Fox Helps Rand Paul Hype His ‘Free Market Plan To Rescue Detroit’
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) opened today’s Cashin’ In by promoting his plan to rescue Detroit. Host Eric Bolling introduced Paul by saying, “A beam of bright light is emerging from the right. This is an exclusive interview you’ll only see right here on Cashin’ In.” Even though the segment was called the “Hot Seat,” Bolling nodded in agreement most of the time. Some hot seat.
Read moreHerman Cain: Minimum Wage Workers Don't Really Want Raises
Fox News’ Neil Cavuto opened a discussion on Thursday by saying, “I sometimes wonder” whether fast food workers demanding $15 an hour wages are “union plants.” But instead of any actual reporting, he called on Herman Cain – whose record in the restaurant business is “marked by a long and largely successful battle against minimum-wage increases,” as Huffington Post put it. Cain assured Cavuto that the protesters must be plants because minimum-wage workers "appreciate those jobs."

One day after Your World was interrupted by the breaking news of Nelson Mandela’s death. So one would have hoped for at least one discussion today on the show about Mandela. But no.
Read moreJon Stewart Pits Stuart Varney Against Pope Francis
Fox Business Network’s Stuart Varney got his comedic come-uppance last night on The Daily Show. Host Jon Stewart compared Varney’s sneering attitude toward the "undeserving" working poor with Pope Francis' denunciation of unfettered capitalism. “You’re going up against the Pope on how to help the poor?” Stewart asked, with comic astonishment. Yes, Varney was – and guess who won?
Read moreBill O’Reilly Suddenly Good With ‘Happy Holidays’
Bill O’Reilly committed Christmas heresy last night during his “War on Christmas” discussion with Sarah Palin. Apparently, he was so overcome with good cheer, he forgot that Fox News’ chief reason for the season is to spread ill will toward those who say, “holiday” instead of “Christmas.” Shockingly, O’Reilly now said he doesn't "have a beef" with anyone who says "Happy holidays" Just as shockingly, Palin - who has a new book out about fighting the War on Christmas - agreed.
Read moreSarah Palin And Bill O’Reilly Suddenly Decide They Don’t Like Personal Attacks
Sarah Palin dropped her boycott of The O’Reilly Factor last night for not just one but two segments in which both she and Bill O’Reilly were (uncharacteristically) on their best behavior with each other. In fact, they each must have been so consumed by their new Era of Good Feelings, that the two past masters of hate mongering developed a sudden case of amnesia and repeatedly agreed with the other that they don’t like personal attacks.
Read moreFox Nation Readers React To Death Of Nelson Mandela With Racism, Death Wishes For Obama
Fox Nation posted a respectful article about Nelson Mandela’s death – and many of their readers responded in kind. But many erupted in such shocking racism and/or death-wishing hatred for President Obama that words fail us. You really need to see them for yourself. (H/T Andrew S.) UPDATED
Read moreFox & Friends Provides Warm Support For Poor, Maligned, And Very Hypocritical Sarah Palin
When Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke was viciously maligned by GOP boss Rush Limbaugh, for three days straight, those on Fox News didn't seem to care. In fact, they continued the defamation albeit in a much less sexual manner. But when former MSNBC host Martin Bashir articulated a crude response to Sarah Palin's extraordinarily stupid and offensive comparison of the national debt to slavery, those at Fox wanted his head on a platter. And now that he has resigned from MSNBC, Sarah Palin is flush with victory and where better to start the victory lap than on the curvy couch of Fox & Friends. She talked about the hurtfulness of Bashir's attack; but, interestingly, when Fluke was attacked by Rush Limbaugh, Palin was singing an entirely different tune.

Those self-styled America lovers over at Fox Nation have found a new way to hate monger against our president - and one that coincidentally fits in with Fox News' impeachment fever. Their latest? "Just asking" if President Obama will "ignore election laws."
