WATCH: Why You Aren’t Seeing Karl Rove And Dick Morris On Fox News

December 5th, 2012 6:54 pm @LOLGOP


The sallow faces of Karl Rove and Dick Morris appeared constantly on Fox News during the 2012 campaign. But since Karl Rove showed up on the channel to give his explanation of why Mitt Romney lost, he’s basically disappeared. The world’s worst political pundit, Dick Morris — whose impeccable record of being wrong was well established before 2012 — is also persona non grata on the GOP’s Pravda.

This isn’t an accident, but a directive from the top, according to New York Magazine‘s Gabriel Sherman.

Why? It could be shame, but it’s more likely that Fox News’ chief Roger Ailes is protecting the little credibility that remains at the nation’s most popular news channel. Months of convincing Republicans that Mitt Romney was going to win has been followed by the now infamous treatment of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tom Ricks after his on-air critique of Fox, and a bombshell story from Bob Woodward that Ailes asked General David Petraeus to run for president as a Republican.

The Media Matters clip above shows that in a YouTube world, there is some accountability attached to constantly misinforming viewers. Unfortunately, Rove and Morris are just two of the worst culprits. Turn on Fox News right now and you’ll see why the channel’s viewers are nearly as uninformed as its hosts.

    Wow. Karl and Dick both gone from the airwaves. Dick Armey resigned from the organization he pretty much started. Could this be the end of Rove’s 1000 year Reich?

        All’s not bad, it was a learning experence for the Koch Brothers. They found out they can’t buy the presidency. Good lesson to learn IMO.

  • billbear1961

    Well, it CERTAINLY cannot be because they are crooked FOOLS.

    Jesus, if THAT were the criterion, the pool of contributors to FOX would be BONE-DRY.

    Filthy, outrageous, democracy-hating, 24-hour-a-day PROPAGANDISTS!

    Where in CHRIST’S NAME is the FCC??

    Does it do ANYTHING, anymore, except protect Aunt Mildred from NAUGHTY WORDS??

  • nobsartist

    You must be concerned if you are a “news” network and your biggest competition is comedy central.

    • billbear1961

      Unfortunately, if Americans want news and thoughtful analysis, they have little choice EXCEPT to turn to Comedy Central!

      Thank GOD for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert!

      With their comedy routines, they make it clear that the GOP and their supporters are no longer a decent, respectable alternative to ANYTHING.

      • Landsende

        Billbear
        So true. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert point out the lies and hypocrisy of Faux News, Rush Limpdick, Beck, Coulter and all the other hate mongers on the right by using humor. They make it so easy to make them look foolish.

      • Michael Kollmorgen

        Actually, I prefer foreign news sources. BBC, Alzeria are both good sources.

        There are a lot of other good news sources too on Short Wave. Heck, even Radio Havanna Cuba has some value.

        It’s a shame though ya got to listen to a foreign news source to get the real scoop on our Politics.

        • billbear1961

          I’ve lived with my partner—now my husband—in Canada since 1987, and we both prefer the CBC, especially Radio-Canada (the French-language CBC), to anything in the States, even for news about the U.S.

          But when we turn to U.S. sources, aside from the NY Times, we trust Stewart and Colbert.

          We trust them to expose and skewer the unbelievably mad, bigoted and corrupt LIARS on the American right.

          It was a sad day when the Fairness Doctrine was incinerated in the U.S.

          The nonstop, and often unchallenged, corporate-fascist propaganda unleashed by that move has done ENORMOUS HARM to the Republic, and yanked American discourse alarmingly rightwards over the years, towards the irrational–and rabidly delusional.

          Watching the U.S., our greatest fears are focused on the crooked judges Big Money—through its GOP lackeys—has had placed everywhere on the courts!

          Citizens United is an absolute DISGRACE, and the Fascist Five who have imposed it on the country are TRAITORS, guilty of violating their judicial oath of office and the Constitution they swore to protect and uphold.

          Most in the media have become little more than corporate mouthpieces.

