Chris Hayes’ Attkisson Interview Sums Up MSNBC’s Issues in One Question

Mediaite

 

"This is the tale of two journalists.

 

"One has won multiple Emmy awards going back to the turn of the century, including an investigative series at the end of the Bush 43 years titled, “Bush Administration’s Bait and Switch on TARP and the Bank Bailout.” Another report revealed fraud around multi-billion dollar Halliburton contracts in Iraq, which earned her ample praise from the left. Sharyl Attkisson also was one of the first journalists to fly combat missions over Kosovo.

 

"The other journalist is the former editor of The Nation magazine. He hasn’t won any Emmy awards and invariably finishes a distant third in his 8:00 p.m. MSNBC time slot in a three horse race. Chris Hayes hasn’t flown in any combat missions as a journalist, but was hit by a modest rock covering the Ferguson riots this past August." ...

...

"Hayes interview of Ms. Attkisson "included the host asking his guest if she was angling for a job at Fox News — the only thought that comes mind is the following:

 

"He has some balls asking that question. And no, that’s not meant as a compliment. Hayes questioning someone as decorated and objective as Attkisson if she fabricated an allegation against the government (for hacking her computer) was somehow motivated because she needed to enhance already one of the most — if not the most — extensive resumes in investigative journalism would be like Arsenio Hall asking Johnny Carson if he knew how to effectively interview a guest."

CBS Announces ‘Mentalist’ Return Date

The American Culture

 

"There’s good news for TV mystery fans: CBS-TV has announced that The Mentalist will return for its seventh and final season beginning November 30. In the first week of January the show will switch to Wednesdays at 8:00 EST. The show will wrap up with a two-hour series finale on Feb. 18.

 

"Starring Simon Baker as the title character, a consulting detective working, for five seasons, with the California Bureau of Investigation, and then with the FBI in the most recent season, The Mentalist presented interesting storylines underscored by the protagonist’s tragic past: his wife and daughter were murdered just before the events of the first episode. Baker, however, kept things from becoming too lugubrious, lending the character a good deal of personal charm and times of cheerfulness. That was an excellent decision on the part of the actor and writers.

"Unsure of whether the show would be renewed after season six, the producers resolved the main storylines in the last few episodes of last season, with Baker’s character, Patrick Jane, finally expressing his romantic feelings toward his boss, Special Agent Teresa Lisbon, in the final episode of the season. right before the last couple of episodes aired, CBS announced that the show would return this season.

"With the big, emotional storylines having been settled (while leaving plenty of room for new complications), the show’s creator and executive producer, Bruno Heller, has described the upcoming season as an “encore.” That suggests that the show will be more like TV series used to be: a collection of episodes, each of which largely stands on its own. Now, that would be a real innovation."

Harry Reid’s Desk

Bokbluster

 

"A year ago President Obama said, “If you don’t like a particular policy, if you don’t like a particular president, go out there and argue your position, win an election.”

 

"And so it came to pass.

 

"Now that his party has lost the Senate, Obama says he’s willing to listen to Republican ideas – if they have any. Whether he is or they do remains to be seen. But they have had some ideas in the past. Those ideas were packaged into about 350 House Resolutions and passed on to the Senate where they sit in Harry Reid’s desk.

 

"The way Mitch McConnell sees it Reid protected the president from legislation he didn’t like by not bringing bills to his desk.

 

"The New York Times, in January, called Harry a brute."

Politifact, however, says some of those bills are simply caught up in committee. Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post says it’s not at all unusual for Harry Reid to have 300 bills to be stuffed in his drawers.

Defying Soviets, Then Pulling Hungary to Putin 25 Years After Fall of the Berlin Wall

NY Times  ... "Viktor Orban was 26 then and a longhaired law graduate. In June 1989, five months before the Berlin Wall came down, he lit up a commemoration of the failed 1956 revolt against Moscow with a bold call for free elections and a demand that 80,000 Soviet troops go home.

 

"Now, as the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is commemorated Sunday, Hungary is a member of NATO and the European Union and Mr. Orban is in his third term as prime minister. But what was once a journey that might have embodied the triumph of democratic capitalism has evolved into a much more complex tale of a country and a leader who in the time since have come to question Western values, foment nationalism and look more openly at Russia as a model."...

From Hungary Today, we see that Mr. Obama has had ongoing issues with the nation.

