WH Spokesman Jay Carney Smacks Down Jenna Lee
White House spokesperson Jay Carney got into it with Jenna Lee on deficit reduction and the Easter Egg Hunt of all things. Lee asked, “The President has said that he’s open to changing the way that Social Security benefits, the increase for Social Security benefits are figured out, are calculated. …He’s open to that as part of a big deal. But if the President feels so strongly that changing that would be great for our country as a whole, why not just do it? Why use it as a bargaining chip?"
Read moreTucker Carlson Gripes About President Obama’s Food Tester
As guest host of the Hannity show last night, Tucker Carlson boasted about a phony scoop from Maine Senator Susan Collins: that President Obama has a food tester. It would seem that neither he nor the Fox News producers knew or cared that it’s old news – and that presidential food testers have been at the White House since before President Obama. But, apparently, Carlson thinks President Obama should stop acting like “a king,” save some taxpayer dough and put himself at risk. And Fox News didn’t mind. UPDATED
Read moreFox Disguises A Republican Operative As A White House Tourist
Yesterday, on Fox & Friends, the "high school student" whose spring break trip was "ruined" because the White House cancelled his tour seemed just a little too slick with his anti-Obama talking points. And host Steve Doocy seemed suspiciously prepared to probe, I mean ask, about them.
Read moreAllen West Explains Why We Liberals Are So Afraid of Him
I am still mystified, gentle reader, by the fact that turfed-out-after-his-first-term Congressman Allen West is giving speeches at CPAC and being repeatedly interviewed on On the Record. Last night he was amplifying, to a fawning Greta Van Susteren, on his CPAC statement that “there's nothing on this green earth that a liberal progressive fears more than a black American who wants a better life and a smaller government!”
Read moreDid O'Reilly Factor Producer Put Partisan Words In The Mouth Of Its Republican Guest?
As part of our continuing look at Bill O'Reilly's attacks on Colorado's Democratic and openly gay Speaker of the House, Mark Ferrandino, News Hounds' Priscilla found a jarring snippet in yesterday's Denver Post. It quotes O'Reilly's first guest who went after discussed Ferrandino as saying that her accusation - that Ferrandino voted against "Jessica's Law," which would mandate sentencing for child molesters, because he cares more about the molesters than the victims - were words put in her mouth by Fox News producers.
Fox Nation Swoons Over Coulter’s Attack On Feinstein
Two-time voter-fraud suspect Ann Coulter went on the Hannity show last night to comment on Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s smackdown of Sen. Ted Cruz on gun regulation. Coulter surely knew why she was there and was prepared with one of her “witticisms,” almost certainly pre-planned and designed for maximum hate-monger and shock value: “I used to think women should not be able to vote and now I think liberal women should not be able to hold office.” Laughably, Coulter – who for years has been mocked as a transvestite or transgender – also said that she wasn’t talking only about women in the “biological sense.” So how did “civil” and “tolerant” Fox Nation react? By slobbering over Coulter and, as usual, ignoring her voting history.
Read moreMegyn Kelly & Bill Donohue Discuss Kinky Sex Craved Left's "Vicious" Attacks On Pope
Among its duties as media mouthpiece for conservative positions of the Catholic Church (war, capital punishment, immigration, social justice - not so much), Fox News is tasked with defending the pope against the onslaught of evil secularism such as the nasty librul media which Fox also has a sacred mission to bash at every opportunity. Because the reality based media has, accurately, reported on the Pope's conservative positions on birth control, gay marriage, and abortion - while also pointing out his support for that commie social justice thang - the non reality based Fox News is accusing the media of "attacking the pope". And who better to advance that meme than the anti-Semitic, homophobic, and pedophile priest defender, Bill Donohue who chatted with fellow (divorced and twice married neither time in the Catholic Church) Catholic Megyn Kelly who, regarding the new pope, just can't handle the truth. And as in any segment featuring the blustering Bill (who said the "nuns on the bus" are a scam"), there's a priceless nugget of insanity. In this case, Bill tells us that media bias against the pope is because the left loves kinky sex, Megan giggled. True Story.
Read moreCavuto Helps DeMint Lie About The Budget And Deficit
On Tuesday’s Your World, President-elect of the Heritage Foundation Jim DeMint spoke about Democrats calling Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget “draconian” and “extreme.” DeMint said, “I don’t think the Democrats even have a right to criticize. The only budgets we’ve seen from this President have been budgets that nearly double our debt over the next 10 years. …I applaud Paul Ryan and the Republicans for stepping out, being willing to take the criticism, but like you said, Neil, balancing the budget over a 10 year period is hardly extreme, and if we don’t do it, all of us know we’re going to bankrupt our country.”
Read moreFox’s Crackpot Dr. Ablow Likens Obama To A Wife Beater
Fox’s in-house psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Ablow, once again showed why any sane network would be having him examined rather than putting him on the air as any kind of expert. First, he wrongly accused President Obama of wanting “to take everyone’s guns,” then Ablow likened him into a wife-beater “coming back” to Republicans and finally, after a brief detour of linking Obama’s abandonment issues to his belief in “disempowering the individual,” Ablow finished up with flurry of demands for Obama to resign.
