Only yesterday I wrote about Fox legal analyst and Maltese Knight Peter Johnson Jr. and his undying loyalty to the anti-choice agenda of his Catholic Church which is fine as a personal position but not so fine when you're pushing this position on a network that is supposedly "fair & balanced." So, as the "Church Lady" would say, "isn't that special" that Johnson was back for the third installment of his "prescription for truth" regarding how the Obama administration is putting the Catholic Church in an "untenable position" over the requirement that they provide no cost contraception (a Catholic "no-no") to their employees. And funny, Catholic Cardinal Wuerl said the same thing during his Sunday interview with Chris Wallace. Do I detect a bias in favor of the Catholic Church on the "Fair & balanced" Fox News network. Oh, bless me father for I have sinned?

That Fox News is America's premier anti-abortion rights "news" network was underscored, once again, by this morning's Fox & Friends showcasing of a rabidly anti-abortion rights former Girl Scout, Sydney Volanski, who, accuses "the Girl Scouts of creating boot-stomping, sexualized radicals." Volanski's topic was the latest outrage in the right wing world; i.e. that Girl Scout literature referred readers to the evil, librul Media Matters for information on media bias. The Scouts have since removed the reference - something that both Volanski and the Daily Caller are taking credit for. But that topic only served for her soliloquy about the nefarious connections of the Girl Scouts to the ultra evil Planned Parenthood. But hey, the Fox War on Christmas is over for a year and Fox needs its culture wars which, in this case, is a war on Girl Scouts.  And this dovetails nicely with their war on Media Matters and Planned Parenthood!  Don't ya love the sweet smell of propaganda with your morning coffee.

Michele Bachmann visited The O’Reilly Factor Wednesday night (12/28/11) and made the ridiculous statement that she’s not a politician and never wants to be a politician. Of course, Bachmann is a three-term Congresswoman in the U.S. House of Representatives. Prior to that, she served in the Minnesota state senate for six years. If someone who has served in politics for 12 years and is running for president is not a politician, I don’t know who is. But guest host Eric Bolling made no comment.

O’Reilly Factor guest host, Greg Gutfeld, got in a bit of theatrical hot water last night as he baselessly accused Democrats of wanting harm for the United States in order to gain politically. Unfortunately for Gutfeld, guest Alan Colmes demanded proof which Gutfeld could not provide. It was, however, rather entertaining watching Gutfeld try - but fail - to squirm his way out of it. Finally, he resorted to changing the subject to allege that Obama’s improved polling numbers are the result of a “media lovefest.”

I know that Fox & Friends is officially a Fox "opinion" show, so it's exempt from the "fair & balanced" thing that is on the official Fox News logo. But even so, one would hope that Fox "friends" would attempt to impart some objectivity in their reporting of actual news. In the case of Fox & Friends legal analyst, Peter Johnson Jr, that doesn't seem to be the case as he is committed to promoting propaganda from an organization that he serves.

Finally, Fox News found a Democrat it likes! On Your World yesterday (12/27/11), former Virginia Democratic party chair Paul Goldman was a guest to discuss his efforts to get Newt Gingrich on the Republican primary ballot. Despite the fact that Gingrich had failed to get the needed 10,000 qualified signatures, Goldman said, "It isn't about party, it’s not about politics. It's about the right of the people to be able to choose who they want… In this case, what we have in Virginia is a real failure. There's all kinds of Republicans that feel disenfranchised…"

Fox Nation supposedly is about "civility and respect;" yet, at every opportunity, it vilifies Bill Maher, a comedian, for blaspheming against sacred right wing cows. Course when right wing jokers like Rush Limbaugh, Greg Gutfeld, Brad Stine, or Stephen Crowder engage in uncivil and disrespectful discourse aimed at Democrats and others deemed anathema to the party of God, it's all fine and dandy. And speaking of God, his other son, Tim Tebow, was the subject of an irreverent tweet from Bill Maher which, for Fox Nation, is truly blasphemous. And as Fox Nation is a wrathful nation (but very Christian), they pointed their vorpal sword at Bill Maher by referring to him (Was a lede most of the day), once again, as "Pig Maher." Not only is this not in keeping with promoting civility and respect; but it's so junior high. Who writes for Fox Nation - Beavis and Butthead? Hopefully there won't be death threats on this latest in the "Pig Maher" series.

Remember how often Fox News has complained about the left engaging in class warfare against the rich? (But pay no attention to their attacks on President Obama for being too rich.) Now, Fox News is using the same class warfare card against the Democratic former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, for staying at a "pricey" Hawaiian hotel.

Even a photo of President Obama holding a baby is an occasion for those "America lovers" at Fox Nation to come up with a way to sneer at him. The photo of a baby sticking her fingers in President Obama's mouth, taken while he was visiting a military base on Christmas, is headlined, "President Obama Eats Baby Hand." (H/T Barbara S.)

“Republican strategist” Dee Dee Benkie took part in the Great American Panel segment on Hannity Monday night (12/26/11) where she spewed falsehoods about “rampant” voter fraud in this country and made unsubstantiated accusations about Democrats trying to steal elections. Although voter fraud has been shown to be very rare, guest host Mark Steyn accepted her comments without challenge. He did not even ask her to back up her outrageous claims that Democrats are deliberately trying to steal elections.
