Megyn Kelly Totally Freaks Out Over "Girls" Getting Drafted!!!!
Apart from the insane clown posse in the Christian right, the issue of women in combat is no big deal. Even Fox News, a reliable mouthpiece for Christian crazies, doesn't seem to have a problem with it. In a discussion with Fox's resident right wing, Iraq war supporting vet, Pete Hegseth, Megyn Kelly appeared to support the new policy. But in the time span of one week, Ms. Kelly has done a neck wrenching about-face with her almost hysterical commentary about the possibility that OMG, "girls," might be drafted because of the lifting of the ban on women in combat. Check out Kelly's latest hissy fit; but be warned that your monitor might start steaming because she was on fire. But one questions if this is genuine or if Kelly is just pimping the propaganda of hate group president Tony Perkins who claims that the presence of women in combat will cause an exodus of macho men and that will lead to the reinstatement of the draft. Hmmm.

Oh, that crazy Bill O'Reilly just loves to ambush people he disagrees with. All in the name of No Spin, of course. Tonight's victims? Al Gore and the people who went to see him speak in New York recently.
Read moreLimbaugh And Hannity: The Liberal Media Is In Cahoots With Obama's Divisive, Totalitarian And Socialist Agenda
Sean Hannity and David Limbaugh couldn't whine enough about that evil liberal media last night. It started with a complaint – no, a bitchfest is more like it – about MSNBC's “deceptive editing” of testimony of a Sandy Hook victim's father (as if Fox has never done anything like that) and then segued into blaming the liberal media for "totalitarian," "socialist" and "divisive" President Obama's re-election and popularity. Somebody call a waahmbulance!
Read moreMartha MacCallum Hearts Jason Mattera!?!
As Jon Stewart once said, conservative victimization is the true genius of what Fox News has accomplished. As such, Fox "News," didn't waste any time providing validation for right wing James O'Keefe wannabe, Jason Mattera, who is the most recent of a steady Fox parade of right wingers being persecuted by the forces of evil liberalism. Jason is very upset about the "hypocrisy" of NY Bloomberg's promotion of gun control while he maintains an armed security detail. On both Monday night's Hannity and Tuesday's Fox & Friends, Mattera was presented as a (LOL) credible "journalist" who was "bullied" by Bloomberg's guys. The fiction that the homophobic, chicken hawk Mattera is a "journalist" who was beset by ruffians was further advanced on Tuesday's "America's Newsroom," where alleged "news" host, Martha MacCallum gave him some sweet face time and lots of loving
Read moreHannity Loses It When Confronted About His Promise To Be Waterboarded For Charity
We at News Hounds have not forgotten how Sean Hannity has yet to fulfill his promise to be waterboarded for charity in order to prove it's not torture. Hannity made that promise on April 22, 2009, almost four years ago. But today, when a Think Progress staff member asked him about it on the radio, he was suddenly - well, not interested in discussing it.
Read moreSean Hannity Continues Fox News' Propaganda Campaign Against Egyptian Military Aid
Last week, Fox "News" gave birth to a bouncing baby right wing meme which seems to have been conceived in right wing anger over the Obama administration's decision to send F-16's to Egypt - or, as articulated by some on Fox, a "gift to the Islamic Brotherhood." The Fox midwives, Sean Hannity, Fox Nation, the Fox News website, and Fox & Friends (two segments) were also joined, over the week-end, by Fox News HQ's Uma Pemmaraju and Jeanine Pirro. Pemmaraju's questions were leading and neither of her freshman congressmen guests (one a conservative Democrat) supported the sale, Pirro's almost histrionic questions were right wing talking points (Morsi hates Israel, Morsi is part of a terrorist group etc, etc) and both of her right wing guests (KT McFarland and Col. David Hunt) spoke against the sale. We're into a new week, and I'm please to announce that the newborn meme is thriving as evidenced by yet another Sean Hannity propaganda piece.
Read moreBret Baier Sources Right Wing Website To Bash CBS For "Soft" Questions To Pres. Obama & Hillary Clinton
When challenged about its claim of being "fair & balanced, Fox management said that Fox "opinion" shows were exempt from this claim - but that the actual "news" shows actually do "fair & balanced" coverage. While we know that Newsbusters, Brent Bozell's right wing hack site that exposes "liberal bias" no matter how obscure the media, is frequently sourced (Fox's, LOL, "Bias Alert" column) by the Fox News website, it is also sourced by Fox "news" shows that are supposedly "fair & balanced." This cozy relationship (albeit chaste, Christian, and heterosexual) has been seen on several occasions during Bret Baier's "news" show when he has given them, without noting their right wing bias, a shout out. And Tuesday night, he even described them, ROFLMAO, as a credible "media watcher" during his hit piece about CBS being in the tank for the president. Funny, if an MSNBC host acknowledged Media Matters, the Newsbusters would be all over it like - uh - flies on shit?!
Read moreHannity's Hilarious Comparison Of Menendez Prostitute Scandal To Larry Craig 'Toe Tapping'
Sean Hannity purported to hold a discussion attacking the “left-wing media” for their failure to cover the allegations against Senator Bob Menendez that he engaged underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately, for Hannity, he used the case of Senator Larry Craig, arrested for soliciting sex in an airport, for comparison. Once he started talking about Craig, Hannity couldn't seem to stop. Craig was suddenly a right-wing martyr du jour.
Read moreFox News Uses Commentary From Homophobic Hate Group In Coverage Of Changes To Boy Scout Gay Ban
The Boy Scouts are considering making a change in their current policy which bans openly gay scouts and leaders. In covering this issue, Fox News has provided analysis that looks at both sides of the issue. However, as Media Matters points out, the Fox reporter providing the back story advances the bogus right wing connection between homosexuality and pedophilia. What is also interesting is that all the segments (Bret Baier's Special Report, America's Newsroom, Happening Now) show commentary from Rob Schwarzwalder, the vice-president of the Family Research Council which the SPLC has designated as a hate group for its virulently anti-gay beliefs and statements such as one that Schwarzwalder made for one of Baier's segments. Just because the Fox propaganda isn't immediately discernible doesn't mean that it's not there!
Read moreDespite Fox’s Aggressive Posturing, Hillary Clinton Gets an Easy Ride in On the Record Interview
After griping for weeks about how the mainstream media gives the Obama administration a free ride – and using words like “swooning” and “fawning” to describe the recent 60 Minutes interview with Hillary Clinton and President Obama - Greta Van Susteren’s interview with Clinton last night was surprisingly subdued. Van Susteren didn’t “fawn” on Clinton exactly, but neither did she press aggressively, call Clinton names or say she should be fired.
