Fox News Helps Spin an Old Deal as a Brand-New Scandal

Posted by Margarita · May 17, 2012 6:07 PM · 1 reaction

Is the right running out of material to smear Obama with? Are they so desperate for dirt that they have to create it themselves? That’s what Fox News seems to be doing by covering the story of a “secret” deal President Obama made with pharmaceutical companies in 2009, to get them to back his health care reform law.

Hannity Uses African-American Leaders to Bait Obama over Same-Sex Marriage Issue

Posted by Margarita · May 17, 2012 5:17 PM · 5 reactions

Fox News is fairly dancing with joy over the opposition of some African-American leaders, particularly evangelical pastors, to President Obama’s support for same-sex marriage. Whee! Something else to smash the President around with! Not one to pass up that opportunity, Sean Hannity had two prominent black conservatives as guests on Tuesday night: Bishop Harry Jackson, pastor of Hope Christian Church, and former Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain. Hannity spent about half the “interview” aiming off-topic gobs of venom at Obama, but he did manage to let his guests get a few points across.

Hannity Hoping To Use Rev. Wright To Paint Obama As A Crook

Posted by Ellen · May 17, 2012 3:23 PM · 8 reactions

Not since Sestak-gate (remember that scandal?), has Sean Hannity seemed so upbeat about the chances of turning President Obama into a crook, at least in the public eye. Last night, Hannity welcomed discredited author Ed Klein for a double segment on his show to discuss hush money supposedly offered to Rev. Jeremiah Wright by the Barack Obama campaign in 2008.

Dick Morris Disses Fox News Poll To Predict A Big Romney Win

Posted by Ellen · May 17, 2012 1:32 PM · 7 reactions

A Fox News poll came out yesterday with, as Bill O’Reilly put it last night, “good news for Barack Obama.” Somehow, he forgot to mention most of the bad news for Romney in it as well. But both O’Reilly and Dick Morris gave other, more-favorable-to-Romney polls more prominence last night in a discussion about the upcoming election. In fact, Morris was so definite about what he sees as Obama’s imminent political demise, that O’Reilly said he’d be “through” if Obama wins.

Bill O'Reilly Claims Judge Says "F-You" To Christians In 10 Commandment Case

Posted by Priscilla · May 17, 2012 11:58 AM · 4 reactions

As the arbiter of American morality, Bill O'Reilly draws from his vast trove of theological expertise. His exegesis on the divine nature of the tides rivals anything put forth by Augustine and Aquinas. Thus, it seems fitting that Fox's very own "Il Papa" had the opportunity to share his infallible opinion on the Fox generated "controversy" over a Virginia judge's suggestion that, in a long standing dispute over the posting of the 10 Commandments in a public school, six of the commandments could be excised. While the rest of the reality based world ignored this arguably strange suggestion, Fox was on it. It was discussed by the Christian choir on "The Five" and by official and only Fox clergy, Fr. Jonathan Morris. Never wasting an opportunity to express his deeply held religious views that include bashing those who aren't down with "Judeo-Christianity," Bill discussed the topic on last week's "Culture Warriors" segment during which uber Christian warrior princess, Gretchen Carlson got to work in a reference to - drum roll please - evil "political correctness" while Bill got to read the mind of the judge in question and remind us about how we're a "Judeo-Christian nation." It was all good...

Ben Stein Critiques Obama: “Not In The Same League Of Presidential Genius As Nixon”

Posted by Ellen · May 16, 2012 11:57 PM · 10 reactions

I seriously wasn’t sure at first if Ben Stein was joking or not when he acknowledged on The O’Reilly Factor tonight that President Obama is smart but not “in the same league of presidential genius as Nixon.” But Stein was not kidding.

Fox Nation Headline Refers To Elizabeth Warren As 'Fauxcahontas"

Posted by · May 16, 2012 8:35 PM · 5 reactions

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words - which is good, because I'm at a loss to explain Fox Nation's enthusiasm to give Elizabeth Warren the racist nickname "Fauxcahontas” – in their headline.

O’Reilly Uses Norfolk, VA Case To Suggest Eric Holder’s A Black Racist

Posted by Ellen · May 16, 2012 5:45 PM · 1 reaction

Although Bill O’Reilly repeatedly insisted that his interest in the “race-based” case in Norfolk, Virginia was making sure justice was done, a discussion with Charles Krauthammer last night suggested an ulterior motive of using the case against a fave Fox News target, Eric Holder. And it’s not the first time we’ve seen that hint.

O’Reilly: I “Had To” Get Justice For White Victims In Virginia

Posted by Ellen · May 16, 2012 2:21 PM · 7 reactions

Take heart, white people! Bill O’Reilly is not just looking out for you, it’s some kind of personal mission. In yet another discussion about the Norfolk, Virginia beating case of two white reporters by a black mob, O’Reilly told his viewers last night, “As you may know, The Factor’s been following the story because the media in Norfolk and the police were very reluctant to aggressively pursue the case so we had to in the name of justice.” With all due respect, Bill, I think it’s pretty clear you’re doing it in the name of your own agenda.

Steve Doocy Still Pimping Lie That Abortion Drugs Are Covered In HHS Mandate

Posted by Priscilla · May 16, 2012 12:02 PM · 4 reactions

Catholic Church prince Cardinal Dolan, and his homies in the conservative US Conference of Catholic bishops, are mighty pissed about the HHS birth control mandate which allows insurance companies to cover contraception costs for employees and students at Catholic colleges. (GOP fraying of the social safety net, not so much) Fox & Friends seems to be his personal fiefdom in that good Catholic Steve Doocy and uber Catholic Knight of Malta, Peter Johnson Jr, have provided extensive and biased support for the bishops HHS policy position - a position which Fox uses to cultivate Catholic support for the GOP by bashing Obama who is, according to Fox and the bishops, waging a "war on religious liberty."  Franciscan University, a very conservative, *anti-reproductive rights Catholic school, just announced that it will drop health care for students rather than have birth control, which it currently doesn't provide, covered in its policy. Fox culture clubber Todd Starnes first reported it and tweeted a "praise be to God for believers who will not compromise." Not surprisingly, the Cardinal Dolan's very own morning show and Roger Ailes' very own acolyte, Steve Doocy is reporting on it. Not surprisingly the coverage continues to be biased and, in one case, just wrong. But definitely a get out of Purgatory free and go directly to heaven card for Doocy!
