Fox & Friends LIken Obama To Hugo Chavez
Leave it to Fox News to observe the death of a national leader by using it to hate monger against our president!
Read moreCavuto Guest Opposes Sex Ed But Wants Chicago Kids To Shoot Each Other?
Just when you think you've heard the most ignorant and offensive right wing comment, think again. While a recent comment, on Neil Cavuto's show, wasn't on a par with the infamous rape comments made by two failed GOP senatorial candidates, it certainly is right up there in the GOP Hall of Shame. Last Friday, Cavuto and Michelle Fields discussed a new Chicago sex-ed program that will provide age appropriate information for kindergartners, including what constitutes "bad touch." (*Fields is the GOP's newest hot, young thing whose main cred is that she hosts an internet show with the former congressman Allen West) Cavuto and Fields were appalled by the curriculum which is intended to protect kids against sexual predators - not, as claimed by Cavuto, to make students "sexually savvy." Fields used her face time to denigrate the Chicago public ("government") school system. She also suggested that, rather than teach "disgusting" sex-ed, Chicago schools teach the kids, many of them living in violent neighborhoods, how to shoot a gun!

Bill O'Reilly knew he went too far with his vicious attacks on Alan Colmes last night and he repeatedly referred to that meltdown discussion during the rest of the show. In the opening of a subsequent segment with John Stossel, O'Reilly said, "I'm still feeling bad about Colmes." But Stossel didn't mince his words. "You were out of line!" he shot back.
Read moreHannity Goes to Bat for Poor Children in America. Aggressively.
Mohammed Morsi and his government in Egypt have worked a miracle, gentle reader! They’ve gotten Sean Hannity concerned about poor children in America! How did this wonder of wonders happen? Because Secretary of State John Kerry has just announced nearly $450 million in aid to the "terrorist," "Muslim Brotherhood" government in Egypt instead of spending it on poor children (or on the military, which is more characteristic). The Obama administration's support of Egypt is a familiar topic of outrage on Fox, and Monday night Hannity made it the subject of one of his bring-in-a-friend-and-we'll-bully-a-liberal segments.
Read moreO'Reilly Skeptically Revisits Menendez Prostitution Story
Minutes after O'Reilly's shocking meltdown with Alan Colmes - and when I was certainly in no mood to give him any props - he rightly questioned Tucker Carlson over those anonymously-sourced accusations about Senator Robert Menendez consorting with prostitutes. You may recall I criticized O'Reilly for denouncing anonymously-sourced stories - as he worked them into a discussion anyway - and for subsequently ignoring the recent evidence undermining the accusations. Well, file this under "Credit Where Credit Is Due." However, O'Reilly did allow Carlson to waffle on the question of whether the accusing women took money for their stories and he allowed Carlson to skate on media reports that undermine the Daily Caller's allegations.
Read moreO’Reilly Loses It Big Time With Alan Colmes
Bill O’Reilly had a major meltdown tonight with Alan Colmes. It has to be seen to be believed but let’s just say that O’Reilly was screaming at Colmes that he’s a liar and Colmes respectfully but firmly shot back, “Don’t you call me a liar.” Later, O’Reilly seethed, “It’s jack what you’re saying. There’s another word for it but it’s an obscenity.” In a subsequent segment, John Stossel told O’Reilly he had been out of line and “obnoxious.”
Read moreNeil Cavuto Prefers Pedophilia Over Sex Ed?
The American right thinks that sex education is a nefarious librul plot to turn American kids into raging sex machines with some of that sex being - OMG - gay! They still cling to the belief that "abstinence education" is the only approach and, as we see from high teen pregnancy and STD rates in abstinence only states, that just isn't true. As the mouthpiece for the radical right, Fox "News," has provided a media platform for the promotion of anti-sex education zealotry. The Fox "friends" supported a Michigan anti-teacher's union group opposed to a local sex education plan because it promoted "transgender tolerance." They also took the side of those who opposed a Montana sex education curriculum as did O'Reilly,who told homophobic lies about it. Hannity validated opposition to the MT and NY City curriculums. And now that Chicago will be implementing an age appropriate sex-ed curriculum, Neil Cavuto is providing Fox News affirmation for those who don't want kids to learn about their bodies - and sexual abuse. One suspects that he's also opposed to public spending on the consequences of ignorance. Anyway...
Read moreO’Reilly Fights ‘Barbarism’ By Stalking, Harassing, Smearing And Bullying Gay Congressman
If you’ve been watching The O’Reilly Factor lately, you know that he has been “questioning” whether we have become a “barbaric” country. In a Talking Points commentary last week, he vowed, “I do not want my country to be a place of barbarism and I will fight against that!” Apparently, O’Reilly’s “solution” is to behave like a bullying dictator, demand that the State of Colorado pass “Jessica’s Law," which imposes mandatory sentences on child molesters, then stalk and harass a gay state representative who opposes the law and, while he's at it, suggest that his opposition is due to his homosexuality. Yeah, that’s showing your compassion and kindness for the kids, alright.
Read moreWhy Didn’t Hannity And O’Reilly Note Problems In Menendez ‘Prostitute’ Story?
By Media Matters' count, Fox News hyped at least 22 times a Daily Caller report that Senator Robert Menendez paid underage prostitutes for sex in the Dominican Republic. But yesterday, the Washington Post reported that a woman who appeared in a video accusing Menendez of paying her for sex was in reality paid to make that accusation and never actually met him. So why didn’t either Sean Hannity or Bill O’Reilly mention that update last night given that they spent plenty of time airing the allegations?
Read moreBill O'Reilly Gives Advice On Being Rational? Really?
If Bill O'Reilly actually thinks that his sage advice, proffered during his *daily "Tip of the Day" segment, has any credibility, he's even more narcissistic and delusional than he appears to be. If anything, it provides an amusing example of the discrepancy between what he preaches and what he practices such as his recent admonition about private hissy fits when, in reality, O'Reilly's modus operandi is to "vent" his anger on his guests. He gave us more comedic stylings and irony with another "Tip" which was about how if you stand up for what you believe in, in a rational way, it will pay off in the long run. Rational? Bill O'Reilly? Hahahahahahahahah!!!!
