Fox & Friends Features More 'Divine Journeys'
You're not gonna believe this; but, Fox's old time gospel hour, otherwise known as Fox & Friends, rounded out its miracle week with - drum roll please - two pieces about those who made a round trip to heaven and back - which is the title of both segments. On Wednesday, Fox friend Ainsley Earhardt spoke to a Christian pastor who got through the pearly gates and returned to tell the tale. Yesterday, Steve Doocy interviewed a young man who made the round trip when he was four. This the same kid who, in 2010, told a grinning Gretchen Carlson that he met Jesus during his celestial vacay which is the basis for his book, "Heaven is for Real." And today, the gang on the curvy couch spoke with a woman who went to heaven and was sent back home with marching orders. What can ya say!!!!
Read moreFox News Wrongly Reports That Witness Saw Trayvon Martin Punching George Zimmerman
Here's a shocker (not): Fox Nation's article (which I recently posted was hyped as part of its "acquittal" of George Zimmerman) states that a "blockbuster" witness testified to seeing punches thrown down "MMA-style" by Trayvon Martin. In fact, the witness, John Good, testified that he did not see punches thrown.

Today in Fox-for-the-Zimmerman-Defense news: Fox Nation's Daily Update would give you the idea that George Zimmerman is about to be acquitted. Or if he's not, he should be.
Read moreDr. Keith Ablow The Latest Fox News Personality To Moonlight As A Huckster
We have long questioned Fox psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow's sanity but now there are reasons to question his integrity, too. It turns out he's a spokesman for a diet company - while billing himself as a "Fox News psychiatry expert." That is when he's not making bizarre "psychoanalyses" of Democrats from afar. But isn't this a violation of Fox News policy?
Read moreLaura Ingraham Smears Texas Senator Wendy Davis For Filibustering Anti-Choice Bill
After Texas state senator Wendy Davis successfully filibustered Texas’ radical anti-abortion law, the right wing predictably began sliming her. However, Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham takes the cake. She alternately made the bizarre conclusion that Davis is a hypocrite on the issue because she was a teen mother, and also asked Davis to go to a playground so she can point out which children “shouldn’t be here right now.”
Read moreEric Bolling ‘Recognizes’ Senate Passage Of Immigration Reform By Opening The Five In Spanish
Eric Bolling opened today’s The Five show by “just practicing” his Spanish. It was his way of suggesting that America as we know it will disappear thanks to the immigration reform bill that passed the Senate earlier.
Read moreOn Hannity, Fox Contributor Malkin Offers Help For IRS ‘Whistleblowers’ To Come Forward
On the Hannity show last night, Sean Hannity and Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin ignored the latest developments blowing the GOP scandal to smithereens. Instead, Malkin ratcheted up the hostility by sneering, “All roads lead to Washington D.C. and all fingers, at some point, will lead straight to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” Then, in a likely attempt to make her far-fetched, baseless dream come true, she urged "whistleblowers" to come forward.
Read moreAinsley Earhardt Gushes Over Pastor's Trip to Heaven
That Fox & Friends has become a bizarre hybrid of the National Enquirer and the 700 Club was made manifest yesterday when Fox bubble headed bleach blonde, Ainsley Earhardt credulously interviewed a Christian pastor who believes that he died in an auto accident, went to heaven, and returned to tell the tale on Fox & Friends. But this wasn't the first time that magical mystery tourists were warmly embraced on Fox & Friends. In 2010, Gretchen Carlson interviewed an 11 year old who went to Christian heaven and met Jesus. After Newtown, she wept while another returnee spoke of his experience. In April, Gretch spoke to a celestial voyager who could smell God. Tuesday, Steve Doocy showcased a Christian boy who not only had angelic visitors during his cancer treatment but was cured of his cancer by Jesus. Never mind tabloids and religious broadcasting. Fox & Friends is rapidly becoming its SNL caricature.
Read moreMark Fuhrman Mansplains Black Teen’s Testimony In Zimmerman Trial
It’s bad enough that Fox has chosen Mark Fuhrman to be one of its primary commenters on the George Zimmerman trial – while neglecting to tell any of its viewers of Fuhrman’s disreputable record on race matters. But this morning, Fox stuck another thumb in the face of African Americans by calling on him to analyze the testimony of Trayvon Martin’s young African American friend, Rachel Jeantel. Even worse, Fuhrman reached across a cultural divide to condescendingly criticize Jeantel’s manner, her words and her credibility in a fashion that could only be described as “mansplaining.”
Read moreBret Baier Links Texas Abortion Bill To Dr. Gosnell
How can Fox News say with a straight face that their flagship "news" program is "fair & balanced" when its host blatantly pushes anti-choice mythology about the origin and substance of a Texas anti-abortion bill. I guess we shouldn't be surprised given that alleged news host Bret Baier has, on other occasions, used his position to promote anti-choice propaganda including the lie that Pres. Obama supports infanticide. He even hosted a Fox documentary about the horrors of Dr. Gosnell's clinic in order to advance the anti-choice meme that what Gosnell did was representative of all abortion clinics. Last night, during a discussion of Texas state senator Wendy Long's amazing filibuster, Baier and right wing journalist Steve Hayes managed to misrepresent the draconian anti-abortion bill and - ready for it - throw Gosnell into the mix. Fox News - "fair & balanced" as always!
