Fox & Friends Hypes Islamophobe’s Suit Against The Military
Fox & Friends got a twofer earlier this week when it showcased a threatened lawsuit by Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley against the U.S. Military. Dooley is not only a virulent Islamophobe but he apparently hates President Obama. So when Dooley’s representative told guest host Peter Johnson, Jr. that the Pentagon has capitulated to jihadists, Johnson was all ears and no challenge.
Read moreMitt Romney Hearts ‘Refreshing,’ ‘Statesman’ Glenn Beck
In a new article in Mother Jones, writers David Corn and Stephanie Mencimer caught Mitt Romney singing the praises of Glenn Beck at a May 2009 fundraiser for a dubious, unaccredited college that seemed more intent on promoting extremist views than academic excellence. The entire article is quite eye-opening about how the recently-moderate Romney pandered to the far right. But most relevant to us as News Hounds are Romney’s comments about Beck.

In addition to the usual character assassinations and promotion of the GOP/right wing agenda, Bill O'Reilly's trademark bloviation has taken on a "Dr. Phil" aspect in that Bill is now giving his "folks" advice on how to be a better and nicer person. Last night he recommended giving compliments, "rare in this selfish world," to people because it makes them feel good. He advised that if they make a good point "say, hey, that's a good point." Recently, as discussed by Ann Coulter on Megyn Kelly's Fox News program, and reported on the Fox News website and Fox Nation, African-American actress, Stacey Dash received death threats after she tweeted her support for Mitt Romney. She is being defended by Sandra Fluke who tweets that the "racist attacks" are unacceptable. She makes a good point. Let's see if Bill practices what he preaches by giving her a compliment. I'm not holding my breath!
Read moreAnn Romney Gets Some Fox News Love From Martha MacCallum
Ann Romney had a little girlfriend chat with Martha MacCallum this morning on America’s Newsroom. The show airs during what Fox calls its “objective news” line up. But somehow, all the questions were sympathetic to Romney. And she had no problem with Romney denigrating Obama by likening him to a kid-in-a-sandbox for challenging Mitt Romney's veracity.
