Peter Johnson Jr. Enlists Homophobic Pastor For Attack On Atheists Who Are Attacking Christianity!
The hypocrisy of Fox News is nowhere more evident in their double standard regarding religious free speech. While there is much whining about how Christian free speech is being attacked, Fox has no qualms about atheists who use their First Amendment rights to put up signs expressing their beliefs. Last year, Fox was aglow with holiday hatred directed towards the atheists who put up a sign in Times Square. This year, Fox is putting Christ back into Christmas, as well as reinforcing its atheists-are-scum message, by attacking atheists who put up billboards in support of "closet atheists" who feel pressured to attend religious services at Christmas. But in a brilliant propaganda tour de force, Fox & Friends is claiming that the signs are attacking Jesus and, of course, Christianity itself! That's not true - but then this is Fox & Friends!
Read moreJeanine Pirro’s Unhinged Racial Attack On Obama Over Ferguson And Eric Garner
Fox host Jeanine Pirro seized on the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner as her latest excuse for an unhinged rant against President Obama. This time, she accused Obama of only caring about African Americans and suggested that he has such a racial chip on his shoulder that he supported the looting in Ferguson. WARNING: Not for the faint of heart.
Read moreHuckabee Smears Garner As A ‘Petty Street Criminal’
Mike Huckabee didn’t just suggest that the killing of Eric Garner by the police was no biggie, he completely ignored, or else never got in the first place, why Americans became so enraged that they took to the streets across the country Huckabee topped it off with a round of race baiting against our African American president by painting him a welfare king. It was all part of what looked a lot more like a campaign stump speech than news.
Read moreAndrea Tantaros Blames New York Mayor de Blasio For Eric Garner’s Death
Yesterday, Fox’s Andrea Tantaros took the right-wing talking point that cigarette taxes are to blame for Eric Garner’s death and made it a twofer by using it to smear New York City’s Democratic mayor, Bill de Blasio. While she was at it, Tantaros took a swipe at progressives, too.
Read moreConvicted Felon Bernard Kerik Says Eric Garner To Blame For His Death, Martha MacCallum Agrees
As part of its "fair & balanced" news coverage, Fox rovides warm and supportive rehab for right wingers who say stupid stuff such as Ann Coulter's "joke" about killing John McCain's daughter Mitt Romney's "binders full of women" comment. So it's not surprising that Fox, as the defender of white America, would be providing the same service for white police officers whose actions are, uh, highly questionable. Thus, we had Elisabeth Hasselbeck providing a sympathetic view of former officer Darren Wilson. And now that the NY City police are under scrutiny for the death of Eric Garner, Fox is providing some affirmation from disgraced former police commissioner, Bernard Kerik who made his second Fox appearance, on today's America's Newsroom, where he and alleged straight news host Martha MacCallum spun the faux Fox narrative that Eric Garner wouldn't have died if he hadn't "resisted arrest."
Read moreMegyn Kelly ‘Forgets’ To Mention That Her Cop-Defending Garner Guest Is A Convicted Felon
In a discussion about the death of Eric Garner with former police commissioner Bernard Kerik, Megyn Kelly told the audience that Garner is a “convicted felon.” But she failed to mention that Kerik is, too. Instead, she referred to him as a decorated officer.
Read moreLaura Ingraham Lectures Minorities On Their Bad Behavior Because Obama Won't!
Like the satiric Steven Colbert character, the very real Laura Ingraham doesn't see color. Despite the very real evidence of systemic racism in our society, Ingraham, who exudes white privilege, thinks that racial relations are just dandy - and if they're not it's because of Obama and, of course, black people who don't know their place because they are still enslaved by Democrats. On Tuesday's Fox & Friends, Ingraham, along with her friends, played the Fox racist dog whistle loud and clear in blaming minorities for their problems and, for added racist pleasure, attacking the president for not blaming them! Funny, when Christians complain about alleged mistreatment, Fox & Friends has a totally different take on who's being victimized!
Read moreRudy Giuliani: It’s Too Difficult For Most Blacks To Take Responsibility
Predictably, Rudy Giuliani seized on the Eric Garner case as yet another opportunity to malign African Americans. This time, Giuliani announced that the reason blacks are angry at the police instead of themselves is because “it’s too difficult for them” to take responsibility. Then he suggested that he has done way more for the black community than any civil rights figure.
Read moreHannity Should Be Fired For His Disrespectful And Bigoted Treatment Of Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton
If you have any doubt that Sean Hannity is a bigot whose only interest in the Eric Garner or Ferguson case is how he can denigrate African Americans, check out his hideous behavior toward Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton as she tried to explain her position on the issues raised in the police killings of unarmed Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Called Out On Her Racial Bias In Garner Case
Megyn Kelly looked more like a prosecuting attorney than a “straight news anchor” as she hostilely “cross examined” her African American guest about why the Garner and Ferguson cases have anything to do with race. And demanded to know why African Americans aren’t protesting black-on-black crime instead. When guest Marc Morial called her out on her bias, Kelly laughably insisted, “I’m open minded!”
