It’s almost as if Fox executives suddenly turned on the TV and discovered they’ve been an instrumental partner and 24/7 promoter of a political movement.

Glad they finally noticed there is indeed a difference between reporting and advocating.

MSNBC trying to MAKE news!
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/04/16/nbc_reporter_to_black_man_at_tea_party_have_you_ever_felt_uncomfortable.html

Let’s also not forget that Ms. Schlussel is a long-time Hannity-hater. Her most recent campaign against Hannity was the whole non-profit blather, which has resulted in a lawsuit, and refutation of her non-evidence.

No doubt there’s some angst over this at FNC… but I’m not prepared to take Schlussel’s word for it, especially when her agenda is so very clearly.

This is just more proof that Ailes is striving to be fair and balanced. If he didn’t care he wouldn’t have pulled the plug on yesterdays show.

Let’s not read too much into this. Ailes is a business man, and this is a sensible business decision. Hannity @ 8:00pm is a Fox product. The promoters is using a Fox product for profit, and Fox was not notified; no agreement between Fox and the event organizers is made. Fox is not getting anything in return for it; moreover, Fox may end up getting harm by the bad PR.

Imagine if you run a business (say, McDonalds), and you see an ad today for a “For Profit” rally, and advertises free Big Mac from your restaurant for all attendees to this event. Then you learned that one of your employees was invited to speak at this event, and agreed to this without you knowing…what would you do?

I’d pull the plug on the whole thing in a heartbeat.

Again, purely business…makes no sense for Fox to get involved in this “for-profit” event.

FOX pulled out because the “Tea Party” is just another republican tactic to win the next elections, and FOX news must remain neutral. Hannity, just like Rush is a mouth piece for the Republican Party. I see his days numbered on Fox because of this…

, conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel”

LOL

As conservative as Arianna Huffington.

Mediaite, you are quickly becoming a joke.

Pure business decision. Hannity was using FOX as his own personal cash cow. Of course, Ailes is furious. However, Ailes has never given a tinker’s toot for fairness, balance or journalistic integrity. He got irritated because he was being scammed.

I don’t think your comment makes sense. How was Hannity “using” FOX?

Remember, the “for profit” hasn’t been established as being “for Hannity’s profit,” rather it’s been suggested that it was “for that organization’s profit.” There’s a difference, no?

Hannity is the one with integrity, He does not try to hide the obvious. Why should Sarah Palin be the only one to do it? Ailes is sore because Rubert, the boss, just said on TV that he did not think that FOX news should be supporting the tea party, and this stunt by Hannity makes the boss look bad.

Hannity is the one with integrity, He does not try to hide the obvious. Why should Sarah Palin be the only one to do it?

Yeah, Sarah works for Fox too but the $100,000 deal she had going on a month or so ago was aired by Fox news and the other news channels. There has to be something more to it.

The phony is just flinging you know what, again.

ImNotBlue likes to lie and make things up. In fact, there was no lawsuit, nor any refutation of the facts that Hannity’s Freedom Concerts are a scam and a money-making venture for his cronies at Premiere Marketing and Freedom Alliance. And Hannity charged millions of dollars in private planes and other travel to the Freedom Concerts, contrary to his lies. Facts are stubborn things, but I’mNotBlue chooses to make up stories when the actual facts don’t fit his truth. In fact, because of my work, Charity Navigator cut its rating of the scamming Hannity charity in half:

“JamesTaylor’s” claim that I’m “not conservative” b/c I criticize wrongdoing on the right by frauds like Vannity and Palin, is absurd. I’m a down the line conservative, who doesn’t agree with Huffington on a thing, as you well know. Morons like you think conservatism is about hypocritical personalities rather than rock solid principles. Get a clue.

Jack Burns says: “FOX pulled out because the “Tea Party” is just another republican tactic to win the next elections, and FOX news must remain neutral.’

Oh, really? Don’t forget the gun-toting, bigoted, wing-nut part when describing the “Tea Party”. < Sarcasm here.

Via Mark Koldys?

Hell must have an ice skate ring and a hockey team.

I’ve been telling that moron and his sheep, the ones polluting Mediaite – Jeffy Bovine, IGotNoBalls, the drunk gold digger, hagzilla, the Asshley, Fox Fan, clownjet, PhuckE0,

Fox is a gNOpig propaganda network.

