It’s Muslim Vs Muslim On Fox And Friends And Muslims Lose
The Foxy Friends at Fox and Friends shouldn’t play poker. That’s because they have “tells” which are far too broad to be ignored. Here’s one: Whenever they utter the words “a fair and balanced debate,” go all in. It’s a sure bet that what’s coming will be the exact opposite. [In fact, that’s a pretty good tell for the entire network in general.] That’s exactly how Brain Brian Kilmeade set up yesterday’s debate between two Muslims to tear each other apart. Surprise! It was over the very same Catholic University/Muslim Controversy that Fox “News” has been hammering home all week. However, Kilmeade seemed to forget that he’s supposed to—at the very least—pretend to be “fair and balanced” while he’s actually saying the words “fair and balanced.” Instead he telegraphed his (the networks?) bias from the get-go. Watch:

Fox News Uses Foiled Iranian Terror Plot To Attack Obama
The same folks who leapt to give credit to President Bush for the assassination of Osama Bin Laden are now using the Obama administration’s foiling of an Iranian plot to assassinate a Saudi ambassador in Washington, D.C. as little more than an excuse to attack Obama, not praise him. Of course, while attacking Obama as having weakened the U.S. nobody mentioned how a little war in Iraq based on faulty intelligence might have done the same thing, nor how the daily attempts to undermine his presidency here at home might not be so great, either. A sampling after the jump.

Fox News host and birther Jeanine Pirro shocked her own conservative guest when, in a discussion about the assassination of American-born Al Qaeda member, Anwar Al-Awlaki, she eagerly suggested the United States “revisit,” i.e. scale back, the First Amendment as a protection against jihadists.

Embarrassing Obama More Important Than Terrorist Killings To Fox Nation
Right now, the Fox News Channel is full of coverage of the CIA drone strike in Yemen that killed American-born Al Qaeda leader, Anwar al-Awlaki, and who the New York Times described as "a radical American colleague traveling with Mr. Awlaki who edited Al Qaeda’s online jihadist magazine." So what's the top story on Fox Nation - you know, that site that boasts about how much it loves the United States? That Warren Buffett does not endorse President Obama's so-called "Buffett rule."

Dick Cheney Still Gung Ho For Guantanamo And The Iraq War
Dick Cheney spent a full hour with Sean Hannity Tuesday night (8/30/11) – and another one is coming Thursday – in which the toughest questions asked were probably about his health. But late in the interview, as Hannity was fishing for attacks on President Obama, Cheney defended Guantanamo Bay prison on the grounds that it’s good for the world to fear the United States. Then Cheney immediately defended Gitmo as “probably a much more friendly environment and a comfortable situation” than any the prisoners would face at home. Later, Cheney boasted about his administration having “taken down” the Iraq terror program. Hannity, of course, didn’t challenge any of the assertions.
