Happy 10th Anniversary Outfoxed And NewsHounds!
Can you believe it has been 10 years since “Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s war on journalism” premiered? You may think that Fox’s bias has always been common knowledge but it was that documentary that brought it front and center and forever shattered Fox’s “fair and balanced” mantra. I and the other original News Hounds are proud to have been a part of the effort. Our friends at Brave New Films, which produced Outfoxed, have put together a video honoring this groundbreaking film. Check it out (and you can even see me a time or two) after the jump.
Read moreTucker Carlson Insults Toni Morrison During Race Baiting Whine About College Liberal Bias
Last Sunday, Carlson hosted "Young American Foundation" spokeswoman Ashley Pratte for yet another whine about liberal bias on our campuses. (Right, this is on the "fair & balanced" Fox News). The latest example of conservative victimhood centers around how, according to Pratte, college reading lists don't OMG include conservative books and, even worse, include liberal books in which characters of color aren't suitably appreciative of white people. What wasn't notable was the discussion which was of the standard ain't those liberals awful variety. What was notable were Carlson's insulting comments, delivered with a smile, about celebrated author Toni Morrison.
Read moreGreta Van Susteren Back On The Job As Obama Vacation Police
It’s Obama vacation time - which means one thing at Fox News: yet another excuse to throw a hissy fit. Fox’s prime time vacation detective, Greta Van Susteren, is already back to work, sifting through the evidence for reasons to drum up outrage. This time, she had a snarky video to help the cause.
Read moreThe Kelly File Promotes Extremist Stockman’s Call To Arrest Lois Lerner
Extremist Rep. Steve Stockman wants the U.S. Congress to send its Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Lois Lerner, the focal person of the Republicans’ IRS scandal and one of the pegs on which they hang their impeachment hopes. Megyn Kelly distanced herself from the idea and even gently made fun of it when Stockman appeared on her show tonight. But she presented him as a mainstream Republican and never told the “we report, you decide” viewers some facts that might have had them laughing at Stockman more overtly.
Read moreBernard Goldberg Slams Palin’s ‘Beyond Terrible’ Impeachment Proposal
Fox’s Bernard Goldberg attacked Sarah Palin’s push to impeach President Obama by calling it a “crazy idea” that would “destroy the Republican party.” And more.
Read moreSteve Doocy Promotes Anti-Choice Meme Of Pro-Choice Violence
When women's health clinics are attacked by anti-choice zealots, such as the Montana abortion clinic that was recently forced to close after having been vandalized by an anti-choice activist, Fox & Friends ignores it. When crazed anti-choicers get sentenced to 10 years in prison for plotting to shoot up Planned Parenthood clinics, Fox & Friends ignores it. But when an anti-choice protestor gets hassled, Fox & Friends takes notice. This morning, Steve Doocy hosted two members of a radical anti-choice group, Created Equal who are known for their grisly signs of aborted fetuses. This week, a couple of their members were accosted by a woman who was charged with assault and criminal damaging - a martyrdom story all the rage in anti-choice circles with the meme being that it's pro-choicers who are violent. So as the morning media mouthpiece for those who are waging a war on reproductive choice, it's not surprising that Fox & Friends is pimping that very meme!
Read moreBob Beckel Rants Against Chinese With Ethnic Slur
Fox’s Bob Beckel went on another ethnic rant on The Five yesterday. His target this time was the Chinese. We’ve previously noted Beckel’s Islamophobia and his animosity toward the Chinese. But this time, he used an explicitly ethnic slur in his attack.
Read moreSteve Doocy Praises Benham Brother For Their Radical Anti Gay, Anti-Choice, Anti-Muslim Views - Whoops, Their Christian Faith!!!!!
As the network for persecuted Christians, Fox News has elevated the Duck Dynasty clan and the Benham brothers to a special category of Fox sainthood. But while Duck Dynasty returned to the airwaves after patriarch Phil Robertson's homophobic comments, the HGTV door closed permanently on the Benham boyz after word of theirs got out. Naturally, in whitewashing their homophobic, anti-choice, and anti-Muslim views, Fox has provided sweet succor for the nice, Christian guys who were being persecuted for their Christian faith which teaches, as everybody knows, that God hates fags. As part of the requisite Fox validation, Fox created the narrative that the Benham brothers were being targeted, by gay bullies, for their deeply held Christian values. Yesterday, the boyz were back in Fox town for more Christian fellowship and not so cleverly concealed gay bashing.
Read moreRick Perry’s ‘Instinct’ Tells Him Mexican Drug Cartels Are Smuggling Terrorists Into The U.S.
Sean Hannity and Rick Perry teamed up to fear monger about the immigration crisis last night. With all the same “evidence” Perry put forth when he asserted that Obama is somehow “in on” the immigration crisis at the border – which is to say none – Perry now opined that Islamic terrorists are being smuggled into the country. Or on their way. Or something.
Read moreKelly File Guest: Obama Administration Is ‘Borderline A Jew-Hating Administration’
Megyn Kelly turned to the discredited, no-smear-is-too-ridiculous Ben Shapiro tonight in a deliberate attempt to use the Israeli/Palestinian conflict to attack President Obama. Sure enough, he complied. In spades. UPDATED
