Outrageous Fox News Quote Of The Week Poll – August 24-30, 2014
Outrageousness never takes a holiday on Fox News, as you will see in this week’s candidates for Outrageous Quote of the Week. “Neutral” host Megyn Kelly was nominated not once, not twice, but three times this week – on three different subjects. But we’ve also got some doozies from Bill O’Reilly, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Jeanine Pirro and more. Check ‘em out and cast your vote!
Read more‘Neutral” Megyn Kelly Shouts At Democratic Guest About ISIS And Obama
For someone who insists she’s not an opinion host, Megyn Kelly showed an awful lot of opinion and bias last week during a discussion about President Obama's plan to deal with ISIS. First, she listened respectfully to Republican Marc Thiessen criticize Obama. Then came Democrat Penny Lee for a session of interrupting, shouting and, yes, opinions.
Read moreYes, Fox News, There Is Scientific Consensus About Man-Made Global Warming
Yesterday, Forbes on Fox discussed the White House’s plan for a global climate change deal. Of course, the panel hated the idea and predicted economic disaster. But host Elizabeth MacDonald took it a step further by announcing that there’s no scientific consensus about global warming being related to greenhouse gases. She could not be more wrong.
Read moreAndrea Tantaros Refuses To Apologize For Promoting Violence Against Muslims
Whenever someone in the media says something that is offensive to the right wing, Fox News goes on the attack. After MSNBC's Martin Bashir asked how Sarah Palin, who compared government "free stuff" (read welfare) to slavery, would feel if she were subjected to the real indignities of American slavery, Fox talkers went into full outrage mode with calls for Bashir (who resigned) be fired. Whenever there is a perceived affront to America's Christians, Fox talkers are indignant. But in a clear example of the Fox double standard, Andrea Tantaros is given carte blanche to engage in anti-Islamic hate speech at every turn. Her recent call to put a "bullet to the head" of radical jihadists prompted two organizations to call for an apology which she refuses to give because - ready for it - she is "speaking the truth."
Read moreOn Labor Day Weekend, Fox Host Says Minimum Wage Workers ‘Don’t Deserve’ A Raise
The Cavuto on Business show “honored” Labor Day weekend by smearing minimum wager workers and their efforts to raise the minimum wage. The segment began with footage of feisty (think: angry and scary) African American demonstrators. Host Neil Cavuto drove the point home in his introduction: “You think these guys are loud. Wait until Labor Day. The unions will be kicking up rage over the minimum wage.”

Todd Starnes ' race baiting suggestion that the Obama administration "may be orchestrating the Michael Brown tragedy" won our Outrageous Fox News Quote Of The Week poll last week. But two other quotes came within one or two votes of winning.
Read moreColbert Mocks Fox’s Hasselbeck and Guilfoyle For Smearing Obama Over ISIS
What could be more lovely on a summer’s eve than Stephen Colbert’s brilliant humor? In this case, Colbert mocked conservatives, especially Fox News conservatives, who have tried to blame President Obama for the Sunni/Shia conflict and the rise of ISIS.
Read moreThe Hideous Hate That Sean Hannity Loves: Radical Imam And Mark Levin Edition
A few nights ago, Sean Hannity engaged in a hate-filled, name-calling debate about radical Islam with a radical British imam, Anjem Choudary. That same night, Hannity engaged in a hate-filled, name-calling discussion about President Obama with his like-minded pal, Mark Levin. Take away the substance and it’s hard to tell the difference.
Read moreGreg Gutfeld Mocks Planned Parenthood Promotional T-Shirt
Fox News might consider itself "fair & balanced;" but when it comes to reproductive issues, it is proudly and publicly "pro-life." As such, it provides a willing platform for those hosts and guests who hate Planned Parenthood and all those slutty sluts who avail themselves of the vital healthcare which this organization provides to so many American women. So it's not surprising that Greg Gutfeld, who thinks that women who have abortions are "morally inept," would use his trademark twisted comedic stylings to mock Scarlett Johansson's fundraising efforts for Planned Parenthood. He was joined by sweet, Southern belle and very concerned woman, Penny Nance who, not very subtly, promoted the right wing message that taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for Planned Parenthood. As comedy it was lame, as propaganda, it was even lamer...
Read moreGohmert And Bolling: Obama, Get This ISIS War Party Started Already!
Iraq war cheerleader Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) apparently thinks President Obama should be trigger happy and not think too much when it comes to starting a new war against ISIS. Fox News host Eric Bolling seemed to agree.
