Will someone please summarize the video for those of us without speakers?

That’s rich. A FOX hack asking why the country is so divided. Thanks for the laugh.

bobbo, totally caught by surprise says:

Not being a fan of the whitehouse stenography pool, my opinion of Helen Thomas was generally negative-that she didn’t amount to much, a fixture kept around for tradition==but she WOWed me here.

The caption really should read: “Helen Thomas shows the bias of Faux News and highlights the reality of the Republican Party.”

Well done Helen Thomas, would that all the stenographers would follow your lead.

Makes me think of how I formed my initial opinion: Helen Thoms, only covered by the Lame Stream Media when she can be made to look a gadfly.

Rravo Helen Thomas. May you live to see Obama finally perform.

What a sweet old dame. When did FOX hire a commentator with a British accent. And I wonder why.

Dallas says:

Helen did a great job in “Clash of the Titans”. She was the one holding ‘the eye’.

#2 orizzle – That “old bird” is one of the last people left in D.C. who can still remember what politics is actually for. If you had spent any time watching her over the last 40 years, you’d know she is far from a steno. Listen to this video – sorry Ben, no summary can do it justice – and you’ll see a consummate professional honestly speaking with a pack of perfidious amateur hacks- monkeys in suits really.
Tragic.

This is Fox BUSINESS not Fox NEWS. I don’t (think) I get Fox Business so I don’t know anything about it but if you are going to slam the channel at least be right about which channel you are slamming…

bobbo, libertarianism fails when it becomes Dogma says:

Benji–go on Craigslist and get a pair of speakers for $10. The video is worth the effort I think==plus all the good music etc.

In short summary–the host of the show tried to criticize her for being an Obama supporter and anti business and her response was that Obama was not doing enough and that anti-business given what business was doing was the only appropriate response. She deftly parried every idiot biased question that was sent her way and made me proud she supported the “ultra left wing progressive part” of the Dem Party. She was criticized for bringing a political point of view to the white house stenography pool, and she retorted she was an opinion journalist.

Well Done Helen. RESPECT.

#16 v- Crazy? Crazy, Brett, is is living through the meltdown of an invisible and completely unregulated 600 TRILLION dollar derivatives market – and nearly the rest of the global economy with it – and pretending that doing nothing about it is wise.Crazy is demanding “compromise” from your opponent and then not accepting it when it’s offered. Crazy is creating one crisis after another and then blaming everybody else for the results.
Really crazy – as has been pointed out by many – is forgetting or ignoring the past and expecting all new results.(see “madness of crowds” e.g.)

#15 Thank you bobbo. I flagged it for watching on my other computer.
