Fox’s “objective reporter,” Ed Henry, might just win a Fox News award for Most Creative Way To Use Benghazi Against President Obama In 2012. In a report yesterday that was supposed to be about how President Obama was handling Monster Storm Sandy, Henry began by saying, “The President took a lot of heat for how he reacted to Benghazi so they are struggling and scrambling to stay on top of this storm with rain and winds still whipping around here in Washington."

Republican Governor Chris Christie – who was recently criticized for talking more about himself than about Mitt Romney during the RNC convention’s keynote address – almost certainly did nothing to redeem himself with those critics when he appeared on Fox & Friends this morning and said President Obama is doing “a great job for New Jersey” in the wake of Monster Storm Sandy. To add insult to injury, when asked if Mitt Romney would be touring the state to assess the damage with him, Christie shot down the question by saying, “I could care less about any of that stuff.”

In their desperate efforts to smear President Obama, Fox & Friends frequently hosts right wing entertainers and radio hosts to push whatever right wing propaganda needs pushing. So while it's bad enough that these folks have political credibility, it's sad enough that, in their desperation, they are now resorting to interviewing the has been (actually never was) host of "The Love Connection," Chuck Woolery. But while Woolery, in his former incarnation, was benign; his new incarnation as a GOP activist is not. At the last CPAC convention he said not only gays don't deserve civil rights, but blacks don't either. Figures that as a washed up game show host, he'd get stranded on the shores of Fox News where Steve Doocy provided validation for more toxic flotsam that is Fox & Friends!

It was disgusting enough that Sean Hannity could not forego hate mongering against President Obama even as a good chunk of the United States was being pounded by Hurricane Sandy. But it was beyond the pale that he did so by exploiting the family of a SEAL who died at Benghazi.

As New York City and much of the East Coast gets pummeled by Hurricane Sandy, Sean Hannity used much of his show to advance his hate mongering against all things liberal and/or Democratic. So it shouldn’t come as a total shock that even his interview about the storm was a thinly-veiled effort to push conservative talking points.

With their Benghazi witch hunt overshadowed by Hurricane Sandy, it was only a matter of time before Fox News figured out a way to use the Frankenstorm to attack President Obama. But have no fear, Obama haters, your wait is over. On this morning’s Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade and reporter John Roberts worked in three swipes at Obama in just over two minutes.

There's a lovely write up in the New York Times today about Sally Kohn, one of Fox News' few muscular voices for progressives. But at the risk of sounding nit-picky, the Times largely gave Fox a pass on the ways it limits Kohn's participation at the same time that it publicly lauds her commentating.

While much of the United States focuses on coping with a catastrophic storm that could affect 60 million people, Fox News made sure not to interrupt its Benghazi witch hunt what with the election so close and all. 

Can you imagine the indignant howls of Fox News outrage if an MSNBC or CNN host actively campaigned for a Democrat? It would be denounced as blatant media bias. Meanwhile, Fox's Mike Huckabee is out stumping for a Republican man who thinks that if a woman is impregnated by her rapist, her magic spermicide isn't working and she clearly was complicit in this non "legitimate" rape. But this kind of thing isn't a problem for Mike Huckabee who, while campaigning for Republicans, has found the time to cut a TV ad in support of Todd Akin whom he praises as a "good man with a Christian heart."

Today on Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace discussed the gender gap and Republican Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock’s comments about rape. Then Wallace asked Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) why a pro-choice woman should vote for Mitt Romney given his stance on abortion and Planned Parenthood. Johnson’s surprising answer was that nobody cares about abortion. But polling indicates otherwise.
