On Fox Nation: "Unleashed Beast" Bill O'Reilly Takes Down "Dishonest Editor"
Fox Nation is allegedly a place for those "who oppose intolerance." In keeping with Fox News' bogus "fair & balanced" bull, it also makes the same claim. Yet, it routinely traffics in editorialized, subjective headlines that, in many cases, have nothing to do with the linked article or the Fox video that is being promoted. Such is the case with Fox Nation's Lede Headline: "HOT VIDEO, O'Reilly Unleashes The Beast On Dishonest Editor." The video refers to O'Reilly's interview with Curtis Hubbard, editorial page editor of the Denver Post, who had the audacity to call out O'Reilly for what appears to be the shameless and baseless gay baiting of the Democratic CO House speaker who had the audacity to oppose, in conjunction with a variety of legal experts, Bill's pet project, "Jessica's Law." As noted in the Fox Nation text, Bill, in taking the "dishonest" Hubbard "to task, was an "unleashed beast." If, as rumor has it, Jesse Watters is in charge of Fox Nation, one can understand the giant sucking sound. And if not, it's still pure delusion.
Read moreO’Reilly Meltdown Of The Day: Denver Post Columnist Who Criticized His Attack On Gay Legislator
Another week, another Bill O’Reilly meltdown. And another rewriting of history of same. Tonight’s target: Curtis Hubbard, editorial page editor of the Denver Post, who called out O’Reilly’s “fact-challenged, bigoted” attack on Colorado’s openly gay Speaker of the House. Actually, O’Reilly already rewrote the history before the meltdown this time. But he rewrote it again as he also hurled insults such as “you’re a ridiculous person” with “a vile little column.” Unfortunately for O’Reilly, it didn’t seem to rattle Hubbard a bit. In fact, you’d have to say O’Reilly was the one who became unglued.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Rewrites The History Of His Attack On Gay Congressman
Bill O’Reilly got called out by the Denver Post for his “bigoted, fact-challenged” attack on Colorado’s openly gay and Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives for suggesting that his sexuality had something to do with his opposition to a child molestation bill. And, just as he did after getting called out recently for his vicious attack on Alan Colmes, O’Reilly waffled and changed his story.
Read moreGot Irony? Bill O'Reilly Says To Ignore "Guttersnipes!"
Rather than moments of Zen, Bill O'Reilly's "Tip of the Day" lessons are a view into the hubristic mind of a person whose teachings don't really correspond to past practice. But who knows, maybe Bill O'Reilly has achieved a whole new level of self awareness. But wait, after having lectured us about anger management (go scream in private), Bill vented, quite publicly, against Alan Colmes. So, one wonders if Bill will be able to follow his recent advice about ignoring "guttersnipes. Given his past history, odds are against him.
Read moreFox Gushes Over 'Urgent' News That A New Pope Has Been Selected
Any regular reader knows that Fox is inordinately skewed to Catholics. Is there any other channel that features such regular visits from a Catholic priest over all other denominations? So it's no surprise that Fox would consider the white smoke emanating from the Vatican's chimney, the sign that a new Pope has been selected, as "urgent."
Read moreFox Nation Runs Birther Interference For Ted Cruz
If you're a fan of Texas' Tea Party Senator Ted Cruz and you're worried he might face a birther problem should he decide to run for president, you can rest easier knowing that Fox Nation has his back. Unlike with President Obama, Cruz's spokesperson's word is good enough to allay concerns about his citizenship. Let's compare and contrast.
Read moreFox Guest: I Have Never Met A Group Of People Who Are So Upset That The Economy Is Rebounding Than The Folks Over At Fox
Caroline Heldman, a frequent Fox News guest, had a bit of a blowout with Sean Hannity last night in which he argued that the booming stock market was not a sign of economic recovery because, he asked rhetorically, "those people on food stamps, are they investing in the stock market?” To which Heldman replied, "I’m impressed that you’re now concerned about the poor, thank you for that.” Tonight, Heldman was a guest on Al Sharpton's PoliticsNation where she said, "I have never met a group of people who are so upset that the economy is rebounding than the folks over at Fox."

Armchair General Sean Hannity is very disturbed that Osama Bin Laden’s son-in-law will be tried in New York City instead of Guantanamo Bay. One of Hannity’s objections is that the suspect will receive “rights.” And even though Hannity has weaseled out of his promise to be waterboarded for charity, he now advocated “dunking” the suspect in order to make him “crack.”
Read moreO’Reilly Calls On Beck To Justify His ‘Altruistic’ Attack On Colmes
Glenn Beck may be too toxic for Fox News, but he’s a regular on The O’Reilly Factor. Last night, Bill O’Reilly called on him to help advance his ridiculous justification for attacking Alan Colmes last week, that it was all part of “looking out for you.” Unfortunately for O’Reilly, Beck didn’t do much to help.
Read moreGretchen Carlson Promotes Duggars Doing Asia!
Just when you think that the absurdity level on Fox & Friends can't get any higher (or lower, as the case may be), along comes something that will disabuse you of that notion. This morning, Gretchen Carlson, wearing her biggest Miss America grin and doing her best happy voice evah, interviewed the Duggar family ("19 and Counting") who just returned from a trip to Asia. These fecund folks, who have their own "reality show on TLC," are no strangers to Fox, having been last seen endorsing Rick Santorum for president. Today's interlude was just so cute and inspiring - just kidding. They discussed all the fun they had in experiencing Asian cultures. It was just so inspirational when a Duggar daughter, with two children, said that she looks forward to welcoming her third baby and having as many more children as God will give her. Gretch, who has had two children, said "fantastic." What more can you say? Video here.
