Cavuto: I'm Beginning Not To Recognize The U.S.
Neil Cavuto fear mongered about the state of the country - with a litany of worries about taxes, universal health care, not enough cutting, etc. It left me worried about what kind of country he'd like to make us into, in the name of "restoring" it.
Read moreNeil Cavuto: I Just Don’t Think Obama Likes Wealthy People
On July 17, 2012, Your World with Neil Cavuto talked with a Democrat Fox could like, someone who supports President Obama but thinks the rich already pay their fair share – and was willing to criticize him over it. R. Donahue Peebles, of the President’s National Finance Committee, said, “The messaging coming out from the Democratic side tends to be a criticism somewhat of wealth or wealth creators, and so what that does is it kind of penalizes or makes people uncomfortable with being successful or wealthy.”
Read moreNeil Cavuto Wonders Why Mitt Romney’s Olympics Comments Were News
Just in time to get Mitt Romney out of his foot-in-mouth mess in England, Neil Cavuto trotted out international security expert Aaron Cohen (who so happens to have a book published by another News Corporation subsidiary) to say Romney was quite right in his doubt and concern about whether England was adequately prepared for the Olympics. Cavuto was so onboard with the threat level, he said he couldn’t understand why there had been any fuss about Romney’s comments in the first place.
Read moreBill O'Reilly & Laura Ingraham Whitewash Chick-fil-A's Homophobia
After the president of the chicken chain, "Chick-fil-A," Dan Cathy, made a recent comment in support of "traditional marriage," there has been "a firestorm of public debate." Those who support gay rights are supporting a boycott. The mayors of Boston and Chicago have expressed the desire for this restaurant to stay out of their cities. The Christian right, in making it a sacred cause, are stuffing as much Chick-fil-A down their copious gullets as they possible can. Even the Muppets are involved. Not surprisingly, as the media mouthpiece for the Christian right, Fox News is stepping into the imbroglio. As reported by News Hounds Ellen, Mike Huckabee is crusading for Chick-fil-A. And On last night's "Factor," Bill O'Reilly and Laura Ingraham dissed those who are dissing Chick-fil-A because saying that gay marriage is inviting God's wrath is no big deal. And in their attempt to defend Mr. Cathy, they left out some inconvenient truths regarding the extent of his homophobia. No spin zone, indeed!
Read moreFox News Goes Ugly-American At The Prospect of Dipping the Flag
No, the US Olympic Team will not dip the flag to the Queen of England and other dignitaries at the opening ceremonies: but even the hint that it might occasioned another Outrage Piece from Fox’s culture warrior Todd Starnes. An hour later Fox News had made it the leading headline on their Web site.
Read moreMike Huckabee's Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day
Some things are just predictable- Death, Taxes, The Tides and Mike Huckabee’s endorsement of homophobia. He’s actually slated a Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day for the first of August. Naturally, that received the approval of the franchise’s founder, Truett Cathy, on the last Huckabee show (video after the jump).
Read moreBill O'Reilly Very Concerned About Mitt Romney's Likeability - Or Lack Thereof
As Mitt Romney bombed in England, Bill O'Reilly held a chat with John Sununu, a Romney surrogate, about the Republican candidate's dismal likeability ratings. Not that they brought up any of his stunning gaffes that led the British press to characterize him as "worse than Sarah Palin." No, O'Reilly and Sununu kept their discussion to a recent poll that found Romney's likeability ratings in the tank at 30% - with President Obama's at 60%. "Independent" O'Reilly acknowledged that that's a problem for Romney and asked Sununu what could be done. Which is pretty funny given how most everyone (except on Fox) was thinking yesterday about what Romney should not be doing.
Read moreCharles Krauthammer Runs Out Of Adjectives Slamming Romney's 'Olympics' Gaffe
Chalk up Charles Krauthammer as an exception to the gang of Fox News clean-up crew disappearing or doing their best to spin Mitt Romney's gaffe-filled visit to England. OK, so Krauthammer only focused on Romney's comments about the Olympics - and left out the gaffe about meeting the head of MI6 and seeming to forget the name of Labour Leader Ed Miliband. Still, it was a stunning rebuke, especially on Fox.
Read moreJon Stewart Lambastes Fox News' Dishonest Spin On Obama's Small Business Remarks
Once again, Jon Stewart takes down Fox better than just about any so-called Democratic strategist who appears on the "fair and balanced" network. "Can you get more manipulative?" he asks about Fox's deceptive exploitation of President Obama's "you didn't build this" remarks. Sadly, Stewart immediately proves that the answer is, "Yes."
Read moreFox News Disappears Romney’s Gaffes In England
Mitt Romney is in England – supposedly advancing his foreign policy cred – and yet he keeps putting his foot in his mouth. Less than 48 hours into his visit, he insulted the British by questioning whether they are up to hosting the Olympics. He also appeared to forget the name of Labour Leader Ed Miliband and he improperly boasted about meeting the head of MI6. And that’s not counting the report that his adviser told the Telegraph that President Obama didn’t “fully appreciate” the “Anglo-Saxon heritage” shared by Britain and the U.S. But judging from the home page of FoxNews.com or Fox Nation, none of those things ever happened.
