Fox’s Starnes On Gay Rights: I Don’t Care How You Butter Your Biscuit, Just Don’t Tell Me How To Butter Mine
Fox’s resident culture warrior, Todd Starnes, visited The Kelly File Thursday night and discussed the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing prayer at government meetings. Host Megyn Kelly described the ruling from Starnes' viewpoint: a “rare victory for America,” in the “war on faith in this country.” Shortly after, they discussed gay rights.
Read moreFox's Ablow: Sex Ed A 'Trojan Horse' For Threesomes
Fox psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow proved once again today that he might be better off seeing a good shrink than playing one on TV. In a discussion about a sex education book on Outnumbered, Ablow announced that he's against sex ed altogether. One of the reasons? It could promote threesomes. Or lead to them. Or something.
Read moreFox's Benghazi Addiction Wins Outrageous Quote Of The Week Award For Harris Faulkner
Fox's Harris Faulkner was not just outrageous last week when she cut away from a presidential press conference because no Benghazi question was forthcoming. Our readers voted her comment THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS quote of the week for it. And believe me, she had some tough competition.
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: Book Protesting Hero Dad Gets More Free Face Time To Whine About 1st Amendment Rights Violation
Earlier this week, Megyn Kelly provided some free publicity for a New Hampshire father who was arrested for being disruptive in a school board meeting during which he protested a class reading assignment. William Baer, already a hero in the public school hating, freedom loving tea partysphere, got some more sweet free face time on yesterday's Fox & Friends during one of their public school hating, freedom loving "Trouble With Schools" segment.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Provides Weak Response To Hate Group Pres.Tony Perkins' 'Biblical' Homophobia
Last August, the head of a homophobic hate group, "Americans for Truth About Homosexuality," Peter LaBarbera, accused Fox News of pro-gay bias. Much of the report focused on Megyn Kelly who was deemed to be too tolerant regarding gay issues. La Barbera should rest easy because Megyn Kelly has obviously gotten the message that she needs to get back on the homo hating highway. Last night, Kelly, who shows lots of love to Tony Perkins, head of the homophobic hate group, "The Family Research Council," showed more love for Perkins who whined about how nasty gay bullies have pressured HGTV to drop a show done by the anti-gay, anti-choice, and anti-Muslim sons of anti-abortion domestic terrorist the "Rev" Phillip Benham. While Kelly provided a weak counterpoint, Perkins was able to preach the right wing/Fox/Tony Perkins "gay bully" meme, as well as the patented Fox News persecuted Christian meme which Kelly did validate. Pro-gay bias? Not so much!
Read moreIs Bill O'Reilly Wanted By 'The Beygency?'
In a parody of those action movies in which characters who speak out against authority are pursued and dealt with by mysterious forces, last Saturday's SNL did a great sketch on what happens to those who diss Beyoncé. In the fake movie trailer, a character is less than reverential to Beyoncé and is chased by her enforcers, "The Beygency." So I started thinking that if this Beygency did exist, it would be looking for Bill O'Reilly whose comments about Queen Bey have been, seriously, pretty disgusting.
Read moreAnn Coulter Advises Monica Lewinsky: Convert To Christianity
Ann Coulter may have called Bill Clinton “a very good rapist” and “scumbag” but that’s no reason to think she wouldn’t be fair and balanced enough to go on Fox’s Hannity show and share her thoughts on Monica Lewinsky’s just-penned article in Vanity Fair.
Read moreTo Laura Ingraham, Nigerian Schoolgirl Kidnapping Is All About Benghazi And Hillary Clinton
The kidnapping of about 300 hundred Nigerian schoolgirls by a Nigerian extremist group called Boko Haram is now officially about Benghazi on The O’Reilly Factor. Oh, and it’s also Hillary Clinton’s fault. Or close enough to say so, as far as Fox is concerned.
Read moreFox Uses Benghazi To Rehabilitate Donald Rumsfeld - Again
In case you haven’t noticed, at the same time that Fox News has been exploiting the Benghazi tragedy as the worst scandal since Watergate, it has also been working to whitewash the record of lies and missteps of Iraq war architect Donald Rumsfeld. Yesterday, Rumsfeld got yet another friendly platform from which to attack Obama over Benghazi - and which also served to bolster his own national security bona fides.
Read moreAn Outraged Megyn Kelly Validates Outraged Parent Arrested For Disrupting School Board Meeting Over 'Pornographic' Book
When a Muslim parent objected to a possible First Amendment violation involving a public school promotion of an Easter egg hunt, at a Christian church, Fox treated his complaint with derision. But a parent who thinks his First Amendment rights have been violated because his behavior at a school board meeting resulted in his arrest is being given hero status on Fox News. William Baer's case has become a cause célèbre in the dark netherworld of the public school hating right wing, so it's not surprising that Fox would give him a national platform from which to whine about his unfair treatment at the hands of a school system that permits high school students to read about, gasp, sex. Megyn Kelly was so outraged that she covered this on two shows. I suspect that if the parent had been Muslim and had objected to, uh, anything, the story would be treated quite differently...
