On Fox & Friends this morning, the topic for discussion was, supposedly, “Why did China let Edward Snowden leave?” And who, except Sarah Palin, would know less on the subject than Donald Trump? But Trump does one have expertise beyond tooting his own hair, I mean horn: His birther schtick. Not surprisingly, he found a way to work it into the discussion – and everyone on the Curvy Couch seemed to appreciate it.

Poor ole Mike Huckabee.  While he tries to understand liberals, he can't because, aw shucks, they're just too darned weird - especially those silly libs who can't see the wisdom of the 20 week abortion bill which just passed the House. Poor ole Mike Huckabee just can't grasp why silly libs don't understand the "science" behind anti-choice legislation. Of course the "science" that he cites is totally bogus but who cares when you have anti-choice, anti-liberal, and anti-Obamacare talking points to push which is exactly what Mike Huckabee did, non-stop, for almost four minutes. Aw shucks.

America Live once again showed a shocking racial insensitivity by hosting Mark Fuhrman as a neutral analyst for the opening argument of the George Zimmerman trial. What’s even worse than hosting Fuhrman in the first place is that Megyn Kelly and her America Live staff knew from Fuhrman’s previous appearance discussing the case that he has already suggested that Zimmerman is the victim of a racial witch hunt and that he has described Trayvon Martin as a possible “dead suspect.” This time, Furhman reiterated his bias by saying that Martin “definitely could have left the scene” but chose instead to confront (i.e. instigate aggression toward) Zimmerman. And how did host Kelly react? By adding her own sympathetic-to-the-defense remarks.

Yesterday's Fox News Sunday didn't just have no Democratic interviewees, there wasn't a single Democrat or liberal columnist on the panel, either.

Whenever there is a news story which involves victimized conservatives or victorious conservatives, the Fox News website and Fox News TV classify it, with a big, bold banner, as "breaking news." During the Gosnell trial, every burp and fart seemed to have been designated as "breaking news." But when it comes to real news that isn't a conservative victory, it appears that Fox doesn't think it merits immediate "breaking" attention. At least a half hour ago, the Supreme Court threw a Texas affirmative action case back to the lower court for further review. The news is a top item on the CNN and MSNBC websites. But as this is written, the banner headline on Fox is about the Zimmerman trial. And it's nowhere on their home page. Never mind "fair & balanced," how bout timely? Hmmm....

How do we know that Fox Nation is bugged by the NSA leaks? Check out one of their latest headlines: Wikileaks Helps NSA Leaker Snowden Flea Hong Kong, Reportedly Seeking Asylum In Ecuador. Flea Hong Kong? (H/T Edwin M.)

Fox News occasionally features a few non-Catholic clergy; but their one true clergyperson, who gets the sweetest face time, is the sweet faced Catholic priest, Fr. Jonathan Morris. Morris is always willing to preach the GOP gospel to his Fox flock which, thanks to his Facebook cult who see him as divinely inspired, is growing (and for that Roger Ailes gives thanks and praise). He has been a key part of the "fair & balanced" (?) Fox support for the Catholic Church's opposition to the HHS mandate which requires all employers to provide birth control coverage, in their health care plans, except for church employees and parochial schools. The Catholic bishops are still whining that this is a "violation of religious freedom." As such, the anti-Obama Fox News provides Morris a pulpit from which to preach this message and in so doing, Morris actually said that Catholic priests should be willing to die for the cause. Last Sunday, a still alive Morris continued the whine and, once again, promoted the Fox News advanced "pro-life" lie about how the mandate covers abortion drugs. Bless you father, for you have sinned?

Another week, another crop of outrageous quotes from the "fair and balanced" folks at Fox News. Which one was the most outrageous? As usual, many can be nominated but only one can be the Most Outrageous Quote of the Week. And choosing that quote is up to you, dear readers. Cast your vote after the jump!

On Thursday, Bill O’Reilly announced his support for immigration reform – and, as Alan Colmes put it, conservative heads exploded. Colmes noted, "Hard to tell what’s worse to these people, liberals like me with whom they always disagree, or someone they generally admire who thinks for himself and doesn’t always tow the party line."

Yesterday’s Forbes on Fox hyped the doubling of student loan rates from 3.4% to 6.8% on July 1. Forbes publisher Rich Karlgaard wasn’t just all for the doubling, he thought that even that amount would be “way too low.”
