Greta Van Susteren aired a biography of Sarah Palin tonight. I saw only half of it, but the half that I saw was very good. Here is the link to the earlier thread. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2076370/posts I believe it will reair tomorrow night at 8:00 pm ET, 5:00 PT. There is an interesting dynamic here. Her husband is John Coale, who was very prominent in Hillary Clinton's campaign. He is now backing McCain. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/prominent-clint.html

FOX News' Greata Van Susteren will profile GOP VP candidate Sara Palin tonight in a one hour documentary. Here are some of the details: Sarah Palin and her family have captivated voters since the Alaska governor was tapped to be John McCain’s running mate in a surprise decision a week ago. Republicans have touted her corruption-fighting record, her small-town values and the energy many say she brings to the GOP ticket. Democrats have assailed her experience level and her position on abortion, while others have focused intently on her teenage daughter’s pregnancy. But Palin has only been in the national...

“Gov. Sarah Palin: An American Woman”; hosted by Greta Van Susteren, premieres Saturday at 8 p.m. EDT on the FOX News Channel, with an encore at 8 p.m. Sunday.

Saturday Greta will be doing a documentary on Sarah Palin. From what I've seen from Greta in the past few days.. this will NOT be a hit piece. It will be a look into her life at home. Tonight Greta went after Oprah for not allowing Governor Palin on her show. She ran a poll in which 97 percent of the participants said Oprah was not being honest! LOL! Greta Goes After Oprah and Previews Palin Documentary- VIDEO

When BOR said that Sarah Palin was just like regular Americans and reminded Sally , Sally Quinn said [paraphrased]: She visited the common people and had a cheesburger on the NJ Turnpike earlier in the day, she's not elitist!

<p>MEGYN KELLY, CO-HOST: Well, Us Weekly, the magazine, is under some serious fire today for its new cover. The headline grabber "Babies, Lies and Scandal" is what's causing all the stir. The story, not only focusing on Sarah Palin, but also on the governor's 17-year-old pregnant daughter. It got a lot of attention. So did it cross a line?</p>

The troop surge in Iraq has been more successful than anyone could have imagined, Barack Obama conceded Thursday in his first-ever interview on FOX News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.” As recently as July, the Democratic presidential candidate declined to rate the surge a success, but said it had helped reduce violence in the country. On Thursday, Obama acknowledged the 2007 increase in U.S. troops has benefited the Iraqi people. “I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama said while refusing to retract his initial opposition to the surge. “I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest...

Excerpt: CAVUTO: She is a conservative dream thus far -- and, boy, doesn't Rush Limbaugh know it. Now he has been talking up the Alaskan governor for some time now. In Rush's words, and I quote, "Babies. Guns. Jesus. Hot damn!" I spoke to radio talk show host just moments ago. RUSH: She has turned the election upside-down, Neil. She has united a convention. She has united the Republican base. The Republican base, conservative base is more excited and happier than it has been in 14 years, since the Republican victory taking back the House of Representatives in 1993 and...

O'Reilly vs. Obama: From a conventional wisdom point of view, this should be the intellectual equivalent of Godzilla vs. a blueberry Pop Tart. The way most of us envision this interview happening is that Bill O'Reilly will pepper Obama with questions regarding his connection to William Ayers, the "Chicago Annenberg Challenge" the two of them ran together, the millions of dollars Obama and Ayers spent, Barack's pro-infanticide policies, as well as a whole host of other issues. As Barack tries to spin and filibuster his way through the interview, Bill would stop him, point out that the candidate is saying...

If you missed it yesterday...here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjQhiarIQaw Megyn Kelly of Fox News shreds the Senior Editor of US Weekly Magazine for the biased trash hit piece on Sarah Pallin.

Discussing Palin, first thing out of his mouth is that she is under investigation, The next is she has "Scant" experience. He went on to say that Obama convinced him last night that he (Obama) is OK.

