Kirsten Powers on Fox News earlier today blasting the media for their lack of curiosity in this Benghazi story, saying they should be embarrassed that Univision was the first to ask the president about the security situation on 9/11:

The Spanish language news organizations seem to be the only ones to contain reporters serious enough to actually ask the hard questions. Ramos at Telemundo, and now Univision. Maybe some Hispanic Americans are starting to figure out that to some Democrats they're just another voting block that can be taken in with empty promises. Bush did more to try to fix Immigration than Obama has ever thought about. Maybe these smart Americans are starting to wake up to that fact, and realizing like Mia Love, that they actually are Republicans.

Uh-oh..Kirsten will be getting a 'come to Obama' visit from some thug soon.

As tragic as the Libya attack was, God help us if something more serious happens while BO is CinC. Imagine if we had to depend on him for our defense against a larger scale attack...one on our own soil! Chaos.

Kirsten Powers you silly nitwit. It takes months and sometimes years to get all the facts. You can only report on what you know and Mitt Romney didn't have all the facts. He choose to shot first and aim next. It's on the secret 47%er tapes that he would exploit a foreign crisis to win the presidency. Epic failure.

"Two demonstrable lies"? That's being charitable.

The air is that thick with lies whenever Obama or anybody from his thug-administration open their mouths it's a wonder we can even see them.

I saw this interview and Kirstens comments. I must give her credit for her comments. Normally she is willing to carry Obama's water and sides with the left. But for a change she was right on target. Its nice to see some of the left commentators still have a soul.

I agree! She usually just spouts off the DNC talking points. And I've seen her, twice now, livid and angry about what happened, and the lack of journalistic integrity by swallowing the administration's lies. The first time I had to double check to make sure it was really Kirsten Powers saying this. I'm amazed and impressed. Now if the rest of the "water carriers" would wake up and speak the truth!

If Kirsten, who is a Progressive inside the Washington bubble is starting to see the bias maybe there is hope that many Americans are also waking up to the fact that the MSM has become nothing more than a Progressive Propaganda Machine!

I liked the old way. But then Im like that.

Nothing much going on. Virgina G'man is ok.

Sarah Palin did an interview and people didnt like her hair. HA!

Joe Biden made a gaffe that was "R" rated, leaning towards X.

Ann Romneys plane made an emergency landing and the left were happy about it.

Kristen is getting conservative. Must sense something and starting the path to cross over to the R party much like Dick Morris. I hope she is more right about things than Morris ??

I, for one, would love to see a network that plays it down the middle. The closest I've come to news that actually does seem relatively "fair and balanced" is The WSJ This Morning radio program. Absent a truly balanced network, I'm darn glad that Fox news and especially conservative talk radio exists for no other reason than they are the only places that will air anything that reflects poorly on the regime (e.g. Fast & Furious, the Bengazi fiasco, the $16T national debt, etc.).

Often, when I* watch FOX News, I feel like a market segment these people are selling to. I no longer feel any sincerity as I did when I firt started watching the No Spin Zone and the other old guys.

I believe FOX has just found a conservative format, just "right" enough to barely sustain the interest of conservatives in maintaining their subsciption for one more month, but not enough conservatism to bring any heat from the ruling liberals and progressives--Soros--

I almost believe that FOX News is specifically managed to lull moderate, non-active conservatives into a confortable nap. They keep us just hopeful enough that we do not go into the streets.

FOX will turn us all into lab rats and, when we wake up, take up arms and show ourselves, the cage door wil have already been locked.

By definition, a commercially successful media concern must live in the realm of the establishment. If they were to bash corporate America too much, they would end up with crappy sponsors like food insurance and reusable canning lids. That's why, in the end, it's really up to the people.

I'd like Fox to go back to where they were 4 years ago. AND CNN, wouldnt it be awesome for them to go back to the way they were in the 80's? Just news- less bias and slant.

I think the Muslim World and the fact that this could be U.S. will be enough to scare any Right minded person into having second thoughts..They did not act rational and the fact that the whole MSM made an act of war about Romney is unbelievable at best..then to find out that the first time Obama has ever been asked a hard question besides on Letter men was on Univision pretty much paints an obvious picture of how our media has been totally not present and in the tank for Obama..

You'll notice that when Kirsten speaks the truth she has a glow about her, compared to when she had follow talking points. Almost as if her soul is returning to her.

Toon: The last time I allowed myself to get comfortable when the enemy appeared to be calming down was TET, the Chinese, New Year's holdiday, 1967, near the city of Hue, VietNam

Never ever think that the war could be winding down when the only change you see is the enemy send peace signals or retiring from the battlefield.

The only man or woman on the face of this planet you can trust is the one who has exactly as much, or more, to lose than you do.

I am going through battles of ideology in my own extended family right now, I know I can't trust many whom I normally and naturally would be able to trust. That leaves the Lord and my Christian immediate family as my source of strength.

I feel the anger and intolerance of my American enemies breathing down my neck, I know it's only a matter of time before they lunge. I am steadfast in my faith in Christ, knowing that the world belongs to Him and I am only here to offer myself as He sees fit to use me.

So as of now I give encouragement to those who are depressed, humor to those who are afraid, and compassion to those who are angry, and truth to those who can not see.

I appreciate your friendship, yours have always been comforting words in any situation. I hope this family we have here will last a long time.

Toon: I'm not getting on you, you are just someone I trust so I speak frankly. I treasure your participation and your hoonest assesment.

The world is not going to return to the way it was before July 4, 2008.

Truth is the lie and lies are now the Truth.

As the election approaches, so does the end of life as we have known it. You have know some discomfort, some uneasy feeling about the way government is going over the last two score months but there are instances of hope and even delight that seem to wipe away the fear and doubt, if only for a day or two. Then the uneasiness returns.

Trust the uneasiness because that is our future. My wife just said to me, "Everyone wants to read Nostradamus and believe in him but the real prophecies are in the Bible. There will be wars and rumors of wars and...." etc.

I said I don't think there is as much Bible prophecy one must accept as there are observations of society and the nature of men the Bible authors recorded in their own times and neither society nor man's nature has changed.

Oh no. I hope you don't think I was taken in by her cute smile and sweet voice?

au contraire.

I have seen how Kirsten and other libs act for far too long to think that she is changed. There is glow about unvarnished truth though, even from a lib.

I'm surprised Kirsten went off like this. There was no need to listen to an alternate view after that tirade. Good for her for being honest about the mainstream media.

Seems like Kirsten Powers is on her way to conversion to conservatism. I don't think she is positioning. I've seen her many times over the year and it appears to me the vial is being lifted before her.

We'll see....

I've always thought she was a reasonable liberal. I don't like their views but as long as they are reasonable I'll be good. Thanks for having intellectual honesty.

Kirsten is also an Alaskan like Sarah and I noticed Sarah has actually been re-tweeting some of her tweets. I think it's time for Powers to break with the Loser Libs and just come on over to our side :)
