On the December 21st Cashin’ In, the panel discussed whether the “media love affair” with President Obama is over and good for taxpayers. Near the end of the discussion, Jonathan Hoenig summed up what he thinks should be the Republican slogan for 2014 and beyond.

Last week, I posted about how Fox News used Duck Dynasty's Willie Robertson (son of Phil Robertson) for a special F.U. to gays and liberals on Christmas Eve. Apparently, Fox loved its maliciousness so much, the network is doing it again for New Year's Eve.
Juan Williams Helps Promote White Racial Outrage Over Knockout Game Arrest
A white teen in Texas has been arrested and charged with a hate crime for playing the knockout game against a black person. In addition to the crime itself, the teen made the mistake of boasting about it in a bar and showing a video of it to an undercover policeman. Cue up Fox News’ racial outrage. The “fair and balanced” network did its best to turn this story into one about white people’s racial injustice at the hands of the (black) Obama administration.
Read moreShannon Bream Provides Platform For Hate Group Head, Tony Perkins, To Attack GLAAD
The Family Research Council has been designated, by the Southern Poverty Law Center, as a "hate group" because of its defamation of and lies about gays which is done under the guise of Christian "family values." But this virulent homophobia is no problem for Fox News which has provided validation and defense of the FRC and its head, Tony Perkins, who is always warmly embraced on Fox shows where he gets to spread the hate that his group specializes in. Such was the case on last Friday's Kelly Files when Perkins was interviewed by Shannon Bream who, along with Todd Starnes, is one of Fox's prime conduits for anti-gay discrimination. Perkins lived up to his reputation as a hate group head in his condemnation of those nasty gay folks who dared to impugn the true biblical Christianity of Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson who has been restored to his A&E show, praise Jesus and Fox News!

This past week of Fox News outrageousness has been dominated by Phil Robertson and Duck Dynasty. There were some outrageous comments on other subjects but I’m going to stick with one theme this time.
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: The S**t That Todd Starnes Says Is Taken Seriously?!
For the Christian right, who see their world rapidly changing, the "culture" war has taken on an almost apocalyptic fervor. For Fox News, the constant outcry of these aggrieved Christian is given pride of place in the writings and TV commentary of Todd Starnes, a devout southern fried evangelical Christian who has become Fox's main mouthpiece for homophobia and general fear and loathing of blacks, Muslims, and "militant" gays. Todd "Toddles" Starnes is on a mission from God to smite the forces of the godless who have taken over American culture especially in the military. In the quest to further the cause of the aggrieved Christian, so beloved by Fox News, there is no unsubstantiated anecdote or lie that Starnes can ignore. So where better for Toddles to pontificate about 2013's top culture war stories about aggrieved Christians than on Fox & Friends, Fox's special morning show for aggrieved Christians!
Read moreFox News Wastes No Time Attacking NY Times Benghazi Report
Not surprisingly, Fox News has gotten to work to do its best to attack the detailed and credible report published yesterday by the New York Times that destroyed much of the Republican/Fox News conspiracy theory about Benghazi. Today, on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace helped the effort along.
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: Former Vatican Ambassador Still Whining About Embassy Move
In November, the perpetually aggrieved Christian right, in yet another failed attempt to smear the president, had a collective hissy fit about how the US Embassy to the Vatican was being moved into the larger compound which houses the US Embassy to Italy. The move was done for financial and security reasons. No problem for the Vatican but for the perpetually aggrieved Christian right it was a big f**king deal. Thus, it was no surprise that Fox New would jump onboard the grievance bandwagon by interviewing one of the aggrieved Catholics who is a former Vatican ambassador. This morning, former Bush 43 Secretary of Veterans Affairs and - drum roll please - former GOP Chairman Jim Nicholson was back for more whining.

On yesterday’s Your World, Eric Bolling debated Democratic strategist Steve Murphy about Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) wanting UPS and FedEx to refund all customers for delayed packages. Bolling wondered why Blumenthal got involved. “Why in the world do we want more government intrusion into the free market? It seems to be working just fine.”

If you want to read some real reporting and you have any interest in what really happened in the September 11, 2012 attacks on the U.S. mission and C.I.A. compound in Benghazi, Libya, then you MUST read today's New York Times article published, it says, after months of on-the-ground investigation.
