Fox Nation 'Observes' Martin Luther King Day By Race Baiting President Obama
Today is Martin Luther King Day but you'd probably not know that by reading Fox Nation. Not only is there no commemoration of King nor his work but the top story right now is a race baiting headline, with certain words in red, for extra emphasis: Obama: Some Folks Don't Like Me Because I'm Black. It turns out Fox cherry picked that quote out of a lengthy article that was a much broader picture of Obama. (H/T Andrew S.)
Mike Huckabee: Making Babies Is Women's Empowerment?!
When it comes to anti-choice extremism, Fox's Mike Huckabee is king of them all, y'all. He opposes abortion except when a woman's life is at risk. He has compared abortion to the Holocaust and in doing was criticized by the ADL. He has called for a federal ban on abortion. He supports "personhood" for the fetus which, if enacted into law, would also ban certain types of birth control. In the war on women's reproductive rights, he's in the Praetorian Guard. On his Saturday night show, he used the occasion of the annual "March for Life," taking place this week in Washington DC and other cities, to preach his anti-choice message which shows us, once again, that Fox News is the media mouthpiece for a patriarchal system that seeks to drive us back to the days of the back alley which, despite Huckabee's assertion to the contrary, isn't empowering women at all!
Read moreFox Guest Suggests Raising Minimum Wage An Obama Plan To Sabotage The Poor
Yesterday’s Forbes On fear mongered about the possibility that Obamacare cancellations may hurt small business workers. Several of the (as usual) imbalanced panel argued that President Obama was deliberately punishing small business with the program because they are Republicans. However, guest John Tamny took the bashing to a whole new level. He made the ludicrous suggestion that Obama’s efforts to reduce income inequality are a sign that he HATES poor people.
Read moreFox News Sunday Ignores New Christie Scandal Developments
In case you missed it, there are major new developments in the Chris Christie “Bridgegate” scandal. The mayor of Hoboken, NJ has come forward to accuse the governor of threatening to withhold Hurricane Sandy relief funds unless she supported the Rockefeller Project, a development project he favored. But you’d never know that from watching Fox News Sunday today. That show was too busy questioning the Obama administration to find any time to discuss Christie.
Read moreAnn Coulter's 'There's More Cholera Than Racism' Comment Wins Our Outrageous Quote
Ann Coulter's views on racism are about as trustworthy as her voting record, our readers seem to think. Her declaration that cholera is now more prevalent in the United States than racism was the decisive winner in our Fox News Outrageous Quote of the Week poll.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Makes Bogus Claim That Mainstream Media Ignored Pope's Comment On Abortion
Pope Francis' views on the evils of the trickle-down system of capitalism don't comport with Bill O'Reilly's gospel of f**k the poor. But when it comes to abortion, the devout, divorced Catholic O'Reilly is solidly with the Pope. Tuesday night, O'Reilly excoriated the so called liberal media for having played up the Pope's comments about social justice while ignoring the Pope's recent comments which condemn abortion. It was vintage O'Reilly. While claiming that the media exploits the Pope, he clearly used the Pope to smear the media. So O'Reilly double standard, check. And in attempting to smear the media, he provided information that wasn't true. So O'Reilly lie - check. But Bill O'Reilly is a devout Catholic and divinely inspired, too. So it's all good....
Read moreFox Nation Readers Salivate Over Murdering President Obama
On January 3, 2014, Fox Nation posted an article about O.J. Simpson “begging” President Obama to pardon him. Fox Nation often posts stories that seem to have no purpose other than to race bait, especially against President Obama. This one seems to be no exception. But what’s even worse is that readers freely expressed blatant desires to murder President Obama. Sadly, it's a common occurrence on Fox Nation. So why isn't there any moderating? More than two weeks later, the threats were still there when I started writing this post (about 40 minutes ago). Rest assured I will report them to the White House as soon as this post is finished. (H/T Barbara S.)
Read moreGutfeld: Media Giving Hillary A Pass On Benghazi To Make Up For Supporting Obama In 2008
Greg Gutfeld may be the winner of Fox’s Most Creative Way To Turn Chris Christie’s “Bridgegate” Scandal Into Benghazi award this week. Gutfeld “just asked” if the media wasn’t giving Hillary Clinton a “box of candy” in its coverage in order to make up for their support of “prom king” Barack Obama in 2008. Yuk, yuk.
Read moreAnthony Weiner Vs. Megyn Kelly On ObamaCare
Say what you will about Anthony Weiner but he was a consistently great guest on Fox News. Tonight, he visited The Kelly File for a debate about ObamaCare. In my opinion, he got the best of Megyn Kelly's attempts to smear the president. Tell me what you think.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Promotes Rush Limbaugh’s Attack On Bruce Springsteen Over Christie Scandal
The Kelly File got around to talking about Chris Christie’s Bridgegate scandal last night – sort of. The show played a clip from Bruce Springsteen’s and Jimmy Kimmel’s hilarious sendup of Christie, via a Born To Run satire. And then Kelly spent the rest of the segment channeling Rush Limbaugh’s attack on Springsteen for being such a meany to Christie.
