Hannity And Bolling Love Coach Mike Rice's Abusive Behavior At Rutgers
Fox News' Eric Bolling and Sean Hannity seem to be competing for who can slobber more over the abusive tactics of now-fired Rutgers basketball coach, Mike Rice. As you probably know, Rice was fired after a video of him pushing and throwing balls at his players went viral. He also shouted homophobic slurs. But to Bolling and Hannity, Rice's tactics are just what we need to fight the "wussification" of America.
Read moreO’Reilly Threefer: College Radicals, Islamophobia And Bikinis
Bill O'Reilly's producer Jesse Watters found yet another excuse to go to the beach and film young ladies in bikinis – and call it a Factor investigation. This time, he visited college students on spring break in order to “investigate” liberal indoctrination on college campuses. That’s right, no curricula examination, no interviews with professors or college administrators. Just the kids. In bikinis. He hit bonus paydirt when he was able to work a little Islamophobia into the mix.
Read moreFox News Attacks Professor, Racist Death Threats Follow
Aggrieved Christians, especially those on Fox, claim that the librul education, media, and arts community attack Christians because they, unlike those evil Muslims, are peaceful people who won't fight back. But their contention that Christians gracefully accept whatever is thrown at them is a crock of crap as shown by their reaction to yet another Fox fueled "outrage" over a Florida university professor's request that students "stomp on Jesus" as part of a lesson on symbols. While the controversy began on right wing blogs, "fair & balanced" Fox News gave it national attention. Not surprisingly, it was the topic for discussion on Fox & Friends, the Fox sanctuary for persecuted Christians. Fox's culture war ayatollah, Bill O'Reilly, covered the "controversy." During all the segments, a photo of the teacher, who is black, was shown. And now that the Deandre Poole has received racist comments and death threats on his voice and e-mail, he has been put on leave because of safety concerns. Praise Jesus?
Read moreSean Hannity: Planned Parenthood, Pres. Obama Support Infanticide
Bill O'Reilly isn't the only Catholic, pro-life Fox "news" guy who uses his show to promote the lies and propaganda of those who seek to control women's bodies. While not as strident as O'Reilly, who used his show to vilify an abortion provider, Sean Hannity is fully on board with the anti-abortion crusade against Planned Parenthood. Last week, a Florida Planned Parenthood representative, during a hearing regarding protection for fetuses born during botched abortions, said that medical decisions should be between the mother and the doctor. That generated a right wing media frenzy during which right wing media outlets were "shitting all over themselves" to show that Planned Parenthood supports the murder of post-born children which is, of course, a lie. Bill O'Reilly advanced this narrative which includes the perfunctory anti-abortion lie that Pres. Obama supports infanticide. Sean Hannity was more than happy to do the same!
Read moreTavis Smiley Gives Hannity A Pass On His Bigotry And Ben Carson
Sean Hannity apparently thinks that going on a tear portraying Dr. Ben Carson as a victim of liberal racism will somehow make his own record of bigotry and race-baiting disappear. Or maybe make us forget. But some of us cannot and will not. Sadly, Tavis Smiley either didn’t know or else overlooked it when he appeared on the Hannity show a few nights ago.
Read moreFox News' Bill Hemmer Thinks Jesus Belongs In Public Schools?!
As Fox News constantly informs us, America, a Christian nation, is constantly being besieged by evil atheists who want to take Jesus out of the public square. In so doing, Fox is pandering to those who object to their tax dollars being spent on women's health care at Planned Parenthood; but who have no problem with Christian symbols in the taxpayer funded public square and schools. Recently, an Ohio public school took down a portrait of Jesus (the schlocky Aryan Jesus hung in every Catholic home in the 50's), hung in the school foyer, because of concerns about the cost of a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and the Freedom From Religion Foundation, two groups on the top of Fox's shit list. While anybody with a rudimentary knowledge of the First Amendment would agree that there is a church/ state issue here, Bill Hemmer, one of many conservative Christians in Roger Ailes' stable, just doesn't get why poor, ole Jesus can't hang out in this school.
Read moreGOP Civil War: Mark Levin Attacks Dana Perino Over Dr. Ben Carson
I think we can count on radio talk show host Mark Levin not being quite the Fox News regular he was supposed to be. At least not after his rant against "elitist" Dana Perino on the air yesterday. Perino's "crime?" Saying that Dr. Benjamin Carson doesn't do himself any favors by going on the air so much.
Read moreFox News' "Illegal Immigrants" Vs. Fox News Latino's "Undocumented Immigrants"
The news that the AP has dropped the term "illegal immigrant" from its lexicon was met with scorn and derision on the "fair & balanced" Fox News network. Steve Doocy suggested a conspiracy; i.e. that the AP was "cheerleading for immigration reform." Brian Kilmeade asked why anybody should care about the bias of the rejected term when these folks are "here illegally." On Neil Cavuto's show, Michelle Malkin did her patented snarling snark about how the AP is trying "to radically redefine the definition of citizenship." But the Fox News website is sticking with the patriotic American "illegal immigrant." Meanwhile, Fox News Latino is using the scorned and derided term. Paging Dr. Ablow, Fox media has a serious split personality.
Read moreFox Ignores Draconian ND Abortion Law While Extolling State’s ‘Freedom’
Last week, North Dakota enacted three of the most extreme anti-choice laws in the United States. But you’d never know that from watching Fox & Friends this morning when Judge Andrew Napolitano and the Curvy Couch Crew extolled a study by “a libertarian think tank” placing North Dakota as one of the “freest” states in the union. (H/T Bemused)
