I’ve seen JD on Fox once since he announced, two or three weeks ago on their morning show that’s after Fox and Friends. Martha McCallum interviewed him, and she was fairly contentious with him, and he criticized several McCain policies near the end of the short interview. Then, she became very flustered, and sputtered a little, closing with, paraphrasing: “Senator McCain is on Fox all the time, but we’ll have to him a chance to respond to those accusations.”
She was edgy and nervous, as if she was very uncomfortable hearing any criticism at all of Juan.
Have also noticed what a suck-up Hannity is, and his positions on the issues are much closer to JD than to Juan. It’s amazing how many are throwing all their passion about McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy, McCain/Lieberman and other huge issues out the window, and supporting Juan instead of the real conservative with whom they are much more in agreement.
Watching Fox very little lately. They’re just as into Beltway cronyism as anyone else.
If I were a high powered media mogul, I would buy a cable station and make a pure conservative talk station. Think 4 hosts like Beck/Hannity without having to mix in Greta/Shep etc. Ailes said he needs the opinion guys to pay for the news operation, screw the fair and balanced, give me the red meat. Oreilly still gets big ratings but if he were on head to head vs Mark Steyn/Walter Williams/maybe a libertarian hour, I would watch it in a heartbeat. During the day you could broadcast talk radio guys in their studios.
You have a point. While I am enraged at Democrats and Marxists I lost site of it. They promote people like Gingrich, Grahamnesty, Hatch, and McCain.
But even worse is Shep, Geraldo, Bob Beckel, Marc Lamont Hill and Juan Williams. While Juan is ok sometimes, he is showing his colors more lately.
I get the fair and balance kick they are on. But and I mean it but where is J.D. Hayworth.
I’ll still support Fox News. But at times it is good to question it.
Total BS. And McCain is far worse than Specter ever was simply because he is a backstabber and an underminer squatting in the Republican party. What was it: Specter/Feingold, Specter/Kennedy, Specter/Lieberman???
If JD doesn't win it, I'd much rather see a Dim in that seat then Juan McCain. Another Dim would do much less harm than Juan McCain.
Oh horseshit. Saying that FNC promotes RINO’s is total, utter barnyard matter. I can say this as one that has it on almost 24/7 (and have for years).
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Hannity is phony as a $3 bill. He has McCain on constantly and never asks him a tough question. He had Gingrich on 2 weeks after he endorsed Scozzafava—and didn’t press him on it! He is a real dunce and a “Cliff Notes conservative” who makes up in Irish charm what he lacks in brains. I’m sick of him, but then again I’m sick of Fox with Shep Smith dfendig the agenda every day, etc.

I wrote to him to express my displeasure with the coverage of Bloody Sunday, Shep, Jerry Rivers, BOR, et al.
It’s worth a try, though I doubt he listens.
Fox News is not as conservative as most people think. Yes they may be more balanced than the rest, but they are by no way conservative.
Dhep was loving it ripping into the ex congressman asking why did they not do more when he was in..shep loves obama.
I couldn’t agree more. I have been real disappointed with FoxNews lately. Last weekends Fox and Friends coverage of the Obamacare Nightmare was sickening.
I watched American Idol tonight to get away from BOR and Hannity!
Just curious.
Has anybody put together a list of elected RINOS and a list of elected “real” Republicans? What’s the ratio of RR to RINOS? how bad is the RINOvirus infection in the republican party today?
I must be really far to the right. I find Faux News to be just as left-wing as the other MSM.
Fox News appears conservative only because by contrast the other television stations, newspapers and writers are so far left.
I’m to the point that I absolutely cannot stand to watch or listen to Hannity anymore
A week cannot go by without one of his RINO guests (radio or TV) coming on to have a slobbering, fawning interview! Good grief, he won’t even call McCain out on his RINO tactics and hypocrisy.
I will not listen or watch Hannity anymore! He acts like an annoying little child!
Sean Hannity is the water boy for the Republican party (and for some of his Liberal buddies on the Left, too).
Would I like McCain to lose in the primary? Yes.
Do I dislike McCain? No.
Did I vote for McCain in 2008? Yes, and enthusiastically in the end. I knew then that the alternative, Barack Obama, would threaten our basic freedoms.
I still believe I was right. I hope and presume that many who bashed McCain at the time would now agree.
P.S. I have always, always been an enthusiastic Bush supporter. Loved him as President.
I agree. Who would have thought a year or two ago that Greta would have one of the best shows on Fox. I’d put her behind Beck but that’s it. Anyone notice that Greta seems to be the only television show on which you see Rush appear?
Occassionaly he’s on Hannity but he’s almost exclusively on with Greta. She really seems to have changed her old leftist ways.
