On America Live: Lou Dobbs Blames Baker's Union For Hostess Demise
Fox & Friends is considered a Fox "opinion" show that is absolved from being "fair & balanced." So you can understand why Fox "friend," Peter Johnson Jr., would interview an anti-union activist to blame unions for the demise of the Hostess Brands. But given that "America Live" show is supposed to be "real news, fair & balanced," you'd expect that a discussion of the Hostess situation would be done in a fair & balanced way which might include a spokesperson for the union rather than a right wing Fox hack. Actually, I'm being facetious because, given the partisan bias of Megyn Kelly, what you would expect is pure partisan hackery which is what was advanced on Monday's show during which the ever objective (hahahahaha) Lou Dobbs, during a discussion of the Twinkies company passing, blamed the baker's union. And in what was an unexpected treat, Ms. Kelly compared herself to the black & white cookie. True story.
Read moreHannity and North Use Middle East Tensions To Prop Up Their Call for Action on Iran
The good news is that Sean Hannity stopped harping on “Benghazi-gate.” The bad news is that the latest outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East has got him lambasting Obama for appeasing and denying terrorism and not giving Israel his full-hearted support. On Monday night, when it looked like Israel was launching a ground offensive in Gaza, he brought super-hawk Oliver North onto the show to help him with the lambasting. North is busy promoting his Brand New Book, “Heroes Proved,” a novel in which a President claims the US is safe from terror and oh boy is he proved wrong. “Scary about how real life it is,” mused Hannity.
Read moreMegyn Kelly's Latest Excuse To Race Bait: Susan Rice
Megyn Kelly has discussed at least three times the “question” about whether or not Republican attacks on U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice are, as Kelly said with overt incredulity, “racially charged.” Although Kelly made a rather unconvincing stab at balance in the debate she moderated on the subject yesterday - with two white guys - the bigger question here is not Rice and race but why this would be considered such an important topic? Given how Kelly presented the question, it’s pretty clear that her real goal was to suggest that those questioning the racial motivations of attacks on Rice were playing the race card and looking for preferences. Coincidentally, that is a "question" Kelly has repeatedly raised about African Americans.
Read moreBill O’Reilly Reveals He Thinks People Of Color Are Weakening The Country
Poor Bill O’Reilly just can’t understand why people have been calling him a racist. I mean, just because he thinks people of color are moochers who elected President Obama because he’s willing to give them “stuff,” well, that’s just telling the truth, O’Reilly insists. Tonight, in yet another iteration of his “Obama supporters are not the traditional (white) Americans but just want stuff” Talking Points, he let it be known that these people of color non-traditional Americans are an actual threat to the country's well being.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Thinks Atheists Are Ruining Christmas?
Despite the court decision which ruled that the city of Santa Monica is within it's rights to no longer host a holiday display that includes a Nativity scene, the baby Jesus must be very happy with Fox News. Yesterday, what Peter Johnson Jr. described as the "first salvo in the War on Christmas" was discussed on Fox & Friends and the alleged Fox "news" show, Happening Now during which Jon Scott whined about evil atheists trying to "squelch holiday fun." Not to be outdone, decorated general in the War on Christmas, Bill O'Reilly got on board with some atheist bashing during the "Rolling with Carolla" segment on the Factor. God bless ye merry gentlemen?
Read moreAfter Offending Republicans, Chris Christie Calls Rupert Murdoch For Rehab
There's an interesting article in yesterday's New York Times about Republican backlash against NJ Governor Chris Christie for putting concerns for his state over his party. But what most striking were the lede paragraphs in which Christie calls "king maker" Rupert Murdoch as a crucial part of his political recovery work.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Laughs While Adam Carolla Smears Lakotas & Victoria's Secret Models
In addition to providing a national platform for his "contemptuous" and "contemptible" world view, O'Reilly has no problem providing his guests with a platform for their truly disgusting views. Such seems to be the case with "comedian" Adam Carolla who now has a weekly Factor segment during which he spews some really hateful stuff such as when he compared the HHS birth control policy to getting free beer. But last night, during his vile smear of Native Americans and Victoria's Secret models, he really went over the edge while Bill (and his production crew) laughed uproariously and showed lots of Victoria's Secret footage which, for Bill and his male audience, is about as good as it gets, if you catch my drift.
Read moreBill O’Reilly Hits Back At Jon Stewart’s ‘End Of Traditional America’ Takedown
Last week, Jon Stewart skewered Bill O’Reilly’s and Mitt Romney’s attacks on Obama voters and especially lampooned O’Reilly’s “end of traditional America” comments on the night of the election. Although ultimately Stewart’s ridiculing was laced with kindness, it concluded with a hilariously ridiculous graphic of O’Reilly in a headdress. That must have hurt O’Reilly’s tender feelings – already smarting from a scathing Washington Post editorial. So despite having defended his comments earlier in the show, he rallied to his own defense again later, in the Reality Check, segment – this time hitting back at “obtuse” Stewart and the “pinheads” at Comedy Central.
Read moreJon Scott Asks Why Atheists Have Right To 'Squelch Holiday Fun'
The bogus Fox News War on Christmas is not being fought just in the trenches of Fox News "opinion," but in the alleged fair & balanced trenches of their "real journalism." Yesterday, Fox & Friends, the morning happy-talk show that Ailes uses as one of his primary vehicles to inject his venom into the media bloodstream," injected some of Fox's annual War on Christmas venom into the Fox bloodstream where it circulated over to "Happening Now" which is part of Fox's official "news" line up; and, as such, is, supposedly, subject to the Fox oxymoronic slogan and logo, "Fox News, Fair & Balanced." But alleged "news" anchor, Jon Scott, was hardly a dispassionate journalist in his moderation of a discussion about nasty atheists who, in Foxworld, have put an end to the city sponsored Nativity in Santa Monica. But given that Roger Ailes fears, along with Muslims and gays, secularism, it's no surprise that the War on Christmas is a proxy war for Fox News' war on atheism.
Read moreO’Reilly: How Dare Anyone Find My Comments About People Of Color ‘Wanting Stuff’ Offensive?
Although many Republicans are abandoning Mitt Romney over his ‘gifts’ comments, Bill O’Reilly is doubling and tripling down on them. And he’s darned angry that anyone, ANYONE might think he’s a racist or anti-poor just because he said that people who voted for President Obama were people of color who “want stuff.”
