Fox Contributor Erickson: Male Superiority Is Scientific Fact
For the slimiest views on women, the crown has to go to Fox News contributor Erick Erickson. On an already classy Lou Dobbs segment discussing how the growth of female breadwinners spells the dissolution of society, Erickson had the nerve to say that male dominance is scientific fact and that liberals who don’t acknowledge this are “anti-science.”
Read moreFox’s ‘Senior Managing Editor For Health News’ Vows to Campaign To Repeal Obamacare
Dr. Manny Alvarez is listed as Fox News’ “Senior Managing Editor For Health News” which, presumably, puts him in Fox’s much ballyhooed “objective news” camp instead of its “opinion” sections. Yet apparently Fox not only doesn’t mind his open (anti-Obamacare) political advocacy, they showcased it on Your World on Tuesday (5/28/13).
Read moreJim DeMint Stokes Vague Fears About IRS’ Involvement in Health Care Reform
In their ongoing fight to whip up righteous indignation over the skullduggery at Obama’s IRS, Republicans have found another talking point to frighten Americans with: under the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), the IRS, that the vicious corrupt intimidator of political groups masquerading as charities red-blooded freedom-loving conservatives everywhere, is going to stick its nose into your health insurance coverage. Last night, former Senator Jim DeMint (now President of the Heritage Foundation think tank) went On the Record to scare us with vague predictions of what the Taxman could do once he was turned loose on health care.
Read moreBill O’Reilly Threatens To Boycott Mexico And ‘Collapse Their Economy’
Bill O’Reilly, King of the World, threatened to add Mexico to his list of boycotted countries – again last night. You may recall that Mexico narrowly escaped a 2012 boycott when they submitted to O’Reilly’s mighty microphone and released an American prisoner he previously used to threaten the country. Now, with another American in a Mexican prison under even more dubious circumstances, “I don’t do boycotts” O’Reilly issued his threat. Release her this week or else I collapse the economy! UPDATED
Read moreMegyn Kelly Whitewashes Her History Of Helping To Demonize Trayvon Martin
As I posted last week, Megyn Kelly worked as an on-air helpmate to George Zimmerman’s attorney in his smear campaign against Trayvon Martin. Kelly, also an attorney, almost surely knew that texts and photos of Martin’s pot use, his gangsta language and school records would not be admissible at trial. But she nonetheless played dumb as she uncritically aired and “explored” the very material the defense undoubtedly hoped she would. The same material she almost certainly knew was irrelevant to the question of whether Zimmerman shot and killed the unarmed Martin in self defense and would almost certainly not be seared into her viewers’ minds without her help. That was bad enough, but when the judge predictably barred the evidence (for now) this week, Kelly pretended it was a setback for the defense and, even worse, pretended she had challenged it in the first place. UPDATED
Read moreBill O'Reilly Uses 'IRS Scandal' To Decry 'Hate Speech' - Say What????
Paging Dr. Ablow, paging Dr. Ablow. In what seems to be a leap from garden variety cognitive dissonance, Bill O'Reilly now seems to have a serious dissociative personality disorder. O'Reilly, whose ratings seem to be directly proportional to the intensity of his personal attacks, couched in what could be considered "hate speech," is now urging "the folks" to "reject and shun those who spew hate." WTF??????????
Read moreTamara Holder Confronts Hannity On Hypocrisy Of Attacks On Adam Levine For Saying He Hates America
In case you missed it, Adam Levine, from Maroon 5 and The Voice, muttered “I hate this country” into a hot mike last night. It was in response to voting on The Voice that eliminated two of his team members. Levine has since defended his remark as a joke, issued a statement explaining his frustration with the voting and saying, “I obviously love my country very much.” But the very news network that has shown no interest in the fact that one of their hosts urged people to “do me a favor” and go punch an Obama supporter in the face thought Levine’s comments were worth at least two discussions last night. One on On The Record and a debate on Hannity.
Read moreFox Nation: Why Are Liberals So Rude?
Yes, you read that correctly; Fox Nation actually has the brass to complain about liberals being rude to conservatives. The same Fox Nation that posts incessant death threats and wishes. The same Fox Nation that discusses murdering the opposing view as an option. The same Fox Nation that celebrates the deaths of others. The same Fox Nation that runs slanderous, race-baiting, and name calling headlines designed to stoke hate. THAT Fox Nation is now complaining about people being “rude” to their side. And predictably, this article is little more than a pretext for the Fox Nation haters to hate some more. Think stalker producer and Fox Nation editor Jesse Watters cared about any rudeness toward the left in the comments to this post? Click through to find out.
Read moreGot Irony? Greg Gutfeld Attacks Lena Dunham As 'Banal'
Like so many of his conservative, Christian soul brothas, Greg Gutfeld really despises strong, independent, and pro-choice women who are comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality. He has slut shamed women who have had pre-marital sex. He describes women who have abortions as "morally inept." Because of her support for employer paid birth control (Something Fox has already been paying for) he claims that Sandra Fluke is "a poster child for whiny entitlement." Gutfeld, the author of "The Joy of Hate," isn't fond of actress Lena Dunham. Back in 2012, Gutfeld whined about how her pro-Obama video, which used sexual double entendres, made Clinton Eastwood's chair "look Shakespearean." His rant mentioned "free pills" - a reference to the HHS birth control mandate which, as we all know, will make slutty slut women even sluttier. And now that, Gutfeld, along with his unhinged right wing posse, is upset about Dunham's Memorial Day "Pee Tweet," he whined that she is "banal." OH THE IRONY!!!! And for good misogynistic measure, Gutfeld worked in the requisite free pill thing.
Read moreGreta Van Susteren Pushes Eric Cantor Into Making IRS Scandal More About Obama
“Liberal” Greta Van Susteren interviewed Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor last night and simply would not let him go without tarring President Obama in the so-called IRS scandal. Van Susteren didn’t have any evidence to connect President Obama but she repeatedly “asked” if we should believe him when he said he didn’t know about the issue until he read about it in media reports. When Cantor made it clear he didn’t have any evidence to show otherwise, she pushed him and pushed him until he finally agreed there are “unanswered questions.” But the only unanswered questions were the ones she made up. She didn’t point out that reports have indicated Obama did not know nor did she bring forth any information to suggest otherwise. Meanwhile, it just so happens that this morning, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell launched a new ad tying Obama to the scandal and likening him to Richard Nixon.
