Bill O’Reilly War On Beyoncé: Time 100 Edition
Bill O’Reilly has a new excuse to attack Beyoncé and also take a shot at the media at the same time: Time Magazine’s decision to put Beyoncé on its cover of the 100 most influential people in the world issue. It’s hard to know why O’Reilly would disagree with the influential part. He keeps painting Beyoncé as almost singlehandedly leading the young women of America down a road of debauched, irresponsible sexuality.

In case you missed it, LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling was caught by TMZ in a shocking racial rant two days ago. Now that Fox Nation has gotten around to covering it, guess what they are emphasizing? That he's a donor to Democrats.
Read moreO’Reilly Compares Cliven Bundy To Christie’s Bridgegate
Savvy Fox News watchers caught Bill O’Reilly’s scathing jabs at his colleagues’ championing of Cliven Bundy Friday night. But O’Reilly also whitewashed Fox’s fawning coverage of Bundy by saying there had been “a wide variety of opinion expressed in a vibrant way.” Furthermore, O’Reilly camouflaged his criticism of Fox by accusing CNN’s Brian Stelter of dishonesty and worse – and suggesting that Fox’s Bundy coverage was no different than MSNBC’s coverage of Chris Christie’s Bridgegate.
Read moreBundy Supporter's Plan To Have Women Shot First Wins Our Most Outrageous Quote Poll
Cliven Bundy supporter Richard Mack won our Fox News Outrageous Quote of the Week poll last week. Mack had quite a bit of Fox News outrageousness as competition but our readers voted his admission about "strategizing" for an armed conflict with federal agents the most outrageous. UPDATED
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: Alleged Incident Suggests 'Attack On Christianity In Our Schools'
In the alternate reality of Fox News, Christianity is constantly under attack. When a Christian alleges that their First Amendment "free speech" rights are being violated, Fox validates their complaints as examples of attacks on Christianity. Allegations of violations, by Christians, of the First Amendment's "establishment clause" are not given the same warm support; but rather treated as - wait for it - attacks on Christianity. Fox is so desperate to prove that Christianity is being besieged by the forces of satanic secularism that, as shown on this morning's Fox & Friends, they established an allegation of anti-Christian bias when none has been proven. And in addition to promoting the patented Fox persecuted Christian meme, they also hit the patented Fox disdain of public education which hates Jesus and free speech. A propagandapalooza.
Read more'The Five' Attacks 'Pure Evil' Josie Cunningham For Contemplating Abortion
Those who wage war on women rail against charges that because they that they seek to control women by not only curtailing access to abortion, but shaming those who, for whatever reason, seek to terminate a pregnancy. But it's just not those outside abortion clinics, many of them carrying Christian signs and accessories, screaming about how those entering the clinic are "killing their babies." Those on Fox's unapologetic "pro-life" afternoon show, The Five, are also engaging in the same kind of woman shaming. Earlier this week, the show's nice pro-life Christians advanced (again) the newest "pro-life" outrage in launching a full scaled attack on a controversial British model who contemplated terminating her pregnancy as a career move. While her comments have, understandably, gotten some traction, The Five has taken it national with a hefty dose of slut shaming.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Joins In Mikey Weinstein Smear Fest
Fox News provides a warm and sympathetic pulpit for Christians who feel that their First Amendment rights are being violated. But those who push back against what they feel are violations of the First Amendment's "establishment clause," by overzealous Christians, are targets of Fox's opprobrium. Mikey Weinstein, who is head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, seems to have replaced Cindy Sheehan as Fox's number one persona non grata because of his advocacy for those, in the military, who feel that their religious freedom is being violated by those with religious agendas. Last year, Megyn Kelly, during a sneering interview with Weinstein, suggested that his group put Christian religious liberty "at risk." Thursday night, she hosted Dr. and Mrs. James Dobson for a sweet, Christian attack on Weinstein who wasn't there to defend himself. So much for Kelly's claim to be "fair & balanced."
Read moreWhy Fox News Almost Certainly Knew That Cliven Bundy Was A Nutjob Before His Racist Comments Were Published By The NY Times
An article in yesterday's Esquire asks the question early on, "Exactly how difficult was it, though, to determine pretty early on that (Cliven) Bundy and his followers were using the threat of force to back up some terrifyingly misguided beliefs?" The answer is pretty obvious soon thereafter. If anything, the tough thing would have been to miss it. And yet, despite having at least two reporters on scene and nightly chats between Bundy and host Sean Hannity, Fox somehow kept portraying Bundy as a modern-day Gandhi or Thoreau.
Read moreO’Reilly To African American Democrat: Cliven Bundy And You Would Be Friends
It’s been clear from the start that O’Reilly was never a Cliven Bundy fan. But now that Bundy has been completely discredited as a racist – instead of just a lawbreaking America hater – O’Reilly feels sorry for the guy. Not only that, O’Reilly thinks Bundy is just ignorant and not really a racist. To top it all off, O’Reilly told his African American guest, Democrat Basil Smikle, that he and Bundy would be friends if only Smikle would give him a chance. Seriously.
