As Jon Stewart said, "conservative victimization is the true genius of what Fox News has accomplished." Topping the list of right wing victims are Christians who, despite their large numbers, are, according to Fox media, being persecuted on a daily basis - especially by evil, secular Hollywood. While Fox radio culture clubber Todd Starnes doesn't go as far as Catholic League president, Bill Donohue, who says that "Hollywood is controlled by Jews," Starnes does claim, in his Fox Nation article, that "It's no secret that Hollywood DESPISES CHRISTIANS."

Fox News Watch is a Fox “News” program that looks at how the media treats certain stories.  Oddly enough, it rarely looks at how stories are covered on Fox, which is where NewsHounds comes in.  This week Jon Scott waded into the Trayvon Martin killing and came up stupid…twice.  Which only proves that Fox “News” has never met a false equivalency it didn’t like.  [See: Rush Limbaugh/Bill Maher, et al]

Geraldo Rivera hosted Trayvon Martin’s parents on Geraldo At Large last night. He offered his “deepest apologies” to them for his comments that blamed Trayvon Martin’s hoodie “as much” for Trayvon’s death as shooter George Zimmerman. Updated with video of complete segment.

Once again, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace showed his pro-Romney bias. In a promo for today’s show, he described a debate between Republican Haley Barbour and Democrat Howard Dean as a “preview of what an Obama/Romney campaign might sound like.” But Wallace also may have hinted, most likely inadvertently, he thinks Romney will lose because in a separate interview with Rick Santorum, he suggested Santorum should give up the race now and run again in 2016.

If the sincerest form of flattery is imitation, Fox “News” must be pleased as punch that MSNBC has taken the round table idea of The Five—still the worst show on Fox “News,” if not all of tee vee—and perfected it in two different 2-hour shows on weekend mornings, “Up With Chris Hayes” and “Melissa Harris-Perry” at 8am and 10am respectively.  These shows are examples of what The Five could be if only Fox “News” didn’t start with the assumption that it is broadcasting to the lowest common denominator. 

On Friday night's "Factor," Bill O'Reilly lambasted media coverage of the Trayvon Martin case on those networks that he deems anathema. He discussed the issue with Mike Huckabee and in his "Talking Points." He warned that librul media coverage, which brings up the racial elements of the story (sssh, no possible race issues here, move along), could lead to violence on the part of those who want a conviction of the shooter, George Zimmerman. (O'Reilly thinks that African Americans are incapable of self-control?). O'Reilly's accusations against the librul media bring to mind the saying about pots meeting kettles given that he's accusing them of the type of journalistic irresponsibility and possible malfeasance that he made into an art form in his crusade against abortion provider Dr. George Tiller. It's ironic that O'Reilly warns about how national television coverage could, potentially, result in violence when, in the case of Dr. Tiller, the violence took the form of the murder of Dr. Tiller. But O'Reilly did win a "Courage Award" for his efforts so it's all good.  

During a Fox & Friends segment with Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) yesterday, it’s hard to believe a single viewer missed the message that Ryan’s budget was a reason they should vote Republican.  Steve Doocy all but waved a GOP campaign banner as he called Democrats the party of “big government” and added, “If you want a party that’s making some hard choices, vote Republican.”

It's been almost three years since Sean Hannity promised to undergo waterboarding for charity. Or to put it another way, it's 2 years, 11 months and 10 days.

Last night, Sean Hannity devoted an entire segment to a quiz show where all the questions were, “Who said…” followed by a verbal gaffe. All the answers were multiple choice: George W. Bush, Sarah Palin or Barack Obama. Guess what the answer was each time? 

Leave it to Fox News to use even the Mega Millions lottery to bash President Obama. Fox Nation dug up a 2000 clip of then State Senator Barack Obama criticizing lotteries as a “regressive tax” that targets poor people to spend money they may not be able to afford. On Hannity last night, Sean Hannity called that another example of “class warfare” from President Obama. Guest James Taranto, from the Wall Street Journal, took it a step further. He waved off any concern by explaining that poor people play the lottery because they’re stupid and suggested they deserve to lose.
