Fox’s Greta Van Susteren To Sen. John Kerry: ‘Quit Whining’

» 135 comments

Oooo, Greta! You can always count on Greta Van Susteren‘s “GretaWire” blog to be — How to put it? — blunt as hell, and today’s offering is no different.

Van Susteren took to her blog to address comments Senator John Kerry made on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, where he opined that, when it comes to covering the debt crisis and the economy, the media needs to “stop making all arguments equal.”

Van Susteren cuts right to the heart of the matter by basically asserting that Kerry does not want the media to lend credence to viewpoints he personally finds disagreeable or even absurd. Viewpoints that, let’s say, go well with watercress sandwiches or crumpets. According to Van Susteren, this is “nuts.”

She also offers this interesting little nugget of information:

Well..there is more to this. Do you have any idea how many times we have offered to give Senator Kerry air time on ON THE RECORD at 10pm? We have called many, many, many times for him to appear on ON THE RECORD at 10pm but he does not want to. Of course it is his choice not to appear but then he needs to quit whining if we dare to air an opinion different from his own.

I think he is attempting to intimidate the media from airing others’ ideas. That is wrong. He is welcome anytime on ON THE RECORD at 10pm (he knows it) we will continue to call him. But…as note to him, we will also continue to book others with whom he disagrees. If he is so certain they are wrong, he is welcome to come on and tell us. I like to hear many viewpoints

In short, she says, Kerry should “quit whining” and, instead, promote the sharing of dissenting viewpoints by coming onto her show and saying his piece.

The cherry on the sundae here, however, is quite possibly her post script:

PS: Senator Kerry is a friend of my husband. I assume that Senator Kerry is well aware of strong willed wives.

    Regrettable
    Van Susteren

    The rise of Greta Van Susteren.

    By
    Jonah
    Goldberg
    From the October 26, 1998, issue of National Review

     

    EDITOR’S NOTE: Greta
    Van Susteren defected yesterday to the Fox News Channel. Van Susteren
    marks Fox’s second recent high-profile liberal addition, the first
    being Geraldo Rivera. In the October 26, 1998, issue of National
    Review, Jonah Goldberg wrote “Regrettable Van Susteren”
    about Miss Van Susteren and her ardent Clinton defending.

    I’m sure Senator Kerry doesn’t really consider Fox a real “news” organization. Many he’s been on previously and determined that political operating and masquerading as a legitimate news company, isn’t good for democracy.

    Morons like you are EXACTLY why the Founders created the First Amendment.  They didn’t want to have idiot citizens elect faux-intellectuals like Kerry who believe it’s their obligation to deem what is and what is not a “legitimate news company”.

    Thankfully, the First Amendment doesn’t make the distinction that you  – and Mr. Kerry – seem so eager to make.  The fact that a sitting US Senator takes to the airwaves to intimidate private companies from covering certain news in a specific way, should give everyone great pause  – or at least the people who are smart enough to understand the concept of free marketplace of ideas, which is a concept that apparently evades your grasp.

    Why would he participate in a forum where his views would be challenged? He’s used to getting nods of approval from the MSM. But that may be changing, too.

    Just the other day some dems got their panties in a bunch when the media didn’t echo their talking points about the FAA crisis, and ABC’s Tapper is committing heresy by questioning Obama’s economy in press conferences. Andrea Mitchell just said that she’s losing the Hope part of Hope and Change.

    Methinks some cracks are appearing in the lefty front.

    Besides the ones in Kery’s face, that is.

    Back when Kerry and me was at Harvard together , he was always whining about how dames would never pay for dinner . He solved that problem , but that was the last time he made sense. He was an obnoxious blowhard then , always referring to himself in the third person , and Big Eddie finds that hard to take.

    Typical Lib Rant. 

    If you ever were to watch her show you would see not only does she invite guests with opposing views, but she does her interviews showing a great deal of respect and allows her guest to respond completely without interuption..  she is quite different than most opinion show hosts on any of the networks, Fox, MSNBC, or CNN.  The only other host that I have seen do similar interviews is  Anderson Cooper, they both take the time to explore the positions of their guests.

    Unlike MSLSD, I mean MSNBC, FOX cable news get high rating in large part because MSNBC is so far left wing it is down right laughable. They might as well be part of the current administration. That’s why so many us that identify with the values of the Tea Party and other Conservatives call them the state run media. I realize Fox is a conservative news station but they are much closer to the center than MSLSD. The prime objective of the Tea Party movement is to restore fiscal sanity in government, period.

    What works for facts in science is presenting proof, not belief. Proof in science isn’t a model based on a miniscule data set and a bunch of estimated numbers. When you’re talking about the climate of a planet that has existed for millions of years (or thousands if you’re some types of christian) 50 to 100 years of actual data is insufficient. The science of global warming is in fact a religion. You have faith in the unproven and call it a fact. That is the antithesis of science. Please point out the fault in my logic and prove me wrong. I’ve been waiting a very long time for anyone to do so and it has yet to happen.

