Hannity’s Guest Rains On His Benghazi Parade
Sean Hannity got less than he bargained for last night when he brought on Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods, one of the victims at Benghazi. Although Woods has been a reliable Obama-attacker for the Hannity show before, last night, he had a sudden change of tune and turned away from Hannity’s openings to do more of the same.
Read moreTodd Starnes Gets His Persecuted Christian Story Facts Wrong - Again!
In the last couple of years, during his ongoing crusade (or is it jihad) against The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, Jesus' special BFF, Todd Starnes, made several claims about the organization which, according to the legal letters sent to Fox News, were "outright false statements portrayed as fact" and "inflammatory." While we don't know if the inaccuracies, promoted by Starnes, were the result of sloppy research or, as claimed by Mikey Weinstein's attorneys, a deliberate attempt to malign Weinstein and his group, it is apparent that Starnes continues to make factual errors, not all of them involving the MRFF. His most recent "fact," in yet another screed about persecuted Christians, is not accurate. The old adage about being entitled to one's opinions but not one's facts comes to mind! But then again, Starnes works for Fox News!
Read moreIssa’s Big Takeaway From His Big Benghazi Hearing: It Was A ‘Terrorist Attack’
Continuing Fox News’ war-on-terrorism via semantics, Darrell Issa visited On The Record last night where, when asked what he had learned at his big Benghazi “whistleblower” hearing that day, the only thing he could point to was that it had been a “terrorist attack.” (H/T Think Progress)
Read moreJon Stewart Turns Fox’s Benghazi Scandal Into The Laughing Stock It Deserves To Be
Jon Stewart got to the heart of Fox's over-heated, over-hyped coverage of the Benghazi hearings yesterday. "The denizens of Bullshit Mountain have cried wolf before," he said. Noting that after eight months of investigations, Fox and the GOP should be able to clearly state a case against the Obama administration, Stewart played a clip of Benghazi-gate cheerleader Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) unable to explain - to Fox News hosts, no less - exactly what was being covered up in the big cover up he alleged.
Read moreShocker! GOP Gets Twice As Much Fox Airtime During Benghazi Hearing
Despite Megyn Kelly's hilarious suggestion that Fox News had given Democrats a disproportionate amount of airtime during today's Congressional hearing on Benghazi, the truth is that Republicans got more than twice as much time on the "fair and balanced" network during the hearing. If you follow me on Twitter, you saw me tweet about it. But Media Matters did the math and confirmed my observations with hard data.
Read moreLou Dobbs Gushes Over ‘Amazing’ Printable Gun, and Almost Calls Anarchy an American Virtue
Technology took a sinister new turn last week when someone successfully fired a handgun made on a home 3D printer. The gun (also known as the “Liberator”) was the brainchild of Texas law student Cody Wilson, a self-described anarchist and radical libertarian described by Wired Magazine as “one of the 15 most dangerous people in the world.” Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) quickly called for a ban on the “stomach-churning” weapon; but over on Fox Business Network, Lou Dobbs thought the Liberator was “amazing,” and invited Wilson onto his show Tuesday to rave about it - particularly about how it gave the finger to gun-control advocates.
Read moreFox News Is So Hoping To Use Benghazi To Bring Down Obama And Hillary Clinton
If you think Fox News really cares about the deaths of Americans in Benghazi, Libya - as opposed to exploiting the deaths of those Americans to score political points against President Barack Obama and potential Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, just take a look at the current headlines on Fox Nation. Very little about what really happened that night - and lots more about how it makes the Obama administration and/or Hillary Clinton look bad and potentially harms it.
Read moreBenghazi Hearing - Live Stream
As millions of Americans suffer from budget cuts, sequestration and unemployment, Fox's most important issue is promoting the House GOP Benghazi witch hunt hearing. Never mind that the matter has already been investigated. But for Heaven's sake, this isn't the Iraq war, where we invaded a country on false pretenses. Nor is it 9/11 where a sitting president somehow missed a warning of an imminent Al Qaeda attack. No, this is a firefight overseas that might be useful in derailing Hillary Clinton's future presidential candidacy and in Barack Obama's current one. Let's hope the Dems are coming with their A game to shoot this crap down once and for all. Video c/o CBS News.
Read moreEndless Hype on Fox About Tomorrow's Congressional Benghazi Hearing
Showtime starts tomorrow, gentle reader. That's when the House Committee on Government Oversight hold its hearing about the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi last September. And to make sure we’re properly pumped up and ready for this partisan puppet show bold attempt to get at the truth, Republican stalwarts were tirelessly making the rounds of Fox News yesterday and today, in the hopes that maybe this time, they can make something stick on the Obama administration. For example, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared On the Record, last night, to inform Greta Van Susteren that “the dam is about to break” on Benghazi.
Read moreMark Fuhrman: Not Much Difference Between 'Muslim' And 'Radical Muslim'
Megyn Kelly had a jaw-dropping discussion with Mark Fuhrman yesterday in which he decided - without objection from Kelly - that the American widow of presumed Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Katherine Russell, is not just guilty of something (we don’t know what but it had to be something) without benefit of a trial but should lose her parental rights, too. In the meanwhile, Fuhrman let slip that he doesn't think there's much difference between "Muslim" and "radical Muslim."
