Jon Stewart Destroys Fox News Sanctimoniousness Over ObamaCare Problems
Last week, Jon Stewart got right to the heart of Fox News' dishonesty and hypocrisy over their non-stop concern for people who are now having trouble with the ObamaCare roll-out. With some great laughs at Fox News' expense, Stewart caught host Eric Bolling calling the uninsured merely a "handful of people" in 2011. Stewart said, "Just a handful of millions of people." He added, "But I guess back then, you were OK because if you liked not having a doctor, you got to keep not having a doctor." Touché.

Chris Christie visited four out of the five Sunday talk shows today. Fresh off his landslide re-election as Republican governor of New Jersey, the New York Daily News described Christie's appearances as "what many pundits assumed was an early national media blitz ahead of a 2016 bid." Even though, as the Daily News also noted, Christie refused to say whether or not he will run for president or serve out his four-year term as governor. However, that didn't stop Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace from holding a "lightning round" to showcase Christie's views on the - oh, off chance he'll be a presidential candidate in 2016.
Read moreFox & Friends Promotes Wussification Fighting, Toy Gun Loving 'Mommy Blogger'
Given that the Fox News males aren't exactly "Chippendale" material (ladies, amiright?), Fox's fight against "wussification" of American men seems a little odd. But the manly Roger Ailes (just kidding) has decided that "political correctness," an ongoing Fox meme, has America's men by the balls. The "wussification" thing seems to have started, on Fox when conservative Christian "comic" Brad Stine set the stage, on Fox & Friends, for yet another faux, Fox "controversy." This year, the testosterone infused Eric Bolling, who thought the Golden Globes were "too feminized," and Sean Hannity determined that a basketball coach's abusive behavior was just fine because it was done to fight "wussification." Bolling objected to girls playing high school football because, wussification. And now that a "mommy blogger," is raising her boys to be real men, Fox & Friends is on it because political correctness and - ready for it - wussification!
Read moreFox News Mailbag – November 9, 2013 Edition
It’s time for our weekly peek into the minds of Fox News viewers via a glimpse at the batch of emails they have sent us – thinking that we are Fox News – this week. Our latest sampling includes, not surprisingly, a lot of emails about The Affordable Care Act, (“ObamaCare”) and even includes a misguided liberal. But we've got mail about the troops purportedly not getting fed properly, complaints there are too many Democrats on Fox and suggestions for a show. So Fox News snoops (and we know you're out there), these emails are for you.
Read moreKimberly Guilfoyle Got Spanked? But Not As Punishment?
Last week I reported on Eric Bolling's troublingly fond reminiscence of how an assault, perpetrated on him by a high school gym teacher, made him a better person. What I forgot to mention was that Kimberly Guilfoyle also said something rather interesting during the discussion of corporal punishment. After Bob Beckel asked Guilfoyle if she, as a parent, used a paddle, "for punishment," she paused. Dana Perino asked "why do you have to think so hard." Guilfoyle's coy response: "What I'm saying is I have never been spanked for disciplinary reasons." Everyone laughed. Hmmm... That's what she said....Hopefully Bill O'Reilly wasn't watching...!!!

Dr. Marc Siegel Wins Our Outrageous Quote Of The Week Poll

Read moreMindreader Bill O’Reilly 'Reveals' President Obama’s Secret Plan To Destroy Your Health Insurance
Bill O’Reilly reached new levels of despicable two nights ago when he proclaimed himself some kind of champion of truth while letting forth a slew of anti-Obama supposition. Without offering anything that could be considered as real evidence, O'Reilly announced that President Obama has some kind of covert plan to destroy everyone’s health insurance so that he can take it over and enact a single-payer system instead. I guess proof is for little people.
Read moreFox News: Better People Should Die Than Trans Fats Get Banned
Neil Cavuto opened yesterday’s Your World by scaring people into believing banning trans fats is bad. “Microwave popcorn with extra butter, getting popped. A whipping for those with frostings. And frozen pizzas, stick them in the deep freeze. Don’t laugh, it just might happen. Because now Uncle Sam is poking his nose in everybody’s kitchen. This is big. Welcome everybody, I’m Neil Cavuto, and food for thought the government looking to take my frozen pizza and other goodies away. Say it ain’t so!”
Read moreMegyn Kelly’s Phony ObamaCare Victim Doesn’t Need To Die
Last night, Megyn Kelly interviewed Bill Elliott, a cancer patient who actually announced on the air that he planned to let himself die rather than burden his family with the medical bills he thinks ObamaCare is going to cause. But, apparently, Elliott is another in a long line of ObamaCare "victims" that Fox never bothered to investigate whether they needed to suffer the way they say. Fortunately for truth lovers, and possibly Mr. Elliott, Tommy Christopher, at Mediaite, did the work that The Kelly File should have. And the news is good for Elliott.
Read moreJohn Stossel Upset Poor People Can’t Sell Their Kidneys And Other Organs
While Fox relentlessly attacks food stamps as some kind of evil, maybe they think the poor should make up the shortfall by selling their organs. That’s certainly what John Stossel seemed to suggest on Fox & Friends this morning when he argued for the privatization of organ donation – and ignored its disproportionate impact on the poor.
