In the world of Fox News, our educational system is being taken over by libruls who are using their godless agenda to destroy America as we know it. A common refrain is that colleges are full of librul professors who are foisting their radical views on our innocent youth. This morning, as part of the Fox right wing propaganda series, "The Trouble With Schools," Steve Doocy interviewed a right wing political scientist who is part of The National Association of Scholars, a right wing front group that was "founded to bring together conservatives in academia to fight the "liberal bias" on college and university campuses and to target multiculturalism and affirmative-action policies." Naturally, Doocy didn't mention the political orientation of his guest, Peter Berkowitz, who spoke of a study that purports to show that "radical faculty members and politicized courses have compromised the quality of education in the University of California." So not only did Doocy get to promote the meme of evil librul education - but promote the meme of that evil Sodom otherwise known as California.

I don’t know which was worse last night: birther Donald Trump lecturing our president that he isn’t respectful enough to the Supreme Court or On The Record host Greta Van Susteren letting him do it without noting the hypocrisy.

"Real" Americans revere Jesus, the American Flag, and Lee Greenwood whose ultra schlocky "God Bless the USA" has become the unofficial national anthem for true American patriots. As such, there is, according to Fox & Friends, "outrage" over the decision of a school in evil librul, gay loving Massachusettsto change the last words of Greenwood's sacred song to "we love the USA" rather than "God bless the USA." Thanks to Fox's resident Christian culture clubber Todd Starnes, this egregious action is now the great, big lede story on Fox Nation, a secondary lede on the Fox News website, and a topic on the God's very own morning program, Fox & Friends who have never seen a wedge issue that they didn't love.

Just as I predicted, the father of Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman appeared on Hannity last night for a lengthy interview that went beyond softball to outright advocacy on his behalf. Sean Hannity spent much of the 16 minutes decrying a “rush to judgment” against Zimmerman while simultaneously promoting his own obvious judgment. Nobody who knows his history of jumping to defend white guys in racial trouble and race-baiting against African Americans will be surprised to learn that Hannity's main goal seemed to be to prove Zimmerman wasn’t a racist – and to suggest that President Obama and all the black leaders who have taken up Martin’s cause are the real racists. Sadly, Hannity was all too happy to distort and misrepresent the facts as he went along.

Neil Cavuto spoke with Ohio Governor John Kasich to talk about tax cuts, energy policy, Vice Presidential possibilities, and other issues earlier this week (4/2/12). Kasich may be deeply unpopular among his constituents but not on Fox! It was a softball interview from the get go. But Governor Kasich’s last statements, about six or seven minutes into the interview, about the need to “modernize” entitlements and “fix” public education really wowed Cavuto.

Last night, Bill O’Reilly took to his talking points to complain that taxpayer money is being wasted “at a colossal rate.” It's not hard to discern that what he really meant was that it’s the Obama administration doing the wasting. Because while O’Reilly seizes again on that fictitious $16 muffin – with the suggestion that this is what has caused our financial mess – he has conveniently overlooked a huge waste of money caused by the Bush administration: The Iraq War. UPDATED AND CORRECTED: O'Reilly noted that the $16 cost was not for the muffin, alone.

If it weren’t for the fact that Half-Governor Sarah Palin is holding onto her Fox “News” gig by her fingertips, there would be no reason for News Hounds to even cover Her Irrelevancy anymore.  However, I suspect that long after she’s dumped by the network following November’s election, if not before, Sarah Palin will still be a punch line on comedy shows.  Last night Jon Stewart tried to make sense of Palin co-hosting The Today Show.

The debate between Nick Gillespie and Rosalind Wiseman on Fox and Friends this morning was supposedly about whether there is a bullying crisis in the United States. But was Nick Gillespie, of the Koch-funded Reason Foundation, there to discuss bullying - or was this a smokescreen to hide his  agenda of promoting economic and social segregation in the form of charter schools? Updated. With Video.

Visiting the Hannity show last night, Sarah Palin proved once again how irrelevant she is and how much more irrelevant she soon will be. When asked by Sean Hannity who she’d like to see as the Republican Vice Presidential candidate, she said, “Top of my list is Allen West.” Yes, that’s the same unhinged Allen West who said, liberals, Democrats, President Obama and Nancy Pelosi should “get the hell out of the United States of America,” characterized Democratic support for social safety nets as “the most insidious form of slavery remaining in the world today,” and made personal attacks against Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, calling her “the most vile, unprofessional, and despicable member of the US House of Representatives.”

According to New York Daily News’ Gatecrasher (Frank Digiacomo), Fox “News” chief honcho Roger Ailes is showing concern over an upcoming Random House book about Ailes and the Fox "News" Channel currently being scribbled by New York Magazine scribe Gabriel Sherman.  Perhaps sensing the book won’t be complimentary—because Sherman has already shown a penchant for reporting truthfully on the network, News Corp. and, by extension, the Murdochs—it appears that Ailes is trying to help conservative writer Zev Chafets get his Ailes/FNC book out first by giving him inside access.  Who is Chafets?  NYDN says:
