Here Comes The Fox News Martyring Of George Zimmerman
After some of the most blatant and deliberate demonization of Trayvon Martin, Fox News is now setting up his killer, George Zimmerman, as a media martyr. For extra agenda points, the “fair and balanced” network is exploiting the whole thing as another excuse to belligerently howl about the “liberal media.”

Sean Hannity and his guests bent over backwards last night not to look like they were race baiting over the sensationalized case of a black man who fathered 22 children by “at least” 14 women. So instead, they made him a poster child for everything wrong with welfare and welfare recipients. Not surprisingly, nobody bothered to note that he’s far from typical.
Read moreFox News: Trayvon Martin Could Have Killed People With Skittles Or Iced Tea
In yet another attempt to “be fair” (Fox News style) to George Zimmerman – and demonize Trayvon Martin - Fox News guest Doug Burns raised the suggestion – in all seriousness – that Martin could have used his Skittles and/or iced tea as a lethal weapon that justified Zimmerman fatally shooting him.
Read moreGretchen Carlson Pimps 'Patriotic' Tea Party Propaganda Coloring Book
Fox & Friends prides itself on its patriotism - particularly the kind of patriotism evinced by portly, mostly white, folks dressed in colonial garb whilst carrying posters of President Obama with a bone through his nose and other similar angry anti-Obama renderings. Back in 2010, a Missouri publishing house produced a kids coloring book about the Tea Party which was dubbed "kiddie propaganda art" that was described "semi-literate" in its presentation. The same publishing house also did a 9-11 coloring book that Muslim groups found offensive with its frequent linking of Islam to "freedom hating" terrorism. It was also factually incorrect as is the teabagging coloring book which has been described as "factually challenged." But according to a positively glowing Gretchen Carlson, on today's Fox & Friends, sales of this book are soaring after the recent controversy surrounding the alleged IRS teabag targeting. Once again, Fox & Friends doing a public service in promoting patriotic educational tools!

Read moreFox News Guest Blames Trayvon Martin’s ‘Street Attitude’ For His Death
Fox News’ demonization of Trayvon Martin – which just happens to coincide with the tactics of shooter George Martin's legal defense - continued today when a former police detective on Fox News Live, an online show, announced that “Trayvon Martin would be alive today, OK, if he didn’t, alright, have a street attitude."
Read moreMartha MacCallum, Dr. Manny Alvarez Engage In Fact Free Freak Out Over Plan B
Alleged "fair & balanced" "news" host, Martha MacCallum has expressed, on several occasions, her horror of emergency contraception because it makes slutty sluts even sluttier. When the Plan B age restriction was lowered to15, she was outraged and now that the Obama administration is complying with a GOP appointed judge's order to make it available to all women, regardless of age, poor Martha just can't deal with it. And neither can Fox's "Medical A team" member, Dr. Manny Alvarez who joined Martha, today, for another hissy fit which was used as yet another reason to blame President Obama for the demise of female health and virtue - despite the fact that the administration was complying with a court order not mentioned by the crack "fair & balanced" news and medical team of MacCallum and Alvarez.
Read moreLaura Ingraham: Emergency Contraception Encourages Rape, Pedophilia!
While young boys and girls can walk into a pharmacy and purchase condoms, the new HHS policy, which allows women and girls of any age to purchase "Plan B" emergency contraception, is throwing the Christian right into a total tizzy. After the Obama administration lowered the Plan B age (in violation of a court order which mandated that the drug be available to all ages) to 15, Fox's "The Five" whined that this would encourage "promiscuity"; and, according to the vehemently anti-choice Eric Bolling, would "cover up rapes." In other words, young girls who are sexually abused need to have that baby as evidence for the prosecution. Now that the HHS has complied with the court order, this morning, on Fox & Friends, "Pro-life Media Luminary, Laura Ingraham, provided yet another iteration of the crazy talk with her commentary that Plan B encourages rape and sexual abuse. True story!

Sean Hannity was a vision of sanctimonious hypocrisy last night as he decried the NSA data mining efforts as an “unprecedented ability to spy on you, the American people” and he whined that “Big Brother is monitoring your every move whether it be online or on the telephone.” But Hannity’s concern for privacy seems very much to depend on which party is in the White House.
Read moreHannity Helps Publicize George Zimmerman’s Defense Video Demonizing Trayvon Martin
Just a few weeks after Megyn Kelly actively helped promote George Zimmerman’s attorney’s efforts to demonize Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman's shooting victim, Sean Hannity did his part for the Zimmerman defense team. Last night, Hannity selected a video the defense wants admitted into evidence as one of the three viewer choices for “video of the day” – and then gratuitously opined that the unflattering-to-Martin video should be admitted.
