O’Reilly Cuts His Pro-Immigration Guests’ Mics
Just yesterday, Bill O’Reilly complained about African Americans harboring “Grievance, grievance, grievance!” Apparently, O’Reilly thinks some grievances are A-OK, namely his own. Tonight, O’Reilly was full of grievance against California’s Democratic governor Jerry Brown’s immigration stance and, later, the two guests who support Brown. O’Reilly was rude, interruptive and, finally, cut the mics of both guests because they would not answer O’Reilly’s questions the way he thought they should.
Read moreJeanine Pirro Demands Obama Resign. Is This Fox’s Latest Meme?
Apparently, Fox’s Jeanine Pirro has put aside her demand for President Obama’s impeachment. You know, because only Democrats are talking about it. Instead, without explanation for her change of heart, Pirro demanded in a recent commentary that Obama resign. We suspect this is not an evolution in her thinking so much as an emerging Fox News meme.
Read moreJon Stewart Skewers Fox’s Racist Ferguson Coverage
Jon Stewart got right to the heart of what’s wrong with Fox News’ coverage of the shooting death of Michael Brown and the resulting protests in Ferguson, Missouri: a lack of understanding or even interest in the problems of people of color. With special lampooning of Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.
Read moreFox’s Guilfoyle Wishes Putin Were President For 48 Hours To ‘Get It Done Right’ With ISIS
Fox’s Kimberly Guilfoyle has no credentials in national security, terrorism or international policy and she never seems to have spent one minute in military service. But that’s no reason not to play an expert on how to handle ISIS on Fox News.
Read moreYes, Megyn Kelly, Another National News Organization Did Cover The Ferguson Rally For Officer Darren Wilson
Monday night, The Kelly File hosted a supporter of Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed the unarmed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Kelly attempted to boost her “fair and balanced” cred by indignantly complaining that other news organizations had ignored a rally on behalf of Wilson. So what’s CNN? Chopped liver?
Read moreBill O’Reilly On African Americans: ‘All You Hear Is Grievance, Grievance, Grievance! Money, Money, Money. Give me more money!’
Bill O’Reilly followed up last night’s discussion about white privilege with Megyn Kelly with another of his tongue lashings for African Americans – this time without the inconvenience of Kelly’s challenges. But while O’Reilly railed yet again against “race hustler” Al Sharpton for not addressing problems within the black community, O’Reilly conveniently ignored Sharpton’s remarks at Michael Brown’s funeral yesterday calling for just the kinds of changes O’Reilly advocates.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Says Beyoncé's Lyrics Are 'Skanky'
Roger Ailes knows that sex sells. And that's why Fox females are positioned so that the camera can make maximum use of their legs which, in the case of Megyn Kelly, are famous. Yet, when it comes to Beyoncé's performance at the VMA awards, Fox is taking a very Victorian stance because Queen Bey dared to combine her raw sexuality with a message on feminism which, with its message of empowerment, is very threatening to those who want women to know their place in the patriarchy. As the mouthpiece for this medieval, misogynistic world view, Fox News has hosted anti-feminist Suzanne Venker and the Princeton Mom who thinks that college is only for finding a husband. Last night, Megyn Kelly and her anti-feminist guest Mollie Hemingway continued this narrative by trashing both Beyoncé' and feminism which, according to Rush Limbaugh, "allows ugly women access to society." Beyoncé says otherwise and Fox isn't happy!
Read moreSteve Doocy's Guest Says Michael Brown's Body Was Lethal Weapon?
As they did in smearing Trayvon Martin as a young black thug who had it coming, Fox News is doing the same thing with Michael Brown. Last week, Fox ran with discredited account that purported to show that Brown was acting aggressively. While acknowledging that their source's story hadn't been verified, a number of Fox talkers claimed that Officer Wilson suffered a facial fracture because he was assaulted by Brown - a story that has subsequently been debunked. Bill O'Reilly and Peter Johnson Jr. claimed that the video of Brown, allegedly robbing a store, was relevant to the case even though the Ferguson Police Chief said it wasn't. And this morning, the very irrelevant GOP spokesperson Linda Chavez, in engaging in the now patented Fox trashing of Eric Holder, said that Michael Brown, who is being buried today, couldn't be considered unarmed because he was so big. Just when you thought it couldn't go any lower.....
