It's a little more than a half hour to debate time. We've got the debate streaming after the jump. Please share your thoughts, opinions and observations with us in our comments thread.

Male chauvinists in the world, rejoice! The Fox News Channel/Fox Business Network not only has your back but has at least three hosts who see things the way you do. And all three of them have decided that there was nothing at all offensive in Mitt Romney’s “binders full of women” comment. And just like in his last discussion on the subject, O’Reilly ignored Romney’s dissembling that went with it.

Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, dubbed "Obamacare" by the GOP right, Fox News has provided validation for those who oppose it. And in order to provide further validation, they utilize the services of their "Medical A Team" member and "serial medical misinformer" Dr. Mark Siegel who, as a loyal member of the "fair & balanced" news staff, is very up front about his vehement opposition to health care reform. Now that the president still maintains a slight lead in the key state of Ohio, the "fair & balanced" Fox news host, Megyn Kelly has, in picking up on a story popular on right wing sites, decided that Ohio voters need to know that they shouldn't vote for Obama because one of their doctors is against "Obama" care. How does Kelly know that? Why from a letter to the editor written by a *partisan Ohio doctor.  So who cares if you stand to lose your health care if Romney wins! Certainly not alleged "news" anchor, Megyn Kelly!

Birther Boy Donald Trump isn't getting the attention he needs these days what with the presidential campaign gearing into full swing. So he trotted out a new spotlight-grabbing trick on Fox & Friends this morning - including a teaser for some big upcoming announcement "concerning the President of the United States." So big and so important, it can wait two more days while he has a chance to build up the buzz he's lost since he made a complete ass of himself over President Obama's birth certificate and his own phony-baloney pretense of a presidential candidacy. As usual, however, the Curvy Couch Crew was completely credulous.

On yesterday's Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace aired an edited video of President Obama's September 12 remarks on the deaths of four Americans in Libya the day before. Wallace claimed the video was edited "to show that there was quite a gap between various things that he was discussing." In other words, it was edited with the express purpose of "showing" that President Obama was not referring to the Libya attacks when used the words "acts of terror." Yet, Wallace did not show the remarks in their actual context.

Now that Rupert Murdoch has been practically run out of the U.K. newspaper publishing business, it seems he wants to expand his holdings in the U.S. market. According to the Los Angeles Times, executives from Murdoch's News Corporation have held "preliminary talks" with the paper's debt holders. The Times is owned by Tribune Co., which also owns the Chicago Tribune. A report by Reuters kinda sorta plays down the rumor but also says the Times is "standing by" its report. Furthermore, FoxBusiness.com has an article saying Murdoch is "looking to buy" the LA Times.

Catherine Herridge is supposed to be an objective reporter on Fox News and she’s got some impressive journalism credentials.  But during a visit to the Justice with Jeanine show yesterday, when she was supposedly reporting on the latest in the Middle East, Herridge gratuitously opined that the Obama administration “emboldens” the enemy in Libya. 

ROFLMAO. On this morning's Fox & Friends, Focus on the Family's President, Jim Daly, spoke about his new book which is about how to accept those with different views without demonizing them. This is the same guy who, earlier this year said that Satan is promoting gay marriage because “he hates marriage because it’s a reflection of God’s image.” Also, Heather Nauert said that liberals are the most intolerant people. Guess she's never read the toxic sludge, written on Fox Nation, by some rather intolerant right wing Christians.

The right wing isn't exactly enamored of the gay community. Not only do they feel that same sex attraction is a perverse "choice;" but that the gay community is trying to foist a degenerate "gay agenda" on godly heterosexuals - a meme that has been advanced by Fox News on a number of occasions. But for Fox, it appears that not all gays are created equal and those who support Mitt Romney are just fine and dandy. Such was the case, last week, when Gretchen Carlson interviewed Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director of GOProud, a group of conservative gays which has Ann Coulter on their board - yes, that Ann Coulter who agrees with Rick Santorum that gay rights "are not civil rights." Suffice to say that some in the mainstream gay community aren't exactly enamored of GOProud; but that didn't stop Fox & Friends from using Mr. LaSalvia as a convenient prop to show that Mitt Romnney is so awesome that even teh gays are embracing him - not!

On Fox Business' show, Markets Now, on Friday (10/19/12), regular guest Wayne Rogers was asked to comment on research showing that policy uncertainty is at its highest level in almost 30 years and supposedly costing Americans two million jobs. Near the end of the clip, Rogers called it, “a failure in Keynesian economics I think.” He added, “You can’t just spend your way out of a recession. If you read Paul Krugman, who I think is retarded…” (Updated with video)
