Fox Guest Wants The U.S. To Assassinate North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un For Real
Fox News seemed determined to wring as much fear out of the Sony hack attack as possible this morning. First, the host “just asked” if our entire economy might crash next. Regular guest John Layfield kicked it up a notch by acting ready to start World War III by having North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-Un killed. Unlike Sony's The Interview movie, however, Layfield was not joking. Unfortunately.

Stacey Dash was trotted out yesterday and all but told to reiterate her “Democrats are like slave owners” smear. Sure enough, she delivered her line.
Read moreFox’s ‘All-American Christmas’ Includes Right-Wing Extremists And The Heck With Most Everyone Else
Fox News Radio has put together a little extravaganza called “Todd Starnes All-American Christmas.” But considering its cast of white, right-wing Christians, a better name would probably be “Todd Starnes’ America-The-Way-We-Wished-It-Was Christmas.”
Read moreSteve Doocy Takes Side Of 'Banned' Marquette Prof Who 'Defended' Anti-Gay Student
While the Fox News "fair & balanced" slogan applies to the entire network, Fox claims that this applies only to actual news programming. Opinion shows, such as Fox & Friends are exempt and that's a good thing because this show is a right wing propaganda vehicle with a pathological aversion to the truth. And while "the truth," in some cases, is nebulous, the gang on the curvy couch makes no attempt to examine both sides, but, rather weigh in on the side that most fits their right wing narrative. Such was the case, this morning, when Steve Doocy provided national exposure for a Marquette Professor who is being investigated, by the school, for his blog comments about a graduate instructor who offended an anti-gay marriage conservative student. Once again, Steve Doocy provided the whine for yet another pity party and some tasty Fox lies, too.
Read moreFox Theorizes Obama Snubbed Networks As ‘Payback’ For Not Airing Immigration Reform Address
Today, Fox News’ first comments after President Obama’s substantive and wide-ranging year-end press conference were not about North Korea, Sony, Cuba, Keystone XL, the economy or race relations with the police. No, host Gretchen Carlson “just asked” whether Obama had not called on any of the major networks as payback for their decision not to air his immigration reform remarks.

Bill O’Reilly thinks “traditional America is poised to come back.” One of those beacons of hope? The fact that “the folks solidly support” some forms of torture.
Read moreGot Irony? Elisabeth Hasselbeck Whines About 'Intolerant' Atheists!
When it comes to reproductive rights, Fox, as the mouthpiece for the radical Christian right, is fully onboard with the defunding of Planned Parenthood because, God forbid, they don't want tax dollars going to a place which offers legal abortion. But when it comes to taxpayer dollars being spent on public organizations that endorse Christianity, arguably a violation of the 1st Amendment, Fox has no problem at all. Such was the case on yesterday's Fox & Friends when professional Fox Christian (and they are legion) Elisabeth Hasselbeck expressed her displeasure with "intolerant" atheists (a key demographic on Fox's shit list) who have expressed their displeasure with a Utica, NY fire department's "Happy Birthday Jesus" sign.
Read moreSarah Palin’s Reality Show Returning With Ted Nugent
Sarah Palin’s reality television series, “Amazing America with Sarah Palin” will soon return to the small screen along with special guest Ted Nugent. Because nothing says “Amazing America” like a draft-dodging, murder-loving, racist trash talking guy like The Nuge.
Read moreTed Cruz: Obama Restored Cuba Relations Because He’s Mad At America
It was to be expected that Senator Ted Cruz would show up on Fox News to blast President Obama’s decision to normalize relations with Cuba. But Cruz' claim – that Obama did it in retaliation for the midterm elections – was even nuttier than usual for him.
Read moreMartha MacCallum Claims Billy Graham Cured 'Unbroken' Hero's PTSD!
The Golden Globe "snub" of two military themed movies has become a big f'ing deal for Fox News which has covered this faux outrage on three Fox News shows. Tuesday, the host of one of the shows, alleged news host Martha MacCallum, whined about how Unbroken, a movie about a former POW who embraced Jesus as a result of the Billy Graham crusade, was not selected for an award. She also whined that the plot ignored the hero's awesome conversion experience. Yesterday, Martha MacCallum not only continued that whine but provided a pulpit from which Billy Graham's son Franklin got to proselytize (for the second time this week), pimp a book available through his association, and say that accepting Jesus cures PTSD - a claim echoed by our erstwhile "news" anchor.