But Marky jacks off daily with the all important “demo” and then tries to tell you Faux delivers “news”

Almost forgot, Mark Koldys is no fan of KKKlownnity. Yes, it sounds incredible. In one of the rare instances when that coward actually opened his mouth, he has admitted he is no fan of Sean.

Then returned to jack off with the “demo” figures.

Hey Captain America, why don’t you use the name you use at the NewsHounds?

I was searching this news only.I think Hannity has not tried to hide the obvious.Additionally,Great to know Sarah Palin is the only one twho has also worked for Fox.Thanks a lot to sharing great topic and sharing here.
r4i gold

conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel

Ha, good one.

Debbie Schlussel deserves a Pulitzer for exposing these faux Conservatives, may she prosper and root them out, each and every one of them often and always.

Shannity is a good start. Next she needs to move on to Malkin and Goldberg and the rest of them, all defending Shannity. It is shocking that Malkin is defending him, after all the investigative journalism she has been a part of.

Moreover, Fox cannot have it both ways. They cannot accuse MSNBC and NBC of supporting the Democrats and then turn around and completely merchandise and market the Tea Party on air. This is nothing new, it started last year, with Greta, Grif Jenkins, Shannity, Cavuto and the inception of the Tea Party Express. Also the contributors like Michelle Malkin, who has been to several rallies as a speaker. This should not be.

If it wasn’t for someone from Media Matters questioning Mr. Murdoch about it a few weeks back, it would still be going on.

Shannity needs to produce all of the records from the Freedom Concerts, which he has not done and the Ohio Tea Party needs to do the same.

And it’s a good thing that Mr.Murdoch has stepped in and is paying closer attention to his business.

Obviously Roger Ailes thought it was all fine for the last year.

PS Sarah Palin should step down from Fox.

She is also another one out and about marketing the Tea Party, she should no longer be allowed to contribute to Fox.

“FairNYC says:

PS Sarah Palin should step down from Fox.
She is also another one out and about marketing the Tea Party, she should no longer be allowed to contribute to Fox.”——–OK, then you also must believe that ANYONE promoting a specific party or ideology should be forced to step down from Fox, MSNBC, CNN, or the major network news outlets. Therefore, you must agree that Olbermann, Schultz, Maddow, and Matthews at MSNBC–all of whom are cheerleaders for Obama and the Democrats–must also step down. You have to agree to that. If you’re going to say that Hannity and Palin should step down then you absolutely must agree that the entire prime time line-up at MSNBC should also leave. Agreed? Good. Hey it’s bipartisanship!

Hey Rick, MSNBC is “The place for politics” — not a “Fair and Balanced” news organization.

If MSNBC starts promoting themselves as a place that reports all sides of the news in order to allow its viewers to make up their own minds (“We report. You Decide”), then yes, MSNBC will need to address its left-leaning primetime lineup. But they don’t do that, now do they.

Exactly, Fox news claims to be Fair and Balanced, they cannot support any party.

Bottomline, Mr. Murdoch is aware of this and is instituting changes.

A business decision by Fox? OK, right. Don’t tell me that Murdoch and Ailes didn’t know what was going on. Both of them are legendary control freaks. Ailes and Murdoch knew exactly what they were doing when they began pandering to the extreme right and the Tea Party. It’s blowing back on them now, and they can’t take the embarrassment — not to mention the potential harm it would do their sponsors. The only thing they were “blindsided” by was the negative reaction they’ve been getting across the country. They aligned themselves with racists and birthers and thought they could get away with it. Wrong.

How about this one, Hannity retires from FOX to go full-time with Sarah Palin promoting the tea party. Would that be Palin/Hannity, or vice versa? :-)

To “Roger Jackson,”

Fox will never make it with these guys at the helm…what were they thinking..?
Let me try to understand your rant…

-legendary control freaks
-pandering extreme right tea party
-blow back embarrassment
-potential harm sponsors
-racists AND birthers
-negative reaction across the country..?

Yeah, dude. YOU’RE going to be very successful someday and FOX is doomed…

I’m a down the line conservative, who doesn’t agree with Huffington on a thing, as you well know. Morons like you think conservatism is about hypocritical personalities rather than rock solid principles. Name one issue on which I’m not conservative. Get a clue.

