Gretchen Carlson Blames Liz Cheney's Gay Sister's 'Lifestyle Choice' For Family Rift?
Given that Fox News is the media mouthpiece for those who love Jesus and hate fags, it's not surprising that their coverage of LGBT issues is biased and inaccurate. As such, I was wondering how the Fox talkers would deal with the recent revelation of the rift between Liz Cheney, candidate for US Senate, and her sister Mary Cheney, over same sex marriage. It must be a conundrum for Fox. While it has always been unwavering in its support of former Veep Dick Cheney, who supports same sex marriage, Fox, as a quasi-conservative Christian media outlet, opposes LGBT rights while supporting the homophobic hate group The Family Research Council. Yesterday, in discussing the Cheney family feud on her program, Gretchen Carlson didn't say much; but what she said about how same sex marriage is a "lifestyle choice" (not a right) that makes "things difficult" for the Cheney family spoke volumes.
Read moreFox News' Faux ‘Obama Skipping Gettysburg Address’ Scandal
While Fox News can’t stop tsk-tsking over Oprah Winfrey saying that SOME of the attacks on President Obama stem from his race, Fox also more or less proved her right as Brian Kilmeade suggested that President Obama’s decision not to attend the commemoration of the Gettysburg Address is because of his racial resentment. Not mentioned? Almost none of the previous U.S. presidents have attended.

The right wing hates the Common Core curriculum because, you know, freedom. So it was no surprise when, last week, Fox & Friends joined the chorus of right wing praise that was given to a Tennessee high school student who spoke out against the curriculum. This morning, the sainted hero himself appeared on Fox & Friends for more Common Core bashing which is, of course, just another way to bash President Obama which is, of course, no surprise at all!

Fox Nation was so excited that President Obama got booed at a basketball game, they forgot to point out that he was mostly cheered and applauded.
Read moreFox News War On Oprah: Racial Prejudice Against President Obama Edition
Does Fox News monitor every word that comes out of Oprah Winfrey’s mouth, just waiting for something they can use to call her a racist? If not, how else to explain at least four prime time segments last night to analyze her comments to a BBC host that she thinks President Obama is disrespected because of his race? And yet her comments about how far the country has evolved on race were largely ignored.
Read moreFox’s Stuart Varney Wonders If There’s ‘Something About The Female Brain’ That Deters Them From Becoming Tech Executives
On today’s Varney & Co., Stuart Varney discussed the lack of women executives and wondered if the company should become “politically correct” and appoint some. Notice how he just assumed the lack of women was because of lack of qualified candidates, not sexism? Then it got worse.
Read moreNext Time Fox News Complains About Someone Else's 'Lack Of Accountability,' Ask About Geraldo Rivera In Afghanistan
In David Folkenflik's excellent new book, Murdoch's World: The Last of the Old Media Empires, there's a very telling anecdote about Fox News refusing to admit a mistake and take responsibility for what was almost surely erroneous, if not downright deceitful, reporting by Geraldo Rivera from Afghanistan. Instead, Fox's PR machine let loose a flood of attacks on Folkenflik when he caught the error.
Read moreFox & Friends & Right Wing Vet Advance Conspiracy Theory: Obama Military 'Purge'
Fox News prides itself on its support for the troops. During the Iraq war, Fox News cheered on the troops and the bogus war in which they were fighting. Those who didn't support the war were condemned as traitors who didn't support the troops. And while various veterans groups voiced their opposition to the war and their concern about its negative affects, Fox continued to support the war and avoid talk about the downside. Assisting Fox in this endeavor was Pete Hegseth of the pro-war Vets for Freedom, a political action committee with ties to the GOP and those who funded the "Swiftboaters." And now that the Iraq war is over, Fox has no qualms about using the troops to attack the president and advance not just an agenda, but a conspiracy being promoted by Alex Jones; i.e. that the president is "purging the military." Assisting Fox in this effort is - drum roll please - the aforementioned Pete Hegseth. Meanwhile, the real issue of sexual assault, in the military is being almost ignored. Go figure!
