Fox News Contributor Allen West Pushed Out Of His Job At Pajamas Media
Although Fox News contributor Allen West denies he was fired from his post-Congressional job at Pajamas Media, BuzzFeed says he was pushed out after he called a fellow staffer a "Jewish American princess" and told her to "Shut up."

Lawrence O’Donnell riffed on Bill O’Reilly’s long-time “pinhead or patriot” schtick at Fox News White House correspondent Ed Henry’s expense. And I can’t think of a more deserving target.
Read moreO’Reilly: President Obama Does Not Want Americans To ‘Accumulate Wealth’
Did any Fox News viewers actually believe Bill O’Reilly last night when he went on a rampage attacking President Obama and “his acolytes” as not wanting Americans to “accumulate wealth?” Don’t forget this is the same network that can’t stop attacking President Obama (and Michelle Obama, too) as an out-of-touch, golf-playing elitist who takes overly ritzy vacations.
Read moreFox News Pretends U.N Arms Treaty Means World Government Will Control ‘All Of Us’
Only on Fox News would a U.N. arms treaty designed to prevent extremists from getting guns be presented as a kind of Machiavellian scheme by the Obama administration to subjugate American rights to some world power. And only on Fox would a legal analyst like Judge Andrew Napolitano repeatedly give such scare tactics credence at the same time that he repeatedly pointed out the very improbability of the paranoid scenario.

Former Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration and current economics professor Robert Reich, was demeaned and denigrated by Bill O’Reilly on The Factor earlier this week. In response, Reich has asked O’Reilly to have “a civil debate.” But don’t hold your breath.

If you've been wondering about the solo show in store for Gretchen Carlson, until recently a co-host of Fox & Friends, your wait is over. We now know that starting Monday, September 30, Carlson will host The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson during what is currently the second hour of America Live. Apparently, that show will be discontinued as its host, Megyn Kelly, moves to prime time.
Read moreSarah Palin Waves The Flag For Ted Cruz
Sarah Palin opened her appearance on yesterday’s Your World by ripping Republicans who don’t want to hold the budget hostage in an effort to defund the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). She came waving flags as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was beginning his doomed-to-fail faux filibuster against the ACA.
Read moreShannon Bream Pimps Kirk Cameron's Movie, Suggests Hollywood Bias Against Christians
Given that the conservative, Christian right feels that they are constantly under seige by the evil forces of secularism and "the gay agenda," it's not surprising that Fox News provides them with warm Christian fellowship and validation for their perceived grievances. In the Christian world of Fox News, Hollywood (which is owned, in part, by Fox big daddy Rupert Murdoch) is particularly egregious in its alleged bias against Christians. Yesterday, on America Live, Fox's anti-gay "news" host, Shannon Bream was able to promote the popular right wing meme of hostility towards Christians in the military and - wait for it - hostility toward Christians by liberal Hollywood. And for extra celestial bonus points, she let her fellow Jesus BFF and former child star, Kirk Cameron, pimp his movie for the second time on Jesus' very own news network.
Read moreDemocrat Penny Lee Applauds Ted Cruz For Sticking To His Principles
What’s the matter with “Democratic strategist” Penny Lee? Even if she’s angling to get her spot back as a Fox News contributor, it’s hard to understand how she could appear on the Hannity show and pretend that Senator Ted Cruz is a man of principle whose only real flaw is that he didn’t “build a consensus” for his radical plan to defund Obamacare at the expense of the entire federal government.
Read moreShannon Bream, Hate Group President Advance Anti-Gay Christian Sergeant's Persecution Claim
Fox News is quite interested in the case of Air Force Sergeant Phillip Monk who is now the darling of the Christian right because of his claim, promoted by Fox News, that he was punished for his religious opposition to same sex marriage. After Fox's resident homophobe Todd Starnes reported that Monk had been persecuted by his lesbian superior, alleged Fox news anchor Shannon Bream, asked if there is a "reverse don't ask, don't tell" for Christians in the military - a popular meme in the homophobic Christian right. The Air Force told Fox that there was no punishment; but Bream reported Monk's allegations as fact. Earlier this month, Starnes reported that Monk is being investigated - not for his Christian views - but because he told his bogus story to Fox News - a breach of military regulations. Fox's "The Five" rallied around him. Yesterday, Fox's official anti-gay "news" person, Shannon Bream advanced Monk's narrative with Tony Perkins, the head of the homophobic hate group the Family Research Council, and once again, advanced the right's hottest new meme of persecution of military Christians by a Jesus hating Obama administration.
