Gretchen Carlson's GOProud Guest Pimps Gay Support For Romney
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!

Fox & Friends Visibly Offended At Mere Idea Of Raising Taxes For The Rich
Sometimes something happens that dispels all doubt of Fox News’ bias so effectively that it needs no explanation. Take Ben Stein’s appearance on the Ocober 18th Fox & Friends when he announced that cutting spending isn’t enough, we also have to raise tax rates on people making at least $2 million a year. Steve Doocy interrupted him to say forcefully, “So you don’t think WASHINGTON JUST HAS A SPENDING. PROBLEM,” while the other two stared daggers his way. Then they spent the next two minutes trying (and failing) to coax him to exactly that talking point.

While Bill O'Reilly's satirical doppelganger, Stephen Colbert, doesn't see color, the real Bill O'Reilly doesn't see the real war on women's reproductive rights that is being waged as we speak. As Bill needs to be educated on this matter, I submit, for his edification, the Florida ballot issue Amendment Number 6.

Read moreFox & Friends Declare Global Warming Over
Earlier this week (10/16/12), Fox & Friends touted the notion that global warming ended 16 years ago, according to Britain’s Meteorological Office. Brian Kilmeade angrily asked. “The Obama administration has spent almost $60 billion to combat global warming and how’s that going?” In case you didn’t know the answer, a graphic on the screen had just blared, “WHO’S RUINING THE ECONOMY?”

Read moreMegyn Kelly Says "God Has Won" In Texas Cheerleader Bible Banner Case
While the real America is a religiously diverse nation, with an increasing number of those who claim no faith, the America of Fox News is a Christian nation and a place where Jesus is alway welcome. In addition to the morning "friends," Jesus has a new BFF who is aglow with love for the lord and full of righteous Christian indignation towards those who are not. As one of Jesus' Fox News anointed, Megyn Kelly is closely following the case of the Christian Texas cheerleaders who are suing their school district for prohibiting them from hoisting banners, with appropriately bellicose bible quotes, at high school football games. Recently, on her alleged "news" show, Kelly rejoiced when the cheerleaders won a temporary reprieve for their banners. And now that a Texas state district judge is allowing them to fly their banners until the next court date in June, Megyn Kelly is preaching that God "won" the case.
