The spectacle of Fox News leadership in CEO Roger Ailes
The two plus sides of political discussion in the media should be a welcome course of debate in both liberal and conservative circles. Roger Ailes CEO of Fox News spoke to UNC Journalism students this past week in Chapel Hill. No Holes Barred was the spectacle provided to the students at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. First, UNC is not the pinnacle of the conservative thought or movement. Chapel Hill and Carrboro are known as the pinnacle of liberalism including an openly gay mayor in the state of North Carolina. Second, the personal attacks on certain conservatives are from an executive with his personal agenda no matter the costs to Fair, Balanced, and Unafraid journalism. The inside source about the bias of Fox News against candidates other than Mitt Romney did direct the blame of the policy to Roger Ailes. The backing of Mitt Romney by Roger Ailes did impact coverage on Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. The source did provide praise to Sean Hannity as a genuine … [Read more...]
Newt Gingrich is accurate on Fox News Bias
A source with close ties to Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Fox News did disclose last month during a business luncheon about a recent trip to New York to meet with management and PrimeTime personalities of Fox News. That meeting was an eye opener about the Pro-Romney bias was the policy at Fox News, and the writing was on the wall in big red Fox News font...Romney or else...Santorum and Gingrich were dead in the water no matter what. This disclosure was from a respected and fair conservative in his professional and political associations. This disclosure could not have come from a more respected or connected person with knowledge of the situation. The announcement by Newt was 85% verbatim of the information disclosed last month. Newt Gingrich does have every right to criticize Fox News, because Fair, Balanced, and Unafraid in this Republican nomination process is almost calling MSNBC moderate. It is simply is not … [Read more...]
Worst Case Scenario for Republicans: President Obama
The recent win in Illinois by Mitt Romney may have statistically brought Romney closer to securing the Republican nomination, but that does not stop the controversy from raging. Some insiders who spoke anonymous on the discontent within the party had one question "why". Why are the Republicans not attacking Obama instead of each other? Why is the establishment so gun-ho over Romney no matter what the cost? Why is Romney so electable against Obama when he is spending 7 to 1 in the primary with not impressive results ? One Republican insider speaking on condition of confidentiality is concerned about the ill focus fight against President Obama. The Republican infighting is leaving a breach of disrepair in the party. This breach is distracting the one common goal to defeat President Obama. As the insider discussed, " all concerted efforts should be made against President Obama, but instead all concerted efforts are being made to destroy ourselves(Republican Party)." As the insider … [Read more...]

LAST ITEM....My mother was listen to the Gay XM, and she brought to my attention about Mitt Romney strapping a dog to the car for a family trip. The … [Read more...]
NBC News: Santorum wins Alabama and Mississippi
By Michael O'Brien, msnbc.com Updated 10:50 p.m. -- Rick Santorum scored victories in the Mississippi and Alabama primaries on Tuesday, depriving Mitt Romney of a signature win in a conservative stronghold and raising fresh doubts about the viability of Newt Gingrich's campaign. The former Pennsylvania senator made his case for being the lone, serious Republican challenger to Romney for the remainder of the primary by besting Gingrich in states the former speaker's campaign had previously said were essential to its long-term viability. “We did it again,” Santorum said to wild applause from supporters in Louisiana, and amid projections by NBC News that he would win both Mississippi and Alabama. Romney had hoped to score a victory in Mississippi, thereby proving his ability to win a state that composes part of the heart of the modern GOP. But he appeared to be heading to a third-place finish in both contests, failing to even surpass Gingrich, a candidate who’s … [Read more...]

Before polls closed, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney appeared to downplay the importance of the contests in the two states. Even before the outcomes were known, he said, rival Rick Santorum is “at the desperate end of his campaign.” “He’s far behind in the delegate count, he’s far behind in the popular … [Read more...]
