Gretchen Carlson Joins The Syria Sour Grapes Club At Fox News
This morning, Gretchen Carlson joined Chris Wallace and Sean Hannity in the Fox News Syria Sour Grapes Club. Instead of expressing any relief that a military confrontation over Syria’s chemical weapons might have just been avoided, Carlson seemed more determined to make sure that President Obama didn’t get any credit.
Read moreTodd Starnes' Most Stupid Tweet Evah? 'Obama Did Nothing' About Dr. Gosnell!
While he loves Jesus, Fox News' resident homophobe and shit stirrer Todd Starnes is just full to bursting his Southern fried arteries with hatred for the POTUS. He is particularly incensed about the president's desire to strike at Syria after chemical weapons were used on men, women, and children. Given that the Christian bachelor Starnes is adamantly "pro-life," you'd think that he would be upset about the kids who got gassed. Think again. Like so many of his fellow anti-choicers who care more about fetuses than those who have passed the birth canal and who really hate the pro-choice President (who is BTW a "friend" of Al Qaeda), Toddles makes the bizarre and offensive comparison of the gassed children to abortion. Recently, he tweeted that what goes on in Planned Parenthood is worse than the gas attack. And in his desperation to smear Obama, in another bizarre and offensive tweet, he said, "American babies had their spines severed with a pair of scissors -- and Obama did nothing." WTF???!!!!
Read more‘Great American’ Hannity And Buchanan Heart Vladimir Putin’s Syria Actions
Great American” Sean Hannity couldn’t have sounded more delighted as he announced last night that the latest Fox News polls are “devastating” for President Obama. “Bring back the cowboy from Texas,” Hannity added. Maybe that’s because George W. Bush looked Vladimir Putin in the eye and knew in an instant what a great guy he is.
Read moreFox Already Spinning Possible Syria Resolution As A Loss For Obama
Leave it to those patriots at Fox to take the news that a possible diplomatic and political resolution may have forestalled a military strike against Syria - and hype it as some kind of loss and bad news for President Obama.
Read moreFox News Promotes GOP Student Whose Video Got Anti-GOP Professor Suspended
As I've often said, ain't no party like a Fox News right wing pity party. The most common whines, consumed during a Fox pity party, are those relating to how Christians are being persecuted by the evil librul and gay agendas. But right up there with aggrieved Christians are morally pure conservative students who are upset about evil librul college professors who say nasty things about Republicans because, you know, that's the kind hate speech that would be condemned if it were directed towards minorities and gays. Fox loves these students as their message reinforces the popular Fox meme about how "liberal indoctrination" is the cause for "the trouble with schools" - another popular Fox meme. Recently, a stalwart, young Republican Michigan State U sophomore did a sting video which purported to show a professor making offensive comments about the GOP and, OMG, the Romney's. The video went viral throughout right wing media, the prof was suspended, and - drum roll please - the heroic student, Evan Schrage, got more than his 15 minutes of fame on Fox News.
Read moreFAIR Examines Hannity's Long Record Of Bigotry Boosting
There's a great article by Steve Rendall for FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting) called, Primetime Racism on Fox: Hannity’s long history of boosting bigots. Rendall catalogs Hannity's long record of cozying up to white bigots at the same time that he remains a hypervigilant critic of black racism. I'm proud to say that several News Hounds posts are referenced. But I would commend the article to our readers regardless.
Read moreFox News Fear Mongers About Solar Panels Catching On Fire
Fox News likes to downplay (i.e. deny) the dangers of climate change but when it come to solar panels? The "fair and balanced" network wants you to think you and your house could go up in flames at any minute! I'm sure it's just a coincidence that President Obama has put forth green energy incentives to fight climate change.

Read moreFox News, You've Got (More) Mail
It's time to take our weekly glimpses into the minds (or lack thereof) of Fox News viewers, at least the ones who can't seem to tell the difference between us and the "fair and balanced" cable news network. This week's subjects: further demonization of Trayvon Martin, a complaint about the "rude" military person "poignantly" looking down as Kerry spoke. And at least one from a liberal who proves that conservatives have not cornered the market on ignorance.
