Cornel West, one of my all-time favorite Fox News guests, visited Hannity last night (1/11/12) to defend having said Herman Cain should get off the “symbolic crack pipe.” Of course, there’s almost nothing too bad that can be said about a liberal or even mainstream African Americans on Hannity but when it’s a conservative African American being criticized – well, that’s a whole different story.  But Hannity seems to like West and suddenly, Hannity was a vision of racial sensitivity – even if it was mostly, if not entirely for African American, conservatives. Still, you’ve got to love how West gives Hannity the straight poop yet manages to remain affable and even affectionate.

America’s News HQ hosted Brenda Buttner, of Bulls and Bears, on Sunday, January 8, 2012 to discuss Friday’s jobs report. After noting, the sectors with “good news,” she was asked what sectors lost jobs in December. “Well government is a little bit, you know, losing jobs, and that's, that’s something that we see as a positive because we want government to lose jobs to get more in line with the private sector."

On Friday's Special Report (1/6/12), the "All-Star" panel’s Lightning Round discussed the jobs numbers, then turned to the President's recess appointments because it won the online vote from viewers on what they wanted the panel to discuss. Bret Baier said, "Richard Cordray appointed. How big a deal is this? Obviously, the controversy is a legal and Constitutional one and whether the Senate was really in recess."

Republican lap dog Sean Hannity was rendered speechless and stammering last night (1/10/12) when, during a discussion about the results of the New Hampshire primary and the upcoming South Carolina primary, Republican candidate Rick Perry lit into his rival Mitt Romney in what sounded a lot like an attack that could have come from a Democrat – by savaging Romney’s record as a “vulture capitalist” at Bain Capital. Hannity sputtered but had no real response. It’s Through The Looking Glass with the GOP!

Operation Rescue is a radical anti-choice organization which has engaged in "aggressive tactics to disrupt and blockade" clinics that provide abortion. In the 80's they directed violent fury against Dr. George Tiller's Kansas City clinic and we all know how that ended. While they have moderated their tactics, they are part of the mainly GOP war on women's reproductive choice which is now heavily invested in destroying Planned Parenthood. Their newest guerilla tactic involves obtaining 911 calls from Planned Parenthood which purport to show malfeasance on the part of this organization that they so loathe. That Fox News is their media mouthpiece is shown by Fox Nation's sourcing of an Operation Rescue article which, like much of what is promoted on Fox News, is a classic example of the propaganda being used to destroy and deny reproductive choice inAmerica.

Anybody watching the primary results? Here's a place to post your thoughts, observations, opinions, etc., especially regarding the media coverage. I'll be watching Fox News, of course. What are you watching?

In yet another mockery of its own stated purpose of civility and tolerance, Fox Nation (edited by O’Reilly Factor ambush producer, Jesse Watters) distorted comments from First Lady Michelle Obama in order to suggest she’s a black racist who's upset that whites have too much power in Illinois. Sadly, the hate-mongering community of readers there pounced on the race bait Watters deliberately fed them.

Greta Van Susteren announced the big endorsement we’ve (not) been waiting for last night: Todd Palin has decided to support Newt Gingrich. That’s right, not Sarah Palin but her husband, Todd, has decided Gingrich is best. Not only that, Greta scored a personal interview for all the deets! File this one under “No Republican Cheerleading Too Trivial For Fox News” along with that Christine O’Donnell endorsement of Mitt Romney.

If ever there was proof of Fox Nation's blatant disregard for its own stated purpose of tolerance, civility and "fair and balanced coverage of the news," it's one of their latest "fired up" posts called, Is the Obama Regime Messing With the WH Visitor Logs? Calling the Obama administration the "Obama regime" is deliberately inflammatory enough but if you actually read the article, it's a blatant attempt to suggest something sinister about the Obama administration over nothing. Well, unless you think that leaving out the names of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton from an official list of attendees at a White House party in 2009 in sinister.

While Fox's "War on Christmas" is seasonal, Fox's patented "war on Christians" is ongoing because, as we all know, Merkin Christians are being persecuted at a level not seen since Nero. And as the mouthpiece for the church of the perpetually persecuted Christians, Fox & Friends is always willing to provide a pulpit from which to preach the gospel of that victimhood which, according to Jon Stewart, is "the true genius of what Fox has accomplished." Uber Christian warrior princess and veteran of the Fox "war on Christmas," Gretchen Carlson is very concerned about what the godless hordes are doing to this Christian nation. Yesterday, she did her Christian duty during her interview with the sister of mega church pastor, Joel Osteen, about the anti-Christian forces of satanic, secular darkness.
