Fox News Is Rapture Ready!
Given that the Christian evangelical vote is squarely in the GOP corner, it makes sense that Fox "News" doesn't need to pander to them in the same way that it does to Catholics whose political allegiances are still a bit squishy. Hence, the boyish face of Fox priest Fr. Jonathan Morris, giving his imprimatur to right wing talking points, is frequently seen on Fox. But Fox does have former pastor Mike Huckabee who address issues of importance to the American Taliban Christian right. And recently, in pimping movies that feature "The Rapture," Fox News provided a shout-out to those bible believing Christians who actually believe that we are in the "end times" (Ebola, ISIS, Obama) and that, any day, they will be sucked up to the skies while the rest of us await our eternal damnation which could never be as bad as watching Fox News!

Read moreOn Fox, Infectious Disease Doctor Demolishes Ebola Travel Ban Argument
Three cheers for Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. He not only ridiculed the Ebola travel plan being pushed by Republican Tim Murphy (and other FNC talking heads) but took a good jab at Congressional failures to mount a constructive response, too. Host Chris Wallace did his best to protect the GOP peep but it was to little avail.
Read moreFr. Jonathan Morris Whitewashes Conservative, Anti-Gay Backlash At Vatican Synod
Despite one, brief, shining moment, when it looked like the Catholic Church was going to break free from its traditional teachings, the Church of Rome acquiesced to its more conservative members and agreed that "disordered" gays are still not welcome. In another victory for the conservatives, any talk of divorced and remarried Catholics (Megyn Kelly?) being allowed to receive communion was also scrapped. While the final document, from the recent Synod on family issues says that gays should not be discriminated against, a majority of bishops nixed any talk of approving of gay relationships. Church doctrine on the sinfulness of gay relationships remains, despite the Marxist Pope's conciliatory, liberal tone. But for official Foxpriest, Fr. Jonathan Morris, who was part of Fox fave Cardinal Dolan's entourage to Rome, the synod was happy, happy, joy, joy.
Read moreAnn Coulter Is In No Position To Be Lecturing Al Franken About Voter Fraud
Ann Coulter could not have looked more foolish on The O’Reilly Factor last night as she wrongly placed North Dakota’s Fargo in Minnesota and vastly inflated the number of Somali voters in that state. But perhaps her biggest offense was to point the finger of voter fraud at Al Franken voters when she has quite a disreputable voting record of her own.

Fox News can’t stop complaining about the CDC response to Ebola but that doesn’t mean they want the agency to have any more money. Nor does the “we like America” network seem interested in doing anything except tearing down the CDC further. Even if that means lying about its funding.

Read moreFox & Friends Provides Pulpit For High School Football Player To Spread God's Word
I often joke about how Fox & Friends is America's only "news" network show that also serves as an old time morning bible show. That they are, indeed, actively involved in Christian proselytizing was demonstrated on this morning's show which also reinforced the Christian right/Fox victimized Christian meme. The discussion centered on evil atheists who complained about a statue, on the grounds of a public high school, that featured Christian bible quotes. Earlier this month, Elisabeth Hasselbeck's one sided validation for these persecuted Christians included an interview with a Christian football player who was "fighting" to keep the verses. The evil atheists, however, got their way and the verses will be removed. So this morning, Fox & Friends updated us on this atheist outrage and, for added spiritual pleasure, provided the aforementioned high school football player with a pulpit to again share his faith and, of course, the gospel according to the curvy couch!
