| Former Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is joining Fox News Channel as a regular contributor, the channel announced Wednesday. Kucinich, the liberal firebrand and former two-time presidential candidate, will make his first appearance on the channel on Thursday night during "The O´Reilly Factor," according to The Associated Press. "Through 16 years in Congress and two presidential campaigns, Fox News has always provided me with an opportunity to share my perspective with its enormous viewership," Kucinich said in a statement. "I look forward to a continuation of our relationship this time as a Fox News contributor."

Un.be.lievable! Roger Ailes praised the lunatic Kucinich?? Nothing like destroying the network. They´re heading in that direction. Mr. Ailes must be suffering from mental affliction.

If this is what Fox thinks balanced news should be, well they have pulled a fast one and gotten away with it. Fox only has "conservitative" commentators on their programming to pull in the sheeple

Fox used to be on almost 24/7 in my house. I saw the whole 9/11 drama live, because I was watching Fox before 6 in the morning, Cali-time.
Now...not so much. I have a suspicion that their ratings are holding because we high-info viewers who are tuning out are being replaced by...well, you know who. The great unwashed dumbasses who gave us 8 years of Obama.

Fox News Sunday has devolved into just a bit better than the others. So, quit that. I used to like Greta but her show isn´t fresh at all anymore. The Five´s comedy routines and puffing/advertising each other´s projects and books is now unwatchable. So, now it´s FBN. Varney, Neil and yes, #4, Lou Dobbs all get into subjects more deeply. I too think FNCs ratings are increasingly more liberals. I just know too many conservatives who never watch FNC anymore.

Here in NE OH, we celebrated when Dennis Kookcinich lost in the primary. We thought we had seen the last of him. I guess I still won´t be seeing him, because I won´t watch. FOX would improve its rating greatly if they went hard, hard RIGHT!

Haven´t watched Fox News since we got rid of Directv. Seems as the other stations move Left, Fox follows. That makes since though since the GOP is moving Left, right with them. I hear more and more Conservatives are not watching Fox so I guess that means more and more on the Left are.

I can imagine the jokes from Greg Gutfeld. At least Dana can now just share in the ribbing.
I´ve never been a big fan of the "fair and balanced" thing at FNC. My blood pressure is already high enough.
I´ve finally dumped Dish in favor of Roku. Available FNC clips, a few full shows, and FoxNews.com/live are enough for my viewing needs. (Actually, I prefer some of the shows on FNcom-live to some on the cable broadcasts - less "ïnterference" by time-constrained producers and more in-depth.) With similar streaming devices becoming available, it´s time for some serious conservative competition via that medium. GBTV is only a start. Time for PJTV, FreedomWorks, TPN, and others to provide quality apps to stream on these devices. Perhaps a new streaming "network" in the spirit of Hulu to bundle these at a reasonable price.

Actually a great move. Nothing is going to show the true looney tune character of progressive/socialists than folks seeing one in the flesh such as this bozo. They are ther own worst enemies whenever they open their mouths and Kucinich is probably one of the best examples of the obsurdity of the progressive/socialist ideology.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary….

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
