Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words. So while I'm conjuring up my next thousand words for the posts for today, check out this cartoon of the Carlson-Hannity-Drudge Ltd. RACE BAIT SHOP. H/T long-time reader "mj - the same one." Thanks, mj!

Sometimes something happens that dispels all doubt of Fox News’ bias so effectively that it needs no explanation. Take Ben Stein’s appearance on the Ocober 18^th Fox & Friends when he announced that cutting spending isn’t enough, we also have to raise tax rates on people making at least $2 million a year. Steve Doocy interrupted him to say forcefully, “So you don’t think WASHINGTON JUST HAS A SPENDING. PROBLEM,” while the other two stared daggers his way. Then they spent the next two minutes trying (and failing) to coax him to exactly that talking point. 

While Bill O'Reilly's satirical doppelganger, Stephen Colbert, doesn't see color, the real Bill O'Reilly doesn't see the real war on women's reproductive rights that is being waged as we speak. As Bill needs to be educated on this matter, I submit, for his edification, the Florida ballot issue Amendment Number 6.

Sarah Palin’s brother and father went all Tagg Romney on Hannity last night as her brother revealed that there have been times when “I’ve had to hold him back from going after some of these people” that have attacked her verbally. Oh, and her father also indirectly said Palin lied in her book.

Roger Ailes, head of Fox News, has signed a new four-year contract to head Fox News, Fox Business, Fox stations, and 20th Television. Ailes' new contract may match Rupert Murdoch's salary of $30 million.

Earlier this week (10/16/12), Fox & Friends touted the notion that global warming ended 16 years ago, according to Britain’s Meteorological Office. Brian Kilmeade angrily asked. “The Obama administration has spent almost $60 billion to combat global warming and how’s that going?” In case you didn’t know the answer, a graphic on the screen had just blared, “WHO’S RUINING THE ECONOMY?”

On yesterday’s Your World, former Pennsylvania Senator (and former Fox News contributor) Rick Santorum spoke about early voting. Near the end, Neil Cavuto asked “How big a phenomenon is this early voting and in swing states particular, how is it going to sway?”

While the real America is a religiously diverse nation, with an increasing number of those who claim no faith, the America of Fox News is a Christian nation and a place where Jesus is alway welcome. In addition to the morning "friends," Jesus has a new BFF who is aglow with love for the lord and full of righteous Christian indignation towards those who are not.  As one of Jesus' Fox News anointed, Megyn Kelly is closely following the case of the Christian Texas cheerleaders who are suing their school district for prohibiting them from hoisting banners, with appropriately bellicose bible quotes, at high school football games. Recently, on her alleged "news" show, Kelly rejoiced when the cheerleaders won a temporary reprieve for their banners. And now that a Texas state district judge is allowing them to fly their banners until the next court date in June, Megyn Kelly is preaching that God "won" the case.

Bill O’Reilly purported to hold a fair and balanced discussion of the fierce reaction that greeted Mitt Romney’s “whole binders full of women” comment during the debate this week. And maybe it would have been if O’Reilly hadn’t repeatedly interrupted his two women guests to patronizingly insert his opinion that the whole thing was some kind of crazy (female) nonsense. To top it all off, he closed by telling his female guest who had been offended by Romney, “I don’t believe you’re being treated as a second class citizen. If somebody does treat you that way, let me know.” Like what, he's gonna beat them up on TV?

Fox News has upped the ante on its distract-and-scapegoat tactic to keep viewers from thinking President Obama won the presidential debate this week. This morning, on Fox & Friends, Tucker Carlson teamed up with Steve Doocy to call out the pitchforks for Candy Crowley's employment.
