Tucker Carlson Uses Gay Stereotype To Insult David Brock
In addition to being a poster child for white privilege and a famous "dick," Tucker Carlson is also an exemplar of Christian right wing homophobia. He has even bragged about assaulting a gay man. But his negative views about the LGBT community and LGBT civil rights are not a problem for Roger Ailes who provides a pulpit for Carlson's homophobia. In 2010, Carlson combined the patented Fox persecuted Christian meme with an attack on Harry Knox, an openly gay man who was appointed, by Pres. Obama, to serve on the Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnership Program. Carlson said that the lifting of DADT was a "joke." Recently, Tucker, who hates the Episcopal Church because it accepts gay marriage, claimed that the media treats gays better than Christians. And recently, in attacking Media Matters David Brock, the oh, so witty Carlson employed a gay stereotype and, in so doing, reminded us of why he is such a dick.
Read moreFox Nation Racism: Distraught Woman Edition
Why did Fox Nation choose to showcase a video about a distraught young woman shouting at, then macing and punching a local news crew from Washington, D.C. when they refused to move away from the (public) sidewalk outside her home? Normally, Fox Nation focuses on attacking President Obama and Democrats politics. Well, even if it wasn't because the woman is African American, the Fox Nation readers sure appreciated the opportunity to let loose with a disgusting stream of racist comments. Oh, and they worked in President Obama while they were at it! (H/T reader J.L.)
Read moreJon Stewart Mocks Fox’s Exploitation of His Criticisms Of Obamacare
Fox has been loving on Jon Stewart’s mocking of Obamacare and citing it as “proof” that President Obama and the Affordable Care Act have “lost” young people. But Stewart an The Daily Show had something to say - and sing - about that!
Read moreHannity Refuses Ed Schultz's Challenge To Debate
Ed Schultz slammed Sean Hannity hard today. Schultz called Hannity the "king of cheap shots," called out the media in general for focusing on the problems of the Obamacare rollout rather than its promise and focused on Hannity, in particular, for defending "junk insurance policies" that don't "cover snot" in his zeal to malign the Affordable Care Act. Schultz also challenged Hannity to a debate and dared him to "prove me wrong."
Read moreFox Crackpot Dr. Ablow: We Have To ‘Immunize’ Our Kids From Obama’s Plan To Make Everybody Dependent On The Government
Fox News’ crackpot psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Ablow, visited the Fox Business Network yesterday where he offered up yet another over-the-top psychoanalysis of President Obama that winds up making Ablow look like the one who needs treatment. Yesterday’s message, on Varney & Co., warned parents of the urgent need to “immunize” their kids from the “very negative psychological message” being sent to them by Obama.
Read moreWas Bill Kristol Let Go From Fox Because He Refused To Smear An Ailes Enemy?
In case you missed it, conservative Bill Kristol is no longer an official Fox News contributor. That happened last summer. But today, Politico's Dylan Byers has an intriguing report about a falling out between Kristol and Fox News chief Roger Ailes due to Kristol's failure to badmouth someone Ailes wanted badmouthed.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Threatens NJ School District Over Ban On Religious Winter Concert Songs
Bill O'Reilly's bizarre thought process is vividly displayed in his contention that because Christmas is a federal holiday, governmental agencies are obligated to promote the Christian aspect of the day which, Bill O'Reilly notwithstanding, is a secular holiday that, Bill O'Reilly notwithstanding, did not become a major American holiday until the 19th century. Any attempts, by schools or other agencies of government, to exclude Jesus from holiday celebrations are seem as outright heresy by America's culture war inquisitor-in-chief. Last night, O'Reilly, assisted by Megyn Kelly, aimed his merry Christmas vitriol towards a New Jersey school district which is not performing religious songs at winter concerts. And in addition to attacking the school superintendent, O'Reilly issued a thinly veiled threat to make her life miserable. When it comes to Christmas, Bill O'Reilly just embodies the spirit of peace and joy!
Read moreKelly File Regular Talks Impeachment – Without Challenge From Host
Megyn Kelly held yet another in her endless series of segments trying to discredit Obamacare by denigrating the Obama administration last night. In this case, Kelly’s target was President Obama for promising people could keep their doctors and insurance plans under ObamaCare. Even though most people can. But Kelly’s guest, conservative talk show host Lars Larson took it a big step further by calling for President Obama’s impeachment. Kelly listened quietly and, unlike her treatment of her liberal guest, made no challenge.
Read moreFox Interrupts Coverage Of Obama’s Jobs Speech For GOP Interview About Benghazi
President Obama spoke today about jobs. He discussed in his remarks how companies like Honda, Samsung and Siemens are investing in America by expanding and revamping plants and creating jobs. But why would Fox News want their viewers to hear about that when they could hear Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) talk about Benghazi for the umpteenth time?
Read moreFox’s ‘Fair And Balanced’ Review Of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act Speech – With Four Obamacare Haters
Yesterday, immediately after President Obama’s speech on the Affordable Care Act ended, Your World with Neil Cavuto turned to Dr. Ben Carson, Scott Brown, Pat Buchanan, and Larry Sabato to trash the ACA rollout, the website, and more. That made four guests who were anti –ACA – plus the like-minded Cavuto. Apparently, even one pro-Obama and pro-Obamacare guest was too much to ask for.