    Why have people forgotten that facts can’t be disputed? Equal time in the media for dissenting opinions is not going to make 2 + 2 = 5 or the sun revolve around the earth. That is what it means to be a fact.

    The way this country takes, borrows and spends others people’s money I think I found away to supplement my retirement nest egg. Over the next ten years I will apply and obtain several high limit credit cards.  Once I’m ready for retirement I’ll get a new 100% mortgage on my already paid for house and then cash out all my high limit credit cards and put the money in an off-shore accounts and then retire to a country that doesn’t have an extradition treaty never making a single payment. Nothing like living off the spoils of others.  I would make payments if I had what the government has, a money printing machine.

    I  know, a stupid retirement plan but what’s the government’s excuse? What they do is no better than what Bernie Madoff did and he didn’t even counterfeit money. That’s right the Federal Government will have to gradually monetize our debt. Why do you think so many people and countries are buying Gold and Silver? To protect themselves against a devalued dollar. There are not enough rich people to tax to pay down our debt.

    Kerry does look a bit heavy-handed here, no?  We all realize that liberals want to silence all opposition, but Kerry actually came out and said it.   Generally they use code language, but Kerry is getting a bit addled and made the ultimate liberal mistake — namely telling people what liberals really want.   He needs to learn from Obama, who only occasionally lapses into such bouts of raw honesty.

    That “I never advocated removing them from the air!” bit is one of the oldest dodges there is in the leftist/totalitarian playbook, and it’s getting really threadbare.  The only reason you personally don’t advocate censorship of Fox or all conservatives is that you have assbags like John Kerry and all his willing toadies in the leftist media to advocate it for you.  This is just your way of voting “Present” like the majority of you liberal tools always do. 

    Fact is, the minute the John Kerrys of this world actually propose some sort of legislation, or endorse some kind of executive order or bureaucratic action which would serve to make silencing conservatives the official policy of the US government, you and all of your liberal democrat friends will be all over the place defending it and claiming that speech is even “more free” now that the “right-wing lies” have been removed from the public arena.

    This is the argument put forward by Hugo Chavez and all his sycophants touting his particular method of “media reform”, which is nothing more than rounding up, imprisoning and/or executing opposition voices.  I have no doubt that if you get your way, we’ll be seeing the same kind of “reform” here, sooner rather than later.

    Kerry, Krugman and all the others who have been making the same “media responsibilty” argument are merely planting the seeds for it.  No surprise that the seeds have found such fertile ground in the American left.

    You guys are such brainwashed babies…  the fact is that they did not go far enough and the Credit worthiness of the US is going to be downgraded, the only adults in the entire argument were the conservatives as they pushed for saving our credit rating, something this BS compromise did not do.. But just keep living the dream Dems..  just keep living in your dream. 

    You’re losing the fight and you know that you will lose the presidency and probably the Senate in ’12.  The economy is going down the crapper and will only get worse until the government makes changes it should have years ago…  What is the Dem answer…  continue to keep us away from our own energy supplies…  import $500 to $700 billion a year in energy, roll out financial reform that chokes the economy and stiffles US business while the assholes on Wall Street still laugh at us…  Kill American industry via EPA and Interior agencies…   Refuse to allow the courts to settle Obamacare that has American businesses freaked and unwilling to invest as this just adds to the odds are just being stacked too high against them.

    Yeah you guys have the answers spend us into bankruptcy and if that doesn’t work just spend some more, and well….. ok, now it’s time to blame the Tea Party and the far right… coz it sure as hell isn’t the dumbassed Dems fault….  You throw everything you can against the economy and the American people then you sit around and muse about how smart you are and how the producers in the economy have f’d everything up…  you are a clueless bunch..  Now you’ve had your little show of complete incompetence,  as bad as Bush may have been he was fu*cking outstanding as compared to the house of fools in DC trying to run this country…  What is the President saying this week?  Anything that we haven’t already heard?….  Where is any serious attempt to come out and do something to get things moving in this country????  Oh, let me guess… “We are going to invest in Education”  “We are going to build High Speed Rail between Tampa and Orlando” – useless.  We’re gonna, we’re gonna, we’re gonna!  He ain’t got Sh*t!   Why doesn’t the man just GTF out of the way and take the handcuffs off of this economy so that America can get about the business of rebuilding herself…

    …When INSTEAD you can go on a TV show in the dead of night — which is appropriate since its audience is akin to crickets chirping — and you can then “debate” an Einstein level thinker like Mika. Who is such a stellar talent and Brainiac that her big claim to fame is being the one who has to bring the Starbuck’s coffee to the set each day.

