Sean Hannity made sure nobody enjoyed too much of President and First Lady Obama's inaugural dance last night, even though the balls are considered so significant that the Smithsonian collects the First Ladies' gowns. But on Fox News, Sean Hannity's predictable tirade against President Obama trumped the ceremony. He interrupted coverage of the inaugural dance in order to accuse President Obama of divisiveness.

Yesterday was the celebration for President Obama’s second inauguration. He gave an address, there was a parade, a big Congressional luncheon and then some balls. Yet Your World “honored” the day without a single Democrat on its show.

On Sunday, Fox's resident priest, Fr. Jonathan Morris used part of his weekly Fox & Friends' homily to push the right wing gospel of American entrepreneurship. He showed a photo, taken his way to the studio, that he believed is a perfect example of what folks should be doing instead of sitting around on their asses waiting for a welfare check. The wording of the sign was cause for much merriment. The sign interested me so I decided to do a little investigation. Turns out that it's not quite what was represented on Fox & Friends. It also raises questions about Fr. Jonathan's route to work. And if it does represent an "entrepreneur," Morris' slam on those "waiting for a check," is both misinformed and, once again, offensive to those who are part of the social safety net that Fr. Morris maligns. And there's some juicy irony too!!!

Bill O'Reilly carried on the Fox News tradition of race-baiting on Martin Luther King Day tonight with a twofer that included President Obama. In a discussion about today's inaugural address, O'Reilly told guest Bob Woodward that the reason Obama doesn't like Republicans is because they are the "purveyors of white privilege" and he "doesn't like the white privilege thing."

On Friday night (1/18/13), Karl Rove seems to have officially returned to Fox News in the guise of a neutral analyst. He was summoned by The O’Reilly Factor to explain why, as O’Reilly put it, “I’ve seen a change in President Obama’s demeanor since he was re-elected. He’s a bit more rigid and impatient with those who disagree with him.”

I missed most of President Obama’s inauguration speech but I knew it had to be pretty darned good, hard-hitting and effective from the disdain and disgust from the Fox News commenters in its immediate aftermath. In my view, Brit Hume took the cake for his lament that the speech wasn’t 2010 enough, i.e. Obama didn’t talk cutting entitlements or defer to the Tea Party enough. Nobody reminded him that the Tea Party has lost about 2/3 of its popularity since 2010 and is now substantially less popular than socialism.

Today is Martin Luther King's birthday and the second inaugural ceremony of the first African-American president. So you and I would probably find it entirely fitting that President Obama would highlight civil rights in his inaugural address. But not Fox News! During what was supposed to be an "objective" news report on Obama's address, reporter James Rosen kept up Fox News' tradition of race baiting on Martin Luther King Day.

While there are many different Christian denominations, the only Sunday "preacher" at Fox News is a Catholic priest, Fr. Jonathan Morris who, as the one true Fox priest, preaches the gospel according to Roger Ailes and the GOP right. With his best Broadway delivery he regularly interweaves right wing talking points with Catholic dogma. Lately, he's been a bit prickly about how the nefarious forces of evil atheism are trying to take God out of society, especially that nasty MSNBC anchor, Lawrence O'Donnell who had the audacity to suggest that the Bible is long past it's sell by date for presidential inaugurations. This morning, in talking about the importance of religion at inaugurations, the sweet little padre was able to work in this meme in addition to preaching the GOP gospel entrepreneurship and dissing welfare recipients. What's *"Sinday" (another one of Father's Facebook Freudian slips) on Fox & Friends without Fr. Morris!

There's something fishy about Fox News' latest poll which the "fair and balanced" network is trumpeting as showing that "Twice as many favor more guns over banning guns to reduce crime." When you dig into the weeds, you discover that 52% of the respondents say someone in their household owns a gun (question 46) whereas other polls have found a significantly smaller percentage of the population has been found to have a gun in the house.
