Amber Lee Ettinger, the woman who became famous for her viral video "I Got A Crush...on Obama," made it quite clear Thursday she's lost that loving feeling for the former junior senator from Illinois."If I had this crush on him the same way as I did in the beginning, I'd be the fool," she told Fox News's Sean Hannity.In many respects, Ettinger was speaking for a lot of Americans -- in particular…
Bozell: Fox News Winning in Quantity and Now Quality
A poll conducted last week by Public Policy Polling found that among 1,151 registered voters surveyed, Fox News Channel crushed the other networks in trust, with 49 percent of respondents saying they trusted FNC. That's 10 percentage points more than CNN, and 14 points more than MSNBC, the home of Obama-boosting or leftist personalities such as Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and…
PPP Prez makes PPP-U Statement About His Own PPP Poll
Yesterday, Noel Sheppard at NewsBusters noted that an organization known as Public Policy Polling (PPP) reported results of a survey it did showing that "Americans do not trust the major tv news operations in the country- except for Fox News." The survey-related quote comes from a post at PPP's blog. Tom Jensen, its author, pecked in quite a presumptuous final paragraph there (italics are Jensen…
Olbermann: O'Reilly's 'A Danger to the Safety of Our Elected Leaders
For the second night in a row, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann attacked Bill O'Reilly this time claiming the Fox News host is a danger to the safety of our elected leaders.This followed Monday's classless call for the "O'Reilly Factor" host to stop "stroking" himself in front of the public.On Tuesday, the "Countdown" host during his "Worst Person in the World" segment played a cherry-picked snippet of O'…

CNN might call itself the most trusted name in news, but a new poll found Americans think the Fox News Channel is the organization deserving this honor.In fact, according to Public Policy Polling, FNC is the only national television news organization that more people trust than distrust.Kind of makes members of the Obama administration who regularly depict Fox as not being a real news…

Olbermann To O'Reilly: Stop 'Stroking Yourself In Front of the Public
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on Monday told Fox News's Bill O'Reilly to stop "stroking" himself in front of the American public.I'm not sure what it is about MSNBC hosts, but the man that has been fixated on the term "teabaggers" for some reason felt it was appropriate to use a masturbation reference during a primetime, national television broadcast. Not surprisingly, the "Countdown" host during…
Blatant vs. Balanced: CNN, MSNBC Played Faves With Mass. Election Nigh
Building on Brad Wilmouth's critique at NewsBusters of Keith Olbermann's disgraceful treatment of Scott Brown's U.S. Senate victory in Massachusetts, Johnny Dollar (HT Taxman Blog) measured the coverage of the victory/concession speeches of Brown and his opponent Martha (or is it Marcia?) Coakley. Imagine my non-surprise when I saw the results (graph follows the jump): During Tuesday night's…

Kucinich's 'Fairness Doctrine' Threat To O'Reilly
During George W.'s administration, liberals loved to wail over the supposed--but never demonstrated--suppression of free speech. But now we have the spectacle of a member of the Dem majority warning a leading representative of Fox News to stop celebrating his network's success--under threat of reinstitution of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." On last evening's Factor, Rep. Dennis Kucinich,…
Fox Business Host Stuart Varney: Obama's Losing 'Ally' Warren Buffett
Liberal billionaire investor Warren Buffett has been very popular among the news media, but that might not hold if Buffett continues to dissent from President Barack Obama. On Jan. 20, Bloomberg reported that Buffett opposed Obama's proposal to tax a number of large banks supposedly to pay for losses from the bank bailout. "I don't see any reason why they should be paying a special tax," said…
Olbermann Renews 'Teabagging' Attack on Scott Brown, Cuts His Victory
While it is well known that MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann is the most viciously liberal voice to host a news program within the mainstream media, even he normally tones down his anti-conservative, anti-Republican vitriol when anchoring special events like election results. But during MSNBC’s coverage of the Massachusetts special Senate election, Olbermann’s presentation was more rabidly partisan than…
WaPo's Quinn: Scott Brown Success Due to '80s Semi-Nude Photo Shoot
The special election in Massachusetts is sure to be a close one. Should Republican Scott Brown prevail, however, the liberal media will have a host of ways to explain away the election as an anomaly and by no means a referendum on either the president or his legislative accomplishments (or lack thereof).Perhaps one of the most absurd instances of this thinking came on last night's "O'Reilly…
