O’Reilly Announces He’s ‘Making Jon Stewart Understand America’
Apparently, Jon Stewart touched a nerve last night with his devastating takedown of Bill O’Reilly’s Super Bowl interview with President Obama. So tonight, O’Reilly fired back with a Talking Points Memo called, “Making Jon Stewart Understand America.” Unfortunately for O’Reilly, I think he only made himself look out of touch.
Read moreAnn Coulter’s Dead ObamaCare Victim Story Just As Fishy As Her Voting Record
Ann Coulter told Fox & Friends an “ObamaScare” story Sunday about a friend’s sister whose death was supposedly caused by the Affordable Care Act. Host Tucker Carlson accepted the story without question, much less fact checking. Instead, he blurted out a soap-opera worthy, “That’s terrible!” Today, PolitiFact has rated Coulter's tale "Pants on Fire."
Read moreJon Stewart Smacks Down O'Reilly's Super Bowl Interview And Fox's Hypocritical Reaction
Jon Stewart gave Bill O'Reilly's Super Bowl interview with President Obama a comic shellacking last night. Then Stewart followed that up with an even bigger shellacking for the rest of Fox News' phony-baloney hissy fit over Obama's supposed "deflecting." With special ridicule for Andrea Tantaros.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Pimps Outrage Over Christian Movie Oscar Snub With Anti-Obama Film Producer
A Golden Globe nominated Taylor Swift song and a folk inspired piece from "Inside Llewyn Davis" were snubbed by this year's Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. But discussion about this pales when compared to howls of righteous Christian indignation over how a song, from an evangelical Christian movie, got an Oscar snub. The reason for doing so is clear. The songwriter e-mailed the song to members of the Academy and this was seen as an attempt to gain "unfair advantage." But in the world of Fox News, Christians are allowed to break the rules and those who call them out on it are part of Satan's minions. On yesterday's Fox & Friends, two of Fox's professional Christians Peter Johnson Jr. and Elisabeth Hasselbeck advanced the outrage in yet another patented persecuted Christian pity party. The patented evil Hollywood "picks on" godly Christians Fox narrative was advanced, later in the day, by "truth detector" Megyn Kelly who cited the Fox "brain room" to advance the agitprop.
Read moreCavuto Uses Scott Brown’s Shirtless Photo To Promote His Candidacy
Neil Cavuto blatanntly promoted Fox News contributor Scott Brown ae a great candidate because of his good looks yesterday. Cavuto noted that Brown is tied in a poll with New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and he made a special point of letting Brown, formerly a Senator in Massachusetts, say he lives in New Hampshire (a sore point). But mostly Cavuto praised how Brown looked in a shirtless photo after a polar plunge.
Read moreJames Carville Not Sure Whether Or Not Fox News ‘Tilts Right’
Hillary Clinton and President Obama must have hit quite the nerve with their Super Bowl smackdowns of Fox News bias on Sunday. That is, if the network’s ongoing hissy fit over them is any indication. Tonight, James Carville was handed his own opportunity to smack down Fox on a proverbial silver platter and – he mostly gave them a pass.
Read moreFox’s Unfair, Unbalanced Fear Mongering About Obama’s Executive Orders
Last week, Fox News host Eric Bolling helped Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) fear monger about President Obama’s using executive actions to bypass Congress, and his bill to enable (junk) lawsuits to stop it. Predictably, no mention was made of how executive orders have been upheld by the Supreme Court and have been used for such actions as the emancipation of slavery.
Read moreNeil Cavuto’s Hair-Splitting Benghazi Question: Is An Act Of Terror Really The Same As A Terrorist Act?
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) visited Fox’s Your World show yesterday to attack President Obama over the zombie Benghazi scandal. Yesterday’s excuse for keeping it undead? Whether or not President Obama’s description of the attack as an “act of terror” was, as host Neil Cavuto put it, “really the same as (calling it) a terrorist act?”
Read morePeter Johnson Jr. Whines About Hollywood Academy 'Picking On' Christian Film
The religious right's church of perpetual persecution believes that Hollywood liberals, who are corrupting the culture of Christian America, are anti-Christian. As the media mouthpiece for persecuted Christians who hate Hollywood, Fox News loves to point out that Hollywood (and Jon Stewart) hates Christians. The newest thing to have godly Christian panties in a bunch is the "blacklisting" of a Christian film whose best Original Song nomination was nixed because the song's composer violated Oscar rules. But on Fox & Friends such complexities do not apply to Christians who, according to the gang on the curvy couch, are targets of liberal Hollywood's religious bigotry. It's time to pity party!
Read moreObama Tells O’Reilly: Fox News Is ‘Absolutely’ Unfair
Bill O’Reilly played Part 2 of his interview with President Obama tonight. They discussed the Keystone Pipeline and other issues, including an attempt by O’Reilly to lecture Obama about black social issues. Obama deftly turned it aside. But the most interesting moments came when Obama confronted O’Reilly about Fox News’ bias against him.