          Surely, the average PROSTITUTE has a stronger code of ethics.

          The only true hope for the country lies with the progressive, social democratic wing of the Democratic Party.

          No one better exemplifies that hope than Senator-elect ELIZABETH WARREN.

          • Michael Kollmorgen

            I think you are 100% correct.

            Also, if things don’t start to improve here Politically, Canada is going to see a dramatic influx of american “refugees”, now wanting to become Canadian citizens, sooner or later, probably sooner who just got disgusted with the system.

            If I could have tolerated the cold weather up there better, I’d of been a Canadian Citizen long ago. I seriously thought about it 30 years ago.

            I don’t know how Canada manages to tolerate the US.

          • billbear1961

            We tolerate the U.S. because there are many good Americans, like you, who want what’s decent and fair, for America—and the world!

            (And because you’re our biggest trading partner!) ;-)

            Happy Holidays, MK!

          • Michael Kollmorgen

            I’ve noticed over many years how the american dollar and the Canadian dollar flop back and forth, value wise.

            Some people here say how bad your country is, nearly socialized medicine, etc, etc, etc.

            Funny thing is though, your county now is beating the snot out of america economically.

            These nay-sayers down here never did know what they were talking about.

            You’re a great country. I wish our country would adopt your government style and go totally parliamentary.

            I think we’d have a lot less problems – at least politically speaking.

        • lana ward

    • lana ward

  • Michael Kollmorgen

    I wish people would get one thing clear in their minds;

    Fox News is not a reputable News Source. They are classified as an Entertainment Channel.

    Also, all these right-wing Clear Channel Radio Stations, AM & FM alike are not news sources, but Entertainment Channels. All of these talk show hosts, people like Rush are not news reporters, but news and issue Propagandist.

    That’s why these radio programs break away once an hour to broadcast the real news usually from a source like CBS, ABC or even AP.

      I see FOX about as entertaining as I see a kids freak show as being entertaining! I honestly believe if our military ever over-runs a talaban recruiting and training post they wil find recordings and videos of FOX talk show hosts being used to recruit terrorists; FOX gives the impression our nation is poorly governed and we would welcome the over-throw of our governmenet.

    • http://www.facebook.com/lee.fortier.9 Lee Fortier

      It’s precisely because of these “sources” of information that such a large part of American society is so “under-informed” and so susceptible to right wing propaganda and dogma. This explains why people vote against the best interests of the nation and more importantly fail to think for themselves. No wonder the middle class has declined.

      • bruskis1

        Not only do people fail to vote for the best interest of the nation, but they fail to vote for there own best interest. I cannot tell you how many people complain to me, about the 50%of Americans getting a free ride, who have friend, relatives, or even themselves have recently been helped by a Govt agency. When I point that out to them, they explain, “I don’t mean people like me or my mom, or my brother, but THOSE PEOPLE, that take advantage of the system”. I cringe at the bigotry in there statements, and the complete lack of knowledge about what there party want to do to there own way of life…when we these people wake up and realize that they are voting themselves out of SS, Medicare, and any other type of Govt program that their party thinks is a entiltement? These people are lower middle class at best, upper poor, and they are voting to end there own govt help??????? Someone please explain it to me, because I am so confused….

        • notafoxfan

          bruskis1..i agree with your feelings,but human nature being what it is,often seemingly intelligent people are easily led or convinced..remember the aesops fable about the dog who had a large bone and walked across a bridge,then upon seeing his reflection in the water thought that dog had a bigger, better bone and he wanted it,so he opened his mouth to grab it and the one he had dropped in the water, leaving him with nothing..??thats the way a lot of people are..they cry foul about the u s government (big brother),but gladly will take what is offered to them personally..

        • Michael Kollmorgen

          Wait and see what “might” happen.

          IF they do cut SS, medicare, etc. out of the budget, the very first people who won’t have it anymore will call for a revolution, will be the ones that supported gutting them out of the budget in the first place.

          That’s what happens when you are a lower middle class white trash republican. They’d rather have their guns over food, a decent job, education or services to support your health.

