Jackson's Obama comments almost went unnoticed [FNC Holds Back More Damaging Revelations]

Bill O’Reilly AKA Mr. Loofah lies about FR but refuses to expose the truth about Jesse Jackson - even when it is on tape.

Jackson is an imposter on so many levels.

Why do we need our media to censor news.

And the left accuses the right of propaganda.

This might damage the “Messiah’s” standing with blacks - they’ve been trending close to 100% for him and are the biggest factor in favor of Obama’s attempt to capture a couple of Southern states.

Ugh. Listening to Warner Wolf this morning. Defending Obama on his suggestion that we all teach our children to speak Spanish.

Wolf has been all for her heiney till now. So once a dem always a dem despite his insisting he’s not political.

Blech.

This whole thing smells like an engineered event

- Clintons have always said that Obama may be seen by white voters just another Jesse Jackson
- who better to dis Obama then, than Jackson?
- Jackson didn’t even call FNC, he immediately called CNN, before this was released, to “apologize”, ensuring a media blitz
- Is it a surprise that Jackson’s son is Obama’s campaign manager?
- Imagine this all happening at a FOX News studio, knowing that FOX will run with it big time (vs, say MSNBC).
- Not a big deal for Jackson to sacrifice himself for Obama. He is not running for public office again anyway, and neither will lose a single black vote over the issue anyway
- Meanwhile Obama gets to position himself as a centrist, esp. for white voters
- Obama will politely “forgive” Jackson, thus allowing the MSM to crown him as a “uniter.”

I’ll stand my earlier post that Jackson probably called Obama a “house-n%%%r”

I’m not sure why Fox wouldn’t release the tape unless they fear a race war over the use of that word or BOR begged them so that he can get Jackson back on his show as a guest.

In any case, it’s only a matter of time before some employees grabs a copy and throws it up on youtube.

This is a well crafted scam to make voters think Obeyme isn't such a bad guy along with the Rev. Wright distancing.
Ain't buying it.

Bill O’Reilly pretends to be in charge of everything, he also has to constantly demonstrate his “fairness” with bizarre and flippant defenses of liberals.

And having on that Code Pink babe twice in one week. I can't watch anymore...it's an Obama swoon fest. And for a real and rare treat tonight--Dick Morris will be on! (another know-it-all)

‘We held back some of this conversation... we didn’t feel it had any relevance to the conversation this evening. We are not out to get Jesse Jackson. We are not out to embarrass him and we are not out to make him look bad. If we were, we would have used what we had, which is more damaging than what you have heard’...

O'Reilly has been in the last 6 or 7 years mostly about making sure that he gets the special guests from the left and from the right. The reason for that is to get higher ratings. Once he surpassed Larry King, he needed to do something to keep rising in the ratings. If he can only get guests from the right, then both FOX and O'Reilly would not get as many viewers from the left as they would like in order to get the higher ratings they seek.

If O'Reilly were to report the complete truth on both Obama and Jackson, then they could expect to kiss those two goodbye as special guests. O'Reilly cannot afford to be confrontational with any guests who he would like to get back for future shows. To get higher ratings which include whatever viewers they can get from the left, O'Reilly and Fox are sacrificing confrontation; getting at the truth is confrontational to democrats and that's why there are many liberal senators and congresspeople who will not agree to appear on FOX. And, O'Reilly and FOX know especially well that with the campaign season in full swing, they can't demean, confront, or challenge the guests that they need from the democrats.

O'Reilly and FOX have lately been mostly about kissing the democrats' butts than confronting those lefties about the truth. Ratings are more important to O'Reilly than reporting the truth. O'Reilly is all about ratings, as witnessed by his bragging on a monthly basis when the ratings are reported. O'Reilly is not about getting to the bottom of the story or getting at the truth. and unfortunately, neither is FOX.

Lately I can't get past the Talking Points. Last night the top three stories were to be about Barry Hussein...I turned him off. Again.

IMHO, you nailed it.

amazing how everything — that’s e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g — somehow is reported as “helping” Obama.
