Megyn Kelly Helps Rehab Romney’s ‘Binders Full Of Women’ Comment
Megyn Kelly hosted Mitt Romney’s former lieutenant governor, a woman and a Romney surrogate, to help rehab explain Mitt Romney’s “binders full of women” comment that sparked what even Kelly acknowledged was a “firestorm” on the internet. But Kelly either deliberately ignored or somehow missed that her guest contradicted Romney’s own story about his concern for putting women in his cabinet. She also accepted without question the dubious claim that women made up 50% of Romney’s cabinet. (H/T Jim M.)

While two polls and most Democrats seem to agree that President handily won the debate tonight, Sean Hannity thought otherwise. And, surprise, surprise! He dissembled in making his point.

On yesterday’s Your World, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was asked by Neil Cavuto about Mitt Romney closing the polling gap in Michigan in spite of the fact he opposed the auto bailout. “The knee jerk reaction is that those in your state would be very sore about Mitt Romney’s opposition to that auto bailout. Yet he seems to be faring OK. Why is that?” Neil asked.

It was bad enough that “liberal” Greta Van Susteren ignored Paul Ryan’s dishwashing-gate last night. Predictably, so did the rest of her prime time colleagues. But she not only found time for the Paul Ryan Girl, she called it “the music video you have to see!”
Read moreFr. Jonathan Morris Says Joe Biden Is A Liar?
In addition to "Fox News bishops" there is a Fox News priest. Fr. Jonathan Morris is not your average parish priest. He joined Fox News when he was stationed in Rome as a member of the disgraced "Legion of Christ" and very close pal of the order's pedophile (and baby daddy) founder, Fr. Marcial Maciel who pandered to the rich and famous. While Morris is officially stationed at NYC's Old St. Patrick's Cathedral, he finds time to go on various international junkets with his very special pal, Cardinal Dolan whose opposition to the president's birth control mandate has received reverent validation on Fox by Morris and Fox hosts. Despite other clergy who occasionally make appearances on Fox, Morris has a weekly Sunday gig during which he validates GOP right wing talking points that reach a vast Fox News "parish." So it was no surprise that Morris would support the bishops' "rebuke" of Joe Biden over his debate remarks about the mandate. And given that the bishops are implying that Biden is a liar, it wasn't surprising that Morris suggested the same thing!
Read moreJon Stewart Mocks Fox News' Attacks On Joe Biden After He Won The VP Debate
Jon Stewart does it again. After noting that MSNBC acknowledged President Obama blew his presidential debate performance, Stewart compared that to Fox's whiny attempts to delegitimize Biden's win. Stewart summed it up with, "Joe Biden was an agnry, demented, abusive, drunk, old crazy person who mopped the floor with our guy."
Read moreHannity Trots Out Donald Rumsfeld To Help Turn Benghazi Into Watergate
If anything should discredit Fox’s attempts to turn Benghazi into Watergate, it’s their use of Donald Rumsfeld to throw stones of foreign policy blunders and cover-ups from his Iraq “Weapons of Mass Destruction” glass house. Not that that would ever be mentioned on “fair and balanced” Fox. In fact, I can’t recall even a scintilla of the interest in the false premises used by the George W. Bush administration to invade Iraq as there is in fingerpointing against the Obama administration before the Benghazi investigation has been completed. So it looks like a twofer for Fox in trotting out Rumsfeld to attack Obama. On the one hand, it looks like an authoritative attack coming from a former Secretary of Defense that Fox viewers saw little to no questioning of his credibility. At the same time, it helps boost that cred by disappearing those black marks on his record.
Read moreFox Nation Find Arlen Specter's Death 'Inspiring'
Fox Nation did a "salute" to Senator Arlen Specter in commemoration of his death yesterday. But the readers were less than salutory. It's possible they rated the post "inspiring" because they wanted to give props to Specter's career as a public servant. And, in fairness, the other options are not much more fitting: offensive, funny, cool, obnoxious, scary and crazy. But the comments left by the readers suggest their respect for the dead ends at the conservative end of the spectrum. They also leave no doubt that the hate spigot never stops against political foes on Fox Nation - which still boasts about being a place of tolerance and civility. (H/T Christopher S.)
