Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity Shows Will Air Anti-Choice "Heartbeat Bill" Ad
I know that TV ads are all about the "Benjamins" and don't, necessarily, reflect the ideology of the shows. I've seen ads for Fox during MSNBC shows. But I do find it interesting that Ohio Pro-Life Action will be running 30 second spots during the Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity shows. The ads urge the viewers to contact their Ohio legislators in order to urge them to pass the anti-choice Ohio "heartbeat bill" which would make abortion illegal once a fetal heartbeat is detected which is about four weeks into a pregnancy. Again, ad time and space are, primarily, based on revenue. But as the "church lady" would say, "isn't it special" that the ads are going to be only on two shows whose hosts have a distinct anti-choice view. Is Fox doing a little "community organizing?"

Lying Adulterer Mark Sanford Now A Fox News Contributor
So much for Christian family values. But I guess somebody had to replace Newt Gingrich...

Anonymous has a YouTube video out introducing Operation Fox Hunt. The group cites Fox News’ “continued propaganda” against the Occupy Wall Street and related protests as the reason. “Those such as Sean Hannity are attacking the credentials as well as the character of the occupiers.” The video goes on to say that Anonymous “intends on destroying the Fox News website” and “we will also engage in a propaganda campaign of our own to show them how it feels to be chastised. Fox News, your time has come.” The date is November 5th. Video after the jump.

Bill O'Reilly's Pro-Life Pal, Phil Kline, Could Have Law License Suspended
Back in February, Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly were outraged about how a KA disciplinary panel was investigating whether form KA Attorney General, Phil Kline committed professional misconduct in his crusade against the murdered abortion doctor George Tiller. Kline was assisted in his crusade against Tiller by Bill O'Reilly whose personal crusade (or is it jihad?) against Tiller contributed to a climate of hate in which Tiller was assassinated by one of O'Reilly's fellow Christian pro-lifers. Bill, who "fights for the rights of the unborn" (women who have abortions and those who support them, like columnist Joan Walsh, not so much), was subsequently presented with a "Courage Award," from the Christian hate group "Family Research Council, for his ongoing attacks on Tiller whom O'Reilly referred to as a "baby killer." Yesterday, the KA disciplinary panel recommended that Kline have his law license suspended indefinitely for the "selfish and dishonest way" with which he obsessively pursued abortion clinics. It was found that this "dishonest conduct" caused "potential injury to the public." We know that at least one man was fatally injured by the hatred stirred up by Kline who was validated in this "dishonest conduct" by the "fair & balanced" O'Reilly who is mentioned in the report.

Brian Kilmeade's And Fox News Islamophobia?
When a group of NY City Muslims decided to convert their downtown property into an Islamic cultural center, the right wing world went into paroxysms of Islamophobic rage. Never wanting to waste an opportunity to further divide Americans, Fox News, in tandem with Islamophobic hate group leader, Pam Geller and the Murdoch owned NY Post, provided a not so "fair & balanced" media "megaphone" for those who were opposed to the "Ground Zero Mosque." A standard bearer for the anti-mosque forces was Fox "friend," Brian Kilmeade, who never wasted an opportunity to validate the hatred which included his statement, for which he reluctantly apologized, that "all terrorists are Muslims." It appears that Kilmeade's palpable opposition to the mosque wasn't done as part of his dramatis (and buffonish) persona on Fox News but rather, playing to type!
