Former Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has signed on as a regular contributor to Fox News Channel.
The former Ohio congressman unsuccessfully ran for president in 2004 and 2008, and recently ended his congressional career. Fox said Wednesday that Kucinich will make his debut in his new role on “The O’Reilly Factor” on Thursday night.
We don’t know about you guys, but we definitely didn’t see this coming. Think adding Kucinich as a regulator contributor will do anything to change Fox News’ pro-Republican reputation?
Master Debaters: On October 6, Daily Show host Jon Stewart will face O’Reilly Factor host Bill O’Reilly in a 90 minute debate — appropriately named “The Rumble In The Air-Conditioned Auditorium” — to raise money for charity. Interested parties will be able to watch “The Rumble” via livestream, though not for free, and half of the event’s proceeds will go to a number of charities chosen by Stewart and O’Reilly. We wholeheartedly recommend clearing your schedule that evening, setting aside $5 for the livestream, and plan to spend 90 minutes glued to your computer screen. After all, “It’s why Al Gore invented the internet.” source
By comparing Common to Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan, he gains a huge upperhand. As far as this debate goes so far, It doesn’t have the zany back-and-forth energy of their prior meetings, but the debate is still pretty rad. That said, they’re not getting to the point where they’re at one another’s throats.
You know I got mad love for you … that’s a rap phrase.Jon Stewart • Dropping a joke about Bill O’Reilly while arguing that Common shouldn’t be defined by his support of Assata Shakur, and that’s a footnote in his career.
It’s not a bigoted statement. I said what I meant to say, that it’s an honest experience. … I have a moment of anxiety, of fear, given what happened on 9/11.NPR news analyst Juan Williams • Defending his comments on Muslims that got him fired from NPR. He made this comment on Fox News today – and he made his earlier comment (that “people who are in Muslim garb” at the airport make him “nervous”) on “The O’Reilly Factor.” NPR has been getting some harsh rebukes from the right about all this, and we’re going to say, they’re deserved to some degree. It’s obvious what he meant – he still has some lingering post-9/11 fears, even if they’re a bit misguided – and we don’t think they were anywhere near as bad as the comments Rick Sanchez made that got him fired. Sure, they were questionable, but how many people share Williams’ opinion on this? If anything, he’s reflecting a view that isn’t uncommon (as proven by the whole “Ground Zero Mosque” drama), even if it is straight-up racial profiling. source (via)