Barack Obama will appear on Fox News with conservative Bill O'Reilly on Thursday, the same night John McCain gives his acceptance speech at the Republican convention here. What a coincidence! The first-time appearance by the Illinois senator on O'Reilly's show will likely be a ratings draw, although it will not go head-to-head with McCain's speech. Obama's interview will air at 8:00 p.m. EDT, while McCain's speech will air after 9:00 p.m. O'Reilly will sit down with Obama Thursday in York, Pa., where he plans to question Obama on his "political career, domestic issues and foreign policy in Iran and Iraq,"...

Bill O'Reilly will interview Barack Obama tomorrow night.

“Babies, Lies, and Scandal” runs the front-cover headline over a photo of the Barracuda. What exactly are the “lies,” asks Kelly? Simply the lies that are being told about Palin, comes the reply from this galactic tool, live on satellite hook-up from the media’s tank for Obama. And it’s all downhill from there. Not really an interview so much as a cross-examination. Awesome.

AMAZING!

From a post in the Blogs for John McCain Forum by BFJM member Amy: Several weeks ago, I posted that I suspected Bill O'Reilly was in the tank for Obama. After his show last night and his plans to stomp all over McCain's acceptance speech Thursday with an "exclusive" interview with Obama, I'm now convinced. I sent him the following e-mail and plan on copying this e-mail on every blog and political page that will accept it. I am beyond disgusted with the media in general and am deeply, deeply disappointed in people I used to admire. Fox News has...

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 2 -- At a secret meeting with Barack Obama three months ago, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes says, he tried to clear the air with the Democratic senator by saying that his organization was determined to be fair but would not be "in the tank" for Obama's campaign. During the sit-down in a Waldorf-Astoria hotel suite in Manhattan that included Rupert Murdoch, the network's owner, Obama expressed concern about the way Fox was covering him. "I just wanted to know if I'm going to get a fair shake from Fox News Channel," Ailes recalled him saying....

Hannity has led the media pack in repeatedly playing videos of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's controversial former pastor, and questioning his association with William Ayers, a member of the violent Weather Underground in the 1960s. In a recent interview with Glamour magazine, Obama said Fox News and others went after his wife, Michelle, "in a pretty systematic way. . . . If you start being subjected to rants by Sean Hannity and the like, day in and day out, that'll drive up your negatives."

Please Boycott FNC at 8PM on Thursday Night. O'Reilly, the ultimate panderer will interview Obama on the VERY NIGHT THAT MCCAIN ACCEPTS THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION. It is not only unprecedented for the opposing candidate to intrude on the acceptance speech, it is beyond belief that FNC would permit Mr. O'Reilly to pander and kiss up to Obama. BOYCOTT 8PM HOUR ON THURSDAY NIGHT.

O'Reilly closed his show tonight with the announcement that Obama (The Fraud) will be on his show this Thursday. Bill, I am now officially done with you. You have turned into a complete fool. It's just a coincidence that The Fraud agreed to go on his show on the final night of the RNC. Bring your Chapstick for this ass kiss a thon. Sorry Bill, I am out.

Wow.... Newt just offered the most eloquent example of what's at stake... He stated that Palin is the most dangerous person to the left since Clarence Thomas... In her defense, he compared the MSM's obsession of Palin's husband's DWI to Obama's cocaine use... He clearly said, if the media wants to, they can discuss the Ayers connection... They also discussed 3 NYTimes front page exposes...

I heard O'Reilly say Obama's coming on the show. I never thought he'd do it.

Will Sean Hannity call Colmes out on the carpet for the despicable comments he made this weekend about Sarah Palin's baby? I don't remember exactly what he said but it was about the rumor of the baby being Bristol Palin's and then he retracted it on Sunday with a pseudo-apology

Here is full video -- in four parts -- of Sen. John McCain's appearance yesterday on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace . . . (see video at link)

Alan Colmes has been on a downward spiral for the ages since John McCain introduced Sarah Palin as his presumptive Vice-Presidential nominee. Fellow NewsBuster Warner Todd Huston caught Colmes scraping bottom at his Liberaland web site last night, as the lefty talker and Sean Hannity piñata asked "Did Palin Take Proper Pre-Natal Care?" in connection with Palin's pregnancy and childbirth earlier this year. Trig Palin was born with Down's Syndrome on April 18. whiff of sanity appears to have prevailed, as the entry is now empty. Also not present: an apology. (Update, 3:30 p.m. -- Here's Colmes's "apology." You can...

