The Mitt Romney Channel otherwise known as Fox News has a new excuse to denigrate Obama's killing of Osama Bin Laden: accusing him of politicizing a national security event.  It's infuriating to hear Fox News complain about anyone else politicizing anything but one big comfort is how Stephen Colbert (also Jon Stewart) can perfectly nail it, cut it down to size and make us laugh, all at the same time. 

Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers had an epic confrontation with Sean Hannity's misogynistic and racist pal, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson tonight. You may recall that Peterson was recently found on video saying “most women” are “little whores.” Believe me, that's the tip of the iceberg as far as Peterson's misogyny is concerned. He's also quite a bigot who has thanked God for slavery and compared slave ships to flying coach. Peterson responded to Powers' confrontation by doubling down on his accusations against women.

In case you didn't have enough proof that Barack Obama is a socialist, Fox Nation has generously provided you with more. Only hours after the President unveiled his new campaign slogan, "FORWARD", the Nation joined the right-wing bandwagon to scream that the word has long-standing ties to Communist and socialist causes.

Bill O'Reilly and Bernard Goldberg sat down to deliberately trash veteran newsman Dan Rather last night. Rather has a long, distinguished career in journalism but ever since he dared to report that George W. Bush went AWOL during his time in the Texas Air National Guard, he's been a GOP Fox News pariah. Even if you believe (which I do not, by the way) that Rather got his AWOL story wrong, compare the treatment of him to Andrew Breitbart and his series of discredited reports.

The screen grab from the home page of FoxNews.com pretty much says it all. President Obama's surprise visit to Afghanistan is discussed in small letters. But a headline many times larger "asks," PLAYING POLITICS WITH THE COURAGE OF OUR HEROES?" It's worth noting that, as NewsHound Alex pointed out in a comment, Shepard Smith and Studio B took a very even-handed approach to this story. But I'll bet dollars to doughnuts (as my mother used to say) that O'Reilly, Hannity and Van Susteren will follow the FoxNews.com lede.

Remember how last week Bill O'Reilly told stalker/producer Jesse Watters to cough up the video he insisted he had of Van Jones saying that Republicans want to poison children? We were supposed to see it on yesterday's Factor. Not only did we not see it, there was no explanation as to why we didn't.

Sean Hannity spent two segments on his Fox News show last night with Jose Rodriguez, the former CIA officer with a new book defending the use of “enhanced interrogations.” Predictably, Hannity was not only downright enthusiastic about the techniques, he suggested those who differ (think President Obama, who banned them) are not pro-American enough.

On yesterday’s Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace seemed to take it as a given that the Supreme Court will rule against the Obama administration in both the health care mandate and the Arizona immigration law cases. So he opened the panel discussion segment by asking “how damaging” such rulings would be to Obama’s re-election efforts.

On Saturday’s Cashin’ In (4/28/12), the top story was an EPA official’s desire to “crucify oil companies” remark, sparking an investigation. Host Cheryl Casone – who almost surely knew that super-libertarian Jonathan Hoenig would provide an inflammatory, anti-EPA  response, asked him, “Is this EPA attack on energy companies a big clue as to why gas prices are high now and they’re probably going to go up?”

Fox Nation, the website supposedly dedicated to fair and balanced coverage of the news showed just the same kind of fairness and balance as its TV network when it reported on the White House Correspondents Dinner. In an article called Kimmel Kills, President Obama's speech was completely edited out. If reading the post was your only knowledge of the dinner, you could be forgiven for not knowing Obama gave one. Also, Fox Nation kindly edited Kimmel's jab at Chris Christie's weight and Obama's devastating (but hilarious) take down of Donald Trump. Funny, both were in the original article on which Fox Nation based its post.