Looks like Obama gives Hungary the same headaches he gives America for some of the same reasons:  PM Orbán: US Weighs Pressure On Hungary
... "Washington weighs great pressure on Hungary due to its objections to the South Stream pipeline and the upgrade of the nuclear power plant in Paks, Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán told at the Hanns Seidel Foundation in Munich. " ...

Our delusional and dangerous president

American Thinker  "Remember when just last year Obama arrogantly said:

“You don’t like a particular policy or a particular president, then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election.”

"Well, now that we won an election (massively, I might add), Obama has a new take on things.  Gee, what a surprise.  Per the Washington Examiner, it goes something like this:

...

"A megalomaniac who hates America is running the country.  And as we know all too well, with no elections left to win, over the coming weeks, months, and, yes, unfortunately, years, he’s going to let ‘er rip.

 

"However politically active we were leading up to Election Day, we need to double our efforts now, because we are entering a very dangerous time as Obama goes off the rails."

Hard of Hearing

 

... "Speaking at a press conference to give his unique, and quite possibly psychotic, perspective on the Republican electoral blowout on Tuesday, Obama said "To everyone who voted, I want you to know that I hear you.

Harry Reid not a worthy Mormon? LDS Church, Dems cry foul

The Salt Lake Tribune

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) takes time in his office in the Capitol to show the Mormon scriptures he keeps in his desk. Sen. Reid keeps extra copies of the Book of Mormon in the same same drawer to give away to guests that visit his office.

"In the aftermath of this week’s elections, an LDS bishop in Los Angeles set off political fireworks by asserting in a blog that Mormon Sen. Harry Reid was not worthy to enter one of the faith’s temples for his support of Democratic Party stances.

"The response to the piece, "Good Riddance to Harry Reid, the Mormon Senate leader," from many Latter-day Saints on social media — and even the Utah-based faith’s public-affairs arm — was immediate and critical.

" 'Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are, of course, entitled to express their own political opinions," spokesman Dale Jones said in a statement. "However, publishing such views while using a title of a church officer, even if only as a leader of a local congregation as in this case, is entirely inappropriate."...

Fact check; Medicare changes at age 76

A False Claim of a Medicare Change   "Perhaps you’ve heard this one about a change in Medicare affecting seniors over 75:

Chain email : Your hospital Medicare admittance has just changed under ObamaCare. You must be admitted by your primary physician in order for Medicare to pay for it! If you are admitted by an emergency room doctor it is treated as outpatient care where hospital costs are not covered.

Q: Does the Affordable Care Act require Medicare beneficiaries over age 75 to be admitted to the hospital by their primary care physician?
A. No. There is no such requirement in the law.

FULL QUESTION   Can this possibly be true?

Subject: MEDICARE AT AGE 76
Hope all of you who count of Medicare to take care of you into your golden years have a back-up plan.
If you don’t read this, and do nothing about it, don’t complain when it affects you or your loved ones!!!!!
This is the second Judge to have read the Obama Care document and made comments. More highlights of Nancy’s “pass it and then find out what’s in the bill”!!!!!!
Show this to everyone nearing the ripe old age of 76. These are just a few of the things that we Seniors are going to have to deal with starting in 2014. Even far left Democrats will not like these.
MEDICARE AT AGE 76, IMPORTANT PLEASE READ – ANYONE WHO DOUBTS THIS IS TRUE CAN DOWNLOAD THE NEW OBAMACARE AND LOOK UP THE PAGES MENTIONED. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING …………………. PLEASE PASS THIS OUTRAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST!!!
THIS should be read by everyone, especially important to those over 75 ……. If you are younger, then it may apply to your parents….
Your hospital Medicare admittance has just changed under Obama Care. You must be admitted by your primary Physician in order for Medicare to pay for it! If you are admitted by an emergency room doctor it is treated as outpatient care where hospital costs are not covered. This is only the tip of the iceberg for Obama Care.

Obama Care Highlighted by Page Number THE CARE BILL HB 3200 JUDGE KITHIL IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL. Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, TX – highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200. Please read this……. especially the reference to pages 58 & 59, JUDGE KITHIL wrote:
** Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.
** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual’s bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – ACORN)
** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)
** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors’ fees.
** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient’s age.
** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.
** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an “end-of-life planning” seminar every five years. (Death counseling..)
** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.
HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on to identify: “Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress.
No wonder they did not see the need to read it….doesn’t apply to them!!! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP TO WASHINGTON …. I don’t know if we can do anything, but awareness helps.
Winds Of Change — Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. At least 20 if you can. It has to stop somewhere.

