Well, let me clarify that title. They’re certainly loudmouths who rant and rave daily about our President and how he’s supposedly turning the U.S. into a socialist country. They’re always shooting off at the mouth about not raising taxes to protect the wealthiest and how the liberals are after their guns.

However, what I’m referring to is their silence about News Corporation. Why aren’t they saying anything? After all, this is a monster of a media organization who admittedly crossed the line and violated the law in a European country and is currently under investigation by the F.B.I. for perhaps having utilized the same corrupt, deceptive, and intrusive tactics to obtain “private” information for use use on their right wing media networks here in the United States.

Do the Republicans hate European countries that much, that they’re okay with illegalities perpetuated in the lives of Europeans that could very well have spilled over across the pond, and are they willing to be complicit by and through their silence? Where is the outrage? Now we know News Corp., FOX News’ daddy, was in bed with the police and many government officials. Aren’t Republicans all about telling government to stay out of their lives?

It’s obvious that News Corp. owns News of the World, and if the tabloid’s modus operandi was get the story at whatever cost, even if it includes hacking into a dead teenagers telephone, then what’s to stop that media giant from using those same dirty tactics while running FOX News or the rest of their tabloids here in the United States, like, The New York Post, Wall Street Journal or the Washington Times. The hypocrisy of the right is glaringly transparent. They are outraged over a mother found not guilty of killing her child by a jury of her peers in Florida, and yet they don’t flinch when they hear that a media giant that feeds most of them their daily political fodder is involved in not only hacking a murdered child’s phone, but revealing sensitive information about an innocent child’s illness as in “Gordon Brown’s child”.

The Sun allegedly uncovered details about Brown’s son, Fraser, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, when he was an infant, and wrote exclusive stories about his then-unknown illness.

According to The Guardian, Rebekah Brooks, then the editor of The Sun and currently the head of News International, phoned Brown in October 2006, telling him that her paper knew his son had cystic fibrosis. The paper then published the exclusive details.

The paper later touted its scoop, saying that it was evidence of The Sun having “set the news agenda.”

There are even serious allegations rapidly developing that indicate that family members of the victims of 911 were hacked by the owners of FOX News in order to develop sensational headlines and further material for FOX News pundits. They’ve even paid police officers in London for information, just imagine how many cops they must have bought off here.

So while Rupert Murdoch’s lieutenants fall one by one, Rebekah Brooks, chief executive of News International and former editor of the News of the World and currently an inmate in a London jail, and I suspect soon Murdoch’s son James will join her in his own steel apartment, Murdoch is strolling around in his expensive suits printing apologies in his competitors newspapers and all the meanwhile Republican’s are silent.

I suspect some of that silence comes from holding their breath waiting to see what’s going to happen here in the United States. If Murdoch does a good job of buying off government officials and investigators, and if nothing serious is exposed, the Republicans and in particular their media machine FOX News will explode with coverage on the Murdoch scandal, claiming that they have always maintained a pristine news organization under Roger Ailes, even though we all know that a high ranking employee of his exposed him for coaching her to lie to federal investigators.

Keep in mind that based on existing laws and in particular the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act a U.S. corporation like News Corp cannot bribe foreign officials which includes police officers. We know good and well that Rebekah Brooks did just that, as she openly admitted during a select committee of members of parliament. The legal implications are glaring for News Corp and could very well bring down their operations in the United States. FOX News could also find itself affected under FCC rules for television ownership, as you must be considered of good moral character to hold that license, and that could easily be challenged.

Once again we see the hypocrisy of the Republicans, their politicians, and their corrupt entities. They complain about gays, extra marital affairs, illegal immigration, socialism and corruption to name a few, and all the while their congressmen are sending sexually laced messages to male pages, screwing their nannies and producing illegitimate children, hiring undocumented workers, giving corporate welfare and promoting and entertaining themselves with media outlets that are lopsided and corrupt.

Well, we’ve all seen what has been happening with News Corp. and Rupert Murdoch, I think many of us are loudly wishing that it trickles down to FAUX News. However, Murdoch and his spin machine didn’t get to where they’re at by being weak or easily susceptible to attacks from the left or the government. As a matter of fact, I do believe they own part of the government, at the very least they certainly do have a slew of politicians in their deep hip pocket.

