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.

President Obama has pushed the Constitution, now the Constitution pushes back

The Supreme Court will rule this week whether President Obama's health care bill is constitutional and whether his Justice Department under embattled Eric Holder can stop Arizona from enforcing immigration law.

The administrations prestige is riding on the outcome of these decisions. 

Since the President has touted himself as a constitutional scholar, you would think a positive outcome for him is a foregone conclusion. But most legal experts have said Obamacare is an overreached Frankenstein monster of a law and flawed constitutionally as it forces citizens to purchase private insurance. 

The state of Arizona crafted their own immigration laws after finding the Obama administration was not cooperating with enforcing  federal immigration laws in their state.  Arizona found itself deluged with illegal immigrants and tried to do something about it, they enacted their own laws that mirrored federal laws.  The Obama Justice Department immediately sued them for doing so and now the case is ready to be ruled on.

Just one of these rulings in a session is momentous and there will be grave political consequences for President Obama if he loses.

Obama will take the heat and rightfully so, for devoting his time to ramming an unpopular health care bill down Americas throat, while the economy was melting down.  He will also be criticized for trying to intimidate and bully a state for trying to protect itself from an illegal immigrant invasion by passing a law that basically mirrors federal law. 

But the Obama administration has a third constitutional issue which is about to erupt unless it finds some way to stifle it. 

For the past year and a half the Congressional inquiry into the erupting scandal known as "Fast and Furious," has been hitting a brick wall with Attorney General Holder.  Congress has been looking into the gun running, murders & arming of drug cartels on our border with Mexico.  The Obama administration has only given paltry cooperation with the committee and refused to hand over key evidence which could show who was responsible in the administration and what was at the root cause of the operation.

Due to the Attorney Generals intransigence  and non cooperation with the key watchdog of the people, Congress next week is to hold a full scale vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.  President Obama, apparently in an attempt to protect the incriminating documents from being revealed, has exerted executive privilege to try to circumvent the Congressional investigators right to know.

This week will define if our country is a constitutional republic governed by laws, checks and balances....Or a sort of hybridized monarchy whose constitution can be skirted by a popular President who uses executive orders, regulation and selective enforcement of existing law to achieve his goals.
