While two polls and most Democrats seem to agree that President handily won the debate tonight, Sean Hannity thought otherwise. And, surprise, surprise! He dissembled in making his point.

Here we go again... Share your thoughts and opinions along with me in our comments section. I just got an embed code so the debate is streaming after the jump.

On yesterday’s Your World, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was asked by Neil Cavuto about Mitt Romney closing the polling gap in Michigan in spite of the fact he opposed the auto bailout. “The knee jerk reaction is that those in your state would be very sore about Mitt Romney’s opposition to that auto bailout. Yet he seems to be faring OK. Why is that?” Neil asked.

It was bad enough that “liberal” Greta Van Susteren ignored Paul Ryan’s dishwashing-gate last night. Predictably, so did the rest of her prime time colleagues. But she not only found time for the Paul Ryan Girl, she called it “the music video you have to see!”

In addition to "Fox News bishops" there is a Fox News priest. Fr. Jonathan Morris is not your average parish priest. He joined Fox News when he was stationed in Rome as a member of the disgraced "Legion of Christ" and very close pal of the  order's pedophile (and baby daddy) founder, Fr. Marcial Maciel who pandered to the rich and famous. While Morris is officially stationed at NYC's Old St. Patrick's Cathedral, he finds time to go on various international junkets with his very special pal, Cardinal Dolan whose opposition to the president's birth control mandate has received reverent validation on Fox by Morris and Fox hosts. Despite other clergy who occasionally make appearances on Fox, Morris has a weekly Sunday gig during which he validates GOP right wing talking points that reach a vast Fox News "parish." So it was no surprise that Morris would support the bishops' "rebuke" of Joe Biden over his debate remarks about the mandate. And given that the bishops are implying that Biden is a liar, it wasn't surprising that Morris suggested the same thing!

Jon Stewart does it again. After noting that MSNBC acknowledged President Obama blew his presidential debate performance, Stewart compared that to Fox's whiny attempts to delegitimize Biden's win. Stewart summed it up with, "Joe Biden was an agnry, demented, abusive, drunk, old crazy person who mopped the floor with our guy."

If anything should discredit Fox’s attempts to turn Benghazi into Watergate, it’s their use of Donald Rumsfeld to throw stones of foreign policy blunders and cover-ups from his Iraq “Weapons of Mass Destruction” glass house. Not that that would ever be mentioned on “fair and balanced” Fox. In fact, I can’t recall even a scintilla of the interest in the false premises used by the George W. Bush administration to invade Iraq as there is in fingerpointing against the Obama administration before the Benghazi investigation has been completed. So it looks like a twofer for Fox in trotting out Rumsfeld to attack Obama. On the one hand, it looks like an authoritative attack coming from a former Secretary of Defense that Fox viewers saw little to no questioning of his credibility. At the same time, it helps boost that cred by disappearing those black marks on his record.

Fox Nation did a "salute" to Senator Arlen Specter in commemoration of his death yesterday. But the readers were less than salutory. It's possible they rated the post "inspiring" because they wanted to give props to Specter's career as a public servant. And, in fairness, the other options are not much more fitting: offensive, funny, cool, obnoxious, scary and crazy. But the comments left by the readers suggest their respect for the dead ends at the conservative end of the spectrum. They also leave no doubt that the hate spigot never stops against political foes on Fox Nation - which still boasts about being a place of tolerance and civility. (H/T Christopher S.)

With gentle barbs and humor - but no finger pointing or shouting - Bill Moyers did a devastating take down of Bill O'Reilly's attack on him as "the poster child for the federal deficit." After highlighting many of O'Reilly's falsehoods and mistakes, Moyers invited him for "a civil conversation about our differences. No editing. No tricks. I'll even introduce him to our fact checkers, some of the best in the world. We use them, too."

Fox & Friends' relationship with the truth seems to be on shaky grounds given the number of times that they have been called on their misinformation which they only rarely correct. Given the pattern, one wonders whether it's faulty research and fact checking or blatant attempts to promote right wing propaganda. Such was the case, on Sunday's Fox & Friends, during which Dave Briggs and the guest, Steven Crowder, promoted the right wing viral lie that the President is distributing free phones to minorities poor people. And in addition to the verbal propaganda, the lie was further reinforced by chyrons and a backdrop visual that looked like an official Obama administration website for obtaining "Obama Phones." It's not. It's unclear what Obamaphone.net is. However, it does seem to be part of the attempt to advance a right wing lie being advanced on the "fair & balanced" Fox News network.