FOX will get dinged, but it won’t be anything serious. However we seem to be watching an attempt to change the old guard, that or some of the new blood is getting more outrageous as to attract attention. Case in question, Eric Bolling who currently hosts “Follow The Money” on FOX.

I’ve noticed Bolling getting more and more outlandish since we caught wind that Beck was leaving. I’m sure he was privy to that information much before we were. In any event it’s clear that Bolling is not only pushing the envelope when it comes to outlandish comments, he is outright lying. I guess no one told him about Media Matters and other fact checking progressive machines that specifically monitor the lying right. Believe me, FOX has plenty of fodder for Media Matters.

As I said Bolling’s an offensive “POL”, plain old liar! Here are some of his gems.

On his show “Follow The Money,” Bolling criticized Obama’s visit with Ali Bongo, the president of Gabon, by saying, “Guess who’s coming to dinner? A dictator. Mr. Obama shares a laugh with one of Africa’s kleptocrats. It’s not the first time he’s had a hoodlum in the hizzouse.”

As he said “hizzouse,” a picture of rapper Common appeared on the screen. Common’s appearance at a White House poetry event drew loud complaints from conservatives.

Later, Bolling made similar comments. “What’s with all the hoods in the hizzy?” he asked, saying that Bongo has been “accused of human rights violations and plundering billions of his country’s dollars.”

Mr. Obama, you’ve decided that chugging a few 40s and rediscovering you’re Irish is more important than a presidential visit to a community trying to figure out what just hit them.

Discussing Obama’s budget proposal, Bolling stated: “How does increasing taxes count as spending cuts in your world, Mr. Obama? Maybe in Kenya, but certainly not here.

” Following the release of Obama’s long-form birth certificate, Bolling claimed that the birth certificate’s “green border” “had to be Photoshopped in.”

Here is what we should do: privatize [TSA]. Fire them all. Let independent companies come in, take it over, and then do this: aggressive profiling, not just behavioral profiling, cultural profiling as well. Get the airways safe again.

The May 11, 2009, edition of Fox Business’ Happy Hour featured a graphic of various politicians pictured around a baseball diamond. When pointing to Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), who is openly gay, Bolling said that Frank was “appropriately positioned … catching, of course.

On the June 2, 2011, edition of Fox & Friends, Bolling said that Commerce Secretary nominee John Bryson “is so pro-green” that “you could almost call him an eco-terrorist.

Following the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, Bolling suggested on the May 3, 2010, edition of Fox & Friends that the Obama administration might have “let” the rig leak before “address[ing] it.” On the May 27, 2010, edition of Happy Hour, Bolling again wondered if Obama “let” the rig leak so he “could renege on his promise … to allow some offshore drilling.”

I could go on and on with quotes and instances of this low life’s offensive rhetoric and lies, but let’s get to the video of Bolling demeaning a woman and calling her a kid. I mean if he doesn’t respect one minority, people of color, why should he respect another, women.

The discussion got a bit testy when Bolling referred to his guest as “kid” and she later responded mockingly back to him as “dad.” Yet the most heated moment came when Heldman admitted “Democrats are using a bit of hyperbole” by claiming Social Security checks won’t go out if the debt ceiling isn’t raised. Bolling exploded in response and demonstrated his own hyperbole:

“You just called that hyperbole? Because I call it threatening, fear-mongering, putting a hatchet over a chicken’s head.”

Then Bolling’s biggest and best lie of all. With demagogue and ex White House Spokesperson under Bush’s regime, Dana Perino sitting right smack next to him, Bolling let loose with,

“America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008,” he said. “I don’t remember any attacks on American soil during that period of time.”

Perino throws a fit because Bob Beckel a Democratic strategist and FOX News contributor refers to Bush’s outright lies about WMD’s in Iraq which as we all know misled congress and launched us into a war based on misinformation, which in turn led to our current state of affairs, trillions in debt to a communist country. Hell, our founding fathers must be turning in their graves right about now. Yet, Perino does not say a damn word about Bolling’s great lie.

I’m telling you, this Republican machine called FOX News is tantamount to a terrorist organization with deep pockets cloaked in the American flag.

So is Bolling the new Glenn Beck? Willing to risk his career by spewing offensive racist comments and lies to rise to the top of the pond scum called right wing political television, or as some call it, FOX News?
