Even in the Authorized Version, Roger Ailes Is Not a Nice Guy
Not even an authorized biography can turn Roger Ailes into a nice guy. At least that’s the impression left from the preview, published in Vanity Fair, of a new book, Roger Ailes: Off Camera, written by Zev Chafets with extensive cooperation from Fox News' chief, which will be published later this month. The book portrays Ailes as a control freak and a combative, competitive tough guy, who called President Obama “lazy”, Newt Gingrich a “prick” and Joe Biden “dumb as an ashtray.”
Read moreHannity's Immigration Expert: Ann Coulter
Is there anyone who cares what two-time voter-fraud suspect Ann Coulter thinks about immigration? Although her bio says she formerly worked on immigration issues, she's really known for her flame-throwing at liberals - while tossing around her bleached-blonde tresses and clad in something low cut. In other words, she gave up any claim to serious punditry many, many slurs ago. In fact, in less than a minute, she showed her utter ignorance of the border situation by blaming the media for the lack of a fence along the U.S. southern border.
Read moreDennis Miller Now Smearing Alan Colmes
Dennis Miller, one of Fox News’ stable of so-called comedians recast as pundits, made his regular Wednesday night visit to the O’Reilly Factor last night where he responded to O’Reilly’s attack on “shoot out with” Alan Colmes of the night before. Instead of offering any real opinion, Miller used the opportunity to make gratuitous smears of Colmes. The implicit message was: who cares if O'Reilly was right or wrong to call Colmes a "liar" when he (correctly) pointed out spending cuts proposed by President Obama? The only thing that matters to Miller is the opportunity to show his disdain for both of them.
Read moreJudgmental (?) Bill O'Reilly Lectures Fundamentalist Pastor About Biblical Allegory
Bill O'Reilly must have had quite the "road to Damascus" moment because he certainly has fallen off his high horse with regard to his evolution on, yes, evolution! In 2009, he bloviated that Jesus guided evolution and that science still hasn't "figured it out." In 2011 O'Reilly, in a heated argument with atheist Richard Dawkins, said that he was a creationist. That same year, he dismissed the scientific basis for the tides. Not only does he now embrace science, but he feels that it's his duty to lecture fundamentalist Christians, who interpret the Bible literally, on how their beliefs aren't scientific. Last week, he chided the producers of the History Channel's "The Bible" on their beliefs - and pimped is upcoming book on Jesus. In a subsequent "Tip of the Day" he suggested that those who don't share his views on the bible as allegory are like jihdadists. And last night, he continued his biblical exegesis with Pastor Robert Jeffress - and pimped his book. Meanwhile, Catholic O'Reilly doesn't seem to care about Jeffress' anti-Catholic views. Go figure!
Read moreKirsten Powers To O’Reilly: You Need To Admit You’re Wrong
Unfortunately for Bill O’Reilly, Kirsten Powers didn’t buy into his pretense last night that Alan Colmes had not provided any specific spending cuts President Obama has proposed. You may recall that was the basis for O’Reilly’s shocking outburst against Colmes the night before. Powers came armed with facts and figures that proved Colmes’ case and told O’Reilly, “You need to admit you’re wrong.”
Read moreO’Reilly Pretends His Meltdown Was A Ploy To Get Attention For The Imminent Collapse Of The Country
Bill O’Reilly addressed tonight his shocking attack on Alan Colmes last night. “I’m sorry I said Alan was lying,” O’Reilly said. “I should not have used that word.” Then he proceeded to argue that the state of the country is so dire and that Americans are not paying enough attention so he just HAD to do something to get it.

Leave it to Fox News to observe the death of a national leader by using it to hate monger against our president!
Read moreCavuto Guest Opposes Sex Ed But Wants Chicago Kids To Shoot Each Other?
Just when you think you've heard the most ignorant and offensive right wing comment, think again. While a recent comment, on Neil Cavuto's show, wasn't on a par with the infamous rape comments made by two failed GOP senatorial candidates, it certainly is right up there in the GOP Hall of Shame. Last Friday, Cavuto and Michelle Fields discussed a new Chicago sex-ed program that will provide age appropriate information for kindergartners, including what constitutes "bad touch." (*Fields is the GOP's newest hot, young thing whose main cred is that she hosts an internet show with the former congressman Allen West) Cavuto and Fields were appalled by the curriculum which is intended to protect kids against sexual predators - not, as claimed by Cavuto, to make students "sexually savvy." Fields used her face time to denigrate the Chicago public ("government") school system. She also suggested that, rather than teach "disgusting" sex-ed, Chicago schools teach the kids, many of them living in violent neighborhoods, how to shoot a gun!
Read moreJohn Stossel Tells O'Reilly He Was 'Obnoxious' And 'Out Of Line' With Alan Colmes
Bill O'Reilly knew he went too far with his vicious attacks on Alan Colmes last night and he repeatedly referred to that meltdown discussion during the rest of the show. In the opening of a subsequent segment with John Stossel, O'Reilly said, "I'm still feeling bad about Colmes." But Stossel didn't mince his words. "You were out of line!" he shot back.
Read moreHannity Goes to Bat for Poor Children in America. Aggressively.
Mohammed Morsi and his government in Egypt have worked a miracle, gentle reader! They’ve gotten Sean Hannity concerned about poor children in America! How did this wonder of wonders happen? Because Secretary of State John Kerry has just announced nearly $450 million in aid to the "terrorist," "Muslim Brotherhood" government in Egypt instead of spending it on poor children (or on the military, which is more characteristic). The Obama administration's support of Egypt is a familiar topic of outrage on Fox, and Monday night Hannity made it the subject of one of his bring-in-a-friend-and-we'll-bully-a-liberal segments.