    The fact that Kerry won’t go on Greta’s show AT ALL (despite all the REPEATED invites) and the fact that he will ONLY go on Lib-friendly shows like “Morning Joe” in the wee hours — where he feels safe and secure and knows that he’ll go completely unchallenged when shooting off his big fat mouth — simply shows what a total coward this guy is.

    Then again, his own shipmates already informed the nation about THAT streak running up his spine.
    Which THANKFULLY kept this privileged, pampered, elitist MORON out of the White House.

    Governor is taking the state off the Federal tit… Florida is no different than any other state, people want everything yet want to pay for nothing, or better yet have the so called rich pay for it… Governor is getting rid of the Federal Aid and all the strings attached to it,  we’ll see how things pan out he still has a few years to show results…  Looks like things are already getting better in Wisconson, their economy is starting to grow in a state where you guys are also pissed at a governor, yet hmmm,  in Illinios where I am sure that you must love the governor things seem going in a different direction…  Oh my..  it is a wonder how these things work.

    No I never said he didn’t have any principles. Republicans and Democrats from time to time vote in a political manner  — that’s just a fact of life. Generally, its my understanding, once its been ascertained that there’s enough votes to pass the bill and raise the ceiling, there’s room left for others to vote in the other direction and not effect full faith and credit of the United States of America. Look both sides do it. I believe in this last debt ceiling debate, there was some 138 Republicans still in the Congress that voted to raise the debt ceiling with no conditions are requiring any cuts to the budget. Would say they have no principles?

    (CNS News) — The percentage of Americans who expressly state that they are supporters of the Tea Party movement is currently about as large at 22 percent of the population as the 21 percent who say they are liberals, according to recent but separate Gallup polls.Meanwhile, at 41 percent of the population, according to Gallup, self-described conservatives outnumber both Tea Party movement supporters and liberals by nearly 2-to-1.

    Interesting to see the spin everyone here is taking on Kerry’s comments — presuming that he doesn’t want to be challenged. I listened to the interview. What he was saying is perfectly reasonable. That when one side is dealing in facts and other in paranoid fantasy they shouldn’t be given equal credence. That doesn’t strike me as cowardly, but common sense, which conservative used to be in favor of.

    Oh, and Alex, this has to be the laziest generalization anyone on Mediaite has ever posted … and that’s saying a lot: “Van Susteren cuts right to the heart of the matter by basically asserting that Kerry does not want the media to lend credence to viewpoints he personally finds disagreeable or even absurd. Viewpoints that, let’s say, go well with watercress sandwiches or crumpets.”

    you have got to be kidding! what do you think the main stream media is? A left wing political platform that sells opinions as fact
    let me see you are probably another liberally indoctrinated college grad who doesn’t know how to think for themselves. If you look a fox news you will see they have opposing views on their shows the liberal media does not.

    Hey Greta, get your face lift straighten. One day these so called over paid news announcers will do the job of reporting the NEWS instead of disrespecting people with their personnal feelings. Nobody on FOX should complain about whiners.That is what they do for a living, whine and lie. If she needs a real whining story to talk about there is always Murdock, so talk about your lowlife boss I DARE YOU!

    Its the Liberal way.  When you are on the wrong side of anything,  and Liberals are always on that side, your only alternative is to attempt to invalidate the side that has it right.  Liberals been doing this ever since the Right side came on line to challenge the BS from the Left.  I know it galls you leftists, but get over it.  your whining about it only makes you look more sillie.  And boy did Kerry hit an all time high for sillie.

  • HawkCW4

    Wow.  What a nice little liberal you are.  Do you honestly believe what you are trying to type here?

    The way things are going, I guess its time to start a movement of separation of Democrats and State.  All they have done for  years is screw it up.  Your poster boys do you proud Liberals.    Soros,   Moore.  got to love real americans like them.

  • HawkCW4

    Basically,  Kerry is asking that only a select few be allowed to determine what is a valid view and what is not.  Interestingly, the select few are all from the extreme left arrogant elitist group of whiners.  Kerry wants to lead that group,  look he has to lead something,  give him a bone.

  • Anonymous

    Of course Greta wants Sen. Kerry to stop whining
    because Faux news would be out of business if it couldn’t report lies as facts
    even after the lies are exposed.  Faux news exists to drive an agenda and
    promote an ideology and could care less if they have to lie and push the most
    absurd propositions imaginable to get the job done because they know their audience
    will believe anything that is consistent with their narrative.

    I do watch her at times and its no secret to me that she is no Right Wing Talking Head as the Liberals would have you believe.  She is one tuff host tho and you better have your facts cause she dont take kindly to BS and Spin from either side.  She asks a question and these guys will talk all night skirting the real issue or at least try,  She jerks their leash quick and gets them to either stick to the real issue or show the world you are not capable.  I would say she definitely leans left in ideology.  But also fair.