“DebbieSchlussel” — if that is the real person, and chances are it is — you can’t tell the difference between the truth and absolute nonsense often enough to be taken seriously.

IMHO, everything that is falsely alleged about Glenn Beck’s stability is true in your case. You almost can feel spittle hitting you in the face when reading your blog entries. And you make enemies with no provocation and great relish. For example, you’ve called Laura Ingraham a “raving animal rights lunatic” for writing this 2001 column criticizing urban sprawl, writing that it “could have been written by the most militant [PETA], ALF, or ELF activist.” Anyone who can read can tell that’s baloney.

But, as happens every so often, you are the right-wing flavor of the month for the Media Matters/Mediaite types because you are now the enemy of their enemy: Sean Hannity. They have long memories under normal circumstances, but in this case they conveeeniently forget the way you flew off the handle like the Concorde after the VaTech massacre, accusing an absolutely innocent Korean student studying in Indonesia of being the gunman.

Well, unfortunately for them — and you — my memory is longer.

I invite anyone to read the Laura Ingraham column, and you’ll see her sentiments are exactly those of PETA and ALF, despite what LNS claims above. The article is entitled, “The Scariest Animal Wears Pants.” She decries strip malls, housing, building, and says we’re at fault for bear and shark attacks. Sadly, Laura Ingraham endorses many other non-conservative programs and activities, like gay rights, more money for AIDS research (it doesn’t get enough?), etc. And yet, she secretly outed gay students to their parents when she was in college, then her later for stalking married ex-boyfriends. If that’s conservative, well you have an interesting definition for it.

Facts are stubborn things.
Here’s my column on Laura Ingraham’s animal rights and eco-freak BS, for those who don’t know:
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/894/coyote-ugly-take-that-peta-laura-ingraham/

I laughed to myself about Laura Ingraham who recently adopted 2 kids after Ann Coulter condemned single motherhood.

So let’s quickly go over what we already know about Ms. Schlussel. According to her Wiki page, she a far-right writer who often writes about the common right-wing issues. However, she also spends a good deal of time and effort attacking, “faux-conservatives”… in this case (or in her opinion), Hannity.

She has been attacked by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and Media Matters. Personally, she’s gone after homosexuals, Muslims, captured American journalists, and a bunch of other left-wing causes… so why she’s now a “darling” of the lefties is beyond me. If someone said a bunch of stuff you really hated before, stuff you found offensive, and you consider her liar for those reasons, why you believe her now… well, I guess whatever is convenient is what you determine the truth to be. But anyway…

So that’s Ms. Schlussel… a far-right critic who’s career is in somewhat of a slump.

But now let’s look at her response to my post:

This may be the most truthful thing she says. After a bit of research, I appear to have overstated the situation. There has been talk around the web about Hannity POSSIBLY suing Ms. Schlussel for libel… as of now, nothing has been published. My mistake. My apologies.

…nor any refutation of the facts that Hannity’s Freedom Concerts are a scam and a money-making venture for his cronies at Premiere Marketing and Freedom Alliance.

Now that’s VERY wrong.

Hannity’s Big Rip-Off (UPDATED w/ Correction)
By John Tabin on 3.19.10 @ 10:15AM
4 PM UPDATE:

Readers:
Information regarding Freedom Alliance that appeared earlier in this spot was innacurate or misleading and has been removed. Any further mention of this material as having appeared in this post will either mention or disavowal or be deceiving to readers.
– R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.

3:30 PM UPDATE: Just to be clear, the story below appears to be fundamentally flawed. You’ll see that if you follow through the links at the bottom, but I wanted to add a note up here so no one is misled.

http://spectator.org/blog/2010/03/19/hannitys-big-rip-off

Additionally, the Freedom Alliance released an official statement (read: refutation) of the situation.

Furthermore, the complaint was picked apart on David Frum’s site (another newly minted left-wing hero):

Hannitized is Sanitized
March 19th, 2010 at 5:22 pm

Debbie Schlussel posted a long piece last evening about a charity that Sean Hannity is affiliated with, accusing them of malfeasance and mismangement.

FrumForum has done an exhaustive investigation of the charity in question, Freedom Alliance, and found enough evidence to substantially rebut each of Schlussel’s claims. I’ll approach them one by one.

http://www.frumforum.com/hannitized-is-sanitized

And it goes on to do just that. But it’s very long, so you can click there yourselves.

