Of all the awful things I’ve witnessed on Fox News, one of the worst has been to watch journalism-icon Bob Woodward palling around with the likes of race baiter and hate monger, Sean Hannity. Woodward has appeared several times on the Hannity show recently (and he was also on Fox News Sunday) and acted as though he were there to participate in a legitimate discussion about President Obama. Meanwhile, Woodward seemed oblivious to how Hannity used him for the express purpose of assisting in his anti-Obama crusade and to beef up his own cred.

Earlier today, I posted about Geraldo Rivera’s heated debate on Fox & Friends in which he spoke out passionately against the politicization of the tragedy at Benghazi. Tonight, Rivera visited The O’Reilly Factor where he got into it with Bill O’Reilly. Rivera was still a strong voice speaking out against the politicization but this time, Rivera made sure to highlight suspicious behavior by the Obama administration.

Neil Cavuto spoke to Ross Perot, Jr. yesterday on Your World about his father’s endorsement of Mitt Romney. Cavuto asked, “Part of the debt commission calls for some revenue enhancements, taxes for want of a better word. How do you feel about that?”

Stephen Colbert responded to Donald Trump’s birther “challenge” to President Obama with just the kind of counter-challenge Trump deserved: Colbert said he’d write a check for $1 million to the charity of Trump’s choice, “if you will let me dip my b*** in your mouth.”

Just as predicted, Greta Van Susteren acted as though former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice never told her that there was no reason to jump to inflammatory, accusatory conclusions about the attacks on the American consulate at Benghazi, Libya. Instead, just 24 hours later, Van Susteren trotted out Donald Rumsfeld, of all people, to point more fingers at the Obama administration.

Geraldo Rivera visited Fox & Friends this morning where they engaged in a heated discussion of Fox’s faux scandal, Benghazi-Gate. Predictably, the curvy couch crew chickenhawks were full of concern that always seems to be more focused on discrediting the Obama administration than in reporting what happened. Rivera told them, “I think we need to stop this politicizing… these preposterous allegations, reckless allegations.”

Sean Hannity was predictably agog over Donald Trump’s latest birther stunt – offering $5 million to the charity of President Obama’s choice if he releases his college transcripts, application and passport application. And just like he did in the Trump’s last birther lap, Hannity pretended Trump was raising legitimate, un-birther questions that President Obama should answer in the name of transparency. Then Hannity and Guilfoyle used Obama's expected failure to respond as yet another reason to attack him. For this alone, Hannity and Guilfoyle should be fired and thrown off the air for good. But we know they won't be.

On Saturday’s Forbes on Fox (10/20/12), the topic was nominally why gas prices are spiking. But as usual, the real purpose was to blame President Obama, this time because of his “green energy push.”

While the right wing and its mouthpiece, Fox News, claims that liberals are waging class warfare against the "job creators," Fox News is waging class warfare against "welfare" - a word that's guaranteed to generate a true Pavlovian response of fear and loathing in the Fox demographic who associate "welfare" with lazy, dark skinned, drug addled moochers being given free stuff. Last week, Fox ran with a narrative that was being promoted in right wing circles; i.e., a study commissioned by US Senate Republicans which purportedly shows that the government spends more money on welfare than anything else. Not surprisingly, that's not true but that's what Bill O'Reilly and other Fox talkers claimed. But in the alternate reality of Fox News and Bill O'Reilly, as George Costanza said, "it's not a lie if you believe it."

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited On The Record last night to comment on “the State Department’s response” to the attacks in Libya. Although she did not absolve the Obama administration of any failures, she left no doubt that she sees no current evidence of wrongdoing and that the proper way to answer the questions left in the aftermath is through a real investigation. She also diplomatically shot down the overheated speculation that has run rampant on Fox lately.
