You sound like you watch Fox a lot and when you throw Bob Beckle in you give yourself away. I feel sorry four him on the Five because I think he is hired to be the token right arguer on that show. However, you watch him on Hannity and he is the same.
