John Stossel Pretends To Be A Homeless Beggar To 'Prove' What A Cushy Life It Is
John Stossel helped further Fox News' war on the poor yesterday when he reported back from his experiment pretending to be a homeless beggar. Based on an hour's effort, Stossel concluded he'd earn $90 a day or $23,000 a year. "Tax free," Stossel added. While I'm sure Stossel would not feel like that was such a terrific amount of money if he had to actually live on $23,000 a year (tax free or not), he and the Curvy Couch Scrooges on Fox & Friends did their best to persuade their viewers that giving money to the homeless only enables their drug and alcohol abuse.
Read moreTodd Starnes Upset Over Humanist Challenge To Franklin Graham Charity
As part of their pander to the religious right, Fox News seems to have become the official mainstream media (!) outlet for the Billy Graham empire. When Billy's son Franklin was disinvited from a Pentagon National of Prayer event after having made anti-Islamic comments (Islam is "evil"), Fox had his back. Sean Hannity whitewashed Graham's anti-Obama commentary. And when Billy Graham turned 95, Sean Hannity honored him with a special TV homage which was pimped on Fox & Friends. Grateful for Fox's support, Franklin said that God is "using" Fox News. And now that publicly funded charter schools have been warned that their official participation in a toy drive sponsored by "Operation Christmas Child," a ministry of Graham's Samaritan's Purse, is problematic, Fox News's ultimate Christian culture clubber, Todd Starnes, is fired up!
Read moreMegyn Kelly Joins Fox News’ Race War On Oprah Winfrey
Megyn Kelly grabbed her racial pitchfork last night and called up Fox News contributor Allen West to enlist in Fox News’ race war on Oprah Winfrey. This was at least the sixth Fox News attack on Oprah for having had the (racial) audacity to opine that she believes some of the attacks on President Obama are based on his race. Just as with her co-workers, Kelly inadvertently proved Oprah’s point for her.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Insists Nobody On Fox Makes Personal Attacks
Not surprisingly, MSNBC's Martin Bashir's apology to Sarah Palin is not good enough for Bill O'Reilly. Not only that, O'Reilly used the situation to portray the vicious Palin (whom even O'Reilly has little patience for) as a conservative martyr, attack MSNBC, take a racial swipe at Oprah Winfrey - and, as the piece de resistance, tell media critic Howard Kurtz that personal attacks are not countenanced on Fox News.
Read moreWill Bill O'Reilly Endorse Drug Testing For Members Of Congress?
In his ongoing quest to look out for the "folks," Bill O'Reilly has endorsed the idea of drug testing those "parasites" who are on welfare. As an omniscient being, he knows that "there's a lot of fraud in welfare all over the place and there are a lot of drug-addicted and alcoholic people getting money and spending it on drugs and alcohol." He objects to "his tax dollars going to drunkards and drug addicts." But O'Reilly isn't alone in his thinking. In September, GOP US Rep. Trey Radel voted for GOP legislation that would have forced food stamp recipients to take a drug test in order to maintain eligibility. Just one month later, the anti-drug Florida teabagger got himself busted for buying cocaine. He pleaded guilty and acknowledged that he has an alcohol problem. But he will seek counseling so it's all good...But wait...
Read moreElisabeth Hasselbeck Advances Todd Starnes' Outrage Over Bible Marked As 'Fiction'
As Fox News' "fundamentalist barking dog," Todd Starnes is always on the alert for examples of the insidious secular agenda that is trying to destroy America's Christians. The latest addition to his voluminous collection of anti-Christian outrages is his report about how a Christian pastor made the "shocking discovery" that a local Costco store had, OMG, labeled the Bible as "fiction." While Costco told Starnes that it was an error and had been corrected, the pastor says that there is still a "boatload" of mismarked bibles. So how better to take this outrage national than to feature it on America's flagship show for outraged Christians, Fox & Friends. And sure as the tide goes in, the tide goes out, the aforementioned pastor was a guest on this morning's Fox & Friends.
Read moreNeil Cavuto’s One-Sided Attack On The Affordable Care Act
On yesterday’s Your World, former Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) defended his vote on the 2010 Affordable Care Act under a barrage of attacks and interruptions from host Neil Cavuto. Stupak stood strong but he could have tried to put Cavuto on the defensive by asking why Cavuto was ignoring or discounting the many benefits of the ACA (“ObamaCare”) to the country as a whole.
Read moreFox & Friends Enlist Conservative Brit To Attack American "Entitlement Nation"
The gang on the Fox & Friends curvy couch loves Jesus but really, really hate those folks, who, due to economic circumstances, receive government benefits. Many of these people are those who are disabled, veterans, and the elderly; but, in Foxworld, these folks (read lazy, dark people) are the "takers" whom Mitt Romney spoke about and who continue to be attacked by Fox & Friends which knows that any suggestion of "welfare" plays well to their angry, white demographic. And just to make sure that the audience realizes that it's those moochers (not corporations and income inequality) who are causing the demise of this nation, this morning's Fox & Friends featured a conservative Brit to warn us that America is going the way of Europe. And this isn't the first time that Daniel Hannan has appeared on Fox & Friends. In 2011 he warned us about the dangers of multi-culturalism (read Muslims) which is another issue that plays well in the dark depths of Foxworld!
Read moreGretchen Carlson Enlists Rush Limbaugh In Fox News’ Race War On Oprah
Gretchen Carlson joined Fox News’ race war on Oprah Winfrey on today's Real Story. And she turned to Rush Limbaugh, of all people, for ammunition. Ironically, Carlson proved Winfrey’s point – that some attacks on President Obama are because of his race - even while trying to vilify her as a race baiter.
Read moreGretchen Carlson Blames Liz Cheney's Gay Sister's 'Lifestyle Choice' For Family Rift?
Given that Fox News is the media mouthpiece for those who love Jesus and hate fags, it's not surprising that their coverage of LGBT issues is biased and inaccurate. As such, I was wondering how the Fox talkers would deal with the recent revelation of the rift between Liz Cheney, candidate for US Senate, and her sister Mary Cheney, over same sex marriage. It must be a conundrum for Fox. While it has always been unwavering in its support of former Veep Dick Cheney, who supports same sex marriage, Fox, as a quasi-conservative Christian media outlet, opposes LGBT rights while supporting the homophobic hate group The Family Research Council. Yesterday, in discussing the Cheney family feud on her program, Gretchen Carlson didn't say much; but what she said about how same sex marriage is a "lifestyle choice" (not a right) that makes "things difficult" for the Cheney family spoke volumes.
