Fox Helps Rehab Ann Coulter After ‘Joking’ About Killing Meghan McCain
In case you missed it, Fox Nation recently removed an Ann Coulter article for Town Hall in which she “joked” that she wants Meghan McCain to be murdered first if people start shooting the families of Republican Senators. Before you start thinking that Fox finally decided it’s against comments about killing someone (after a long history of condoning them) consider Coulter’s cozy, chummy visit as the top story on Hannity last night.
Read moreBill O'Reilly, Adam Carolla Spread Homophobic Paranoia
After Bill O'Reilly made his infamous "thumping the bible" comment, there was speculation that his position on same sex marriage had evolved; especially given that he defended his comment even after receiving blowback from the religious right. He was validated by his Fox pals including Megyn Kelly who claimed that Bill wasn't being pejorative because he's an awesome advocate for religious freedom. So was it his concern for religious freedom or an attempt to assuage the "thumpers" when Bill attacked "fascist" gay students who want a Catholic college chaplain removed from campus for his anti-gay comments? And in what might appear to be another effort to play to those whom he offended, under the rubric of religious liberty, he later agreed with Adam Carolla that same sex marriage will lead to gays demanding that they get church weddings - a meme pimped by opponents of marriage equality. Evolution? Maybe not so much!
Read moreO’Reilly: Our Only Hope Is For Republicans To Take The Senate And ‘We’ Hold The House In 2014
“Independent” Bill O’Reilly explicitly advocated that Americans vote Republican. In fact, he suggested that it’s the only hope for America if Republicans take the Senate “and we hold the House.” We? We? Could Fox’s partisanship be any more blatant?
Read moreBret Baier Uses Hate Group Head, Tony Perkins, To Attack Episcopal Priest Over "Not Adhering" To Scripture
On Easter Sunday, President Obama attended a service given at a Washington Episcopal Church. During the sermon, Rev. Luis Leon criticized what he felt is intolerance on the part of leaders of the religious right. As the mouthpiece for the religious right, Fox News wasted no time in bashing the priest, the pro-gay views of the Episcopal Church, and the president for not publicly denouncing the priest. While there was the requisite whining on official Fox opinion (The Five), official "fair & balanced" Fox News launched a propaganda fest with Megyn Kelly doing three segments which validated the religious right. Even Fox's flagship "fair & balanced" "news" show, Special Report got in on the act. What made it even more interesting is that Bret Baier, as did Megyn Kelly, use commentary from Tony Perkins, the head of the hate group, The Family Research Council in order to Rev. Leon and the gay affirming beliefs of the Episcopal Church. It's ironic that Fox, in trying to prove liberal intolerance, is embracing the theology of hate!
Read moreBill O'Reilly Slyly Validates Crowley's Welfare-Mother Conspiracy Theory
Yesterday, I posted about how Monica Crowley made the outlandish - and entirely unsubstantiated - suggestion the night before that women on welfare have children in order to up their relief money. Last night, Bill O'Reilly slyly validated her accusation - and yet kept his own fingerprints off it - by choosing to read a supportive email in his brief email segment at the end of the show.
Read moreBreaking News: Dr. Carson Withdraws As Johns Hopkins Commencement Speaker
Sean Hannity will almost surely be on another racial rant tonight in the wake of the news that his GOP savior, Dr. Benjamin Carson, has withdrawn as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins University. Hannity will almost certainly avoid any of the personal responsibility Carson calls for in others and adopt a full-fledged racial victimhood he supposedly admires Carson for rejecting. In fact, Carson is still playing the victim.
Read moreFox News Contributor Sandy Rios Says "Powerful Jewish Forces" Trying To Ruin America
Whenever anybody, anywhere, says anything critical of Christianity, Fox News goes into full freak out mode. Talking heads across the spectrum of Fox "news" and opinion explode with Christian victimhood over whatever "outrage" is perceived. Yet one of their own contributors appears to harbor some serious anti-Semitic feelings and that doesn't seem to be a problem.
Read moreHero Student Foils Fox News Plan To Use Houston College Stabbing To Push For Guns On Campus
Predictably, Fox News used the news of a stabbing spree at a Houston college campus yesterday to advocate for more guns on campus. Today, on America Live, Megyn Kelly hosted hero student Stephen Maida who had tackled the stabber and brought him down with “just my fists.” And for no other apparent reason than to politicize it, she included in the discussion a Texas state senator who made the ridiculous argument that the entire situation proved the need for concealed guns on campus. Unfortunately for him, Maida wasn’t buying it.
Read moreBill O’Reilly Won't Retract His New Orleans Smears
It looks like we can add New Orleans to the list of places that Bill O’Reilly knows more about than its residents. You may recall that residents of the Big Easy took exception to the sneers and jeers by O’Reilly and Geraldo Rivera Friday night. A group of them wrote a letter to the two hosts, partially reprinted in the Times Picayune, calling the segment “a disservice to New Orleans, America and the truth.” And then, with lengthy statistics and citations to a Wall Street Journal article on the subject, the authors explained why Rivera was wrong to characterize the city as the "Big Sleazy." But I think we can assume O'Reilly will not be retracting anything soon.
Read moreMonica Crowley Suggests Women On Welfare Have Children To Get More Government Money
Tip for News Hounds readers: Whenever you see Monica Crowley on Fox News, you can pretty much expect her to come up with some outlandish, unsubstantiated conspiracy theory. Last night’s case in point: Crowley announced on The O’Reilly Factor: The welfare program in this country was geared toward building incentives so that women would have more and more children out of wedlock because they would get more money based on a child.
