Roger Ailes Tried To Disrupt His Bucolic Community With His Divisive Partisanship
Roger Ailes doesn't just run Fox News as a political enterprise. He tried to do the same thing in his weekend community of Garrison, New York. Unfortunately for him, it didn't work out quite so well.
Read moreOutrageous Quote Of The Week – 1/5/14-1/11/13
Boy, oh, boy, the new year certainly seemed to bring out the outrageousness on Fox News! This week, we’ve got a “stellar” lineup for our readers to consider. As you might expect, this week's selection includes some crazy talk about the Chris Christie scandal, but we’ve also got attacks on our social safety nets, an emphatic thumbs up for income inequality (yes, you read that right) and a ridiculous suggestion that Obama hates nuns. Plus a doozy from none other than Roger Ailes! And that's not all...

Charles Gasparino's comments about being a good Catholic (think "Merry Christmas") handily won him The Most Outrageous Quote of the Week award this week.
Read moreFox Guest: Income inequality isn’t a problem, it’s actually a virtue
On yesterday’s Cashin’ In, host Eric Bolling and regular guest Michelle Fields started off a discussion of President Obama's focus on income inequality by sneering and making fun of it and him. But regular guest Jonathan Hoenig took the nastiness to a whole new level when he praised income inequality as “a virtue.”
Read moreBill O'Reilly's Alleged Abusive Behavior Reflected In 'Tip Of The Day?'
Bill O'Reilly's deep thoughts, otherwise known as Tips of the Day, not only demonstrate Bill's hubristic hypocrisy; but they also reflect the cognitive dissonance between his advice and how he comports himself. At best, they show a lack of self-awareness; at worst, denial of reality. But as is said about the accuracy of stopped clocks, O'Reilly sometimes gets it right. On January 8th, he opened his advice segment with video of Dennis Rodman's rendition of Happy Birthday to the Korean Supreme Leader. He ended this comment: "If you do foolish things, it will always come back to haunt you." LOL, spoken like a guy who was involved in a sexual harassment suit and, according to Gabriel Sherman's new book about Roger Ailes, an incident where he bullied a Fox News staffer so brutally that she thought that he was going to assault her. Ah, good times
Read moreAnother Bill O'Reilly Fact Refuted By Reality
During a contentious discussion (1/6) about marijuana legalization, with Mary Katharine Ham (whom he accused of "babbling") and Juan Williams, Bill O'Reilly, as Sen. Al Franken characterized it, pulled facts from his ass. He claimed that getting arrested for pot possession was no big deal because all it entailed was a "ticket" and that there are no "mass arrests" of pot users. Once again, O'Reilly, a "marijuana truther," is full o'crap. Forbes magazine, hardly a "liberal loon" publication, rebutted O'Reilly's assertion with actual data.

Jon Stewart was in top form Thursday night skewering Fox News’ war on the poor. And their hypocrisy toward banksters. Have some laughs at Fox and their friends’ expense.
Read moreGeraldo Rivera: Chris Christie Is ‘The Tony Soprano Of Politics In The Good Way’
Geraldo Rivera forcefully debated Bill O’Reilly last night on the import of the Bridgegate scandal on Chris Christie’s political future. O’Reilly played the GOP cards of trying to make the scandal about the Obama administration, minimize the scandal’s impact on Christie’s career and delegitimize the investigation. All of which Rivera batted aside as he honed in on the serious danger to Christie ahead. But Rivera also tried to talk up Christie – by likening him to Tony Soprano.

Birther Donald Trump has a new publicity stunt: a phony run for governor of New York. Naturally, he went to Fox News where he knew he could promote his hooey without challenge.
Read moreO’Reilly: Christie Scandal Coverage Shows The New York Times ‘Is Basically Running The Democratic Party’
In what can probably be seen as a classic case of projection, Bill O’Reilly accused the New York Times of being “an extension of the Democratic Party.” After guest Laura Ingraham agreed, O’Reilly upped the accusation to “basically running the Democratic Party.” Why? Because in its "Bridgegate" coverage, the Times portrayed Governor Chris Christie as a bully.
