2/27/06 to 3/4/06

1. Deborah: Once again it's Hollywood bashing time on FOX. Bill O'Reilly and John Gibson had a last minute chance to get their digs in on Friday before the Academy Awards.

2. Ellen: Hannity & Colmes largely ignored the Katrina video and the UAE ports deal last week. But there was plenty of time for Sean Hannity's dictatorial commands to Yale University.

3. Janie: Monday on Dayside, the hosts along with the guests, attempted to minimize the Dubai port deal by stating the mountain lion loose in California presented more of a threat to national security than the port deal with a nation that has ties to 9/11.

4. Judy: As George Bush's job approval ratings chart a path like a ski slope, Fox News' Brit Hume complained that a recent CBS News Poll showing 34 percent of those polled approve of Bush's performance was far off from other surveys because it sampled too many Democrats.

5. Marie Therese: Bill O'Reilly and Col. David Hunt ratcheted up the rhetoric. Col. Hunt argued that it is vital to America's national security that the Geneva Conventions be altered to allow our soldiers to torture captives. http://tinyurl.com/ew22m


6. Chrish: As the gap between "Bush's base" and the working poor widens and the middle class struggles to stay even, Dick Cheney scolds that Americans should be saving more. He represents the contemptuous conservatives in his elite circles who don't understand or care that most just get by, not having their connections and stock portfolios.
