Fox News Helps Minimize Herman Cain Sexual Allegations Scandal
Last night, when the news broke that Herman Cain had been accused by two different women of inappropriate sexual behavior, I went to FoxNews.com to see how the "fair and balanced" website would cover it. In this case, a picture tells a thousand words about how they minimized the story - until Cain came on Fox to tell his side of the story.

Dr. Keith Ablow's Attack On Jenna Lyons Isn't Homopobic?
As part of his personal attacks on celebrities he doesn't like (Bill Maher, Chaz Bono - here & here), Fox News' "Medical A Team" member Dr. Keith Ablow uses his medical "bona fides" to spout ridiculous speculations which, in the case of Chaz Bono and the transgender community, involved theory that is no longer accepted as mainstream. As such, he would appear to be in conflict with standards of professional ethics in his field. But this doesn't seem to be a problem for Ablow whose latest obsession about what constitutes "normal" gender roles (Boys should be manly, girls should be girly, and the transgendered are strange mutants) resulted in his trashing of J Crew creative director, Jenna Lyons, when she was seen in an internet ad happily painting her happy son's toenails. This was too much for the manly Ablow who saw this as "an example of the way our culture is being encouraged to abandon all trappings of gender identity?" Now that Jenna Lyons is getting a divorce because, supposedly, she just might be a lesbian, Ablow is doing an "I told you so" and in so doing supposedly proves how he was right when he said, in the first Fox News article, that she was "uncomfortable" with her son's gender - an allegation he made about a lesbian couple who are dealing with a transgender child. In other words, Ablow is expressing that age old male fear of emasculation which finds a voice in the age old whine about man hating (insert "D" word plural) who are disrupting the social order and taking away the wimmins. But Ablow says that it's not about teh gay. Really?
