The Special Report Blog

I am absolutely outraged about the stunt the White House tried to pull yesterday regarding the press pool! WHAT CAN WE DO TO SUPPORT YOU? I will be calling the White House today as well as my representatives! I'm assuming if they are going to do this every day to FOX... you will be following legal recourse. Am I correct in that assumption? WE LOVE FOX NEWS AND WILL GO TO BAT FOR YOU! THIS WILL NOT STAND WITH YOUR VIEWERS!

I am really pleased that you have started closing Special Report with Brit Hume's traditional phrase,"Fair, Balanced and Unafraid," Brett. It certainly takes on a whole new meaning now that Mr.Obama has begun waging his odd little war with Fox News. Good for you! We love ya, Brett! Keep up the great work. Special Report has always been our family's favorite news show.

James Rosen is a hoot! I love that little smile he has at the end of any report. Great show tonight! Mara; Don't let those Newsweek bullies push you around!

Brett, I,ve been thinking. If the millions of babies that have been aborted in the last 40 years were alive, working and paying taxes the Democrats wouldnt be in the fix they are in now. The liberal left has been the prime motivator for abortion now they want to make an abortion of the whole country. Thier polocies have come back to bite them right in the ass.

I really enjoy The Panel and how it gives good perspective on current events. I place it right up there with the humorous The Grapevine. The two of them are the reasons I always try to catch at least the last half hour of Special Report. Could The Panel be started after The Grapevine to give it more time? It always seems to race through topics and only touch on two each show. The online show proves it can easily handle a bigger chunk on the show.

I was very unimpressed with Mara Liasson's non-defense of Fox News. I'd be interested to look back on her opinion of when Ari Fleischer was heavily criticized when he responded to moveon.org's calling Gen Peraeus a traitor. I'd also like to hear her publicly disavow her Newsweek colleague saying that she should not appear on Fox. Her silence on this issue is deafening. Keep fighting the good fight Brett. The WH trying to silence you is an outrage.

Brett, I'd really like to hear Mara defend Fox a little more, as well as publicly disavow her Newsweek colleague who said she shouldn't appear on Fox. Her silence is deafening. What about the reaction to Ari Fleischer when he said moveon.org should "watch what they say."?

After her performance on the Obama posture toward After her comments of 10-22-09 on the Fox news treatment by Obama, why would you continue to have Mara Liasson as one of your Special Report Panel?

bRETT, cAN WE PLEASE REFER BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION AND QUESTION THE ABUSE OF THE DOCUMENT'S FUNDAMENTAL PREMISES SINCE WW2. THE ABUSE HAS ONLY WORSTENED AND SO HAS THE CHARACTER OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY IN A DIRECTLY PROPORTIONALLY FASHION. ANY ENTITY IS ONLY AS STRONG AS IT'S WEAKEST LINK AND WE SEEM BENT ON MULTIPLYING OUR LEAST WORTHY ELEMENT AND IN FACT WE IGNORE COMPLETELY THE DEVASTATION THEY ARE WREAKING UPON OUR SOCIETY. TO HELL WITH THE NEW DEAL, HELL IS WHERE IT IS TAKING US!

Will the pay czar set the same pay standards for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Maybe we out to limit congressional pay at the publics discretion!

Looking forward to hearing the panels advice/opinions on the unConstitutional pay cuts of business. I understand that the businesses too TARP/ but what about businesses that have a government contract to do business such as building, education etc.Will the pay czar dictate their pay as well. Just a thought of the slippery slope this is heading down. Thanks again for a great show Bret. Say Hi to Charles and thank Mara for showing up. We appreciate all of you and your voice of reason.

I don't think that you have done a story or a panel discussion lately about the fact that the Administration and Congress continue to push health care reform in the face of the majority of voters being opposed to it (Rasmussen has 42% supporting and 54% opposed; other polls have shown Dems solidly supporting it, Reps overwhelmingly opposed and Independents opposed, but not as strongly as Reps). Past legislation of this magnitude has had solid support of the country & Congress.

Good that you (FNC) are using "CuteBeetle" more. He's been a talent wasted for too long!

I loved Brian Wilson's piece yesterday - always up for a chuckle. I, too, thought Mort was off on the medicare issue on yesterday's panel, but frankly, I tend to expect that form Mort these days, so I don't let it bother me. At the very least, it promotes lively discussion. ;) Missed Charles, so looking forward to tonight's panel - and I don't care what Newsweek says, we love Mara! It's seems par for the course that a Liberal outlet would bash a smart Conservative woman...
