Van Susteren Sends Stalker Producer To Gun Map Publisher's Home
“Liberal” Greta Van Susteren did her part tonight on behalf of Fox News’ war against the Journal News newspaper, a small paper in Westchester County, New York that had the audacity to print a map of local gun owners. Now, after revealing that the paper's employees "are now fearing for their lives," Van Susteren sent ambush producer Griff Jenkins to interview the publisher - which he almost surely knew he’d not accomplish, given Fox News’ obsession with attacking the paper. So he went to her house - where he also almost surely knew he'd not succeed in talking to her. Van Susteren aired a photo of the woman, Jenkins named the town the publisher lives in and the camera person made sure to get a shot that shows what the house looks like from the street.

On Fox & Friends, the crying over higher taxes for people making over $400,000 a year and couples making over $450,000 was on. Brian Kilmeade opened by asking "Is it possible we could see riots in the streets?" He never said what riots or where. Beverly Hills?
Read moreMike Huckabee Exploits Savita's Death To Push Pro-Life Lies
Savita Halappanavar died a painful death because, according to her husband, staff at a Galway, Ireland hospital refused to perform a lifesaving abortion because of their Catholic faith. Protests were held. Governmental investigations have begun and politicians are considering softening Ireland's draconian abortion laws which force Irish women to travel abroad for abortions. The Irish anti-choice movement, which is defending the hospital and fighting any changes in abortion laws, was recently given warm validation by Fox News host, Mike Huckabee who opposes abortion in all cases. He was joined by his favorite anti-choice gal pal, sweet lil Lila Rose, whose sting videos still haven't destroyed Planned Parenthood. Huckabee and the representative from an Irish "pro-life" group lied about Savita's case. Lila trashed Planned Parenthood and expressed hope that some day, US abortion law will mirror Ireland's. Once again, fair & balanced Fox News provides a platform for anti-choice fanatics who, in this case, are using a tragedy to promote propaganda and lies.
Read moreTodd Starnes' Possibly Racially Charged Tweet Elicits Racist Response
As reported by a number of news outlets and Fox News, the Mall of Louisiana had to be evacuated when a flash mob of local teens got out of control. Many of the teens were African-American. So one wonders whether Fox Radio and Fox News conservative, Christian, culture warrior and “gun toting, chicken eating son of a Baptist" Todd Starnes' rather cryptic tweet about the incident suggested some racial bias - unlike his 2011 Tweet, "Blacks Riot at Burger King," which was clearly racist. While we can't say for sure that Todd's lack of "surprise" about the incident was because the perpetrators were black, we can say that at least one of his Twitter followers just might be a racist!

Greta Van Susteren appeared on This Week yesterday and went to bat for her Fox New colleagues who had accused Hillary Clinton of faking a concussion to avoid testifying about Benghazi.
Read moreO’Reilly, McGuirk And Gutfeld Double Down On Smearing Hillary Clinton And Her ‘Fake’ Concussion
In a nauseating discussion Friday night, Bill O’Reilly, Greg Gutfeld and Bernard McGuirk showed just how mean-spirited and small-minded they are as they not only failed to admit that Hillary Clinton is owed an apology from the people on their network who accused her of faking a concussion but suggested that she deserved it. And then attacked the left for faking their concern.
Read moreGeraldo Schools O’Reilly On That New York Paper Printing The Addresses Of Local Gun Owners
Finally, someone on Fox got it and explained it about that upstate New York newspaper which published the names and addresses of gun owners. It’s a story that Fox has been harping on incessantly and almost entirely from a biased, distorted and definitely unbalanced perspective. But on Friday night’s O’Reilly Factor (1/4/13), Geraldo Rivera helped nudge the scales back a tad.
Read moreFr. Jonathan Morris: School Choice Only Answer To Bad "Government Schools"
The Christian right still can't deal with the reality of the Supreme Court decision which ruled that public school prayer is unconstitutional. But some members of the Christian right are undeterred by those silly Supremes and that's why there are periodic attempts, by Christian right politicians, to enact legislation mandating school prayer. As the mouthpiece for the religious right, it wasn't surprising to see, on the Fox & Friends weekly Catholic catechism class, Fr. Jonathan Morris discuss Indianal egislation that would allow the Lord's Prayer to be said in public schools. And while he didn't really agree with mandatory school prayer, he was able to preach the Christian right agitprop message about the evils of "government schools" and the need for school vouchers. Rather than making lemonade out of lemons, maybe you could say that he made holy water out of pond scum?
Read moreBill O'Reilly's Christmas Crusade Praised By White Nationalist Hate Group Founder
Given that Bill O'Reilly has lamented the demise of the white, Christian, male power structure and seems to be concerned about how "the white establishment is now the minority" in a country where the president was elected by minorities who want "free stuff," it's not surprising that he would have a soul brother in Peter Brimelow, the founder of the white nationalist, anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic SPLC designated hate group, VDARE. Not only is Brimelow concerned, as is O'Reilly, that "weird aliens with dubious habits" are destroying traditional America; but like O'Reilly, he's really, Really concerned about the "Christophobes" and Jews who are trying to ruin Christmas. In fact, he seems to be the source of what has become O'Reilly's and Fox's season cottage industry the, wait for it - War on Christmas. And he's proud of his spawn, as reflected in his recent praise of Bill O'Reilly's valiant effort to beat back the heathen hordes!
Read moreO’Reilly Takes Credit For Release Of American Jon Hammar’s Release From Mexican Prison
We can add Mexico to the list of countries and entities that Bill O’Reilly thinks he has vanquished from his mighty microphone. You may recall how his boycott of France cost them “billions of dollars” (a claim Media Matters proved false) and how Pepsi canceled a Ludacris ad thanks to him. I’m not sure what the result of his threats to Canada and Aruba were. But now that a former Marine has been released from a Mexican jail after an extensive on-air campaign by O’Reilly and Fox News, O’Reilly announced last night, “The only reason the Mexicans let him out in the first place is because I told them if they didn’t, there was going to be real trouble economically down there for them.”
