Fox Pretends Obama's Approval Rating Is Falling When It's Actually Rising
Fox Nation has a post up declaring Poll: Obama Job Approval Drops to 49%. But you have to wonder if Dick Morris is writing the Fox Nation headlines now. Because Obama's approval ratings have been climbing not dropping.
Read moreKrauthammer's Stunning Hypocrisy On Defective Intelligence - Benghazi v. Iraq
Eric Boehlert at Media Matters has found what you might call the "smoking gun" of Fox News hypocrisy in its Susan Rice hysteria: In 2005, Charles Krauthammer wrote a column in support of Condoleezza Rice's appointment as Secretary of State despite her role in promoting the invasion of Iraq: "(Democratic Senator) Mark Dayton of Minnesota accused her of lying in order to persuade the American people to go to war -- a charge that is not just false but that most Americans don't believe. Rice was not a generator of intelligence. She was a consumer -- of a highly defective product."
Read morePaging Bill O'Reilly, Dr. Manny Alvarez Says 'Holidays' Instead of 'Christmas'
OMG, it is shocking I say. Truly shocking that a member of Fox News' "medical A team," Dr. Manny Alvarez titled his article "Protecting Your Heart During the Holidays." Hasn't he gotten the Fox News message that the word is "Christmas" because, according to Bill O'Reilly that's the only thing that is celebrated this time of year. What's even more shocking is that he repeated this obscenity nine times. Oh, the humanity.
Read moreVan Susteren: Susan Rice Is The Victim Of Sexism Because The Media Hasn’t Been Tough Enough On Her
Greta Van Susteren managed to sound more moronic than Sarah Palin last night – and in a discussion about Benghazi, no less. The discussion began with Van Susteren asking, “Are the attacks on Ambassador Susan Rice sexism or something else?” The choice of Palin as a guest guaranteed the answer she’d get. And don’t tell me she didn’t know that. But Van Susteren put her own "feminist" spin on the situation by arguing that yes, Rice has been the victim of sexism – because she’s gotten a pass in the media.
Read moreGasparino Smears Buffett As An Obama 'Mouthpiece'
On yesterday’s Your World, Charles Gasparino called Warren Buffett "a very great speculator, (but) that doesn't mean he knows a damn thing about economic policy, and I can't believe people just keep turning to him as this sage about the economy... Especially lately he's become a mouthpiece of this administration. He's their corporate mouthpiece, or one of ‘em, particularly the most vocal one, he writes op eds, he goes on the stump with this guy, shows up with the President… at the State of the Union."
Read moreFox News Vs. Fox Latino On Lawsuit Against Gov. Brewer’s Denial Of Driver’s Licenses
Yesterday, a pair of articles, one on Fox News, the other on Fox Latino, each detailed a lawsuit against Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer’s denial of driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants in the state on work visas granted through Obama’s recent federal policy. The policy seeks to assist immigrants brought here as children, who have stayed here, gotten an education, and avoided a life of crime. Not surprisingly, the immigrants were painted in a more favorable light on Fox Latino while Gov. Brewer got better PR on FoxNews.com.
Read moreDon't Let Rupert Murdoch Gobble Up More Major U.S. Media
While Bill O’Reilly and the Fox Newsies hype their faux War on Christmas, their behind-the-scenes boss, Rupert Murdoch, is poised to receive some major gifts this month from the United States government in the form of a change in FCC rules that would allow him to buy the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune, the major papers in the nation’s second- and third-largest cities (where, incidentally, Murdoch already owns TV stations). This rule change was attempted in 2007, under the George W. Bush administration, but was repealed by the Senate and overturned by a federal court after a big public outcry. Now, the Obama administration is considering the same changes. We join with Free Press in urging that you speak out against this change.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Smears Sandra Fluke "With All Due Respect"
Although Megyn Kelly is a professional working mom, she is still part of the ladies auxiliary in the "war on women." The day before Rush started his three day full frontal attack on Sandra Fluke, Kelly, with her trademark snark, mocked Fluke and that was the beginning of Fox News' crusade against Fluke which, like the rest of the right wing slime factory, advanced the bogus talking point that Fluke wanted free birth control for herself - a notion that morphed into ongoing claims that Fluke was, as Rush asserted, a slut. Kelly and other Fox talkers also accused Fluke of having a sense of "entitlement." Now that Sandra Fluke has been nominated for Time Magazine's "Person of the Year," the right wing is ballistic. The Five's, Andrea Tantaros smeared Fluke by promoting the false and defamatory meme that Fluke wants free birth control for herself. And earlier this week, during a panel discussion on Fluke, Megyn Kelly didn't disappoint!
Read moreBill O'Reilly Hates Big Government - Except For Lady Parts!
Earlier this week, Bill O'Reilly brayed about the awesome freedom and prosperity of non-nanny state Texas - as opposed to California which, for Bill, represents the worst of the "nanny state." He provided stats which showed that Texas is ahead of California on a number of matrices. As with much of O'Reilly's bloviation, his stats aren't entirely correct. And during his diatribe, he asserted that Texas doesn't believe in "micro-managing" its residents. As with much of O'Reilly's bloviation, that too is malarkey, given that Texas abortion restrictions are all about micro-managing women's bodies, including reading scripts that are, like Bill's, a steaming pile of bold, fresh, Texas sized bullshit!
Read moreO’Reilly Spreads Christmas Joy By Shouting At Gov. Chafee For Having A Holiday Tree Instead Of A Christmas Tree
Bill O’Reilly interviewed his scapegoat of the week, Governor Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, tonight regarding his sin of calling the state’s tree a “holiday tree” instead of a “Christmas tree.” Every year, O’Reilly carries on his malicious crusade against those who don’t celebrate the holiday the way he thinks they should – and then blames them for ruining it. Tonight, his antics turned laugh-out-loud ridiculous as he repeatedly shouted at Chafee for “making people unhappy” and then shouted, “I’m not angry! I’m a happy guy!”
