Rupert Murdoch Now On Twitter
His account has been verified by Twitter but I'll bet he's not the one writing his tweets. UPDATED.
Read moreKimberly Guilfoyle Does Sit Down Dance
Rupert Murdoch has no problems exposing "Page Three Girls," in the British tabloids. Obviously, he can't go quite this far on his American tabloid "news" network. But that doesn't mean that pulchritude can't be part of "fair & balanced" Fox News where Jesus meets some serious "T & A" which includes lingerie model guests and shapely news anchors. While Roger Ailes does feature some titillating cleavage, the mostly blonde beauties in his stable are known for their shapely legs. Be it Martha MacCallum on her stool, Gretchen Carlson on her couch, or Megyn Kelly behind her transparent "desk," the "gams" are front and center.
Read moreYour World Enables AZ Sheriff Babeu's Border Fear Mongering
Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu spoke on Your World Friday (12/30/11) about a new hotline for suspected undocumented immigrants. Babeu’s county, Pinal county, is not on the border. But Babeu likes to play a border sheriff on television. He’s also a Fox News fave considering running for Congress on a severe anti-immigrant platform. “Why don’t they have a hot line for us?” Babeu asked, as if he were having trouble contacting federal authorities. “We’re on the front lines and they’re doing everything for people who are breaking the law and who are not even citizens of our country and then shout us down like we’re un-American… We’re doing the jobs the federal government fails to do, is to protect our country.” In fact, the Obama administration has doubled the number of agents on the border since 2004.

One of my favorite features here at News Hounds is the Fox News mailbag. In case you need further proof that Fox News viewers are misinformed, behold this latest batch of emails sent by people who thought they were writing to Fox News.

Recently, a Jewish rabbi was pilloried by the Christian right (and Fox News and Fox Nation) for having the audacity to say that Tim Tebow provides "fodder to a Christian revivalism." Nowhere is this use of Tim Tebow, as "fodder" for Christian revivalism, more evident than on the Fox News channel which never wastes an opportunity to create a wedge issue in which those who criticize Tim Tebow's public Christianity are cast as evildoers who-would-never-say-this-stuff-about-Muslims. Thus, as part of their vigorous defense of Tebow, his most ardent fans on Fox's "The Five" attacked not only Bill Maher, who had the audacity to send an irreverent tweet about Tebow, they also attacked atheists and pro-choicers who are frequent targets of Fox's godly, propagandistic wrath. But now that a pro-choice group has suggested that Tim Tebow's prowess be used for donations to Planned Parenthood, some on "The Five" are again full of godly Christian indignation towards atheists and pro-choicers. Got a meme? Got hypocrisy?
Read moreOn The Record Omits Herman Cain Sexual Scandal And Other Candidates’ Gaffes From Recap Of 2011 Presidential Race
On The Record did a “Best of 2011” segment last night that began with what host Greta Van Susteren called the “highlights” of the “Road to 2012.” She said, “During the past 12 months, each of the candidates has had high points and low points. Here are some of the highlights from the presidential hopefuls and from those who decided not to run.” Apparently, she meant that literally because the nearly eight-minute segment excluded any mention of the Herman Cain sexual scandals and just about every gaffe that he or any other Republican candidate made.
Read moreFox Nation Attacks Kwanzaa
That “America-loving” website, Fox Nation (just disregard all the talk about wanting to kill Americans) is now attacking Kwanzaa. A recent post “asks,” Who Celebrates Kwanzaa? followed by the comment, “The results of a reader poll suggest that the holiday may be past its prime.” As if Fox Nation readers are in any position to judge. Predictably, the comments are full of racist hatred. (H/T Barbara S. and James W.)

Someone at Fox Latin America apparently thought that asking whether or not the Jews killed Jesus Christ was a good way to drum up interest in an upcoming National Geographic Christmas special.
Read moreIn Defending Tim Tebow, The Five Attack Bill Maher, Atheists, Pro-Choicers
As you know, over the week-end, during the sacred period when people watch football, eat and drink too much, and open gifts that will get returned during a mad mall frenzy, Bill Maher had the audacity to tweet about how Fox god, Tim Tebow, was screwed (Maher used another colloquialism) by his brother by another mother due to the Denver Broncos humiliating loss to the mediocre Buffalo Bills. For Fox News, this was BLASPHEMY of the highest order. Fox Nation, a place for those who believe in tolerance (not), immediately posted a lede about "Pig Maher's" egregious offense to Tebow and his brother by another mother. Not surprisingly, "The Five's" good and tolerant Christians Tim Tebow fans rushed to Tim's defense and in so doing showered Bill Maher, atheists, and pro-choicers, all anathema to Fox and its audience, with anything but Christmas Christian love.
Read moreFox News Hypocritically Uses Jobless Claims To Play Class Warfare Against President Obama
Once again, those Fox News hypocrites who complain the left plays class warfare jumped at the chance to do so themselves for the sake of swiping at President Obama. In a Special Report segment today that purported to be about “rough economic news,” reporter Doug Luzader gratuitously mentioned that the Obama’s spent more on dinner last night than most others in Hawaii can afford. Then he immediately moved on to suggest that Republican presidential candidate – and Mitt Romney, of all people - is more in touch.
