Food for thought, Bannon:
One of the biggest problems in this country is the hyper-partisanship of too many writers refusing to see ANY fault on their side.
These same writers have zero compunction about blatantly lying in their columns and interviews, all the while chortling that they have gotten in another dig at the opposition.
This sort of behavior is unfortunately self-perpetuating and self-breeding, and out of it comes the gridlock that we now see in Washington.
It is both intellectually corrupt and childish at the same time.
And you, Brad, are one of it biggest proponents.
Grow up sometime, will ya?

1.Braaaad says “Fox News says that pepper spray is a "food product”. Well it is derived from a very hot pepper. Is a natural product. Unlike man made gas sprays. Some eat these very hot peppers. Statement is true.
2. I understand this year obama will pardon HIMSELF. For Fast & Furious rifle killing boarder guard, wanting to lie to Freedom of Information request, and questionable government loans to alternative energy company that went bust with friend of President connections. Just mentioning the recent possible pardon problems.
3. Barry's idea of training is signing up for food stamps. Not grow up to be like Bill Gates but to take Bill Gate's money as owed to poor. Barry wants a welfare State.
4. “Former Sen. Rick Sanctorum believes economic suffering is good for Americans”
Braaad and his one line quote. Do you fear giving quotes in context thus quote might be meaningful ? Cheap shot Braaaad. Bill Gates was in 99 % and bad times motivated Bill and Bill invented a new universe. Maybe secure with his welfare he never would have become a muliti $$$ billionaire and created all those jobs.
5. “Now that the uber deficit committee is out of business, let's try something really useful like starting a super committee on job creation"
barry had job bill. Failed. Reid voted against.
Braaaad how many of the 23 passed House bills are job bills ? How many of the 23 bills are sitting in Reid's office covered in dust ? Normally Senate would look at and either vote on or change those 23 bills.
6. “Press reports Monday featured a new study by Fairleigh Dickinson University which shows that Fox News viewers know less about current affairs than everybody else. And this is news?”
Well Braaaad, I can TEAR APART your article and I watch Fox. Pick a subject and I am there. I do it to liberal commenter that don't watch Fox. You can add all the news on cable to TRY AND MATCH the audience of Fox in prime time. Fox is filling a need that the others DON'T that this poll does not evaluate. Key to understanding might be FAIR AND BALANCED.
Note: I skipped your Herman Cain tidbit comment. You are grasping for cheap shots. Was Hillary Clinton who said somthing to effect you want obama answering the emergency call early in the morning. I remember the curcumstance for Rose Garden beer party. obama jumps to conclusion defending ANOTHER FRIEND. I want our best men gurarding our BUTTON FROM OBAMA...

Yawn. I disappeared from USNWR for a few months, only to come back to this. Still blindly partisan commentators.
Things aren't ALWAYS the GOP's fault, anymore than it's ALWAYS the Democrat's fault, and if you think otherwise, then you're part of the problem.
But I suppose pettiness is a currency these days, and Brad - you must be rich.
