Hannity The Big Loser Of FNC's Prime Time Shuffle
Sean Hannity says he’s happy being bumped back an hour – to 10 PM ET - in Fox News’ prime time lineup but other than his supposed good cheer over being able to spend more time with his family, it’s hard to see anything other than ominous signs for him. And maybe for Roger Ailes' helmsmanship of Fox News Channel, too.

Read moreFox & Friends Gushes Over 'Super-hero" GOP Florida AG, Pam Bondi
Yesterday, the gang on the new curvy couch began their week of celebrating political rising stars by interviewing the GOP Oklahoma House Speaker, TW Shannon. As I reported, the interview allowed the fetid Fiends Friends to promote a positive data point about the state while ignoring the negatives. It was also a platform for Shannon to articulate right wing talking points which were validated by the pals. The same format was followed, this morning, in an interview with "rising star," Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondi who recently got some national attention when her office rescheduled an execution because it interfered with a Bondi fundraiser. But according to Fox & Friends, who gushed over Bondi back in July, Bondi is just awesome
Read moreFox Nation Reacts To D.C. Navy Yard Shooting With Racist Hate
Once again, Fox Nation has not lived up to its stated mission of civility, respect and unity. And that's putting it mildly. Tonight's cesspool of hate comes on a thread about the Washington, D.C. Navy Yard shooting - especially with regard to the dead suspect's race. Those "civil, tolerant" readers have not only found that a good excuse to make racist attacks on other African Americans but to have their hatred spill over to liberals and, of course, President Obama. U. S. A.!

Fox News joined its right-wing BFF's in jumping at suggesting that the mass shooting could have been averted or ameliorated had the workers there been allowed to carry guns.
Read moreTodd Starnes Insults Government Workers
Todd Starnes might be full to bursting with love for Jesus; but he sure does have a lot of unChristian hatred for lots of folks. We know that he's not fond of liberals, minorities, and gays but who knew that government workers are on his lengthy shit list. Earlier this month, poor Toddles got upset with a postal worker and tweeted that the perceived malfeasance was typical of all government workers.
Read moreFox & Friends Features GOP "Rising Political Star"
This week, Fox & Friends will be featuring "rising political stars." Today, they interviewed the Oklahoma GOP House Speaker. While the conversation wasn't noteworthy, it was standard Fox & Friends propaganda pablum. It started with a glowing statistic from new Fox Friend, Elizabeth Hasslebeck, which was then validated by Rep. TW Shannon who proceeded to articulate conservative talking points which were validated by the Friends. The interview underscored, once again, why Fox viewers are so uninformed because, once again, the Friends made no effort to provide information which might have sullied Shannon's script. BTW Shannon just happens to be both African-American and native-American. Who says that the GOP isn't a big tent!
Read moreMiss America Not American Enough For Fox's Todd Starnes
This weekend, Miss New York, Nina Davuluri, was crowned the newest Miss America. But "patriot" Todd Starnes was not only displeased, he took to Twitter and Facebook to air his bigoted and hate-mongering sour grapes.
Read moreFox & Friends Offers Free Legal Advice And Other Good Stuff
Sarah Palin need not worry about getting sued for copyright infringement. All she needs to do is e-mail Fox Friend and legal beagle (also Roger Ailes personal attorney and litigator for the Catholic archdiocese of NY) Peter Johnson Jr. for free legal advice. As part of Fox & Friends' new community outreach, he is now offering his help to those who are being sued. Seems too good to be true; but according to its spiffy new website, Fox & Friends is offering a variety of other helpful public services, as well as its requisite propaganda. There's something for everybody on Fox & Friends. For details, read on.
Read moreSarah Palin Sued For Copyright Infringement of Iconic 9/11 Photo
We can add copyrights and "fair use" to the long list of subjects about which Sarah Palin is woefully ignorant. And arrogant. As CNN reports, Palin and her political action committee are being sue for using a famous photo of firefighters raising an American flag over the World Trade Center ruins on September 11, 2001. Apparently, Palin posted a screen grab of the photo on her Facebook page. And then did not respond to requests to take it down.
