After Calling Obama A Racist, Murdoch Denies Having Called Obama A Racist

Media Matters confronted Rupert Murdoch about his comments on Australian television saying that Glenn Beck was "right" to call President Obama a racist. Despite incontrovertible proof to the contrary, Murdoch now denies that he said it. Video after the jump.

Why Didn't Garrett Ask Obama About The Bow?

President Obama sat down with Major Garrett for a few minutes in an interview that was aired on yesterday's (11/18/09) Special Report. It was straightforward, fair and respectful. But there was no mention of one of Fox News' biggest stories of late, President Obama's bow to the Emperor of Japan. If Fox News thought the bow so important that the network obsessed over it on multiple shows and gave it top billing on their Fox Nation website, shouldn't Garrett have asked about it? Or does its omission signal the "fair and balanced" network's tacit admission that it's not as important a story as they've made it out to be? Or did the "we report, you decide" network deliberately pull its punches in order to land the interview in the wake of tensions between them and the White House? Whatever the reason, it did not reflect well on Fox News. (H/T Nayef)

Palin Says “We Weren’t Fair To The Electorate” Not Focusing More On Rev. Wright And Bill Ayers

It felt like 2008 all over again last night (11/18/09) as Sean Hannity went out of his way to bring up Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers during his hour-long interview with Sarah Palin about her new book. Why would Hannity waste time on this non-issue, if not for a sheer desire to hate monger against President Obama? In response, Palin had the nerve to pretend that talking more about Wright and Ayers was not negative campaigning, just being “fair to the electorate.” With video.

Hannity and Palin Blame Rahm Emanuel And The Obama Administration For Her Resignation

Thank goodness Fox News is fair and balanced. If they weren’t, Sean Hannity would have wasted time asking Sarah Palin during their hour-long interview last night (11/18/09) about the many inaccuracies in her new book, the response of the McCain campaign to the allegations she made against them and pressed her on why she really quit her job as Governor of Alaska in the middle of her term. Instead, Hannity left all those bothersome details to the so-called liberal media and seemed determined to compensate for every single piece of negative publicity poor, persecuted Palin ever suffered. So during his interview, Hannity not only dismissed all 15 ethics probes filed against her during her two and a half years as governor, he suggested Rahm Emanuel and the Obama administration were to blame for her troubles and her resignation. Palin wholeheartedly agreed. With video.
