Bill O'Reilly

In a press release this afternoon, National Geographic announced, the final major actor has been signed to round out the cast of Killing Kennedy.  Actor Will Rothhaar will play the volatile former Marine and assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.

Rothhaar is the final of the four major players in the film to be announced.  He joins Rob Lowe (John F. Kennedy), Ginnifer Goodwin (Jacqueline Kennedy) and Michelle Trachtenberg (Marina Oswald).

The upcoming two-hour original factual drama, Killing Kennedy by Scott Free Productions, will premiere on the National Geographic Channel later this year.  It is timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy; it will air in the United States and globally in 171 countries and 38 languages.

According to National Geographic: “Based on the best-selling book by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard, Killing Kennedy begins in 1959, at major turning points for both the future president and his assassin. John F. Kennedy is in Washington, D.C., announcing his presidential candidacy, while Lee Harvey Oswald finds himself in the U.S. embassy in Moscow, renouncing his U.S. citizenship. These two events start both men — one a member of one of the United States’ most wealthy and powerful families, the other a disillusioned former Marine and Marxist — on a cataclysmic track that would alter the course of history. Throughout we see their highs and lows, culminating in not one but two shocking deaths that stunned the nation.”

Bill O’Reilly’s mastery of storytelling artfully woven into his fact based books,  is proving to be a goldmine for the Fox News Anchor. His last book, Killing Lincoln, was a blockbuster best seller and made into a movie as well. 

O’Reilly has already announced he is working on a third “killing book,” this one titled “Killing Jesus.”   National Geographic Channel has already confirmed it is set to adapt this third partnering with the author and Ridley Scott's, Scott Free Productions on its network.

Production on Killing Kennedy begins this week in Richmond, Va.

America voted to expand the nanny state, but who is paying the nanny?

 Last nights elections results didn’t change the balance of power much in Washington.  It is still headed in the direction of runaway spending, expanding entitlements with more and larger government services. Of course, this costs tremendous amounts of money

Bill O’Reilly summed up the election results yesterday:

“There are fifty percent of the voting public who want stuff. They want things. Who is going to give them things? President Obama. He knows it and ran on it. ... Twenty years ago, President Obama would have been roundly defeated by an establishment candidate like Mitt Romney.”

As I wrote in my October 21 piece, the left has capitalized on being the party of the government dependent entitlement society.  This population has been mobilized to vote and has tipped the balance of power. They are immune from the effects of a bad economy the private sector is mired in. Why should they care if taxes are raised? 

The national debt of 16 trillion doesn’t affect them either, future generations will be saddled with this burden.  We ran out of our own money long ago and are now spending our children’s/grandchildren’s money to afford today’s entitlements.

But what is important to this base, is getting stuff today… President Obama and his party have done the best job of promising that. But nothing is free, everything comes with some sort of price tag.  That price is monetary and a loss of freedom from more intrusive big government protecting you from yourself by imposing its policies on you.

 Britain’s Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher said:  “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” 

America had an opportunity yesterday to change that direction, but failed to grasp it when an alternative for fiscal responsibility was offered by the Romney candidacy.

Many Americans will now get what they voted for: A bigger and more intrusive nanny state…paid for by someone else, until they run out of money.

Fox News & the Irish Americans behind it, are an inconvenient truth to the liberal dominated media

Hannity & O'Reilly

 Since television was first introduced to the US, it was immediately seized upon and dominated by three networks, ABC, CBS and NBC.  Television news commentators were invited into every home in America. We knew them as Cronkhite, Rather, Mudd, Couric, Brokaw and dozens of others, all dutifully reading their scripts on our screens. Telling us "all the news we needed to know."

They dominated the information we received, especially when teamed up with the New York Times and CNN. 

But then a great entrepreneur by the name of Murdock noticed the unholy alliance that had gripped control of America’s information media and decided to throw a bombshell into the middle of it. He introduced Fox News to America.

Although not a broadcast channel with the audience that the 3 entrenched networks had, Fox News propelled itself into huge popularity on cable television.  Many say it spearheaded the popularity of cable television. 

All of a sudden viewers, many of whom thought they were being read propaganda by the broadcast channels, were able to hear another side of the story.  The popularity of Fox News grew like wildfire as people flocked to hear the other side of the story, or as Fox likes to say “Fair and Balanced” coverage of the information.

Names with an Irish twist to them like Hannity, O’Reilly, Kelly, Guilfoyle, Crowley & Buchanan give Fox a crew of talented, fearless, journalists,  who don’t back down from a fight.  In fact they live for the political brawls and relish challenging the status quo.

The addition of Fox & internet news sites to the information medium  has caused a revolution in the way news is received and now questioned by the public.  CBS news anchor Dan Rather found this out the hard way when he was caught trying to take down George Bush with a false hit piece just prior to the 2008 presidential election.  As a result Rather lost his job,  CBS suffered a huge black eye and loss of its credibility.

The exposure of Dan Rather’s attempt to sway the Presidential election with false and misleading information has shown how vulnerable the public has been for years of having 3 major news networks all with a liberal bias.   The Fox presence, along with internet news sites have exposed this bias thousands of times as they cover stories the main stream media chooses to ignore.

The inconvenient truth facing the main stream media today,  is that the information they were able to mete out to the American public,  is now available to millions unfiltered through Fox and alternative information sources. The main stream media lost its stranglehold.

Imagine the comfort of the Obama administration, if pugnacious Sean Hannity wasn’t around to inform us how dire the Libyan embassy situation really is, as well as expose the whole Obama Mideast policy disaster? 

Or if Bill O’Reilly wasn’t pointing out that our leader has left Washington leaderless.  While he plays over a hundred rounds of golf we sank into 16 trillion in debt without a budget for 3 years?

If Megan Kelly wasn’t warning us about Obama’s justice department’s involvement in the Fast and Furious gun running scandal?

Or Pat Buchanan’s warning we are losing the battle of civilizations as the Obama administration kow tows to foreign powers, while cutting the legs out from beneath our friends and allies?

Or Kimberly Guilfoyle keeping her cool as left wing nut Leo Terrell, unleashed a tirade of invective as he got caught in her special brand of logic.

Thankfully Fox News is here getting stronger all of the time, countering the dishonesty dished out by the main stream media. Keeping it fair and balanced.