          Goes to show just how effective Brainwashing really is. And, Republicans are experts at it.

        • jgsoliveira

          That used to confuse me. Now I know many are brainwashed.

  • http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

    The reason we are not seeing people like Karl Rove on FOX or anywhere else is because he is busy trying to convince the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson and other wealthy GOP donors that the millions of dollars they gave him were well spent. Not an easy thing to do considering the results of the 11/6/12 election.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_5LCXMWHFPRMEYD4RWN56QE2FF4 Grunge45

      All that $$$ was well spent. Just couldn’t buy everything, that’s all. Besides, a million $$$ is only one tenth of 1% , or 10 million $$$ is only 1% of just one billion.

    Karl Rove and Morris lied too much. If they could be at Fox News by now, their business could have gone down rapidly. Any one who has brains can not take those lies anymore. It was really disgusting. One more left (Sean Hannity). The man uses his mouth like a needle.

  • jarheadgene

    When I was working the GOTV Get Out The Vote phones for the local Obama campaign, The numbers, of those that actually answered the phone, who were in favor of Obama was staggering. So I was finding it hard to believe the FOX and Rassmusen Polls. And when FOX and Romney and Rove were all saying Obama did not have PA in the bag, and PA was going to surprise the DEMS, I was in awe….and I know the campaign got a little worried, so in the last couple of days Clinton came through here to shore up votes. Turns out there was no real need. Now some law makers (GOP) are looking to change our electorate rules, if they were in place for 2012, the President would have only gotten about 12 out of the 20 he did get. It seems you can be a MORONIC MURDOCH MEAT PUPPET like Hannity or ORielly or Coulter and keep a multimillon $$ job. OOOORRRR you can go way out on a limb and lie to yourself and everybody else like ROVE and MORRIS, end up looking like a Total FOOL, which they are. OOOORRR you can be like BRUCE BARTLETT and start telling the TRUTH (something FOX doesn’t deal well with). Of the three options the last two will get you dumped off of FOX. Wake up conservatives….FOX IS a LIAR !!!!!

    Fox is opinion news, and both Rove and Morris were so off base that even Alies can’t save them. Here is the good news. With every lie and story they made up about Obama, he still won.This shows the declining influence of Fox. The problem for them is they are trying to sell damaged goods, and brands that went out of date. White people in their 50-80′s Watch fox and listen to Rush. Rove the ass kisser of the wealthy, had nothing else to say. He struck out in the last inning and the last at bat. Morris was in an alternate reality. What else can Fox say about Obama? They are on a loosing slide now. The demographics are against them. It should be intresting

    Is it true that the Koch brothers threw a fund raiser barbecue after the election to help recoup their humiliating loses? I heard that the main meat course was rack of Rove and the side dishes included macaroni and Morse. Those two porkers could have fed a LOT of angry Repugnicans.

    When Dick Morris was suggesting that Romney would win Pennsylvania, the exact hour, it was possible to get EIGHT to ONE (8-1) if you wanted to back Romney to win Penn on one of the on-line betting sites.. Michigan was 10-1, Wisconsin and Minnesota were both 11-1. And of course Obama was a huge favorite, as he was during the entire election process. http://www.oddschecker listed all the odds for those betting on the internet. They listed the odds for about 20 different on-line betting sites. It was amazing that nobody would mention this. Poll takers can be wrong, or biased, and if they are wrong, they just take another poll. If bookmakers are wrong, they don’t eat.

    Just after the election they listed odds for the new Secretary of State. Kerry was favorite at about 3.5 to one. At the end of the scale they had Sarah Palin listed at 200-1 and Clint Eastwood at 500-1)

I feel their pain, but, even sadder is that their egos do not permit them one scintilla of chagrin. This is the first election I remember where those who lost really think they won. Notice how they will plumment further down the perennian tubes when then, once again, block Obama’s agenda for returning the Shrub tax cuts (obscene to the max when they were put forth) to ONLY 98% of Americans.
