Fox News Signs Dennis Kucinich As Contributor

Fox News Channel has signed former Congressman Dennis Kucinich as a paid contributor to FNC and Fox Business network. Kucinich, who was for years a liberal stalwart in the House of Representatives, will provide analysis and commentary across all of FNC and FBN’s programs, beginning with Thursday’s edition of “The O’Reilly Factor.”

Wow, I have to agree with that whole post. Grinchin Carlson has become sickening in the last few months.

I like Doocey, but Grinchin’ always disses the guys and sits around with a know it all attitude and a smirk. My husband and myself yell when she speaks. That is the cue we need to quit FOX & Friends.

FOX and Grinchin are about to be the past in my morning.

It used to be a good show. I am done with it!

That Sally woman gets the off button on my remote. FOX is on it’s way out.

While I have no use for his politics, in a way I believe Kucinic is a decent guy. As far as I know he has always stuck to his principles (warped as they seem to me). He is also one of the few to leave congress without becoming a multimillionaire. I still don’t want to watch him, but I think he does deserve this much credit.

I had satellite tv for decades because of the instant availability of news as it happened. There used to be some pretty decent programming. However, for the psst few years I’ve wondered why I continued to pay out the nose for a dwindling number of shows that had any semblance of intelligent thought. Finally, FOX was the only reason I kept it. A few weeks ago I realized that FOX was, indeed appeared to be, trying to rival the msm for inane, irrelevent banter and political correctness. I also realized that I was helping pay for the spread of Liberal tripe much more than supporting common sense. So I now have no tv service at all. Some of my friends acted as if I had sold my car and bought a horse and buggy. I now get my news via the internet and listen to Conservative talk radio. I bought dvds and music for myself and my grandchildren. It has been positively liberating and enlightening and I am better informed than ever before.

I did all this before I even heard about “Al” Jazeera, the baby momma show or little rodent Dennis being invited on FOX. Needless to say, I’m glad I made the move. I would advise anyone to assess the value of the programming that’s coming into their homes. You may be a little shocked at what even the Family Package is feeding your kids and grandkids if you take the time to watch. I know I was.

That makes sense.
This pick may be good for ratings.
If he performs as expected he should be a good source of controversies.
And he has his lefty fans of course, he should bring some of them to watch. In the process they may learn something.

[manc]

have you seen her harp on about women vs men and this women make better cooks etc.
She moans about PC but then is quick to be PC herself about women.
She is a flake of the highest order, how Doocy puts up with her I don;t know and as for her Miss America comp, WOW, what a ditz, again today she was promoting it.

I’ve now basically given up on that show too because of her but was it me or did she seem more quiet than usual as if she had an argument with someone before her show?

She did not look comfortable my wife said when that tall good looking younger blond English woman was on and WTH is it with ehr dresses she has bene wearing, today my wife said was a page from the decades and is there a law in NY City which stop women from wearing long loose skirts?

As for her anti gun rants lately, WTH she needs to read the constitution.

To think this ditz got her break by being a ditz and gets paid very good for being a ditz.

Also remember when she said why do people need these kind of guns and my reply to her was, why do you need that big house over 3,000sq ft, why does your boy which you dry still after gving him a bath at aged 7 need an easy bake oven .

No reply from her.

See when she asked who is the biggest liar and the English woman said Clinton and I think it was Doocy which said we’ve had a lot of mail saying the same thing LOL

That is rationalization. If there were enough viewers, the net work would exist.

I yield to your better understanding of network TV.

Roger Ailes knows what he is doing and has produced the most conservative product economically possible. There can be no doubt about his conservatism.

Thank you for your opinion.

“Contributor” usually implies a net positive.

In that case, he won’t be “contributing” until he leaves.

[bert]

I would argue that you are not interested in news but in right wing propaganda to sooth your anxiety. A CNN like purveyor of conservative propaganda pablum is not economically viable.

Kookinich is all we need!

[dforest]

Once again, everything you say is true. I was wondering if it was just me and my husband, but I am sick of this woman. The only way to get rid of her is to quit listening to FOX and Gretchen.

I also notice that she is usually an ass when a good looking woman is on the show. Her jealousy is written all over her snarky attitude.

Gawd, she is an obviously catty witch. What she did to Hank Jr was about the worst treachery I have seen from her. He was a guy who lauded that stinky witch in a song.

There is stuff out there on on the net that she had an affair a while back. LOL

Does he get to use a high chair?

Now I’m thinking of cancelling cable altogether. Although I will miss...

We did, early last year, except for Internet only. We record (on a Personal Video Recorder - a computer) over the air high-definition TV shows like NCIS and Blue Bloods and watch them later when we want. If there is a big news story, local or national, regular over-the-air channels will cover it.

All four family members are watching much less TV and no cable news channels -- not one. I seem happier, the other three say.