So as far as the claim that “it hasn’t been refuted.” Yeah… it has.

And Hannity charged millions of dollars in private planes and other travel to the Freedom Concerts, contrary to his lies.

In reading the original post, you’ll notice that most of Schlussel’s “facts” and “evidence” come from unnamed “sources” on the “inside.” I don’t know about you… but those “anonymous sources” don’t inspire a lot of confidence in me.

Facts are stubborn things, but I’mNotBlue chooses to make up stories when the actual facts don’t fit his truth.

Yeah… not sure what stories you’re talking about. So far, I’ve used actual people to refute your claims. And I’ve got one more coming…

In fact, because of my work, Charity Navigator cut its rating of the scamming Hannity charity in half.

Not sure why you would be proud of this. If your goal is to shut down this charity, I sure do hope you have something to replace it. Perhaps the percentage going to the soldiers IS too low… but at the same time, shutting down the charity would mean NONE of that money goes to the soldiers. I’d think you’d want them to change their ways, not shut down. This does, however, point to the final point… which is Schussel’s view of Hannity…

According to MULTIPLE SOURCES, Ms. Schlussel has a notorious habit for attacking fellow commentators, whom she thinks are “stealing her material.”

Michelle Malkin wrote up a piece about this whole deal (chock full of more evidence against Schussel’s claims), ending it with this:

Indeed, I’ve known her [Schussel] a long time, linked her work and praised her reporting over the years, and once made the mistake of sympathizing with one of her old gripes about Sean. She has accused me (and everyone else on the planet) of stealing her work, hating Jews, and being less intelligent, less brave, and less successful than she is. Some very vindictive people will never be happy and have made it their life’s mission to drag the world down with them. It is very, very sad.

http://michellemalkin.com/2010/03/19/in-defense-of-the-freedom-alliance-and-sean-hannity/

Over at Bucks Right, they write it up this way:

Schlussel thinks Hannity uses her ideas without crediting her, or something. I think I remember reading that she was bumped for time from Hannity and Colmes back in the day and has held a grudge since then. I don’t know, really, except that she has been going after Hannity with myopic relentlessness for at least four years.

… Whether or not there are problems with the charity – and at this point it’s pretty clear there are not – Hannity has nothing to do with how the charity is run or what they do with their money. His role seems to be promotion and bringing star power to the concert series, as well as donating an ass load of his personal money, all of which he does in spades.

True to form, Schlussel blames the entire backlash on right-wing anti-Semitism in an update to her original post, which she stands behind. She has also posted a comment on Tabin’s AmSpec apology defending her indefensible smear and at the FrumForum debunking of her smear.

http://www.bucksright.com/schlussel-humiliates-self-with-baseless-hannity-smear-5409

And for those who still don’t agree… it only takes a quick stop over to her website, and a search for “Hannity” before you recognize a pattern. Article after article… month after month… attacking and attacking.

But perhaps you should hear what she had to say herself:

As one of the many former friends of Sean Hannity, I know well how he treats his friends. Hint: It’s not much better than his enemies. As readers know, he’s repeatedly read word-for-word from this site and my New York Post columns–without credit to me–on stories I’ve broken, from Imam Husham Al-Husainy’s extremism and Hezbollah support to the Muslim foot baths at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. He admitted he stole from me and promised to give me credit, but predictably never delivered. The guy is a rip-off artist and a hack with zero insight. Period. It took the mensch, Michael Reagan, to give me credit for my work on one of Sean Hannity’s shows.

In short… Schlessel doesn’t much care for Hannity… and as I said, of her opinions and “reports”:
…I’m not prepared to take Schlussel’s word for it, especially when her agenda is so very clearly [anti-Hannity].

So let’s quickly go over what we already know about Ms. Schlussel. According to her Wiki page, she a far-right writer who often writes about the common right-wing issues.

I’mNotBlue: Very nice takedown!

And didja notice that while Ms. “facts are stubborn things” defended her hair-on-fire overreaction to Laura Ingraham’s belief that bears don’t adapt well to cabins being built where their habitat used to be (and threw in some juicy gossip to boot), she didn’t bother to refute the fact that she falsely accused a totally innocent Korean student of being the Virginia Tech shooter in a desperate attempt to link him to jihadists?

