O’Reilly Explains Why Hispanics Vote Democratic: The “Party Is Gonna Give ‘Em Stuff”
Bill O’Reilly had a fascinating discussion with Republican Congressman Steve King that clearly revealed the rift in the Republican Party over immigration and outreach to minorities. But one thing they were in synch about was their disdain for Hispanics which was made crystal clear, whether they realized it or not.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Politicizes Boston Marathon Bombing By Playing The Conservative Victim
Megyn Kelly used a familiar Fox News tactic to politicize the Boston Marathon bombing – and pretend otherwise: she accused Democrats of doing the politicizing and then played the victim. And Fox News' "objective" Chris Stirewalt was a willing helpmate. Maybe it slipped by their Fox faithful but astute observers should take note of the charade.
Read moreBret Baier Panel Uses Gosnell Trial To Push Anti-Abortion, Anti-Obama Agitprop
The latest hissy fit from the anti-abortion movement is about what they claim is a "media black out" of the case involving a Philadelphia abortion doctor who allegedly murdered seven babies and one woman in a horrific clinic that would be in Dante's inner circles of hell. Lack of coverage was blamed on an alleged pro-choice media and in the last week there has been a social media campaign (spearheaded by Michelle Malkin) to demand more national coverage. Assisting in these efforts was Fox's Kirsten Powers whose article about this so called black-out is being credited for media picking up the story. So not surprisingly, Fox News, whose coverage hasn't been exactly front burner, picked up this newest "outrage" which fits nicely with their anti-abortion bias and their patented meme about the librul media. Never wasting an opportunity to bash the president, Fox's politicization of the issue includes the perfunctory "pro-life" smear about how the president supports infanticide. Fox News - fair & balanced as always!
Read moreHannity And Fuhrman Use Boston Marathon Bombs To Advocate Against Gun Laws
Sean Hannity chatted with his pal Mark Fuhrman last night about the Boston Marathon bombs. Hannity really, truly didn’t want to be political, because his thoughts and prayers were with the families of the victims, but he just couldn’t help but point out that when Fuhrman noted that the bombs had probably been made with easily-available items, that added “a layer of texture and context” to demonstrate the supposed futility of passing gun safety legislation.
Read moreO’Reilly And Henry Drag Benghazi Into Boston Bombing Report
As you’d imagine, Fox News is covering the Boston bombings tonight instead of their usual food fights. But their Republican agenda was not completely left behind. With White House reporter Ed Henry on The O’Reilly Factor tonight, Bill O’Reilly announced, “I am gonna have to inject some politics in here, Ed.” Not surprisingly, he had a willing partner in Henry. And O’Reilly signaled very clearly that he is going to bang the Benghazi drum loudly.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Takes Credit For Rick Santorum's Reinstatement As School Speaker
There should be a photo of Bill O'Reilly next to the DSM IV diagnostic manual's definition of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder which has a number of indications, including "a grandiose sense of self importance" which speaks to a need for "excessive admiration." When one considers all the things that Bill O'Reilly has *falsely taken credit for, it would appear that O'Reilly fits the definition quite nicely. Bill's most recent delusion of grandeur involves his taking credit for a Grosse Pointe Michigan school's reversal of its cancellation of a speech to be given by Rick Santorum. While O'Reilly's already large cranium is now over inflated with a sense of self importance, the reality is that, according local news reporting, he didn't have anything to do with it. But then reality isn't O'Reilly's strong suit.
Read moreCoulter Jokes About Killing Meghan McCain – And Fox Holds Her Up As A Moral Standard-Bearer
In case you had any notion that “civil” Fox Nation removed Ann Coulter’s “joke” about murdering Meghan McCain out of a concern for moral decency, then get a load of her appearance on Geraldo At Large Saturday night (4/13/13) in which she was asked to weigh in on the appropriateness of Anthony Weiner running for New York City mayor. And with her typical tact and sensitivity, Coulter went right for her next murder joke: comparing Weiner showing his “pecker” to Ted Kennedy having “killed a girl.” If you thought that host Geraldo Rivera found it tasteless or insensitive for the homicidal-humor loving Coulter to make such a joke – especially after the outcry over her last attempt at homicidal humor – think again.
Read moreMike Huckabee Wants You To Pay More Taxes (So He Can Pay Less)
Mike Huckabee opened his show last night with a call to implement the flat tax. With his folksy, avuncular tone, Huckabee took a mean-spirited swipe at lower earners: "Each April 15, I’m reminded just how different this day would be if we would implement the fair tax. The fair tax would not raise or lower our current taxes but it would change the way that we collect taxes from the current system of punishing productivity and rewarding irresponsibility."
Read moreBrian Kilmeade Offers Stats On "African-Americans" In Cuban Jails - Really?
Fox & Friends isn't just a happy morning chat show. Its inanity masks the reality that it is "one of Roger Ailes' primary vehicles to inject his venom into the media bloodstream." Rather than providing intellectual stimulation, it plays to ignorance and bigotry communicated by the curvy couch potatoes who are so not the Algonquin Round Table. Last week, during the right wing and Fox enabled "controversy," surrounding Beyonce's and Jay-Z's trip to Cuba, our favorite MENSA candidates, not surprisingly, criticized the trip because it was just so unfair that these entertainers could go to Cuba when "most of us can't travel to Cuba." (Awww) And then Brain (whoops Brian) Kilmeade provided us with a gem that surpassed the usual stupidity of Fox & Friends - and that's saying something because if this show excels in anything other than ratings. It's stupidity!
Read moreBolling And Malkin Fear Monger About Costs Of Immigration Reform
The conservative Heritage Foundation will soon release a report on the supposedly prohibitive costs of immigration reform. The study has been criticized by conservatives but you’d never know that watching Cashin’ In host Eric Bolling “interviewing” Michelle Malkin yesterday. They ignored both the criticisms of the Heritage Foundation study and the conclusions of a wide range of economists that comprehensive reform would boost the economy.
