Another Salvo In Fox News’ War For The Wealthy

Guest blogged by Brian

Fox News’ “business block” is always looking for ways to help the rich and screw the rest of us. On Saturday’s (10/31/09) Cashin’ In, the gang used the ruse of claiming there’s a “war on wealth” to attack President Obama’s efforts to shore up the economy and help the middle class. With video.

Rep. Bob Andrews Challenges Fox To Be "Fair And Balanced"

Nothing warms my News Hounds' heart more than a feisty Democrat confronting and challenging Fox News on their tactics. Call a whaaambulance! Greg Jarrett couldn't take it. It seems that Fox News enjoys being "the voice of opposition" to Obama but they can't take it when they are the ones being opposed. Rep. Rob Andrews of New Jersey is our latest Top Dog for refusing to be acquiescent to Fox News' anti-Democratic agenda. Video after the jump.

Rick Sanchez Slams Fox News For Their False Ad About Tea Party Coverage

I say it’s long overdue for the rest of the media to start calling Fox News on their BS. Here, CNN's Rick Sanchez not only destroys Fox News’ ad claiming they were the only network to cover the Tea Party protests, he takes aim at Fox News’ “fair and balanced” mantra. “Bottom line is, we do cover the news and we did extensively cover this event. We didn’t promote the event. That’s not what real news organizations are supposed to do. We covered the event. I would invite you to look into that distinction between those two words, ‘promote’ and ‘cover.’ Cover is kind of like a fair and balanced way of doing things. You get it? You might want to look into that. His parting shot to Fox? “Two words: ...You lie.” Video after the jump.

Rick Sanchez, Top Dog!

Fox News "Asks" If Obama Health Plan Puts Us "One Step Closer To The United Socialist States Of America"

Written by Brian and Ellen

On Saturday’s (7/18/09) Bulls & Bears, host Brenda Buttner “asked” if the White House plan put us “one step closer to the United Socialist States of America.” Liberal guest Mike Papantonio did a terrific job not only in combating the spin from the unbalanced panel but he managed to seize control of and reframe the discussion so as to put the conservatives on defense. Papantonio is our latest top dog. With video.

Glenn Beck has A Meltdown Arguing Against National Health Insurance

Glenn "I love my country so much I'd cry for it" Beck proved that he also loves it enough to have a major meltdown defending our health care system. After sarcastically mocking a caller to his radio show, "Cathy," for arguing that we're the only industrialized country in the world that doesn't have health care," Beck finally lost it when Cathy refused to be intimidated. "What would you do to change this health care system for the better?" she pressed. Instead of answering, Beck screamed, "Get off my phone! Get off my phone you little pin head!" Audio after the jump.
