Shannon Bream Advances Fox Whine About IRS 'Targetting' Churches
The Fox News stable is full of conservative Christians, with the majority of the heavy hitters being conservative Catholics. While Shannon Bream isn't part of the Fox first string line-up, she does provide news commentary and fills in for hosts. But in whatever function she fulfills, she provides Fox's Christian perspective which customarily consists of propaganda that corresponds to whatever Christian right talking point she is pushing, such as her support for anti-LGBT legislation. Last night, in keeping with the Christian right/Fox meme that the religious liberty of Christians is under attack, a theme she echoed in her coverage of gay issues, she advanced the now popular Fox meme about evil atheists using the evil IRS to harass good Christians. It was trademark Bream.

After world fury over Israel’s deadly strike on a U.N. school in the Palestinian territory, the “down-the-middle” Kelly File show tonight did its best to suggest that Israel did the right thing. Unfortunately for substitute host Shannon Bream, U.N. spokesman Chris Gunness was a very well-prepared guest who was not going to go quietly into that henhouse Fox wanted to referee from.
Read moreFox & Friends Propaganda Fail? Donald Trump Defends Al Sharpton!
It would appear that despite the best laid plans of Fox News producers, Fox contributors don't always follow the pre-scripted propaganda plan of attack. Yesterday morning, during Donald Trump's weekly rant, the curvy couch cretins teed up what looked to be a coordinated attack on the Rev. Al Sharpton who, in the Fox playbook, is considered a "race hustler" worthy of the hate and scorn directed against him by Fox talkers. Trump was tossed the propaganda ball - and then he dropped it! But Steve Doocy was still able to insult Sharpton, so it was all good.

Geraldo Rivera gave co-host Andrea Tantaros just what she deserved yesterday as she didn’t just defend an Israeli attack on a U.N. shelter in Gaza but blamed the Gaza children for being there in the first place.

Fox & Friends is America's Christian morning chat show, so it follows that, as the tide goes in and the tide goes out, the show would happily share the news that a Mississippi Tea Party US Rep. has sent bibles to all his fellow members of congress. This morning, the curvy couch Christians couldn't have been any happier.

James S. Brady, former Press Secretary to Ronald Reagan, died today. You may recall that Brady was shot in the head during the 1981 assassination attempt on President Reagan and, though never fully recovered, became an advocate for stronger gun laws. For that, some people in "America loving" Fox Nation thought he deserved to die.

The Hannity show brought back the discredited “terrorism expert” Steve Emerson to both frighten the bejesus out of viewers about home-grown terrorists and smear President Obama as their BFF in America. While he was at it, Emerson blamed Obama and Hillary Clinton for the war in Gaza, too.
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: Rudy Giuliani Defends 'Stop & Frisk,' Ignores Fatal NYPD Chokehold
As the media outlet for those who believe that scary minority men are inherently dangerous and should be closely monitored, Fox News was not happy with a federal judge's ruling that the NY Police Department's "stop & frisk" practice was unconstitutional because it was a form of racial profiling. After the decision, Fox went into high gear with an onslaught of misinformation and lies about how this practice reduced crime. Last Thursday, Fox & Friends hosted former NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani who continued to pimp this propaganda in claiming that NY City, under his administration, was far safer than it is under Mayor de Blasio. Meanwhile, he ignored the NYPD's record of police brutality towards minorities, including the recent chokehold, now ruled a homicide, which caused the death of a black man. Obviously, not an issue for the Giuliani worshiping curvy couch Caucasians who think that the NYPD is being "demonized."
