Gawker Pretends To Be Relevant By Ambushing O’Reilly’s Ambusher
For the last couple of months Gawker.com has been obsessed with Bill O’Reilly’s ambush interviews.
O’Reilly likes to send one of his producers to confront cowardly public officials and left-wing journalists who refuse to appear on his show when they do outrageous things.
O’Reilly’s chief ambusher is Fox producer Jesse Watters. Watters has confronted all manner of people from judges to bloggers and everyone in between.
The idiots at Gawker decided to strike back at Watters and confront him at his home at 6 a.m. as he was leaving with his wife.
Watters simply smiled and got into his car and drove away. I’m guessing the douchebags at Gawker expected to feel some kind of sweet vindication by ambushing Watters, but the whole thing turned out pretty lame.
Gawker claims to have spent two months trying to ambush Watters, and this pathetic display is all they got out of it.
Next time you read about Gawker laying off some bloggers, it’ll be because they pissed away so much money on stunts like this.
Gawker’s hatred of Fox News and absolute devotion to Barack Obama has led the once semi-entertaining blog to become a gruesome left-wing tabloid.
Lefty Media In Love With Fox’s Shepard Smith
Normally the only thing directed towards Fox News by television media, print media, online media, or any other media are smears and attack pieces.
Recently however, the liberal media has found a Fox News hero and it’s Shepard Smith.
Comments he’s made over the last year or so and as recently as last week have earned him numerous glowing reviews in the NY Times, Esquire, and other liberal venues.
Liberals have love for Smith because some of his comments have been perceived as being antagonistic towards conservatives.
The truth is that Shepard Smith has more credibility in a single strand of his perfectly quaffed hair than Brian Williams has in his entire body.
What the left quickly forgets is that Shepard Smith has a history of incensing people on both sides of the aisle.
Here’s one of my personal favorite Shep clips. It’s from February of last year, and Smith rips into radical leftist kook Naomi Wolf.
Wolf is the author of possibly the craziest left-wing conspiracy book ever written called “The End Of America.”
Hey, what happened? I thought Shepard was a tool of the left? I thought he was all about attacking right-wingers? What the hell is going on in this crazy world?

Whiny NARAL Mouthpiece Blames O’Reilly For Tiller Murder
Today’s Washington Post has a ridiculous hit piece in it from NARAL vice president of communications Mary Alice Carr. She apparently took the brave stance of refusing to appear on “The O’Reilly Factor” to discuss the murder of abortion doctor George Tiller.
Carr shamelessly exploits the tragic death of Dr. Tiller by laying the responsibility for it at O’Reilly’s feet.
O’Reilly is being incredibly disingenuous when he claims that he bears no responsibility for others’ actions in the killing of Dr. George Tiller on Sunday. When you tell an audience of millions over and over again that someone is an executioner, you cannot feign surprise when someone executes that person.
So by this logic if president Bush had been assassinated it would have been Keith Olbermann’s fault. After all, you can’t come on television every night and tell Americans their president is a fascist war criminal who’s spying on them and not expect someone to try and stop him.
Obviously, this is ridiculous logic. To follow this logic would mean commentators couldn’t really talk about anything. Who’s to say what topic might set some nut off? Anything could prompt anyone to violence at anytime.
Carr also makes the false charge that O’Reilly never expressed sympathy or remorse for Tiller’s death. It’s true that O’Reilly never apologized for anything he said (nor should he), but he said on two different nights that the murder of Dr. Tiller was wrong.
He said we are a nation of laws and that kind of vigilante justice is unacceptable — and he’s right.
What Mary Alice Carr is trying to do on behalf of her radical abortion-on-demand cause is intimidate people from being publicly critical of abortion.
Sane Americans of every political stripe know what happened to Dr. Tiller was wrong. It was a case of domestic terrorism pure and simple.
However, most Americans also believe that partial birth abortion is wrong and morally repugnant. Clear thinking Americans on all sides also agree that Tiller was a butcher. He made millions over the course of his career and murdered more than 60,000 babies.
For $5,000 Tiller would perform an abortion for any woman at any point in her pregnancy for any reason.
It was only because of a sympathetic governor and Attorney General in Kansas that Tiller wasn’t sent to prison for performing illegal late-term abortions.
I myself am pro-choice, but what Tiller did was wrong on every level. If it were no big deal then Tiller wouldn’t have been one of only three doctors in the United States willing to do what he did.
Bill O’Reilly had every right to comment on Tiller and let Americans know what the hell was going on in Kansas.
The real outrage is that O’Reilly was the only one in the media with enough guts to talk about it.
I don’t the patience for it, but Tim Graham over at NewsBusters breaks down each lie and mischaracterization in Carr’s column and sets the record straight.

