Fox News is providing a conduit for yet another bogus right wing outrage; i.e. the presence of children at President Obama's press event during which he spoke about gun violence - an issue about which these kids were so concerned that they wrote letters to the president. Fox Nation, which isn't concerned about the NRA ad targeting the president's children, had several threads which were critical of the president for doing this, one of which was written by the perpetually outraged (and outrageous) Michelle Malkin whose hatred for Barack Obama is almost palpable. But, as I reported, these same critics ignore the fact that President George W Bush also had children present for various events. So, in order to make sure that the Fox audience gets as outraged as Ms. Malkin, she appeared on this morning's Fox & Friends where she treated us to her patented sneering and snarling vitriol about President Obama.

Rupert Murdoch made an ass of himself on Twitter (again), this week as he used the hospitalization of an obese woman after she fell through a sidewalk to make a bunch of prejudiced sneers about her. He tweeted, "How did fat lady who fell thru street get to 400 lbs? Welfare, stamps, etc? Then leave us all with 20yrs immense health bills." 

On today’s Your World, Mark Levin was part of the predictable Fox News meltdown over President Obama’s executive orders to reduce gun violence. Neil Cavuto started by describing Republicans as “delirious, apoplectic more the word, over a President they say is now out of control.” There was no doubt whose side Cavuto was on when he said, “No wonder Constitutional lawyer Mark Levin is hitting the roof.”

We’re all familiar with Fox News’ practice of blaming everything on Obama, from the recession to the deficit to gas prices to the warts on their feet. Last night, O’Reilly and guest Charles Krauthammer added "trying to destroy the Republican party" to that list, ignoring the fact that the Republican party is destroying itself quite effectively all on its own.

Let's take a trip down memory lane back to 2007 when Bill O'Reilly, as War on Christmas commander-in-chief, declared war on Great Barrington Massachusetts. Bill sent his faithful stalker, Jesse Watters, to this beautiful town in the Berkshires in order to shame them over their curfew on OMG "holiday lights" due to environmental concerns. Suffice to say, the residents were not shamed. In 2008, O'Reilly lied that Great Barrington had tried "to discourage Christmas" in 2007 and because they still "opposed" it (lie) he had sent Watters back there to continue to shame the locals who, again, weren't impressed. And in an amazing bit of historical revision, Watters claimed that the Bill O'Reilly show "saved Christmas" in Great Barrington. In one of his last lies of 2012, O'Reilly asserted that Great Barrington "hates Christmas" - and just like his other assertions, this one just isn't true.

The "Fair & Balanced" news network never wastes an opportunity to attack the president even when it relates to the horrific massacre of school children in Connecticut. After word got out that some children, who had written to the president about gun violence, will be with President Obama when he discusses his proposals for making schools safer, the right wing immediately attacked. Fox Nation featured a thread with Rush Limbaugh's accusation that the president is using human shields. It also has Michelle Malkin's article and Fox's Chris Stirewalt's articles in which they essentially say the same thing. The wall of geniuses on last night's The Five were full of high dudgeon about the news. While the curvy couch potatoes on Fox & Friends were more measured, they advanced the Fox propaganda meme that the president is exploiting kids for his own agenda. (They also offered a suggestion as to how to get around the new NY gun laws). But these clowns have either forgotten or are ignoring the fact that their beloved George W Bush did the same thing and, as far as I know, nobody on Fox cared!

On yesterday's America Live, Pat Caddell spoke about the President being joined by children at press conference on a new gun control plan. He was allowed to talk uninterrupted for almost a minute as he bashed President Obama. Megyn Kelly asked if Obama had gone “beyond the pale.”

You just can't make this up. A guy whose lucrative métier is based on personal attacks is now offering "tips" on how to be a better person. Yes, folks, it's non other than Bill O'Reilly who now has a nightly "tip of the day" during which O'Reilly proffers advice on stuff like Christmas (not Hanukkah) gifts and the good Karma of being nice to people which is rather ironic given that O'Reilly specializes in not being nice - a characteristic for which he was given a "Courage Award" by a hate group for his efforts in contributing to a climate of hate in which an abortion provider, whom O'Reilly dubbed a "killer," was murdered. Last night, this paragon of morality advised his viewers to be "magnanimous" - unlike that nasty Julianne Moore who, according to America's Daddy, took a "cheap shot" at Sarah Palin during Moore's acceptance speech at the Golden Globes. OH, the irony! OH, the hypocrisy!

Right now, at the top of "fair and balanced" Fox Nation, is a story with the headline, "Major Garrett Calls Obama Out On Vote Against Debt Ceiling." The article, itself, is a video and transcript of Fox News alum Garrett's gotcha question for Obama at today's press conference. But if you think Fox Nation didn't deliberately choose the most unflattering photo of Obama they could find, then I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Fox News is an alleged "fair & balanced" "news" network that never wastes an opportunity to feature a seemingly endless supply of persecuted Christians. Still simmering from the bogus outrage about an MSNBC host supposedly demanding that the bible be banned from presidential inaugurations, the church of the perpetually outraged has their tidy Christian whiteys in a bunch because a public school science teacher was, according to Fox tidy Christian whitey king Todd Starnes, told to take down Christian religious visuals from her class. Items included a poster with a bible verse superimposed on an American flag and OMG, a Christian quote from the GOP lord of lords, Ronald Reagan. While it appears that this stuff crosses the line of separation of church and state, not so for the Christian right who received warm fellowship and validation from alleged Fox News anchor, Megyn Kelly on today's "must see" America Live "news" show.
