Palin to O’Reilly: Coulda Answered “Bush Doctrine” Question With “More Context,” Katie Couric’s “What Do You Read” Question was “Gotcha” and “Annoying”
On last night’s (11/19/09) O’Reilly Factor, it was the moment we’ve all been waiting for, folks – Sarah Palin was on The Factor to tell us all about how the “gotcha,” “lamestream” media engaged in tactics and asked trip-'em-up questions (you know, like, “What do you read?”) that were “annoying” or asked her questions that “she probably could have answered” with the proper Cliff notes, uh, “a bit more context.” To hear her tell it, she would have done brilliantly if it weren't for the "badgering" questions. There was one person, however, that she absolutely, totally, (almost) completely absolved of responsibility for her dismal failure in the election and her downright moronic responses in the interviews: Sarah Palin. Stay tuned, folks . . . there's a Part II to come! With video.

Palin to O’Reilly: “I Believe That I Am” Capable of Being President of the United States . . . Reiman, Analyze the Body Language on THAT
On last night’s O’Reilly Factor/Body Language segment (11/18/09), Tonya Reiman had some interesting observations about O’Reilly’s interviews with (conservative) Sarah Palin, (MSM) Sally Quinn, and (conseeeeeeeeervative – and male) Lou Dobbs. It’s a shocker, all right: O’Reilly was most respectful to Dobbs, careful not to offend Palin, and, of course, had the most aggressive stance toward the delegate of mainstream media, Quinn. I like Tonya Reiman, I really do. She does a little too much pandering, in my view – I agree with what News Hounds’ Deborah wrote back in 2007 about Reiman’s gig on O’Reilly: “She's [Reiman] managed to amuse him or feed his insatiable ego without saying anything too damaging to the subjects or her lucrative weekly gig.” But someday, when Reiman’s not beholden to Fox News, I’d really like to know the truth about what she sees in O’Reilly’s body language.

O’Reilly Targets Massachusetts School for First Day of “War On Christmas” 2009
They can’t even wait until Thanksgiving is over. “Patriots” that they are, Fox News have leapfrogged right over our national holiday, which is still a week away, in favour of an early Christmas holiday present of faux outrage for their howling hordes. Hear ye, hear ye, all ye "Christian" Crusaders! Gird your loins and pick up your pitchforks, for duty calls: we go to do battle with the Principal and PTO of Byam Elementary School in the godless librul state of Massachusetts. The War to “Save” Christmas is on!

Lou Dobbs on O’Reilly: “100% I’m Gonna Remain in the Public Arena” . . . as a “Semi-Regular” on the Factor, For Starters
O’Reilly to Lou Dobbs: “I’d like you to come back on a semi-regular basis – would you be willing to do that?”
Lou Dobbs: “Be my honor.”
And so Lou Dobbs launches his new post-CNN career – on the only network, most likely, that would have him, the one and only home of the rightwing fringe hosts, Fox News. On Monday (11/16/09) on The O’Reilly Factor, Dobbs threw spin into the “No Spin” zone . . . CNN is moving in a new direction, blah blah blah. CNN never gave him negative feedback, except, “. . . [CNN/US President] Jon Klein and I talked about the issue of opinion itself and advocacy journalism, he wanted to take the network in a different direction . . . .” Blah blah blah. The birther thing? His only offense was “to ask the question, and my question to you is, what kind of country is it when someone in the media asks a question and that becomes a controversy?” Blah blah blah.
But hey, we haven’t seen the last of Dobbs: “. . . I can guarantee you 100% I’m gonna remain in the public arena . . . What is immutable here is I’m going to remain in the public arena.”
One more thing – Dobbs doesn’t think Barack Obama is the devil. Oh, yeah – and Dobbs might also run for the New Jersey Senate. With video.
