Murdoch and Ailes are still minting it:

"Fox News still had nine out of the top 10 programs. It has spent 11
consecutive years as the top-rated cable news channel. Its 6 a.m. show
drew almost double the ratings of CNN's top-ranking prime time show."

P. T. Barnum was popular to, but that didn't make him any less of a scam
artist.

Barnum didn't bug the hell out of Obama and his cohort.

Ratings have no relation to quality - as witness the popularity of
Jersey Shore and The Bachelor.

Fox tries to cater to the lowest common denominator and rather succeeds.

peace and justice,

What a snob! Half the country is conservative and eight or nine other
networks exclude them. That means a huge inbuilt audience that is far
from your own inferiority-induced superiority. An audience that won't be
overeager to swallow the latest lie from the likes of Martin Bashir and
MSNBC as they do their worst to propogate deceitful crap like editing
and distorting the tape of the Newtown hearing to suit their agenda.

Yup, and that's the other half of the US population. Just look how they
voted 10 weeks ago and awoke all of a sudden to find, contrary to years
filled with many promises never to increase their taxes, their
purchasing power had once again been undercut from them.

More Sheriffs Join "the Resistance"
.
January 30, 2013   AFP
.
Growing numbers of local politicians, lawmen vow to resist any federal
gun ban/confiscation schemes
.
By Pat Shannan
.
The nation is up in arms. Following the announcement by Kentucky
Sheriff Denny Peyman that no federal gun-grabbing statutes would be
recognized and enforced in his county, a number of sheriffs and local
politicians around the country have come forward to show their support
for the Second Amendment.
.
Oregon Sheriff Tim Mueller went public with a letter he had written to
Vice President Joe Biden that went even further.
.
Some of the text stated: "We must not allow, nor shall we tolerate, the
action of criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt
politicians to enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of the
responsible citizens who have broken no laws."
.
Mueller went on to respectfully inform Biden that no such federal
regulations would be honored  in Linn County, Oregon.
.
The Mueller letter motivated Cherokee County, Georgia Sheriff Roger
Garrison to publish a long letter of Second Amendment support in his
local paper wherein he quoted and reiterated the Oregon sheriff's
sentiments.
.
Texas went further. Republican state Representative Steve Toth filed in
the Texas state legislature his newly drafted "Firearms Protection
Act," which would make illegal any federal laws imposed by
presidential order or passed by Congress restricting any type of gun
ownership. His bill calls for the arrest and jailing of any federal
official attempting to enforce these types of statutes in Texas.
Oklahoma legislators followed suit, though they call for politicians to
face five years for gutting the Second Amendment.
.
Thirty out of the 33 sheriffs in New Mexico appeared at Santa Fe's
Capitol offices on January 17 to remind the governor and others that he
and they had sworn an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, which
included the people's right to bear arms.
.
In Burlington, Vermont, outraged citizens packed city hall to contest
the proposed change to the city charter, which would ban semi-automatic
weapons.
.
The Utah Sheriffs Association has written an open letter to President
Barack Obama, outlining its opposition to any executive orders altering
gun laws. “As professional peace officers, we understand this:
Lawful violence must sometimes be employed to deter and stop criminal
violence,†they wrote.
.
The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association has announced
the increased support of nearly 100 sheriffs and is publishing a form
letter for anyone to use to query the local sheriff on whether he
intends to join this movement and if not, then why he does not.

That fewer people will be misinformed is good. That people will think
that Obama is a liberal is bad. Obama is about as lib-er-al as "Dubya".

Kerry: US Planning "New Options" for Move Against Syria's Assad
.
Goal Is to Convince Assad Defeat Is Inevitable
.
by Jason Ditz, February 13, 2013
.
Secretary of State John Kerry says that he and the rest of the State
Department are hard at work developing ?new options? for the Obama
Administration to use in a move against the Assad government in Syria.
.
Kerry says that he expects to have new recommendations when he returns
from his current trip abroad to follow up on President Obama?s State of
the Union pledge to ?keep the pressure? on Assad.
The goal at present for the administration is to convince Assad that
defeat is inevitable in the hopes that he will voluntarily resign
afterwards. The US has been predicting Assad?s imminent fall, but the
Syrian civil war has remained stalemated.
.
State Department officials went on to insist that Kerry would under no
circumstances use his long-standing friendship with Assad to try to
broker a direct meeting, with spokeswoman Victoria Nuland insisting that
Kerry's relationship with Assad was "well before" the current civil war.

Benghazi Attack May Have Been Retaliation for Secret US Raids in Libya
.
Feb 13th, 2013 @ 08:27 am
.
John Glaser
.
According to a new book written by
 former Navy SEAL Jack Murphy and former Army Ranger Brandon
Webb, Obama's counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan was directing
secret raids on militias in Libya which ultimately led to a retaliation
in the form of the Sept. 11 attacks on the Benghazi Consulate that
killed four Americans, including US Ambassador Chris Stevens.
.
Fox News:
"Brennan waged his own unilateral operations in North Africa outside of
the traditional command structure," the book says, calling it an "off
the books" operation not coordinated with Petraeus and the CIA
.
The authors then claim that these raids were a 'contributing factor' in
the militant strike on the U.S. Consulate and CIA annex on Sept. 11.
.
The raids, they said, "kicked the hornets' nest and pissed off the
militia."
.
There has been much controversy over the Benghazi incident, but not
because anyone suspected what this new book, with apparent inside
information, claims.
.
Rather, Congressional Republicans have criticized the Obama
administration for not having enough security at the Consulate and for
not being up front about whether the attack was a protest gone awry or a
premeditated assault.
.
If the claims in the book are true, it is even more damning than
previous accusations. The Republican talking points on the Benghazi
incident were never very compelling to me. But Antiwar.com has indeed
focused on the fact that the Benghazi attack looked and smelled like
blowback, resulting from US interventionism against the Gadhafi regime
in 2011.

Chris Stevens was named 'ambassador' to Libya for his clandestine work

Pepe Escobar claimed that the supposed consulate was actually a CIA
black house in which they ran illegal guns and also mercenary fighters
to places like Syria? and I believe that to be true..

Did anyone notice during all those Congressional "investigations" and
"inquisitions" that very little, if any, of the questions broached the
subject of what was being done in that outpost ? it wasn't part of the
Consulate or Embassy. Almost all the questions were about the
government's response (or lack of) to the attacks but nothing about why
there and not at the Embassy. As stated above there were rumors that the
CIA were running guns (again) but the Senators never went there. Just
wondering.
