Megyn Kelly Uses Hate Group Leader, Tony Perkins, To Attack Episcopal Priest, Episcopal Church
In addition to being America's Newsroom, Fox News is also the defender of the faith - Christian that is. While the Catholic Church is Fox's most favored religion, it never wastes an opportunity to defend evangelicals against perceived affronts from evil secularists. But in the "fair & balanced" world of Fox News, not all American religions are created equal. Such was the case last week, when Fox News attacked the Episcopal priest who dared to criticize evangelical leaders during the Easter service at which our secret Muslim president and his family were in attendance. As this inflamed the Christian right, who view the gay affirming Episcopal Church as apostate, it was no surprise that Fox was on it. The "outrage" was advanced by Megyn Kelly's propagandapalooza which used, as a conduit for the "outrage," the head of the homophobic hate group, The Family Research Council. Now that's "fair & balanced" and true Fox Christianity at its finest!

It turns out Megyn Kelly’s adoration of “citizen journalism” – even when it involved illegal recording of ACORN employees - completely vanishes when it’s Republican Senator Mitch McConnell on the unflattering end of public scrutiny. In case you missed it, Mother Jones released a secret tape of McConnell aides plotting how to smear Ashley Judd as a potential opponent for McConnell's senate seat. Instead of paying attention to the substance of what was caught – legally – Kelly helped further McConnell’s narrative of baselessly attacking Democrats.

Looks like "good Christian" Todd Starnes is a whole lot more Michelle Malkin and a whole lot less Christ-like when it comes to tweeting. Unless you think that Jesus would approve of the kind of racially-tinged snark Starnes "asked" in a tweet today. UPDATED
Read moreBill O’Reilly Agrees: President Obama’s Cuts To Social Security Are Too Harmful To Low-Income Seniors
Bill O’Reilly probably stunned his viewers across the country tonight when he spoke out against President Obama’s proposed cuts to Social Security. Citing how his 90 year-old mother would have only Social Security to rely on if he didn’t help out, O’Reilly said about protesters in front of the White House, “Those left-wing groups may have a point.”

Kent Jones, over at The Maddow Blog caught Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera being taken to task in the New Orleans Times-Picayune over their disparaging comments about the city last Friday night. Among other things, Rivera called it the "Big Sleazy."
Read moreHannity 'Defends' Dr. Carson By Playing The Race Card Against Mainstream African Americans
Hannity continued his charade of racial sensitivity last night with an entire show devoted to making martyrs out of black conservatives, especially Hannity’s latest cause celebre, Dr. Ben Carson. The only problem? As Hannity whined that he is “livid” at being called a racist, one of his many bigoted pals, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, was right there in his cherry-picked, all-conservative, mainstream-African-American-hating studio “audience.” And there were plenty of digs at non-conservative African Americans – i.e. the vast majority of them – without anyone to speak on their behalf.
Read moreBill O'Reilly's Double Standard Re "God Hates Fags" Theology?
Notwithstanding a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him, his machinations to end the career of his ex-wife's boyfriend, and his attempts to consign his wife to eternal damnation, Bill O'Reilly is a devout Catholic who is always willing to defend the anti-abortion position of his church. That he's fully on board with the Church's belief that gay sex is also a ticket to eternal damnation was shown during last night's discussion about the Catholic chaplain at George Washington University who is the subject of controversy because of his Catholic views on gays - views which some students feel is a form of harassment and thus, a reason for the school to remove the priest from campus. The Catholic right, spurred on by O'Reilly's evil twin Bill Donohue, are incensed; so it's not surprising that O'Reilly would take up the cross for religious free speech. But in 2010, O'Reilly, in supporting the father of a fallen soldier who was suing the homophobic Westboro Baptist Church, didn't support their free speech. Obviously, in O'Reilly's world, not all God hates fags churches are created equal!
Read moreFox News Was For Visiting Cuba Before It Was Against It
It turns out Fox News' indignation at Beyoncé’s and Jay-Z’s trip to Cuba is a tad selective. Media Matters found that not so long ago, Fox was singing a very different tune.
Read moreO’Reilly Uses Thatcher’s Death To Bash Obama
Remember how Fox used Hugo Chavez’ death to gratuitously suggest that he was similar to President Obama? Tonight, “no spin zone” Bill O’Reilly used Margaret Thatcher’s death to dubiously report that she didn’t approve of Obama. O’Reilly forgot to point out that Thatcher was suffering from dementia the past 12 years. It’s quite unlikely she approved or disapproved of President Obama at all.
Read moreMegyn Kelly And Fox News Sued For Defamation Of Disabled Firefighter
Megyn Kelly's sneering and jeering about a disabled Milwaukee, Wisconsin firefighter who runs marathons has gotten her and her network in a wee bit of trouble. In 2011, Kelly aired a segment in which she and one attorney guest all but demanded that firefighter Aaron Marjala's disability payments be rescinded as they made no bones about portraying him as a faker.