Here is Alan Colmes in his own words, or his fans' own words, or other people's words... He's still digging. It’s About Judgment, Stupid August 31st, 2008, 1:43 PM EDT The post about Sarah Palin’s pre-natal care was taken down because of the vile comments made by a pletehora of conservatives who decided to invade the site and show us just how decent and value-driven some of them are.  Nothing like epithet-hurling if you want to make your point, or if you have strong objections to what someone says or does.   Furthermore, I in no way mean to suggest that...

Rogers Cadenhead gives the timeline associated with the birth of her newest child. She had a speech in Dallas and, even after the water broke, continued with her activities, and then boarded a plane for home. She did consult by phone with her doctor. Still, a Sacramento, Calif., obstetrician who is active in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said when a pregnant woman’s water breaks, she should go right to the hospital because of the risk of infection. That’s true even if the amniotic fluid simply leaks out, said Dr. Laurie Gregg.

Fox News Channel isn't always getting fair and balanced treatment from protesters at the Democratic National Convention this week in Denver. In at least two instances this week, Fox News -- which is often accused of conservative leanings despite its "Fair and Balanced" claim -- was under siege by DNC protesters. On Sunday, Fox reporter Griff Jenkins was doing a live shot of what he described as a 1,000-person antiwar protest march, when things went awry. In the shot, which is still getting heavy play on YouTube.com, Jenkins attempts to ask some of the marchers what they were protesting. He...

Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann put their own feud aside to agree on something tonight. Hillary honcho Howard Wolfson is a puppet, nay, a Tokyo Rose traitor, for going to work for Fox News. It was the McCain campaign's use in its ads of Hillary's anti-Obama statements that triggered the outburst. KEITH OLBERMANN: Irony upon irony, instead of the commercials designed to destroy Hillary Clinton, [the Republicans] are using Hillary Clinton in commercials designed to destroy the Democratic nominee. CHRIS MATTHEWS: Those are crocodile tears. And you wonder whether an objective person, either rational or post-rational, would be able to...

Today Mitt was interviewed by Neil Cavuto. Cavuto tried and tried to get an answer out of Mitt about the VP slot but he wouldn't budge. Here is the interview for those who'd like to watch it. Neil: Is it true John McCain has already picked his running mate and will tell the world maybe before the weekend. Who knows? Maybe this guy already knows it. And the Democrats are so ticked off they're raising the music so you don't hear it. Maybe Mitt Romney is sitting on the biggest secret of his life.. or maybe not. If he's the...

Chris Wallace said that the Dem's Convention tonight was a "Wasted Night". Ted and Michelle's speeches did NOTHING, according to Mr. Wallace, to get votes for Barack Obama. I must say I agree. I thought Michelle's speech was a big "so what?". Brit Hume did everything except run down on the stage after the speech and kiss her rear end. He was sickening.

It is very troubling that a man is seeking the office of Commander-in-Chief of the United States at a time when he will confront lethal threats against the nation from the most brutal tyrants around the globe, yet he is openly afraid to face the unfriendly news reporters at FOX News Network… He thinks he can handle Al Qaeda, Hamas, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Kim Jon Il and Russian aggression, but admittedly can’t handle Bill O’Reilly? Even Hillary Clinton was brave enough to sit and field open questions from FOX News, which she did very well by the way. I’m a conservative,...

Since we first wrote about Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate June 16, speculation on his citizenship has continued apace. Some claim Obama posted a fake birth certificate to his Web page. That charge leaped from the blogo-sphere to the mainstream media last week when Jerome Corsi, author of a book attacking Obama, repeated the claim in an Aug. 15 interview with Steve Doocy on Fox News. Corsi: Well, what would be really helpful is if Senator Obama would release primary documents like his birth certificate. The campaign has a false, fake birth certificate posted on their Web site. How is...

