Last week, Jon Stewart skewered Bill O’Reilly’s and Mitt Romney’s attacks on Obama voters and especially lampooned O’Reilly’s “end of traditional America” comments on the night of the election. Although ultimately Stewart’s ridiculing was laced with kindness, it concluded with a hilariously ridiculous graphic of O’Reilly in a headdress. That must have hurt O’Reilly’s tender feelings – already smarting from a scathing Washington Post editorial. So despite having defended his comments earlier in the show, he rallied to his own defense again later, in the Reality Check, segment – this time hitting back at “obtuse” Stewart and the “pinheads” at Comedy Central. 

The bogus Fox News War on Christmas is not being fought just in the trenches of Fox News "opinion," but in the alleged fair & balanced trenches of their "real journalism." Yesterday, Fox & Friends, the morning happy-talk show that Ailes uses as one of his primary vehicles to inject his venom into the media bloodstream," injected some of Fox's annual War on Christmas venom into the Fox bloodstream where it circulated over to "Happening Now" which is part of Fox's official "news" line up; and, as such, is, supposedly, subject to the Fox oxymoronic slogan and logo, "Fox News, Fair & Balanced." But alleged "news" anchor, Jon Scott, was hardly a dispassionate journalist in his moderation of a discussion about nasty atheists who, in Foxworld, have put an end to the city sponsored Nativity in Santa Monica. But given that Roger Ailes fears, along with Muslims and gays, secularism, it's no surprise that the War on Christmas is a proxy war for Fox News' war on atheism. 

Although many Republicans are abandoning Mitt Romney over his ‘gifts’ comments, Bill O’Reilly is doubling and tripling down on them. And he’s darned angry that anyone, ANYONE might think he’s a racist or anti-poor just because he said that people who voted for President Obama were people of color who “want stuff.” 

Fox Nation's poll (right side of the page) asking "Who will cave before fiscal cliff?" is exactly what is wrong with Washington these days.  Rather than each side giving ground in the interest of progress, we have Fox essentially advocating for obstructionism over progress.  Sure, neither side wants to lose more than they gain, but problems cannot be solved the same way six-year old children solve them---by foot-stamping.

Fox News’ “Ethics in Journalism” hit what may be a new low Friday (11/16/12) when Megyn Kelly was so busy eating up Rep. Peter King’s claim that Benghazi memos were altered in a cover up, that she forgot to ask him why he had already provided a much different story to reporters elsewhere. 

Along with covering the real conflict in the Middle East, Fox News also provides full coverage for the bogus "War on Christmas." This so called "war" is an annual holiday (ewww, I said a bad word) Fox News feature that advances the Fox patented whine about how evil atheists are just trying to ruin things for godly Christians. So it wasn't a surprise to hear Roger Ailes' personal attorney, litigator for the NY Catholic arch-diocese, Maltese Knight, and Fox "friend" Peter Johnson Jr. (whose names are euphemisms for penis) sadly proclaim, to his fellow Christian/Christmas warrior Steve Doocy, that the first shot in this non-existent war has been fired. While the reality based community has more to think about than supposed insults to the Baby Jesus, for Fox News it's a BFD!!!

In their desperation to blame Mitt Romney's election loss on anybody but Mitt Romney, Fox News targeted the single ladies who voted for Obama because, according to Fox wisdom, these women only care about free birth control. Some of their pundits even went so far as to say that married women voted Republican because they are so much more responsible than those irresponsible slutty sluts who supported the president. Watch Jon Stewart and Kristen Schall talk vaginas!

On Friday night (11/16/12), the Hannity show hosted Glenn Beck BFF Danny Danon, Deputy Knesset Speaker – not just to discuss the Israeli fighting in Gaza, but for explicit suggestions to President Obama about how to handle Egypt in the wake of that country’s support for Hamas. And Danon gave his opinion freely. Apparently, when it comes to American exceptionalism, Israel is equal to or better than.

Rupert Murdoch stuck his nose into press coverage of Israel and just "asked," in a tweet yesterday, "Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti-Israel in every crisis?" Then, after a bit of an outcry, Murdoch apologized via another tweet today, "',Jewish owned press' have been sternly criticised, suggesting link to Jewish reporters. Don't see this, but apologise unreservedly."

The election may be over but there's still plenty of news involving Democrats. Yet, Fox News didn't include a single one in its guest lineup today, even though the topics included General David Petraeus' resignation, the Obama administration's handling of Benghazi and Obamacare. But the guests were Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss, Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, Republican Governor Scott Walker and Independent Senator Joseph Lieberman. Lieberman is chairman of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee and he caucuses with the Democrats but he also campaigned for Republican Senator John McCain in 2008.
