Fox & Friends Pimps 'Persecuted' Movie Because Religious Freedom Under Attack!
As Jon Stewart said, Fox News produces a "constant barrage of apocalyptic paranoia and outrage." This sage bit of wisdom is seen in Fox's ongoing promotion of the myth that American Christians are being persecuted by Satan's governmental minions whose evil gay and atheistic agendas seek to destroy our Christian nation. Meanwhile, back in the real world, these same whining Christians are seeking to deny civil rights for gays, roll back abortion rights, and force the teaching of Christian dogma in public schools because religious freedom. Last week, Fox&Friends, America's media haven for persecuted Christians, promoted a new Christian movie, hyped at CPAC, about - you guessed it - persecuted Christians.

After getting a comedic slaughtering on The Daily Show a few nights ago, Eric Bolling answered back – by pretending he and Jon Stewart agree on the need to fight “waste and abuse in addition to food stamp fraud.” Which may be true as far as it goes but completely missed the point of Stewart’s epic smackdown.

Fox News doesn’t just want to cut back on food stamps, they want to demonize those on food stamps as “takers.” The underlying message? Having them go hungry is good for the country. This, by the way, is the segment that prompted Jon Stewart’s epic response - which you can also watch here.

Read moreMegyn Kelly Promotes Radical Anti-Choice Group's Case Against Professor
Those who provide women with safe, reproductive health care face daily threats and harassment. Yet, incidents in which clinics are the targets of anti-choice violence are, as far as I know, ignored on Fox News which is an arm of the movement that seeks to eliminate safe, reproductive health care. Recently, a Montana abortion clinic was heavily damaged, allegedly by the son of a local anti-choice activist. Megyn Kelly, who was part of the Fox News hatefest directed against the murdered abortion provider, Dr. George Tiller, apparently didn't think it worthy of discussion. But she didn't have a problem showing her support for two anti-choice activists whose scuffle with an African-American college professor is now the top trender on anti-choice websites. Last night, during a context free discussion, Megyn Kelly proved, once again, the less than six degrees which separates Fox News from those who are waging a real war on women.

Bill O’Reilly lashed out at Russell Simmons last night for having the nerve to complain about his treatment on The O’Reilly Factor earlier this week. You may recall that when Simmons visited The Factor, O’Reilly spent much of the time haranguing him about Beyoncé and black entertainment. Last night was an excuse to do it all over again.
Read moreElisabeth Hasselbeck Whitewashes Duck Dynasty Patriarch's Homophobic Comments
For Fox News, nothing says real America like the Duck Dynasty family who are raking in the "Benjamin's" whilst promoting their hirsute, backwoods, Christian patriarchy shtick. When the family patriarch, Phil Robertson, made his biblically based God hates fags comments, Fox News *jumped to his defense. Fox's own liaison with the homophobic religious right, Mike Huckabee, said that Robertson's values are America's values. So now that Willie and Korie Robertson are featured in a new Christian movie, "God's Not Dead," it's no surprise that Fox would join its Christian zealots pals, including the hate group, The Family Research Council, in endorsing the movie. This morning, Fox friend Elisabeth Hasselbeck couldn't have been any more effusive in her praise for the movie and the family. She also couldn't have been any more disingenuous in her defense of patriarch Phil's ugly Christian homophobia

Jon Stewart shredded Fox News' war on the poor last night. His monologue was so devastating, so complete and so hilarious that I doubt Eric Bolling, the Fox host whose complaint about Stewart precipitated this response, will ever challenge him on the air again.