Snopes on Medicare at Age 76: FALSE  "Origins:   This alarmist warning claims a provision of the Affordable Care Act [ACA] (commonly known as "Obamacare") supposedly requires that a primary care physician must admit patients of age 76 and older to a hospital in order for those

patients' hospital costs to be covered by Medicare. It originally turned up as a piece tacked onto to the widely-circulated — and largely erroneous — "Judge Kithil" criticism of pending health care legislation and now makes the Internet rounds as a separate, stand-alone piece.

Also rated "FALSE" by Snopes:  Claim: "Obamacare" mandates that no one over 75 will be given major medical procedures unless approved by an ethics panel.  ... "No such denial is necessary to debunk this item, however. The simple fact is that, repeated spurious claims to the contrary notwithstanding, no provision of the "Obamacare" health care legislation mandates or authorizes the creation of "ethics panels" to determine which patients should or should not receive various medical treatments, based on their age or any other criteria.

How Obama sold his soul to the devil.

Putting the O in BravO

Jonah Goldberg ... "The producer retorts, “You? Now c’mon baby, don’t get caught up on an ego trip. I mean who cares how you sound? We’re after the sound.”

"If you don’t care about my sound, what do you need me for? Greg asks.

“'Because you fit the suit,” another producer responds.

"Forgive me for committing the error of defining my meaning. But Barack Obama fits the suit.

"In my USA Today column this week, I argued that Barack Obama is indisputably good at one thing: Getting elected president of the United States.

"That’s it. He’s not good at being president of the United States. He’s not good at being the head of his party. He’s not good at diplomacy or public policy or managing large bureaucracies. He has no new ideas. But man did he fit the suit, metaphorically speaking." ...

"... Between such programs as Common Core, Connect All Schools and CSCOPE, CAIR has been ensuring that the textbooks that teach our children go out of their way to teach Islamic history and to have the children indoctrinated into Islam. CAIR has even gotten textbooks in private schools, charter schools and home schooling programs to include their revisionist history."

 

..."Across America, in over 100 schools now, in Social Studies and World History classes, the proselytizing for Islam is being pushed and hard. It does not include the 1,400 year history of Jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural genocide and enslavement, not to mention the extermination of the entire Jewish Banu Qurayza tribe of Arabia, as Pamela Geller puts it. What it does include, and what I find infuriating beyond words, is the Shahada and the Five Pillars of Islam. ..."

A Driver Rams His Car Into Pedestrians In Suspected East Jerusalem Terror Attack

 

"In the postmortems of the terrorist car attacks in Jerusalem, it is easy to see the writing on the wall.

 

"Ibrahim al-Akary, the terrorist who on Wednesday ran over crowds of people waiting to cross the street and catch the Jerusalem Light Rail, was the brother of one of the terrorist murderers freed in exchange for IDF hostage Gilad Schalit. He had placed the photograph on his Facebook page of Moataz Hejazi, the terrorist killed by police after shooting Yehuda Glick outside the Begin Heritage Center last Wednesday.

 

"A few days before Abdur Rahman Slodi got into his car and mowed down three-month-old Chaya Zissel Braun and a dozen other pedestrians two weeks ago, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas exhorted the Palestinians to prevent Jews from visiting the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site, by all means possible.

"Slodi had served time in prison for terrorist offenses and was active on social media where he expressed murderous hatred for Jews and a desire to kill them." Full article

Obama and the definition of “Islamic”
 

Islamic Republic hanging

 

... "Despite the glaring contradiction between divinity and monstrosity, the fact is that IS justifies every single one of its atrocities with verses from the Koran.

"IS referred to its sex slave market in Raqqah for instance as the “Booty Market… for what your right hands possess.”

"The phrase “what your right hands possess” is a Koranic verse (4:3) that permits the sexual enslavement of women and girls by Muslim men.

"Whether it is mainstream Islamic jurisprudence or not to embrace the enslavement of women and girls as concubines is not a question that Obama – or any US leader for that matter – is equipped to answer. And yet, Obama spoke with absolute certainty when he claimed that IS is not Islamic." ...Full article...