Fox News Signs Dennis Kucinich As Contributor...Good. I think he’s funny.

>> “There are many here who long for a Conservative net work. The plain fact is, there are not enough viewers to provide the commercial support required to do the job.” <<

.
Just poor analysis on your part.

.
There are not enough viewers willing to suffer through Ailes’ and Murdoch’s anti-christian and anti-normal programming bias is what the problem is.

Conservatives simply will not waste their time watching Fox, and it will continue its present slope into oblivion.

Conservatives have learned to find their news and entertainment in media other than TV.

>> “Roger Ailes trying like hell to equal MSNBC’s audience size. He may do it yet.” <<

.
Yes, he is on his way, and definitely up to the task.

[beandog]

I agree with you. When we first got Fox on our cable I was very excited. Gradually over the years, it took a real downward turn and I quit watching.

I think a true conservative network would draw better numbers than Fox. It was conservatives that made Fox what it is. We got screwed on that deal.

[Resettozero]

A CNN like purveyor of conservative propaganda pablum is not economically viable.

"...purveyor of conservative propaganda pablum..." Sounds like something ANY conservative FReeper might say.

And you hold Roger Ailes as a standard of what it means to be a conservative. No, I don't miss FNC at all; I catch Sarah's Fox News appearances later on a variety of streaming websites.

Weird quotes and other weirdness by Dennis Kucinich.

“The energy of the stars becomes us. We become the energy of the stars. Stardust and spirit unite, and we begin: One with the universe. Whole and holy. From one source, endless creative energy, bursting forth, kinetic, elemental. We, the earth, air, water, and fire source of nearly 15 billion years of cosmic spiraling” (remarks to Praxis Peace Institute, June 9, 2002).

“I am running for President of the United States to enable the Goddess of Peace to encircle within her arms all the children of this country and all the children of the world.”

“In that moment I had a new understanding that this flag, as spangled with stars as a bolt of heaven itself, connects the United States with eternal principles of unity, of brotherhood, of sisterhood. … One bright star shines for hope. Another star for optimism. Another for well-being. One for freedom. One for abundance. One for creativity. One for togetherness. One for peace. One star to wish upon to create your highest aspirations, to make your dreams come true” (remarks at Redwood Sequoia Conference, Sept. 14, 2002).

“(Singing Softly) O, say can you see
O, Canada! glorious and free!
(Speaking) O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave
(Singing) O, Canada!
(Speaking) We stand on guard for thee
(Slowly and Quietly) O, Canada, we stand on guard for thee”
(remarks at Conference on Unity, Sovereignty, and Prosperity, Nov. 30, 2002).

“We cannot hope to end terrorism by killing terrorists.”
—On Dennis 4 President website.

“We’re asking our countries’ leaders to understand that the world is undivided. We’re asking our countries’ leaders to see the world as an interconnected whole. We’re asking our countries’ leaders to take a holistic view of the world and to allow the globe, the sphere of the Earth herself, to exist free from an assault from space” (remarks in Malibu, Calif., Feb. 23, 2002).

“After I lost the [mayoral] election in Cleveland in 1979, I moved to California for a while. I actually remember walking in the area around L.A. known as MacArthur Park, and I was thinking of that song and thinking of the lyrics where they talk about ‘Someone left the cake out in the rain. It took so long to make it.’ And it goes on, raising the question of whether I’ll ever have that recipe again.”

According to the Associated Press and the Plain Dealer, Shirley MacLaine is the godmother to Kucinich’s daughter. She introduced Kucinich to Chris Griscom, who has become a “spiritual adviser” to Kucinich. Griscom, who reportedly helped MacLaine “communicate with trees,” has founded two institutes “to teach people how to connect with their inner [selves], partially by helping them to remember their past lives.” Carol Rosin, another Kucinich friend and supporter, “helped arrange to send the cremated remains of her friend LSD guru Timothy Leary into space.”

“Furthermore, I’m also a board member of Parliamentarians for Global Action, which is one of the largest group of parliamentarians in the world, and I meet regularly with world leaders from countries throughout... around the globe.”

U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich is suing a restaurant company for $150,000 for selling him a sandwich containing an unpitted olive, the suit alleges. The 64-year-old Democrat bit into the sandwich wrap at the Longworth Cafeteria in the House office building in April 2008, according to the complaint. The sandwich contained an unpitted olive, rendering it “unwholesome and unfit for human consumption,” the complaint said.

As always.

Not just on TV, but also in the Republican party.

I’m beginning to feel like a whore, but not making the salary.

Thank you. Reading his quotes in your post, I feel I now know enough about DK to satisfy my curiosity for a good long while. Matter of fact, I do remember my impressions of him from the past. It’s still a good thing I do not receive FNC.
