Geraldo Rivera’s Sexist View Of Marriage
On today’s Outnumbered, the topic was a survey saying almost half of people in their 20s and 30s would support beta marriages, a two-year trial marriage that could last a lifetime or be ended without divorce. Today’s #OneLuckyGuy” was the four-times-divorced Geraldo Rivera. His comments about what a woman brings to a marriage gave a good clue as to why.
Read moreFox & Friends Cheerlead U.S. Companies Moving Overseas, Blame Obama For It
In his weekend address, President Obama denounced “tax inversions,” i.e. a loophole that allows U.S. corporations to avoid taxes by moving overseas. “They’re basically renouncing their citizenship and declaring that they’re based somewhere else, just to avoid paying their fair share,” Obama said. Early this morning, Fox & Friends all but got out pom poms to cheer the fleeing corporations on their way to escaping the evil Obama.
Read moreWill Fox News Call Out Ann Coulter For Being Anti-Catholic?
As a staunch defender of the Catholic Church, Fox News never wastes an opportunity to attack somebody or something as anti-Catholic. While you won't hear about the Catholic position on immigration and capitol punishment, you will hear, on Fox, lots of talk about how the ACA violates Catholic religious freedom. It has even been said, on Fox, that Obama hates Catholic nuns. Sean Hannity accused Bill de Blasio of being anti-Catholic because he refused to march in a St. Patrick's Day parade which excluded gays. Bill O'Reilly accused the media of being "anti-Catholic." Foxpriest Fr. Jonathan Morris accused NY Gov. Cuomo of being "anti-Catholic." So now that Fox fave and special Hannity BFF Ann Coulter has attacked Roger Ailes' pal, Cardinal Dolan and other Catholic figures, do ya think that Fox News will attack her for being anti-Catholic?
Read moreSarah Palin Launching An Online News Channel
Sarah Palin, still a Fox News contributor as I write this, has announced that she’s creating a competitor online. It’s to be called – what else? - the Sarah Palin Channel. No need to hold the jokes. There’s already a hashtag for that.
Read moreDoes Jesse Watters Think Fox Single Ladies Are Beyoncé Voters?
I recently came across an interesting "Atlantic" article, "The Myth of the Beyoncé Voter," which uses, as its focal point, Jesse Watters' infamous, misogynistic comments about how single women depend on government - another iteration of the infamous, misogynistic "Uncle Sugar" comment made by another Fox luminary, Mike Huckabee. After reading the article, I realized that there are female Fox hosts who don't have a ring on it - two of whom, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Katie Pavlich, were sitting on the Outnumbered couch when Watters regurgitated his verbal vomit. Does Watters realize that they are in his new demographic of Beyoncé voters?
Read moreHoward Kurtz Is Very Concerned About Jon Stewart’s Fairness To Republicans
Fox News media critic Howard Kurtz is on the “liberal bias” patrol and he’s got The Daily Show and Jon Stewart under investigation. You may recall that less than a month ago, Kurtz predicted that Stewart‘s bias has taken him “out of the zeitgeist.” But today, Kurtz shamelessly begged Stewart to have him on.

I was unable to do the poll last week so I’m making up for it this week with two – two weeks in one. It’s a crowded slate, so let’s get right to it. Ready? Set? Go.

George Will: We Should Welcome The Child Refugees To America
Fox’s George Will took a surprising stance on behalf of the child immigrants fleeing Central America who have surged at our border. “We ought to say to these children, ‘Welcome to America, you’re going to go to school, and get a job, and become American.’” His Fox News Sunday colleagues seemed taken aback, to say the least.
Read moreJeanine Pirro Slams Obama And Pope Francis, Too!?!
Fox News employs a vast stable of conservative Catholics, including those who are *divorced, who invoke their religion while hosting Fox shows. The plethora of Fox Catholics isn't a surprise as, on some issues, Catholic theology dovetails nicely with the platform of the GOP which is actively courting Catholic votes. The expectation seems to be that by having Fox's Catholic hosts validate right wing talking points, its Catholic audience will be more inclined to believe whatever agitprop is being pimped. But shockingly, it appears that proud (and divorced) Catholic, Jeanine Pirro isn't happy with her Pope because he hasn't condemned the persecution of Iraqi Christians - an issue that has become a big f**king deal on Fox as it affords an opportunity to bash the President. Last night, Pirro not only attacked the President on this issue - but she slammed Pope Francis, too!!!
