Fox’s Watters Ambushes NOW Conference Attendees With Sexist Questions, Gets Criminal Citation
The O’Reilly Factor sent ambush producer Jesse Watters to a National Organization for Women conference in Albuquerque, NM – apparently for the sole purpose of posing smarmy, sexist questions to the attendees. Watters had been denied press credentials so he trolled the conference hotel. After a while, he was escorted out by the police and told he’d be arrested if he came back.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Still Pushing Fox Lie: ACA Covers Abortion Drugs
As the mouthpiece for those who don't believe in evolution and climate change, Fox News has absolutely no regard for science as it does tend to work against its radical, right wing agenda. One would hope, however, that even in the pursuit of propaganda, Fox would, at least, not make stuff up. But that is precisely what they have been doing with the ACA's birth control mandate. In supporting the Christian right's and the Catholic bishops opposition to the mandate, Fox has continuously *supported their view that emergency contraception causes abortions - a position that is based on theology and not medical science. Last week, Fox "news" woman Martha MacCallum, in discussing the Hobby Lobby case, advanced the lie. Tonight, on Bill O'Reilly's show, "truth detector" Megyn Kelly, for at least the third time, told the Fox News lie during her almost hysterical defense of Hobby Lobby.
Read moreFox News Showcases Dick Cheney In its Iraq Special
Friday night, Fox News aired a special report on Iraq. It was called, “Iraq and the Rise of a Terrorist State,” but it may as well have been called, “Why We Should Blame Obama And Not Bush/Cheney For The Problems In Iraq.” Driving that point home was a friendly, image-enhancing interview with Cheney himself.

Read moreFox News Sunday’s Stacked Panel Predictably Promotes Boehner’s Lawsuit Against Obama
Fox News Sunday stacked its panel discussion today to ensure an overwhelmingly positive reaction to Republican John Boehner’s lawsuit against President Obama and to shut out any voices of opposition. This, despite the already unbalanced lineup of two Republican vs. one Democratic guest for the interview portions.
Read moreFox Uses Economic Shrinking To Promote Corporate Tax Cuts
Yesterday, the Forbes on Fox show discussed the 2.9% shrinking of the economy in the first quarter – not by discussing the causes and not by mentioning the far rosier outlook for subsequent quarters – but by pushing for corporate tax cuts as a quick fix.
Read moreTodd Starnes Still Wants To Invade Mexico!
While, as an all-American patriot he supports the troops, Christian soldier Todd Starnes has never (officially?!) worn the couture of those who bravely serve our country. And while George W Bush's not so excellent adventure in Iraq resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, that doesn't stop our dear Toddles from banging the war drum for an invasion of yet another country. Starnes, like Bill O'Reilly, is upset that a US Marine is still being held in a Mexican jail on firearms charges - a concern not shown for Bowe Bergdahl when he was still being held by radical jihadists. But unlike Bill, who is calling for merely a boycott of Mexico, Starnes still wants an invasion. He really, really does...
