Read moreBill Cunningham Edges Out Sean Hannity As Last Week's Most Outrageous Quote
Last week's results of our Fox News Most Outrageous Quote Of The Week poll was very close but Fox regular Bill Cunningham eked out a "victory" with his sexist attack on his fellow guest, Tamara Holder, telling her to "know your place and shut your mouth." More results after the jump.
Read moreTucker Carlson Insults The Episcopal Church
Famous "dick," gay basher, and Fox News host and contributor Tucker Carlson was baptized in the Episcopal Church and married the daughter of an Episcopal priest. But he eventually realized that God hates fags, women priests, and abortion. So being the morally superior person that he is, he left the historic Falls Church Episcopal Church and joined an Anglican Church whose beliefs dovetail nicely with those of fundamentalist Christians and the Catholic Church, both of which receive pride of place at the "fair & balanced" Fox News. Being the morally superior person that he is, Carlson, during a February Fox & Friends, insulted Wiccans because they, allegedly, hate Christians. On last week's Fox & Friends, in validating an anti-abortion priest's attack on Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Carlson insulted the Episcopal Church because, according to the morally superior Carlson, it "loves abortion." This, of course, is a lie but when has the truth ever been important for Fox's morning propaganda and very Christian chat show, Fox & Friends!
Read moreFox News, We’ve Got Your Mail

Read moreChris Plante Attacks Librarians For Helping People Get Information About Obamacare
As AP reports, 17,000 American libraries are being recruited to help patrons access information and computer time related to signing up for Obamacare. But on Fox News, guest Chris Plante (with a little help from host Martha MacCallum), likened this program to help Americans make informed choices and get health insurance to North Korea. Even worse, he called the librarians who are participating, “creepy little East German(s)” propagandizing “our children.” (h/t Media Matters)
Read moreMegyn Kelly Goes To Bat For Texas Republicans And Their Restrictive Abortion Bill
Megyn Kelly joined her Fox News colleagues Bret Baier and Laura Ingraham a few days ago (6/26/13) in doing her part to promote Texas’ anti-choice bill that was successfully filibustered by state senator Wendy Davis. Davis became a Democratic star this week for her efforts in defeating the bill – while Republicans tried to overcome her actions by improperly timestamping the bill to make it look as though it had passed before a midnight deadline. But Megyn Kelly and her two like-minded guests were so busy talking up the bill – and knocking President Obama for supporting Davis – that they “forgot” all about the Republicans’ misdeeds.
Read moreSen. Rand Paul’s Ridiculous Answer About How To Handle Russia
Senator Rand Paul may be considering a run for president but he’ll probably need to bone up a wee bit more on foreign policy if he wants to stand a chance. On last night’s O’Reilly Factor, Paul was obviously clueless when guest host Laura Ingraham asked him how a “President Paul” would deal with Russia.
Read moreFox & Friends Features More 'Divine Journeys'
You're not gonna believe this; but, Fox's old time gospel hour, otherwise known as Fox & Friends, rounded out its miracle week with - drum roll please - two pieces about those who made a round trip to heaven and back - which is the title of both segments. On Wednesday, Fox friend Ainsley Earhardt spoke to a Christian pastor who got through the pearly gates and returned to tell the tale. Yesterday, Steve Doocy interviewed a young man who made the round trip when he was four. This the same kid who, in 2010, told a grinning Gretchen Carlson that he met Jesus during his celestial vacay which is the basis for his book, "Heaven is for Real." And today, the gang on the curvy couch spoke with a woman who went to heaven and was sent back home with marching orders. What can ya say!!!!
Read moreFox News Wrongly Reports That Witness Saw Trayvon Martin Punching George Zimmerman
Here's a shocker (not): Fox Nation's article (which I recently posted was hyped as part of its "acquittal" of George Zimmerman) states that a "blockbuster" witness testified to seeing punches thrown down "MMA-style" by Trayvon Martin. In fact, the witness, John Good, testified that he did not see punches thrown.
