Read moreFox Loves The Sequester! The Truth About It, Not So Much!
Last week, Your World worked Fox’s misleading hype of the sequester into a project about the federal government’s green projects. Host Neil Cavuto pivoted with this question: “At a time when we’re spending billions upon billions doing this nonsense and seeing very little in terms of results, I’m kind of hearing the shallow echo of the sequester fears, and how much devastation it was going to cause with the sequestration cuts, most of which have been rescinded, Charles, and it’s hardly the end of the world.”

Fox News has no problem objecting to the First Amendment rights of atheists who put up signs which are offensive to Christians. Yet, when the LGBT community and its supporters object to a cable TV program which would be showcasing two brothers with radical views about gays, Muslims, and abortion, it's all boo freaking hoo.

Fox’s resident culture warrior, Todd Starnes, visited The Kelly File Thursday night and discussed the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing prayer at government meetings.

Read moreFox's Ablow: Sex Ed A 'Trojan Horse' For Threesomes
Fox psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow proved once again today that he might be better off seeing a good shrink than playing one on TV. In a discussion about a sex education book on Outnumbered, Ablow announced that he's against sex ed altogether. One of the reasons? It could promote threesomes. Or lead to them. Or something.
