Fox Nation Mischaracterizes Poll Findings About Uninsured Americans And ObamaCare
Fox Nation apparently lifted a Breitbart.com post without taking the time to look at the Gallup poll Breitbart based its writing on. Either that or the “fair and balanced” website knowingly posted the headline, “Gallup: The Uninsured Reject ObamaCare” when that’s not what the Gallup poll found.
Read moreFox & Friends Showcases Hate Group Head's Military Service While Advancing Persecuted Christian Soldier Meme
One of the religious right's foundational beliefs is that good Christian members of the military are being persecuted by the evil Obama administration. As Fox News loves its persecuted Christians and hates Obama, it isn't surprising that America's "fair & balanced" network transforms these memes into yet another faux controversy much of which is generated by Fox's Todd Starnes. Relying on an endless supply of anonymous sources, Starnes seizes on these alleged outrages, many of which stem from attempts, by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, to push back against aggressive Christian proselytizing in the military. As the flagship show for persecuted Christians, Fox & Friends never wastes an opportunity to push the narrative. In May, Steve Doocy validated the complaints of the homophobic retired general Jerry Boykin, VP of the SPLC hate group, the Family Research Council. This morning, the Fox & Friends professional Christians welcomed the FRC's head honcho, Tony Perkins to discuss the same issue. And to give him even more credibility, the pals stressed Perkin's military service.
Read moreFox News ‘Power Player Of The Week’ Turning Into Fox News PR?
For the past three weeks on Fox News Sunday, the Power Play of the Week segment has featured a Fox News personality selling a new book. Yesterday, it was Brian Kilmeade. For the two weeks before that, it was Charles Krauthammer.

Read moreJon 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.
Read moreFox News Sunday Showcases Chris Christie's 2016 Campaign
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...!!!
