Bill Maher Blasts Fox News As ‘The Reason The People Are So Polarized’
Tonight, Bill Maher hosted a panel discussion about the polarization of our country – and he fingered Fox News as the main culprit. He got major applause from the audience in response.
Read moreMartha MacCallum Pimps Fear Of Black Domestic Islamic Terrorists Targeting White Americans!
When pro-life Christian Scott Roeder was arrested for killing abortion provider Dr. George Tiller, Fox talkers, as far as I can recall, were not outraged and did not label this man a domestic terrorist. The same could be said about Frazier Glenn Cross, an anti-Semitic member of a "white patriot" group, who was arrested after a shooting at a Jewish Community Center. But the supposedly fair & balanced Fox News sees the alleged murder of a white teenager, by an African-American man who claims to be acting in accordance with Islamic teachings, as another example of the supposedly rampant black on white crime and domestic Islamic terrorism. This morning, "news" reporter Martha MacCallum validated a low rated radio talk show host's assertion that the tragic killing of Brendan Tevlin, a young white man, by a black man claiming to be a jihadist, is an example of "domestic terrorism already here." Be afraid, folks, be very afraid.
Read moreSarah Palin: I Owe America A Global Apology Because John McCain Should Be Our President
Sarah Palin – fresh from her family brawl in Anchorage – made a startling statement on the Hannity show tonight when she seemed to blame herself for John McCain’s loss in 2008. Or maybe not.
Read moreO’Reilly Blames Fox’s Iraq War Gullibility On Colin Powell And The Clintons
Fusion’s Jorge Ramos conducted a lengthy interview with Bill O’Reilly in the No Spin Zone this week. In it, O’Reilly revisited his denial of white privilege, insisted he doesn’t play political favorites, is a “traditional,” not a conservative” and, perhaps inadvertently revealing the journalistic restraints he’s under on Fox, said he gave George W. Bush “the hardest questions I could give him.” But it was O’Reilly’s explanation for gullibility over Iraq’s WMDs that really grabbed me.
Read moreSteve Doocy Defends 'Starving' Students' Junk Food From 'Food Police'
When the right wing brays about American exceptionalism, they are not, I suspect, bragging about record obesity and diabetes rates among American youth. Yet, America's patriotic newsroom seems to be promoting the kind of unhealthy eating which contributes to the rising cost of health care. As a result of bi-partisan legislation, American schools are now required to provide healthier school lunches. But never wasting an opportunity for partisan politics, Fox & Friends is using this positive step towards good nutrition in order to slam our First Lady whose healthy kids initiative was a basis for the law. America's morning propaganda show now features stories about public school students who are "starving" because the FLOTUS' "food police" are forcing schools to provide smaller and healthier portions and this, of course, is a violation of American freedom! Yesterday, Steve Doocy rushed to the defense of "starving" students whose school is eliminating junk food from its vending machines!!!!!! Oh, no......
Read moreFox Refusal To Apologize For Ray Rice 'Stairs' Joke A Perfect Example Of Its Arrogance
The Washington Post's Erik Wemple addressed Fox & Friends cheesy "addressing" of its hosts' sleazy joking about footballer Ray Rice punching out his wife in an elevator. Let's just say that Wemple didn't buy Fox's suggestion that any offended viewers were to blame for misinterpreting Fox's noble attitudes toward domestic violence.
Read moreBrit Hume’s Ridiculously Petty Complaint About Obama’s ISIS Speech
President Obama’s speech tonight about terrorism and ISIS lasted about 15 minutes. But Fox News spent the next two hours and 45 minutes attacking Obama and largely ignoring the substance of the issues he addressed. Typical Fox. However, Brit Hume took Fox’s obsessive Obama bashing to new highs (or lows) when he complained that Obama said we will do “what it takes” and not “whatever it takes” to eliminate the ISIS threat.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Says Real Men Don't Wear Make-Up!
In the "traditional" world of Bill O'Reilly's fevered imagination, demure women love a falafel infused breast massage and macho men never wear make-up because that suggests drag queens, transgenderism, and all that non-hetero-normative stuff that makes O'Reilly's already inflated, giant head explode. During last night's "Is it Legal" segment, Bill and his legal eagles, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lis Wiehl discussed a South Carolina teen's lawsuit against his local DMV for their refusal to issue him a license until he removed his make-up. Not surprisingly, the muy macho O'Reilly sided with the DMV cuz guys don't wear make-up, don't ya know!
Read moreFox’s Holder Complains About ‘Anti-Testicular Police’ ‘Ripping’ Off Ray Rice’s Balls
Tamara Holder can be awesome as a Fox News liberal but last night, her inflammatory comments attacking Ray Rice’s critics and his wife might as well have been scripted by Roger Ailes, himself. Or Brian Kilmeade.
Read moreFox Guest Suggests Biblical Principles Prevent An Ebola Epidemic
Dr. Eric Braverman visited the Hannity show last night, where he was asked how much danger Ebola presents to Americans. Braverman’s answer? Not much. Other physicians agree. But Braverman is the first I’ve seen suggest that it’s thanks to Judeo-Christian principles.
