Fox & Friends Ignore Yazidis, Give Impression Only Christians Are Being Persecuted In Iraq
As America's Christian "news" network, Fox News promotes Christianity over other religions. While Israel is strongly supported, the Jews, who are overwhelmingly liberal, are not part of Fox's featured religious programming. The few rabbis who appear are Orthodox and politically conservative. Any other religion is outright ignored or denigrated as "fringe groups." Islam, on Fox, is "bashed with impunity." In keeping with the meme, this morning's Fox & Friends went beyond your typical Fox & Friends persecuted Christian piece. while discussing the plight of Iraqi religious minorities, failed GOP congressional candidate Rev. Michael Faulkner made an encore Fox appearance to say that only Christians are being persecuted in Iraq and Obama doesn't care. Meanwhile, the Yazidis are slowly dying on an Iraqi mountaintop because of their beliefs. Nothing to see here, move along...

Fox contributor Erick Erickson wrote a column for Townhall.com on Thursday fear mongering about the end of traditional marriage – and arguing that same sex marriages means a country is “bent on suicide.”
Read moreSteve Doocy Thinks 'In God We Trust' Speaks To All Americans!
America's Christian morning show, otherwise known as Fox & Friends, knows that you can't be a real American if you don't believe in God. This also seems to be the belief of a Texas county tax assessor who has started printing "in God we trust" on official county correspondence. He has received few complaints; but that didn't stop him from appearing on Fox & Friends where Steve Doocy responded to his commentary with pious patriotic pride and, once again, proved that not only is he an idiot - but he plays one on TV!
Read moreHeather Nauert Doesn’t Want To Reveal Fox’s Ratio Of Liberal To Conservative Pundits
Bill O’Reilly was so sure Fox truly is fair and balanced that he asked Fox host Heather Nauert how many liberal pundits are employed by Fox vs. how many conservatives. While Nauert proudly announced that 19 liberals are on the Fox payroll, she did not want to compare that with the number of conservatives.
Read moreFox Economist Overstates Cost Of Educating Undocumented Children By $385 Million
Yesterday, Steve Moore, chief economist for the Heritage Foundation wildly inflated the cost of educating 50,000 undocumented children this upcoming school year. Even though Moore's own employer found otherwise, host Neil Cavuto did not set the record straight.
Read moreHannity Prods Prime Minister Netanyahu To Attack President Obama As Too Muslim Friendly
Sean Hannity spent almost a full hour on a lapdog interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last night. The whole thing served as little more than an infomercial for Israel’s attacks on Gaza. Hannity’s slobbering admiration for Netanyahu was bad enough when you contrast that with his blatant hostility toward President Obama. But Hannity deliberately baited the foreign prime minister to smear our American president for giving foreign aid to Egypt and Palestine. Can you just imagine the Hannity hissy fit if an MSNBC host went to any foreign country and tried to get its leader to malign President George W. Bush?
Read moreFox’s Stirewalt Uses Iraqi Airstrikes As An Excuse To Swipe At Obama
As we waited for President Obama’s announcement tonight that he has authorized limited airstrikes on ISIS in Iraq, The Kelly File called on Fox’s digital politics editor, Chris Stirewalt, to chat about the difficult choices facing President Obama. But Stirewalt deflected and used his airtime to take swipes at Obama over Russia, Gaza, Libya, Syria, his approval ratings, his rhetorical habits and more. Substitute host Shannon Bream never objected.
Read moreThe Five's Catholics Diss Catholic Teaching On Immigration?!
The Five's Catholics support Catholic positions which correspond to right wing ideology, such as reproductive rights and the ACA birth control mandate. Eric Bolling and Kimberly Guilfoyle frequently allude to their faith. But they don't have the same zealotry when it comes to immigration, an issue on which their Church is quite liberal. Last week (7/30), The Five attacked Rep. Nancy Pelosi for her commentary on immigration which referenced the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. Rather than examine what the Pope and Catholic leaders have said about the issue, the crew used her statement to push anti-immigration talking points and defend themselves against charges that they hate immigrant children and are bad Christians. Oh, nooo.....
Read moreBill O'Reilly Promotes Now Discontinued 'Prayer Discount'
Although Bill O'Reilly has no breaking the commandments about bearing false witness and telling lies, he does consider himself a man of faith. So, in the spirit of Christian fellowship, he used his Tuesday "tip of the day" to encourage his viewers to stop by a diner, in North Carolina, for a discount if they say "grace" before their meal. But sadly, for Bill, this practice (about which Bill wasn't totally accurate) has been discontinued due to - wait for it - those nasty atheists at the Freedom From Religion Foundation so odds are that we'll hear more about this on Fox!

Stephen Colbert took up the subject of the viral "apparently boy" video with a hilarious twist last night. Let's just say that Sean Hannity is probably one of the few people who wasn't laughing.