    Have you ever seen any indication that her beliefs (Religious) EVER entered into any thing she ever did?  NO You have not.  Have you ever seen anything from Romeny that indicated he was forcing his beliefs on anyone.  NO you have not.  All you and your liberal hacks have is innuendo.  No facts, Nothing real, just pure LIberal BS and Innuendo.  It takes you nowhere fast, only makes you look sillie and weak.

    BFD, when anyone makes a stupid statement they will get jumped on.  When a Congressional Critter does,  WE ALL need to get personal and attack him/her.   ForEver Liberals have demanded their free speech and you know what all they demand to be included.  Now somone actually presents an argument against what Kerry believes and he wishes to silence that side from any input.  HE HAS DETERMINED the right of his stance and does not want any other side to comment. And you wonder why Liberals are labeled Arrogant, elitist and hypocrites.  Because they are and always have been.

    Or, maybe exercise your intellect and commonsense by going to the news source that provides the most fair and balanced news.

    Then, depending on time constraints, also, if you can tolerate Socialist propaganda, listen or watch just about everything else.

    Note: There are de-programming specialists that can help those of you who have recognized you have a problem.  Effectively, for you, “cognitive dissonance” has become a pathology known as “cognitive distortion,” which is an actual mental illness.

    The first indication that you may be suffering from dissonance or distortion is the propensity to associate yourself with people who actively seek destroy their own culture as well as themselves and their loved ones.  If you are experiencing these symptoms and are a Socialist-Liberal, seek help, immediately.

    What you have posted here is an accusation, or allegation, with, ironically, no facts to back it up. Allegations are easy to make. You just make a statement, as if it were patently true. Anyone can do that. However, if you’re going to spout off, and especially if your accusation is about FOX News not sticking to the facts, you should provide some yourself or just be quiet. In other words, put up (some proof about what you’re alleging) or shut up.

    I never voted for Bush or Gore, figured neither were worth spitting on.  I did vote for Kerry because I was sick of the wars.  Then found out he was full of LIES, like the whole Looney Tune Left.  But, I remained a Democrat.  Them, Hussein Obama came along and he was nothing but Lies and Anti American, Anti Christian vomit, I left and became an Independent, voted for McCain, although I thought he wasn’t worth a damn, but the better of two evils.  Never again will I follow the Looney Tune Legion of Demons, which is what Obama, Pelosi, and Reid have turned the Democratic Party into.  ABFO in 2012!  Anyone But the Fool Obama!

    Maybe instead of calling the news professionals on fox news names, like a little kid, you should open your mind by shutting out msnbc, cbs, nbc etc.
    As a point of fact all of you who follow the quotes allegedly made by Rush Limbaugh, should actually listen to him.  He does this piece where he plays all the remarks, you afore mentioned great news stations say he says, then he plays back his actual remarks.  Speak of incorrect.  It is actually a shame to hear such venom and lies from what should be real news agencies.  The problem is these like MSNBC are so far out of line, they can no longer be called news agencies.   Had they done real reporting on the 2008 elections, this country would be on a far better course. 
    The separation of truth honesty and real reporting skills has become a thing of the past with such as MSNBC and a very profoundly incompetent bunch of childish adults.  You want to know what is wrong with out great country.  The media has forgotten that they are supposed to report the truth not make it up or make themselves the news.

    You know you have a point, cause Republicans talk show hosts’, politicians, bloggers, and cable news host (especially on Fixed Noise) never ever — ever — name call. I hear with my own ears went Limbaugh told a black female caller to: “Take that bone outta your nose and call me back latter”. I suspect you probably also talk — like that to black people ( but never to their face). I’ve hear unedited pieces of his racist diatribes  — and also read the transcripts in there totality to make sure there were not taken outta context. And there not!

    I personally don’t think Fixed Noise is not a news gathering and disseminating organization, but, its a political operation of the RNC and Republican Party. That’s my opinion, just like its your opinion that: “MSNBC are so far out of line”. Your opinion. However, when a fair analysis is done by neutral arbiters, my argument tends to bear out. Can you tell me have Fixed Noise ever reported a story incorrectly — by either there so-called hard news programming or their opinion programming and followed up with correction or an apology? Don’t waste your time researching the question.

    What past are you talking about? The 1950′s, 1960′s 1970′s, 1980′s; which decade(s) are you referring when in “your opinion” we had all this”real reporting skills going on”. Your spiel about reporting facts and not making things up goes to the heart of why people who criticizes Fixed Noise. I always remembered conservatives whining like little babies about the big-bad….Librul media bias.
    The last couple of sentences to your screed, it pure pablum and utter nonsense and truly unworthy of a reply.

    Anyway, good luck with your continued consumption of the “Fair & Balanced” cable joke.
