Fox Nation Cites Sterling's Dem Contributions But Ignores His GOP Voter Registration
Cliven Bundy's racist comments ripped the scab off of the festering racism that, in 2014, seems to be associated with the Republican Party and its mouthpiece Fox News which makes millions off of its audience's fear and loathing of those scary black "takers." After Bundy's commentary ended his more than 15 minutes of Fox fame, another aging, rich white guy found himself in a bit of a situation involving what appear to be racist comments caught on tape. So, in a desperate move to show that not all aging, rich white guys are associated with the GOP, Fox Nation has posted, as a great, big lede on its website - "Clippers Owner Caught in Rant is a Democratic Donor." Oh, the horror, the horror. But as with most excrement on Fox News and Fox Nation, this is basically, uh, excrement!
Read moreElisabeth Hasselbeck Pushes Popular Persecuted Conservative Student Meme - But Doesn't Quite Hit The Mark!
There is constant whining, on Fox, about conservatives being denied their freedom of speech by "politically correct" liberals. But the same concern isn't shown about liberal speech when it offends conservatives. Lately, Fox has been showcasing alleged liberal bias on campuses. Fox & Friends validated right wing hysteria about a liberal professor's "rant" about Republicans, even after the teacher apologized. Fox friend Tucker Carlson and his right wing guest, Caleb Bonham whined about how colleges are "little indoctrination centers." The narrative was continued on Saturday's Fox & Friends when three conservative students whined about their professors. And this morning, Elisabeth Hasselbeck channeled right wing outrage over a professor's street theater to further promote the popular Fox persecuted student and, for bonus points, persecuted Christian meme in a segment that didn't quite hit the propaganda mark.
Read moreBill O’Reilly War On Beyoncé: Time 100 Edition
Bill O’Reilly has a new excuse to attack Beyoncé and also take a shot at the media at the same time: Time Magazine’s decision to put Beyoncé on its cover of the 100 most influential people in the world issue. It’s hard to know why O’Reilly would disagree with the influential part. He keeps painting Beyoncé as almost singlehandedly leading the young women of America down a road of debauched, irresponsible sexuality.
Read moreFox Nation Wants To Make Sure You Know That Donald Sterling Is A Democrat
In case you missed it, LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling was caught by TMZ in a shocking racial rant two days ago. Now that Fox Nation has gotten around to covering it, guess what they are emphasizing? That he's a donor to Democrats.
Read moreO’Reilly Compares Cliven Bundy To Christie’s Bridgegate
Savvy Fox News watchers caught Bill O’Reilly’s scathing jabs at his colleagues’ championing of Cliven Bundy Friday night. But O’Reilly also whitewashed Fox’s fawning coverage of Bundy by saying there had been “a wide variety of opinion expressed in a vibrant way.” Furthermore, O’Reilly camouflaged his criticism of Fox by accusing CNN’s Brian Stelter of dishonesty and worse – and suggesting that Fox’s Bundy coverage was no different than MSNBC’s coverage of Chris Christie’s Bridgegate.

Cliven Bundy supporter Richard Mack won our Fox News Outrageous Quote of the Week poll last week. Mack had quite a bit of Fox News outrageousness as competition but our readers voted his admission about "strategizing" for an armed conflict with federal agents the most outrageous. UPDATED
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: Alleged Incident Suggests 'Attack On Christianity In Our Schools'
In the alternate reality of Fox News, Christianity is constantly under attack. When a Christian alleges that their First Amendment "free speech" rights are being violated, Fox validates their complaints as examples of attacks on Christianity. Allegations of violations, by Christians, of the First Amendment's "establishment clause" are not given the same warm support; but rather treated as - wait for it - attacks on Christianity. Fox is so desperate to prove that Christianity is being besieged by the forces of satanic secularism that, as shown on this morning's Fox & Friends, they established an allegation of anti-Christian bias when none has been proven. And in addition to promoting the patented Fox persecuted Christian meme, they also hit the patented Fox disdain of public education which hates Jesus and free speech. A propagandapalooza.
Read more'The Five' Attacks 'Pure Evil' Josie Cunningham For Contemplating Abortion
Those who wage war on women rail against charges that because they that they seek to control women by not only curtailing access to abortion, but shaming those who, for whatever reason, seek to terminate a pregnancy. But it's just not those outside abortion clinics, many of them carrying Christian signs and accessories, screaming about how those entering the clinic are "killing their babies." Those on Fox's unapologetic "pro-life" afternoon show, The Five, are also engaging in the same kind of woman shaming. Earlier this week, the show's nice pro-life Christians advanced (again) the newest "pro-life" outrage in launching a full scaled attack on a controversial British model who contemplated terminating her pregnancy as a career move. While her comments have, understandably, gotten some traction, The Five has taken it national with a hefty dose of slut shaming.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Joins In Mikey Weinstein Smear Fest
Fox News provides a warm and sympathetic pulpit for Christians who feel that their First Amendment rights are being violated. But those who push back against what they feel are violations of the First Amendment's "establishment clause," by overzealous Christians, are targets of Fox's opprobrium. Mikey Weinstein, who is head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, seems to have replaced Cindy Sheehan as Fox's number one persona non grata because of his advocacy for those, in the military, who feel that their religious freedom is being violated by those with religious agendas. Last year, Megyn Kelly, during a sneering interview with Weinstein, suggested that his group put Christian religious liberty "at risk." Thursday night, she hosted Dr. and Mrs. James Dobson for a sweet, Christian attack on Weinstein who wasn't there to defend himself. So much for Kelly's claim to be "fair & balanced."
