Fox News is claiming to have CONFIRMED that a seven-page email exchange occurred among top officials in the weeks just after the Benghazi attack. The email exchange was to come up with a media strategy regarding a Fox News report from September 27, 2012, that concluded the Obama administration knew within 24 hours that the Benghazi attack was indeed a terrorist attack. Those on the email exchange were Obama’s former Deputy National Security adviser Denis McDonough, current CIA chief John Brennan, and presidential adviser Ben Rhodes. The email exchange, characterized as ‘stunning’, is being withheld by the State Department citing...

he O'Reilly Factor's "Talking Points Memo" once again addressed the release of a Benghazi memo which stated that the White House's goal was to blame the YouTube video for the Benghazi attack to divert attention away from Obama's policy failures. "There's no question that the White House misrepresented the terror attack on September 11 in Benghazi, Libya," O'Reilly said, and pointed out that not one person had been brought to justice. While Obama had blamed critics of his actions and inaction in Benghazi of creating a political agenda, O'Reilly pointed out that the memo instead proved that Obama had created...

When the story broke about the feds going to Nevada, to make a rancher pay grazing fees, my staff did what it always does. We researched and found out the facts and those are these. That rancher Cliven Bundy broke the law for many years by not paying the fees, that the federal government owns the land and that the State of Nevada readily admits the feds have jurisdiction in the grazing controversy. Those are the facts. So, we presented them to you and then mildly criticized the feds for overreacting. You may remember, Judge Napolitano and I basically said...

That is, according to the blowhard O'Reilly. So, the blowhard Ted Baxter opens his show with his stupid talking points by ripping into some MSNBC hack and how this hack blamed FOX for their excessive coverage on the Bundy ranch event of a couple weeks ago. Ted then asks if this MSBNC hack was not watching the excessive MSNBC coverage of the Christie Bridgegate event. Ted then says (I'm paraphrasing here) if this guy did his homework he'd have known that MSNBC too was guilty of excessive coverage of the Christie event. So basically, Ted said the guy was irresponsible....

Fox Host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday claimed that he could have been the Marlboro Man. "While I was covering the News in Denver, I was approached by a modeling agency to be the Marlboro guy dressed as a cowboy," he said on the "O'Reilly Factor" while lamenting the lack of a public health campaign warning about the dangers of weed. He lauded the U.S. government's campaign against smoking tobacco, but said that the U.S. has taken the opposite approach to pot. "Smoking marijuana is quite the opposite. That’s on the rise, as pot use is considered cool in many...

Count me as a fan of the divergent brands of Fox News, hip-hop and Jay-Z. Growing up in the Bronx, New York in the 1980s and 1990s, a product of the New York City public school system, hip-hop is in my blood. It has changed my life for the better, as the hip-hop lifestyle teaches so many important American values. From the importance of rising up no matter what your circumstances, to constantly working hard and seeking more and more, to personal responsibility, there are so many hip-hop values that all Americans – including political conservatives – must appreciate....

As the U.S. Senate took up a bill to provide financial aid to Ukraine, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, rose to object to an IMF bailout Majority Leader Harry Reid attached to the legislation. In the process he blasted Reid for repeatedly demonizing the billionaire Koch brothers - Reid tried to blame the Koch brothers for halting progress on the Ukraine bill. "I'm beginning to think [the Koch brothers] are a character almost out of Dr. Seuss in the majority leader's mind, they are the grinch who stole Christmas in his telling," Cruz said. Cruz accused Reid of "using his...

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly has waged a bet with liberal commentator James Carville that Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana will lose her seat in November, the New Orleans Times Picayune reports O’Reilly said on his show that the Democrats would relinquish their Senate majority in the midterm elections, and he cited Landrieu as one of the incumbents who would be trounced by Republicans. "She better be looking for another job," the outspoken conservative critic said of the three-term senator. “She's out."

Recently, the Clown Prince of Journalism, Bill O'Reilly, called Barack Hussein Oblahblah a "patriot". I kid you not. From the good folks at Breitbart: *** “ 'I said on Kimmel that both President Bush the younger and Barack Obama are patriots because they served their country,' O’Reilly said. 'You may not agree with them, alright? But I don't think you say they're not patriots unless you have, you know, evidence that is just through the roof. I think almost every president that's ever served this nation has been a patriot, including Richard Nixon.' " http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/02/21/OReilly-Doubles-Down-on-Obama-Is-a-Patriot-Claim-Says-Nixon-a-Patriot-as-Well *** Now of course, this...

