Megyn Kelly's Hypocrisy: Rush Limbaugh Vs. Martin Bashir, Sandra Fluke Vs. Sarah Palin
Rush Limbaugh is a misogynist with a history of ugly commentary regarding women which reached its nadir with his three day diatribe against Sandra Fluke whom he classified as a "slut" who needed lots of birth control pills because she has so much sex. He recently compared filibuster reform to rape. Not only has Fox News' Megyn Kelly has never called him out on it; but she joined in the Fluke attacks and slut shaming. But when MSNBC's Martin Bashir, in reacting to Sarah Palin's ludicrous comparison of the national debt to slavery, spoke about the horrors of slavery and, inappropriately, suggested that Ms. Palin be subjected to a particularly cruel and crude punishment, Kelly had no problem attacking Bashir. Can we say "double standard?!"
Read moreWatch: Chris Wallace Can't Stand Liberal Opinions About ObamaCare
Fox News Sunday hosted a debate about the Affordable Care Act yesterday. But you didn't need any introduction from host Chris Wallace to figure out which person was the supporter, which one was against ObamaCare.

Read moreMike Huckabee Attacks Patriotism Of NJ Residents Who Complained About National Anthem Volume
Last week, the gang on the Fox & Friends curvy couch said that they were "up in arms" about how some residents, who lived near a NJ Naval Weapons Station, had the audacity to complain about the volume of the National Anthem which is played at the base during the morning flag raising ceremony. Not to be outdone in the phony patriotism department, Mike Huckabee, castigated those same residents who, according to Huckabee, should be thankful for the "sounds of freedom." You just can't make this stuff up - oh, wait a minute, this is Fox News where TV is reality. Never mind.
Read moreFox News Helps Walmart Argue Against Raising Wages
On yesterday’s Bulls and Bears, the panel discussed Black Friday protests at Wal-Mart stores over low wages. Not surprisingly, the “fair and balanced” panel was mostly on the side of Wal-Mart. Host Brenda Buttner seemed to get all her “facts” from a Wal-Mart press release. Her opening “question,’ which she asked twice, was whether or not the fight was really about “wage rage” or about “trying to boost union membership.”

Read moreArt Laffer: People Will Get Too Much Health Care Under ObamaCare
We can chalk up Fox News regular Art Laffer as another in the “We can’t have EVERYONE getting health care!” camp along with Fox’s Dr. Marc Siegel. Laffer told a friendly, unquestioning Stuart Varney, that the Affordable Care Act (“ObamaCare”) would cause people to “over consume” their health benefits and “have everyone gaming the system.”