Video: Carrie Prejean Co-Hosts Fox & Friends
Miss California Carrie Prejean made her debut this morning as co-host of Fox & Friends on the Fox News Channel.
She did an amazing job and fit in perfectly on the show. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see Fox boss Roger Ailes offer her a permanent gig somewhere on the channel.
Here’s a snippet:

Media Speculates On Future Of Greta Van Susteren
The liberal media is buzzing today with speculation on the future of Fox News star Greta Van Susteren.
Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Greta Van Susteren make up the most powerful evening lineup on all of cable news.
Greta goes head to head with Anderson Cooper each week night and no matter what CNN’s deceptive ads claim, Greta blows Coop out of the water every night.
As a result, the liberal media like to take swipes at Greta and frequently accuse her of having ulterior motives behind her interviews with Gov. Sarah Palin.
According to the NY Times, Greta’s husband helped Palin setup her political action committee SarahPAC and assisted her in setting up a legal defense fund to pay for the erroneous ethics charges lodged against her.
The truth is that Greta Van Susteren is probably the fairest interviewer and most non-partisan journalist on the air today. Her multi-part interview with Sarah Palin was one the most interesting and enlightening interviews of the year.
Of course, since Greta’s intention was to learn substantive information about the governor rather than trying to destroy her she lost out on the Walter Cronkite Award.
At any rate, the NY Times is speculating that Fox News may not renew Greta’s contract next year.
Ms. Van Susteren’s contract will end next year, if it is not renewed. Megyn Kelly, a morning co-host who is considered a rising star at Fox, is the leading candidate to replace Ms. Van Susteren at 10 p.m., according to three people with knowledge of the deliberations, which were intended to be private.
Like Ms. Van Susteren, Ms. Kelly has a legal background and Washington reporting experience. Mr. Shine said the depiction of Ms. Kelly as Ms. Van Susteren’s replacement was “100 percent inaccurate.”
I know Fox News can be ruthless when it comes to replacing on-air talent, but I just don’t see them letting go of Greta Van Susteren. I cannot imagine them allowing her to get snatched by another network.

Audio: John Gibson Rips Olbermann Over Cheney Attacks
Fox’s John Gibson always has a good comeback for Olbermann’s ridiculous and despicable tirades against all things Bush administration.
Here’s a clip of what Gibson said on his radio program about Olbermann’s latest rant:

Prejean To Guest Host On Fox & Friends
This from U.S. News:
Miss California and Miss USA runner-up, Carrie Prejean, tossed around in the battle over gay marriage, will be a one-day guest host for Fox News Channel’s popular morning show Fox & Friends, Whispers learns. She will host the 6 a.m.-to-7 a.m. slot on May 27, filling in for Gretchen Carlson—the 1989 Miss America—who will be off that day.
This is good news. Carrie would make an excellent addition to the top notch talent at Fox News.
Video: Undercover Liberal Shepard Smith Drops F-Bomb During Rant About “Torture”
Shepard Smith has a habit of dropping little tiny stink bomb every once in a while to let people know he’s a liberal. Take a look at Shepard’s latest left-wing rant, which is his most animated to date and comes complete with full throated F-bomb.
Even though I find Shep’s occasional left-wing diatribes mildly annoying, he’s one of the fairest reporters on TV and deserves credit for that.
