And while you wonder about Atwater's motives for repentence, we know Byrd's repentence was purely for political reasons.
You're wasting our time.
those "special" facts that only a few are privy too.
Dear Ms. Kelly,
I watched your jaw dropping interview with Kirsten Powers. Having attended J-school and worked in the industry for more than 20 years -- you just blatantly violated every tenet of journalistic objectivity with your rude, blatantly biased and contentious treatment of Ms. Powers.
I suggest you move to the "non-news" commentary primetime line-up since you did not moderate a debate between opposing sides of the issue -- you actively debated one side of the issue and directly insulted your "guest" and colleague.
Ms. Powers -- a Fox contributor -- has never been treated so rudely by any one of the commentators in the prime-time line-up. You may be a good attorney but you are not in any way an objective journalist.
I'm embarassed for you.
I'm embarassed for you. You should have paid attention in school.
But I guess your post does show that you agree with the person in the discussion that did not even read the testimony. Pretty typical, facts don't matter, proof doesn't matter, party does matter. It is clearly the ONLY thing that matters to hacks like you.
By the way, simply repeating what others say right back to them is a five year old's level of wit. On the other hand, it IS what classless hacks and liars do. Other than lying and smearing, you have absolutely nothing to say.
You're a brainless twit.
Yeah... that's what I thought.

Lying is, after all, your only talent.
And even then, you keep getting busted for it.
I'm curious though, once again you use quotes , ("knowledgeable", in case you forgot"), but I have looked over my posts and I did not use that word, where did you come up with it? But , yes indeed, Kelly is clearly more knowledgeable than Powers on this issue. By her own admission she did not read the testimony, she just looked at the pictures, it is easier. She is actually just like your other liberal female "journalist" you have recently defended, Mika over at the national Barack channel. When Mika had no answers for Guilani she called daddy's friends at the White House for the reply she should have known but didn't. Similarly when Powers needed some answers she went directly to one of the parties in the dispute, the Obama DOJ , for her answers, and ignored the sworn testimony of eyewitnesses. Great methods you libs employ.
Powers was quite well versed on the case, but was not allowed to speak because she was poking holes in Kelly's scripted comments.
Powers isn't a liberal, fairliberal, she is a Democrat. Two different things. If you read Powers stances on various issues, she is a moderate, like the majority of the people in this country. She wasn't parroting "liberal talking points," she was speaking the truth.
Lord, you are an ignorant twit.
Kelly was doing what O'Reilly does when he is questioned and doesn't know how to respond . . . talk over the other person and attempt to keep the listeners from hearing what is being said.
I wonder how the NYP reporter knew this could happen?
Ha! Ha! Hee, hee.
Megan Baby, you never answered the question..what do you want other than to make your bosses say you've been a good little girl like daddy used to tell you.
Maggie, this is not a murder investigation.
Mags, you have opened yourself up for anyone debating something with you to ask if you know the facts.
MegPie, stick to looking good and smiling for the bosses. And is there a behind the scene conflict concerning these women.
Maybe Megan is fearful that she is on the down side and will end up as BillO's sidekick.
This is very typical pattern for conservatives. Twist the facts around some small story and go ballistic over it for 5 or 6 months until the damage is done. Then walk away from it like it doesn't matter anymore. We've seen it happen before with ACORN, global warming, and now this.

Kelly sounded like a broken record asking the same question again and again when she was faced with real facts. It was like she was waiting for Ailes to give her the next talking point.
Anytime these Fox types get pushed against the wall with real facts, they always resort to cutting the person's mic or telling the person to leave. Hannity told a guy to leave a couple years ago during the election and Glenda did it during an interview with an ACORN guy. I know that I'm missing more examples but it happens a lot.
Interview Part One
Interview Part Two
Interview Part Three (plus interview with Bartle Bull)
I don't feel sorry for Kirsten - she's a Joe Lieberman supporting, evangelical, pro-life so-called Foxnews Democrat, who suddenly, for a few minutes, developed a spine.
I think she'll be gone in 6 months.

You know, someone should slap Megyn, that little c**t.
No one will be allowed to refute the Fox News agenda, which is to use this one, very minor incident for race-baiting and political gain, to portray the Obama administration as favoring blacks--specifically the Black Panthers. It's really, really disgusting.
I commend Powers for keeping her head and her cool.
It is interesting, you see the acorn tapes and apparently think it is a vast right wing group of ventriloquists putting words in their mouths, you see a tape of an armed racist group in front of a voting place and deny there is any evidence, BUT when a black congressman makes a charge of spitting and racial commments without any evidence, him you believe. And this after a $100,000 reward was offered to anyone who could provide proof. No proof was presented, I wonder why.
Ms. Kelly:
I consider your interview this afternoon with Kirsten Powers to be very unprofessional and lacked journalistic standards. Once again, you continue to pursue the role of lawyer with your abrasive tactics used in a courtroom. Understandably, you are employed by Fox and I shouldn't expect anything less than your biased rhetoric and regurgitation of Republican talking points; however, your mannerisms were simply disrespectful. I recently read an online article on "The Daily Beast" comparing or introducing you as the Barbara Walters of Fox News. The correlation is quite laughable and unfounded. Your facade as a stellar journalist is apparent behind your "Fair and Balanced" chyron. I guess you and your colleagues rehearse it so much it is truly embedded in the psyche. But tell me, who are you trying to convince?
