Fox Doesn’t Want You to Know About McCain’s Role in Keating Five

‘Cut his mike,’ producer suggests
The Keating Five scandal, and John McCain’s role in it, has received relatively little mention in presidential campaign coverage, and at least one Fox News host seems dedicated to keeping it that way.
Appearing Thursday morning on Fox & Friends, radio host Mike Papatino tried to remind viewers about McCain’s intervention with federal regulators on behalf of real estate mogul Charles Keating, who was trying to avoid regulations of a savings and loan he owned during the S&L crisis of the 1980s.
F&F’s Steve Doocy told Papatonio to "pipe down," called him "rude" and demanded he "cut it out." A show producer could be overheard saying "cut his mike."
As Papatonio tries one last time to explain the details of the Keating Five scandal, Doocy again cuts him off.
"This is not the History Channel," he says.

Papatonio’s apparent crime was interrupting fellow guest Michael Reagan, the conservative radio host, who was arguing that it would be unfair to judge McCain based on his actions 20 years ago.
"It has everything to do with what’s happening today," Papatonio said before being told to pipe down.
Regardless of whether Papatonio was being rude, preserving an orderly debate certainly could not have been Doocy’s goal in silencing the guest. Not two minutes before his admonition that Papatonio was "being rude," Doocy repeatedly interrupted his guest to deliver talking points that might as well have been written by the McCain campaign.
At least three times Doocy interrupted Papatonio as he argued that McCain’s political gambit to "suspend" his campaign and delay Friday’s debate was more a response to his flagging poll numbers than an attempt to fix the economic crisis. Doocy wasn’t buying it.
"If Barack Obama wants to do so much for the economy, why doesn’t he go to his day job and work in the us senate?" he asked Reagan, cutting off Papatino’s argument.
The following video was posted Thursday on Go Left TV.

Pathetic. Steve Doocy is just a flat-out moron. Not even a snake. Just a moron.
September 25th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
They are getting mighty sloppy! funny funny funny I can’t wait until some of the “humanity” slips out of some of these Nazi pundits, due to their “guilt conscious” they haven’t had possibly since the age of 8.
September 25th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
No suprise indeed, The fox news channel is a joke, those guys are equivalent to a used condom. No one wants to touch it. Fair and balanced as they say, then fair and balanced they are gay. hahahahahaha

Talk about CONTROLLED MEDIA
September 25th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Micheal Reagan called for my death.
Someday I hope we can discuss it together in a civil manner like adults.

The latest benefit for running for Presidency is protection from prosecution of any sort for any crimes committed.
It also applies to those running for office are protected by the corporate press.
Otherwise, they wold not stand a chance of ever being elected.
You have to realize that they must commit crimes in order to qualify for office.
Kind of like Arnold Schwarznegger , he never could have competed as a body builder without using steroids.
He never would have made office without the steroids.
But now he is in office, it is O.K. he used them back then. But from now on others should not.
That’s why Iran and other countries hate us.
It is not O.K. for them to fight back while big brother holds their heads underwater.

Reminds me of how much coverage the Bush family’s Nazi funding got during the past two “elections.”
September 25th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
funny how he’s calling him rude. Papatonio is the only one among them who knows how to communicate.
September 25th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Fox News is a joke!
September 25th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Michael Regan is a big dipshit…you ever hear him tell stories about how his adoptive dad Ronald Regan was never really a part of his life…probably because you are such a douch Michael…time to retire buddy…
September 25th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
What a bunch!!!
September 25th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Steve ‘Douchey’ is nothing but a spineless twit. I dont want to hear any more of the Fair & Balanced BS.
You believe us or you don’t get to talk. What a bunch 2nd graders!!! Heck, I wouldn’t even give them the credit for passing 2nd grade let alone K4…
They can take their playground antics and stick them up there nose…
September 25th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
LOL…This will happen on either a liberal or a Conservative news channel. The only thing they can do is report on what they are allowed to…whether it’s a lie or not.
September 25th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
The good guys will stand up, stand up with them together and get those crooks into jail. 4Ever. Don’t let them get away, cause they will do it again. Everybody gets what he/she deserves, so make it stop. NOW!!
September 25th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
13, well no matter what party or what ever one is apart of, it all ends up being one side of a coi, meaning that they are playing the same game just with a different face.
We really need to wake up and take our nation back.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Six of one, half dozen of the other. What is the difference between the two. Vote Chuck Baldwin for a really change. Mr. Baldwin wants to follow the Constitution, what a new concept!
September 25th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
michael reagen is a real scumbag i dont think his dad even liked him
September 25th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
reagen sucks!!!!!!!!!!!
September 25th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Why is nodody talking about this on CNN? This is exactly the same thing that happened before and McCain has set a track record for how he’s dealt with situations before when it comes to bailing out his friends. Pure corruption. Why is this not HUGE news?
September 25th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
This is why America is on the way down – the neocon controlled MSM has to tell anyone who bucks the system to shut up.
Objectivity is not politically correct with the so-called republican party anymore, primarily because it has been hijacked by Trotskyites and neo-fascists.
“Not the History Channel”. What a bunch of a-holes.
“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
September 25th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Any so-called conservative that is guilty of any impropriety is immediately exonerated by the MSM. They don’t want any dirty laundry aired – doing so is just so “rude”, unless of course it fits their propaganda model.
Steve the “Douche-bag” Douchey only wants a one-sided debate. Forget any reasonable discussion about this. Any mention of McCain’s past is taboo.
Michael Reagan needs to “put a cork” up his ass so he’ll stop spewing neocon bull-shit everytime he gets on the radio and TV.
What a bunch of losers.
September 25th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
WHERE WAS MICKEY REAGAN WHEN HINCKLEY WAS UNLEASHING ON DADDY=O??…
September 25th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Michael Reagan is Angry with Humanity because he was Raped in his Asshole in the Whitehouse
as a Kid when his Father had his Bohemian Grove buddies over for Late night cocktails..
HA,HA,HA!! There all so EVIL!!
September 25th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Since it’s not the history channel… I wonder Douchey considers Faux Noise to be a news channel…
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a freakin’ joke.
Gimme a P-R-O-P-A-G-A-N-D-A
Is there are statute of limitations on the crimes McCain was involved in with the Keating 5, not that anyone cares about the law anymore
September 25th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Everyone on INFOWARS listen carefully. Go and Google “Support H.R. 2755″. This resolution was introduced by none other than Ron Paul and is known as the “Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act” which will repeal the Federal Reserve Act and abolish the US Federal Reserve at the end of 1 year after its passing into law. Everybody go start blogging and e-mailing everyone you know with this info. It’s time for everyone to write your local and state officials as well as your congress and urge them to support this resolution. Lets do this.
September 25th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
The usual people who started and ran the Money Bombs for both Ron Paul and I believe did for Alex Jones also, are now attempting to run one for a chosen third party candidate if they get enough signed up backers. Now that a candidate seems to have become the most preferred, I recommend going to this website………
http://www.thirdpartyticket.com/
It is called “Third Party Ticket”. This is the central point at this time, even though it was not known that it would be because of Dr. Paul’s Chuck Baldwin endorsement since it started last week, that will get anything as a group that is organized done. Go there and read about it and become part of it. Tnx.

