Chrish Shares Her Thoughts On Our 10th Anniversary
It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that it's been ten years since Outfoxed premiered and News Hounds launched. So much has changed, and yet the antics at FOX continue!
Read moreMarie Therese Looks Ahead With A Nod To The Past
Marie Therese shares her thoughts about the 10th anniversary of Outfoxed and NewsHounds - with some reminiscing about how we tried to warn John Kerry and the Democrats about the Swift Boat campaign.
When Ellen emailed to say that this month is the 10th anniversary of the inception of the NewsHounds blog, I have to admit it caught me by surprise. Ten years? It can’t be! After the shock wore off, I found myself reminiscing about the serendipity that eventually led eight dedicated women to first volunteer to do research for the documentary OUTFOXED and then to start a blog whose sole purpose was (and is) alerting the public to the fact the FOX News is anything but a news channel.

Jesse Watters insists he meant no disrespect with his comments about Hillary Clinton going for 'Beyoncé voters' when she criticized the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruing. But our readers seem to think otherwise. It was a close race but Watters eked out a win of our Fox News Outrageous Quote of the Week poll.
Read moreThoughts From News Hound Judy On Our 10th Anniversary
I reached out to the original News Hounds for their thoughts on the 10th anniversary of Outfoxed and NewsHounds. Here's what Judy wrote:
Outfoxed was a break-through documentary that changed forever how people think about Fox News. When I first started watching Fox News in a systematic way, I had no idea of the right-wing agenda that drove its coverage. It had been just another cablenews network for me. Can you imagine what the world of politics would be like today had the film never been made?
Read moreHappy 10th Anniversary Outfoxed And NewsHounds!
Can you believe it has been 10 years since “Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s war on journalism” premiered? You may think that Fox’s bias has always been common knowledge but it was that documentary that brought it front and center and forever shattered Fox’s “fair and balanced” mantra. I and the other original News Hounds are proud to have been a part of the effort. Our friends at Brave New Films, which produced Outfoxed, have put together a video honoring this groundbreaking film. Check it out (and you can even see me a time or two) after the jump.
Read moreTucker Carlson Insults Toni Morrison During Race Baiting Whine About College Liberal Bias
Last Sunday, Carlson hosted "Young American Foundation" spokeswoman Ashley Pratte for yet another whine about liberal bias on our campuses. (Right, this is on the "fair & balanced" Fox News). The latest example of conservative victimhood centers around how, according to Pratte, college reading lists don't OMG include conservative books and, even worse, include liberal books in which characters of color aren't suitably appreciative of white people. What wasn't notable was the discussion which was of the standard ain't those liberals awful variety. What was notable were Carlson's insulting comments, delivered with a smile, about celebrated author Toni Morrison.
Read moreGreta Van Susteren Back On The Job As Obama Vacation Police
It’s Obama vacation time - which means one thing at Fox News: yet another excuse to throw a hissy fit. Fox’s prime time vacation detective, Greta Van Susteren, is already back to work, sifting through the evidence for reasons to drum up outrage. This time, she had a snarky video to help the cause.
Read moreThe Kelly File Promotes Extremist Stockman’s Call To Arrest Lois Lerner
Extremist Rep. Steve Stockman wants the U.S. Congress to send its Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Lois Lerner, the focal person of the Republicans’ IRS scandal and one of the pegs on which they hang their impeachment hopes. Megyn Kelly distanced herself from the idea and even gently made fun of it when Stockman appeared on her show tonight. But she presented him as a mainstream Republican and never told the “we report, you decide” viewers some facts that might have had them laughing at Stockman more overtly.
Read moreBernard Goldberg Slams Palin’s ‘Beyond Terrible’ Impeachment Proposal
Fox’s Bernard Goldberg attacked Sarah Palin’s push to impeach President Obama by calling it a “crazy idea” that would “destroy the Republican party.” And more.
Read moreSteve Doocy Promotes Anti-Choice Meme Of Pro-Choice Violence
When women's health clinics are attacked by anti-choice zealots, such as the Montana abortion clinic that was recently forced to close after having been vandalized by an anti-choice activist, Fox & Friends ignores it. When crazed anti-choicers get sentenced to 10 years in prison for plotting to shoot up Planned Parenthood clinics, Fox & Friends ignores it. But when an anti-choice protestor gets hassled, Fox & Friends takes notice. This morning, Steve Doocy hosted two members of a radical anti-choice group, Created Equal who are known for their grisly signs of aborted fetuses. This week, a couple of their members were accosted by a woman who was charged with assault and criminal damaging - a martyrdom story all the rage in anti-choice circles with the meme being that it's pro-choicers who are violent. So as the morning media mouthpiece for those who are waging a war on reproductive choice, it's not surprising that Fox & Friends is pimping that very meme!
