Criminals rejoice … ‘America’s Most Wanted’ Canceled … WHAT A SHAME!
What a shame, Fox has canceled the long running crime TV show, ‘AMERICA’S MOST WANTED’. For years every Saturday night John Walsh and the AMW gang have presented and informed America with the stories of crimes and the faces of people that we should be on the look out for. Sources say that AMW will have specials instead of a weekly show. John Walsh, the victim of crime with the loss of his son Adam Walsh, has hosted the show for its entire 23 year run.
Good news for criminals: Fox is cancelling its long-running crime-stopping series America’s Most Wanted.
The series profiling men and women wanted by law enforcement agencies has been on the air since 1988 and consistently wins its time period. A few years ago it announced the capture of its 1,000th criminal.
When it comes down to it, it’s all about money. It is hard to believe that such a show in this day and age of crime, fugitives, sex predators and dirt bags cannot make a profit. As Hot Air reminds us, this isn’t the first time that Fox wanted to cancel the show. Although there are certain aspects of the show that need to be retooled and made to be made for ‘real time’, the concept is there and I am sure that AMW will find a nwe home maybe on Lifetime or Tru TV. The major networks are too busy running reruns of the Simpsons and reality TV to air such a show on a Saturday night. Although, one would think that FOX News would have room on the weekend as opposed to showing some of the programming they air.
America’s Most Wanted has a good chance of finding a home someplace else. The show averaged 5 million viewers this season and a 1.7 rating in the adult demo — pretty impressive for a Saturday, though that number was down slightly from last year. The main issue with the show wasn’t its popularity, but the cost of production.
We can only hope that America’s Most Wanted’ lands on another network. Shows of this importance and significance need to be on TV. A note to network execs … AMW is real Reality TV.

Mark Steyn Calls Director of National Intelligence James Clapper an Idiot
From the Daily Caller, Mark Steyn calls James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence what every one was thinking … “An Idiot”. During an interview on “America Live with Megyn Kelly,” Mark Steynwas not at a loss for words with regards to James Clapper. The “secular” Muslim Brotherhood … how can such an individual continue to be apart of those that advise a US President in a post 9-11 world and with the turmoil that presently exists in the Middle East? It is unacceptable to US National security. As PJ Media states … “Clapper On, Intelligence off”.
On Friday’s “America Live with Megyn Kelly,” columnist Mark Steyn had some harsh words for Clapper, not only for the intelligence failures surrounding the Egyptian turmoil, but also for his comments that the Muslim Brotherhood as a “secular” organization.
“This is the director of intelligence of the global superpower and he is going on one of the most historic days in the Middle East – he is going around the world announcing that the guy in charge of U.S. intelligence is an idiot,” Steyn said. “A few weeks ago just before Christmas, he was oblivious to the biggest terror bust of the day.”
As stated at RealClearWorld, even after clarification to Clapper’s jaw dropping comment, the reaction to such a bizarre and ill-conceived comment was beyond the pale.
Even with a near-immediate clarification release from his office, Clapper’s statement prompted derision of both the restrained and the angry variety. NBC’s Richard Engel called it a “head snap” moment. Perhaps the mildest response I could find was Jake Tapper’s comments on ABC News, stating simply: “The Muslim Brotherhood is quite obviously not a secular organization.”

Charles Krauthammer Not Impressed With Obama’s SOTU: “Obama Is Capable of Giving Great Speeches… This Was Not One” … But MSM Says it was ‘Reaganesque’
Obama’s SOTU … flat and uninspired.
Charles Krauthammer was not impressed in the slightest with President Barack Obama’s SOTU speech. Krauthammer stated that this is a president who is capable of giving great speeches and has … this was not one of them. He also went on to say that this was one of the weakest Obama speeches. I hate to break it to the liberal MSM, but the speech was hardly Reaganesque. The MSM will stop at nothing to shill for this president.
Video Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit
According to Nielson, 43 million watched Obama’s speech, which according to Hot Air is down from 52 million who watched Obama’s first SOTU and 48 million last year.
On Tuesday, January 25, 2011 President Obama delivered his State of the Union address. The address was carried live from approximately 9:00 PM- 10:15 PM on 11 networks. The sum of the average audience for those networks was 42,789,947 viewers, with a combined household rating of 26.6. The networks carrying the address included ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, TEL, UNI, CNN, Centric, CNBC, FOXNC, and MSNBC. Viewership to last night’s address was down 18% from his address on February 24, 2009 and down 11% from his State of the Union address last year on January 27, 2010.
From Newsbusterscomes the MSM falling over themselves trying to compare Barack Obama to Ronald Reagan. Pretty amazing seeing that when Reagan was in office the Libs had nothing good to say about him. I think thou dost compare too much. Could the MSM be any more obvious and desperate?
On CBS, Evening News anchor Katie Couric touted how political analyst Jeff Greenfield thought it was “down right Reaganesque”
and that “some” have argued “this could be his Reagan moment.”
These people are absolutely pathetic … Thankfully no one of any sound mind finds the MSM credible anymore.

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik Blames Arizona’s “Prejudice & Bigotry” for Shooting of U.S. Rep Giffords by Jared Lee Loughner
Um, gee Sheriff Dupnik, who is fanning the divisive flames?
How disgusting and low must one be than to co-opt a tragedy for your own political gain? Even during President Obama speech (VIDEO) this afternoon, he called for people to come together, support each other and pray for Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims and their families, even if Obama said, “Gabby was a friend of mine”. I think he meant “is”. It is too bad Sheriff Clarence Dupnik could not do so.
During tonight’s police press conference regarding the shooting of U.S. Rep Gabrielle Giffords and others at a Tucson grocery and shooter Jared Loughner, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik made a simply rotten comment. Dupnik blamed Arizona’s “prejudice, bigotry and vitriol” for the shooting. Far be it a crazed, loner, pot smoking loser that be held responsible for his actions.
Isn’t this something. These comment come from the same individual, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who called the Arizona Immigration law unwise, stupid and racist and said he would not enforce it. No agenda here, is there by Sherif Dupnik rather than focusing on those killed and wounded by the gunman.
Video Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit
Comments from Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik via the AP:
“But again I’d just like to say that when you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain people’s mouths about tearing down the government, the anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And, unfortunately, Arizona I believe has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.”
According to all reports, the suspect Jared Lee Loughner has not cooperated with police or provided a motive as to why he went on a shooting spree. So what mind reading capabilities does Sheriff Clarence Dupnik possess? So all crimes in Arizona are the cause of prejudice and bigotry? Or is it only one’s that fit his liberal agenda? How is it on the very day that America, namely Arizona is traumatized by this mass murder shooting, that the Sheriff in charge blames Arizona for their “prejudice and bigotry”? How sensitive of Sheriff Clarence Dupnik.
Seriously Dupnik, why don’t you just man up and blame AZ governor Jan Brewer, Sarah Palin, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hanity, Glenn Beck and the Tea party for the murders. Because Heaven ford you actually find a crazed, pot smoking, Communist Manifesto reading lunatic responsible for his actions.