I saw this headline this morning on my twitter feed. It is on Breitbart. O'Reilly says Obama is a patriot. I saw the Super Bowl interview. BOR asks a viewers question - why do you want to fundamentaly change this country that has provided so much opportunity for you? Obama says he did not say that. Flat out lied. Yet BOR says he is a patriot who wants the best for America. Are we as a nation truly lost now?

The following is mostly satire. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld was criticized this week for not including minority comedians in his web comedy series. In response, the comedian said, “I have a dream that we live in a nation where comedians are not judged by the color of their skin but by the humorous content of their schtick. This skin color obsession has got to go! It has even given us a mediocre dictator, instead of a Stalin we got a Mugabe!” As noted last week, Sandra Fluke was considering running for Congress in the district currently represented by Henry Waxman who...

In an effort to find common ground, President Obama suggested that he and Bill O'Reilly both received a little help to make it through college. But Obama didn't realize he was talking to a rugged, bootstrap-pulling individualist who subsidized his education through his own blood, sweat and tears. During the unedited portion of O'Reilly's Super Bowl Sunday interview, Obama explained that he has "not massively expanded the welfare state." The government's current support structure, Obama said, isn't all that different from "thirty years ago, forty years ago, fifty years ago." "You and I took advantage of certain things. I don’t...

Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views. – William F. Buckley Jr. In O’Reilly’s extended Super Bowl interview, Big Guy made it perfectly clear that he felt Bill had been “absolutely” unfair to him throughout his presidency. Again Exhibit 1: in his Super Bowl interview (full transcript here) Bill raised uncomfortable issues like the botched Obamacare website, the IRS targeting of conservative groups and the deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi. Issues that the MSM, and consequently, ordinary Americans are not interested in....

President Barack Obama said that he is “in a lot of ways” less liberal than former Republican President Richard Nixon and said Fox News Channel's Bill O’Reilly has been “absolutely” unfair to him throughout his presidency in an interview that aired Monday night. “In a lot of ways Richard Nixon was more liberal than I was,” Obama said. “He started the EPA, started a whole lot of the regulatory state that has helped keep our air and water clean.” Obama's comments came in response to O'Reilly asking him if he was “the most liberal president of all time.” Obama also...

As millions of Americans were doing on Sunday, I was preparing to watch the Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos. I had hoped to be able to tune out politics for a single day, but, alas, this was not the case. Bill O'Reilly scored an interview with President Obama that was shown before the game. I made the mistake of listening to it and therefore upset my stomach before the spicy wing invasion could begin. Listening to Obama lie, dodge, and blame everybody else under the sun really leeched some of the enjoyment out of the day...

O'REILLY: All right. Was it the biggest mistake of your presidency to tell the nation over and over, if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance? OBAMA: But this is -- this is one that I regret and I've said I regretted, in part because we put in a grandfather clause in the original law saying that, in fact, you were supposed to be able to keep it. It obviously didn't cover everybody that we needed to and that's why we changed it, so that we further grandfathered in folks and many people who thought originally, when they...

Feb. 02, 2014 - 10:01 - Bill sits down with President Barack Obama to discuss an array of topics

It’s Sunday and I guess there’s nothing else happening in the world other than the Super Bowl. Before our big party begins today, Big Guy’s having another sit down with Bill O’Reilly; which is rather odd as everyone knows how he feels about the Fox News Network.Last fall BO accused Fox of lying about the increased costs of Obamacare, and just last week he complained that Fox and Rush have prevented him (the greatest orator of all time!) from getting his message out: "... the issue has been the inability of my message to penetrate the Republican base so that...

Conservative talk-show host Bill O'Reilly has landed an interview with President Obama on the pregame show before the Super Bowl Feb. 2. It will come less than a week after Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday, and could provide some interesting fireworks before a huge audience.

Fox News has decided to spice up Super Bowl Sunday with an interview with one of the most famous people in the United States and someone who’s not such a huge fan of the network. Bill O’Reilly will conduct a live sit-down interview with President Obama during the FOX Super Bowl Sunday pre-game show on Sunday, beginning approximately at 4:30PM/ET. The interview will take place at the White House and cover a wide range of topics.
