Greg Jarrett Talks “Eric Holder’s Hidden Agenda” – Julie Banderas Talks Traffic

Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to allow the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, alleged mastermind of 9-11, in a NY Federal Court, is a contentious one. There are strong opinions on either side of the issue. But if one were watching the Saturday Fox News (and it’s not officially “opinion,” right?) one would have heard information relating to, with the exception of one “fair and balanced” discussion, just one side only. Last Saturday afternoon (November 14th) I had the TV on in the background as I was putting the finishing touches on the Julia Child Beef Bourguignon (and I must say that it turned out quite well). There was a substantial amount of KSM coverage from Gregg Jarrett and Julie Banderas who couldn’t hide their “agita” over the situation. In the time slot from roughly 4:30 to almost 6PM, the supposed “fair and balanced” news was – not so much.

Hannah Giles Caught Lying On The Air About Anti-ACORN Videos And Fox News And Hannity Failed To Notice

What a coincidence that just as ACORN sued the federal government to restore its funding, James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles have come up with a new round of anti-ACORN sting videos. Not surprisingly, Sean Hannity and Fox News showcased one of them last night (11/16/09) and promised more “devastating” videos to come later in the week. So far, the latest “devastation” is underwhelming. Last night’s video consisted of two brief clips of an employee from ACORN’s Los Angeles office refusing to help O’Keefe and Giles with their “prostitution ring.” As Hannity, O’Keefe and Giles crowed that this was the only employee who had failed to help them, Hannity overlooked the fact that a) other ACORN employees had failed to help them and b) Giles had claimed on a previous show with Hannity that “not one” ACORN office had refused to help them. Hannity also neglected to follow up on Giles’ dubious statement, made on Hannity two months ago, that she had been “working on” verifying whether or not an ACORN employee in San Bernardino had been telling the truth when she boasted in their film about having killed her husband. In fact, a police report has supported the employee’s claim that she had pulled the legs of the scammers because she knew they were fakes. With video.
