Fox & Friends Pimps Lie: Muslims Not Condemning ISIS
In its report Fear Inc., the Center for American Progress describes Fox News as an "echo chamber" for Islamophobia in its use of anti-Islamic contributors who act as "validators" for the extreme views of "Islamophobia misinformation experts" such as Steve Emerson and David Horowitz who are warmly welcomed on Fox. The report lists Fox contributor Walid Phares as a "validator" who "is touted" as an expert on Islam and notes his ties to a Lebanese militia responsible for massacres in refugee camps. Phares' big shtick is promoting the conspiracy that mainstream American Islam is really a cover for jihadist cells. So who better to scold Muslims, on Fox & Friends, about not condemning ISIS. This, of course, is a lie - but then this is also Fox & Friends.
Read moreFox ObamaCare Special Now A Republican Campaign Video
When Fox News aired its “Live Free Or Die: ObamaCare in New Hampshire” special, I called it a thinly-veiled gift to former Fox News contributor Scott Brown who just happens to be running for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire this fall. It turns out I was more right than I knew: Brown is actually using it as part of his campaign.
Read moreFox Makes Sure Obama Gets Criticized Over James Foley And ISIS Remarks
On Wednesday, President Obama delivered some remarks about the beheading of journalist James Foley by the Islamic group ISIS. Later that day, Fox’s Your World show discussed Obama’s remarks by “asking” if Obama was forceful enough and if he'd follow through.

Read morePeter Johnson Jr. Ignores Key Details In Story About Persecuted Christian Student Punished For 'Bless You'
Fox News never wastes an opportunity to promote their ongoing meme that Christians are being persecuted while African-Americans, who continue to be the real victims of systemic racism in our justice and economic systems, are portrayed as vicious thugs and violent takers. This morning's Fox & Friends, Roger Ailes' consigliore and Catholic Knight of Malta Peter Johnson Jr. featured the story of a poor Christian student who was suspended from a Tennessee school because she said "bless you" during a class. Of course there's lots more to the story - but this is Fox & Friends where things are kept quite simple....

It’s bad enough that African American-hating Mark Fuhrman has become Fox’s go-to guy on prime time to analyze the racially sensitive situation in Ferguson, Missouri.

Read moreAnna Kooiman Says GOP War On Women Is 'Phony' Dem Propaganda!
The GOP got hammered among single women in the last election. It isn't surprising given the GOP opposition to equal pay legislation, raising the minimum wage, and their support for the plethora of anti-choice laws. The right wing slut shaming, (especially on Fox News) of those who support the contraception mandate in the ACA and the attempt to shred the social safety net were part of what the Democrats characterized as the GOP "war on women." But Fox News has steadfastly denied that such a war exists and that the GOP is really the party for us silly gals. On this morning's Fox & Friends, Anna Kooiman continued this Fox meme with former Hewlitt Packard CEO and failed GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina whose newest endeavor is a project to make us gals wake the f**k up and vote GOP!
