Fox News Sunday Discussion Echoes RNC's Anna Wintour Ad
What a coincidence that one of the discussions initiated by Fox News Sunday host Christ Wallace closely echoed an RNC attack ad that came out the day before! The RNC ad mocks an Obama ad featuring Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour urging viewers to enter a sweepstakes where the winner attends a fundraising dinner with Wintour, actress Sarah Jessica Parker and President and Mrs. Obama. As Wintour speaks (in the Obama ad), banners on the screen of the RNC ad highlight unemployment statistics under President Obama. Yesterday, Wallace picked up that meme and mocked the ad for making Obama look out-of-touch and elitist compared with the struggles of everyday Americans.
Read more"Devout Catholic" Michael Reagan Tells Megyn Kelly How To "Get Around" Catholic Employer Birth Control Coverage Restrictions
Megyn Kelly describes the rabidly right wing Michael Reagan as a "devout Catholic." As such, he has become quite the spokesman for the Catholic Church's lawsuits filed against the Obama administration. He joins pedophile priest defender Catholic League president, Bill Donohue as one of Megyn Kelly's go to guys for coverage of the Church's hissy fit - a coverage in which the voices of those who argue against the lawsuits and of those HHS supporting clergy, such as Sr. Carol Keehan of the Catholic Health Association and the Clergy Coalition for Choice are missing. On May 21, the divorced and remarried Reagan talked excitedly about Catholic plans to go all Saul Alinsky over the birth control policy - a tactic which, of course, is considered really nasty when done by "Occupy." He did an encore on Tuesday's "America Live" during which he and fellow divorced and remarried Catholic Megyn Kelly engaged in happy chat about their Church's militancy and changes in the Catholic mass. And as an added attraction, Reagan gave advice on "getting around" Catholic employers rules on birth control. WTF? Isn't birth control a sin....??
Read moreChris Wallace “Asks,” Is It Time For The Obama Campaign In Chicago To Panic?
I was all set to do a post praising Chris Wallace for his tough interview with Romney-advisor Ed Gillespie on yesterday's Fox News Sunday. But then I caught the panel discussion and all my props went out the window. It was little more than a thinly disguised effort to paint the Obama campaign as dysfunctional – while mostly ignoring Romney’s dance with the Birther Boy, Donald Trump.
Read moreFox Helps Advance Gov. Scott Walker’s Wisconsin Jobs Spin
On “objective” America’s News HQ today, Shannon Bream interviewed Wisconsin Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and allowed her to distort the Scott Walker administration’s rather poor record of job losses as one of job creation.
Read moreBaltimore Sun TV Critic: Fox News “Compromised” By Fox & Friends Video
David Zurawik, television critic for the Baltimore Sun, didn’t mince words about Fox News in the wake of its propagandistic anti-Obama video presented as news analysis on Fox & Friends last week. He said that Fox has been “compromised” and that he will deal with Fox “as a political organization primarily… at least through this election cycle” now.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Defends Justin Bieber In Assault Case!?
For those of you not into the latest Hollywood news, Justin Bieber has been accused of assaulting one of the paparazzi. The photographer claims that the singer hit him after he took photos of Bieber and his girlfriend. The police are investigating. But Beiber should fear not because he is being defended by a "rich and famous" fellow celebrity. Yes, folks, Bill O'Reilly, who suffered the slings and arrows of the evil press when he was accused of sexual harassment, asks, in his latest column, "is there any justice for Justin?" The column is instructive and amusing as it underscores bully Bill's hypocrisy. While rationalizing what could be bullying behavior on the part of Bieber, bully Bill attacks an unknown "Occupy" protester for doing, apparently, what Bill's paid stalker, Jesse T Watters does all the time. And while Bill's kinky "Caribbean Shower" fantasies are public record, this column reveals that Bill also has no problem with fantasies involving violence. Paging Dr. Ablow?
Read moreFox’s Bill Hemmer Offers Campaign Suggestions To Mitt Romney Re His Faith
Part Two of Bill Hemmer’s “Let’s help boost Mitt Romney’s Likeability” in the form of an “exclusive interview” aired on America’s Newsroom Thursday (5/31/12). This one focused on “faith and family,” as FoxNews.com said in its title. But probably aware of Americans’ significant skepticism about the Mormon religion, Hemmer did his part for the cause and suggested that Romney emulate Barack Obama’s strategy for dealing with the subject.

Read moreMartha MacCallum Says Most Italian Business Are Corrupt?
Ya gotta love it. Martha MacCallum is an alleged "news" anchor or an alleged Fox "news" show. Not only does she defend GOP talking points; but she makes baseless pronouncements on business ethics in foreign countries. This week, she and Roger Ailes boy toy Fox religion analyst. Fr. Jonathan Morris discussed the Vatican leak scandal which now includes the arrest of Il Papa Benedict's butler. After Morris referenced Vatican corruption, MacCallum tried to establish moral equivalency between the Vatican and the Italian business community. She said that "there's a history of corruption, all truth be told, that exists in most businesses, it would seem, in Italy that there's cronyism, paying off people, you know to get business contracts..." So there you have it. Fox News says most Italian business are corrupt. Questo è un insulto? Wonder if Martha would say the same thing about American businesses? Mamma Mia...
Did Alan Colmes Hit Romney Too Hard For Fox News?
On yesterday's Happening Now, liberal Alan Colmes appeared with his conservative sister-in-law, Monica Crowley, for a debate designed to focus on Obama surrogates straying off the campaign message and/or breaking with it. But Colmes immediately took control of the debate and made it about Mitt Romney. And guess what? The segment ended suddenly, when host Jon Scott was obviously prepared for it to go longer.