Reagan also said they didn’t need a history lesson when Papatino brought up the Keating 5. Of course. They know Fox viewers only remember what they’re told to remember. There’s no bottom to the scumbaggery of the neocons. They can’t draw the line when it comes to deceiving for their bloody, gory, bankrupting causes. Yet they want the world to believe they have integrity and honor. They’re more like a cult than a legitimate cause. A cult that practices human-sacrifice.
September 25th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
I saw this on the news this morning.
We DO need a history lesson, but apparently this is the Fox News Modus operandi.
Remember the O’reilly interview with Ron Paul? Bill used the same tactics…
WE DONT NEED A HISTORY LESSON CONGRESSMAN!
those who do not learn from history… and here we go again.
September 26th, 2008 at 2:07 am
BERNAKE AND PAULSON ARE DEMONS. PROSECUTE THEM! DO NOT GIVE THEM IMMUNITY.
CONGRESS IS A CONSPIRACY COVERING UP. ARREST ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. WHERE ARE YOU POLICE? COPS ARE SORRY DICKSUCKING FAILURES.
ARREST YOUR BOSS BIITCH. IF YOU COPS EVER END UP IN PRISON WE WIL FUCK YOU TO DEATH! I PROMISE.

As I recall, the Oklahoma bombing of the ATF/FBI headquarters destroyed records relating to the S&L crisis including the Keating 5 debacle that could have resulted in criminal penalties for all involved, including McCain. At a later date, I recall that bldg. 7 of the WTC held records that also could have led to indictments of several Bush family Members involved in S&L issues and dealings in Florida. Am I wrong? Did the evidence get destroyed in two major False Flag events? Back on topic, McCain needs to explain his position and involvement as it relates to his ability to lead this nation. Each candidate needs to loudly profess their standing on the WAR, the Economy, and Immigration w/o throwing us a smokescreen with BS about guns, religion, abortion, same sex marriage, and things the government has no business dealing with. In the past, Arizona put their governor in jail where I feel all the Wall St. execs need to be.

“Michael Reagan” is an asshole and criminal, hands down (for aiding-and-abetting Mark Dice’s death – that never transpired, thankfully). As for “Steve Doocy” – I like his name – it describes him quite well in it’s annunciation: Steve “Douche-y” – more aptly put…Right up that orifice he spews his disrespecting garbage from.
September 26th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Anytime someone tries to speak the truth they are called rude and told to pipe down.
Free speech assholes. I guess you don’t get free speach on TV.
September 26th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
McCain is a fine Christian man. We need him to take over where Bush left off.
September 26th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Fox spews out garbage. Nobody should take it seriously.
September 26th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
This is incredible, Mass thievery right in front of everyone!
Now that they have stolen everything they need your permission to put the deficit on your back. The picture of Paulson and the gang is just self explanatory. I am in disbelief of what is going on. But last year I relinquished my United States citizenship and Declared Magnus to the Courts!
That was my contribution to the whole thing! This is not my country this is not my problem let it all fall into hell where it belongs! Aloha MCB
September 26th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Michael Reagan, you’re a lair! Ken Lay never spent a day in jail. Ken Lay died will on a ski trip in Colorado or least thats what we were told by the news media. If he is dead, he’s in hell. Mr. Reagan you and your neo-cons fags will get whats coming to you real soon.
LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
FOX IS TRUELY GOVERNMENT TELEVISION. IT IS THE STATION OF GOEBBELS, GERING AND THE REST OF THE FASCISTS. THEY ARE AN ARMY INTELL PROPAGANDA MACHINE. PATHETIC.
September 28th, 2008 at 2:32 am
Does anyone even take FOX “News” seriously anymore?
Anyone, that is, aside from medicated “seniors” and brainwashed, Bible Belt “rapture” cultists?
Is it safe to assume that those two groups make up nearly all of the 25-30% of Americans who, according to polls, still “approve” of the job Bush is doing?