As for YOU, Ms. Schussel, two things:

1. You insist anew that

Ingraham’s sentiments are exactly those of PETA and ALF, despite what LNS claims above.

So what you’re saying that, for example, this paragraph from Ingraham’s column:

In New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming, people are complaining that hungry bears in search of a pre-hibernation feast are marauding through their neighborhoods (which of course used to be bear neighborhoods). And in Irwin, Pa., a “pet” Burmese python strangled an 8-year-old girl to death. It is not known whether the child’s horrific death will cause her family to give up its other exotic snakes …

… is somehow CLOSE to being the equivalent of this from PETA:

Do you have a puppy you take for walks or play ball with? Or a kitty who likes to chase string? How would you feel if someone took away your kitty or puppy, stomped on their head and ripped the skin off their bodies? One of those terrible people is your mommy. Your mommy kills animals!

Or this from an ELF – linked group:

* We have spent 15 months researching you, and we know every weakness you have.
* You have people within your ranks acting against you.
* You cannot build the South Parks Lab without incurring massive losses.
* We are stronger than you, we have more resolve than you and we never give up!
* If we have to destroy every bit of property you own we will, in order to stop you inflicting your profit driven cruelties on defenceless creatures.
* You cannot stop us, we are free to attack you at will, whenever and wherever we choose!

Or this from an ALF supporter:

Dr. Jerry Vlasak is a physician with an odd interpretation of the Hippocratic Oath’s dictum that doctors should “do no harm.” As a representative of the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), Vlasak told the “Animal Rights 2003” convention that he would endorse the murder of physicians whose research work requires the use of lab rats and other animals.

“I don’t think you’d have to kill — assassinate — too many vivisectors,” Vlasak said, “before you would see a marked decrease in the amount of vivisection going on. And I think for 5 lives, 10 lives, 15 human lives, we could save a million, 2 million, 10 million non-human lives.” When one woman in the audience disagreed, saying that Vlasak’s approach was no different from that of abortion-clinic bombers, Vlasak was undeterred. “Absolutely,” he countered. “I think they had a great strategy going.”

If you truly believe that Laura Ingraham is as bad as those examples, than you have a severe problem with blowing things way out of proportion, which is further evidenced by your high opinion of your substandard work.

2. Feel free to explain how you DIDN’T complicate the life an innocent Korean guy minding his own business by accusing him of being a spree-killer half a world away, and why nobody needs to consider that when evaluating your credibility.

Check out what Anthony Gregory has to say on Obama’s failure to stand up for freedom in America:

If you are pro-freedom and anti-statist, it’s a terrific, must-read column.

P.S. – Today is April 19th, anniversary of the federal government’s massacre of over 80 men, women and children in Waco, Texas, by pumping tear gas into their communal home and the lighting it on fire so that they were burned alive. May it never be forgotten!

If you haven’t heard the real story of what happened there, the film “Waco: The Rules Of Engagement” does an excellent job documenting it.

SEAN VANNITY HAS ONLY ONE THING ON HIS MIND (WELL BESIDES BEING RUSH’S NUMBER 1 FRIEND ON MY SPACE) -HATING ON OBAMA .

Starchild: Waco: The Rules of Engagement is on Google Video in its entirety in two parts. EVERYONE should watch it, especially the people who criticized the Bush Admin for using sleep deprovation methods on Guantanamo interrogations. It’s terribly graphic in the later parts, but no more so than an especially weird episode of CSI. You will never look at Charles Schumer or listen to Nancy Sinatra in the same way ever again.

Oh, and for those who figure that if it is sympathetic to the civil rights of David Koresh and the Branch Davidians that it must be some Prison Planet wackjob film, you’re wrong. Conservative-hating Roger Ebert & and his late partner Gene Siskel gave it “Two Thumbs Way Up,” and it was nominated for the Academy Award for Outstanding Documentary.

I would think Roger Ailes would be more concerned with the appearance of Megyn Kelly on the salacious Howard Stern Show, talking about penis sizes. This Bimbo should NOT have a 2-hour show on Fox. She’s an embarrassment!!

Nothing against the TEA Party mind you. Just that they are being “used” by the Republicans for Political gain. I should have worded it better…

“FOX pulled out because the “Tea Party” is being use by the Republicans to win the next elections.” Is what I meant to say.
