Martha MacCallum Interviews Ann Romney & Advances Hilary Rosen Connection To DNC
Given that Fox News has rallied its internet and radio content around Ann Romney, it wasn't surprising to see Ms. Romney being given the opportunity to address the multitudes via Fox's morning "news" show "America's Newsroom." This morning, in addition to providing a sweet and supportive platform for Ann Romney, Martha MacCallum was able to advance the Romney/GOP/Fox meme that Hillary Rosen, whose comment about Ann Romney has become a weapon in the Romney/GOP/Fox arsenal to be used against the Democrats, is connected to the DNC. She was also able to use the interview as a campaign ad for Mitt Romney. So, it was all good....
Read moreFox News Accuses Democrats Of Attacking Ann Romney
Despite the reality that there has been an epic attack on women's reproductive rights, the notion that there just might be a GOP "war on women" is denied by the right wing and several Fox News folks. Meanwhile, one unaffiliated Democratic advisor, NOT connected to the DNC, suggested that Ann Romney isn't qualified to speak about women's economic issues because she never actually worked outside the home and all hell has broken loose with accusations by the Romney campaign and Fox News that the Democratic Party is attacking the blessed GOP holy mother Ann. Got hyperbole?

In his latest effort to defend George Zimmerman, race bait against African Americans and tie it all up in a racialized attack on the Obama administration, Sean Hannity suggested that the Obama Justice Department has willfully ignored George Zimmerman’s civil rights in favor of Trayvon Martin’s.
Read moreFoxNews.Com Erupts In Murderous Racism At George Zimmerman Charges
FoxNews.com has an article about the criminal charges entered against George Zimmerman.

Last August, the Center for American Progress put together a report, "Fear, Inc.," on what it labeled "the Islamophobia Network - "a patchwork of scholars, foundations, and opinion-makers that has propagated negative impressions of Islam and Muslims in the United States." One of the groups cited in the report is the Center for Security Policy which is described as one of the “key think tanks led by scholars who are primarily responsible for orchestrating the majority of anti-Islam messages polluting our national discourse today." It is funded by right wing donors and headed by the Islamophobic Frank Gaffney, a "misinformation expert," who has a veritable cottage industry that manufactures fear of creeping sharia. His group was in the forefront of opposition to the "Ground Zero Mosque" - an opposition for whom Fox News provided an Islamophobic "megaphone." So was it merely a coincidence that Fox's Roger Ailes won their "Pen is Mightier than the Sword Award?"

Memo to George Zimmerman: If you’re trying to show the world you’re not a racist, you might not want to pal around with Sean Hannity. Unfortunately for Zimmerman, he seems more interested in Hannity’s advice than that of his own attorneys. After a phone call with Hannity about which he said they “spoke on the phone about his case, and I agreed not to report on the contents of that conversation,” Zimmerman’s attorneys resigned. They cited that phone call as one of the reasons.