Fox News setting up to cover the DNC in Denver got an unexpected shower early Monday after a sprinkler system discharged its water all over their equipment. Sprinklers went off in the Fox Network convention broadcast booth as the crew was setting up its equipment. Firefighters who responded believe the news crew’s broadcast lights were too close to the sprinkler heads and set off the system. The incident was caught on tape. The booth is now back up and working after the soggy incident.

The Democratic National Convention hasn't even begun, and the protestors are out trying to Recreate 68.

They're coming in droves, masks and all. Griff Jenkins got in the middle of them and they started flipping off Griff and yelling, "F**k Fox News." Incredible.

STATE CAPITOL - Security at an anti-war rally outside the state Capitol this morning allegedly had to break up a confrontation between a Fox News reporter and Ward Churchill, a former University of Colorado professor who caused an uproar when he called victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks "little Eichmanns." Churchill, who was thrust into the national spotlight after writing a controversial essay in which he compared the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks to Nazi bureaucrat Adolf Eichmann, was hounded by the persistent reporter, who allegedly put his hands on Churchill, organizer Glenn Spagnuolo said.

God bless Griff Jenkins and keep him from harm.Leftist protesters marching in Denver on the day before the start of the Democratics' national convention attacked Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins and cursed Fox News during Jenkins' live on the scene reports.Jenkins was roughed up earlier by protesters for attempting to interview leftist agitator Ward Churchill at the Recreate '68 rally.Later, as the march proceeded through downtown Denver, Jenkins attempted to interview marchers. The protesters, many of them wearing bandanas that covered their faces, unleashed a barrage of profanity at Jenkins and Fox News.They struck up a chant of "#### Fox...

Once Brit leaves this guy should replace him on Special Report. Brett just had a great 2 hours of election coverage. Brett appears confident and not overtaken by any liberal bias. I also like Jamie Colby who was on earlier. After an interview with the Minutemen she goes "Thank you for all the work you do. Keep it up"

Someone has to stand up for what is right and it's downright unAmerican for Fox to have refused the ad. I wish there could be a public investigation into who is behind the decision to suppress this information on Obama. The ad is factual. It is Obama's life that is an abomination. Damn the media for believing his choices are too radical for prime time. I hope Free Republic keeps that ad top and center- and Freepers figure out how to promote it- until Obama is rejected and scorned by the American public. Thank you to Jim Robinson and the...

The Fox News Channel has refused a request by a group called America Issues Project to buy time on the network to run an ad criticizing presumptive Democratic party presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama over his friendship with unrepentent Weathermen terrorist Bill Ayers.The Associated Press reports a spokesman for Fox News would not give an explanation as to why Fox refused the ad buy.Fox has had a rocky relationship with the Obama campaign. Obama refused to participate in any presidential debates on Fox and has singled out the network for criticism in speeches on the campaign trail.Bill O'Reilly, host of...

For those who didn't have time to watch the entire hour documentary last night . . http://www.236.com/news/2008/08/19/fox_news_obama_documentary_in_8367.php

LYNCHBURG, Va. — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) personally went on the attack Wednesday on a best-selling new book that falsely describes him as a closet Muslim. Talking about "The Obama Nation," Obama said author Jerome Corsi was just making "stuff up." “But it gets a lot of play on Fox News,” he said to loud boos. The news network has interviewed Corsi. Obama said GOP attackers have "been very good at campaigning,” and he added that they'd try to make him out to be scary and risky. “Now I must say: I don’t find myself particularly scary or particularly risky,"...

The first few minutes has been nothing but negative.

I'll say this right now...I have more life experience to be President than this guy. UNFREAKINGBELIVABLE.They talked about his college years in NY...he was a young man in NY the same time I lived there....we're the same age. And like Obama, I lived in many different places. However, unlike Obama, I can tell you where I lived and when I had roommates..what their names were. This, I do not get.The actually showed a segment where his big accomplishment in Chicago was getting a community office moved so it would be more convenient for the workers to get there. THAT'S what...

McCain and Obama: each wants your vote as they battle to be the next commander in chief -- but how much do you really know about them? FOX News Channel presents two one-hour specials taking an unprecedented look at the character and conduct of the men who would be president. The Obama special, hosted by Bill Hemmer, airs Monday, Aug. 18, at 8 p.m. EDT.
