Kelly File Regular Talks Impeachment – Without Challenge From Host
Megyn Kelly held yet another in her endless series of segments trying to discredit Obamacare by denigrating the Obama administration last night. In this case, Kelly’s target was President Obama for promising people could keep their doctors and insurance plans under ObamaCare. Even though most people can. But Kelly’s guest, conservative talk show host Lars Larson took it a big step further by calling for President Obama’s impeachment. Kelly listened quietly and, unlike her treatment of her liberal guest, made no challenge.
Read moreFox Interrupts Coverage Of Obama’s Jobs Speech For GOP Interview About Benghazi
President Obama spoke today about jobs. He discussed in his remarks how companies like Honda, Samsung and Siemens are investing in America by expanding and revamping plants and creating jobs. But why would Fox News want their viewers to hear about that when they could hear Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) talk about Benghazi for the umpteenth time?
Read moreFox’s ‘Fair And Balanced’ Review Of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act Speech – With Four Obamacare Haters
Yesterday, immediately after President Obama’s speech on the Affordable Care Act ended, Your World with Neil Cavuto turned to Dr. Ben Carson, Scott Brown, Pat Buchanan, and Larry Sabato to trash the ACA rollout, the website, and more. That made four guests who were anti –ACA – plus the like-minded Cavuto. Apparently, even one pro-Obama and pro-Obamacare guest was too much to ask for.
Read moreShannon Bream Endorses Bullying By Christian Kids Because 'Religious Freedom?'
Shannon Bream and Todd Starnes are in the vanguard of Fox's fight on behalf of the multitude of Christians whose "religious freedom" is being denied by the insidious "gay agenda." They make a great tag team in that when Starnes discovers examples of this campaign to stifle Christian expression, Ms. Bream validates it by reporting it, uncritically, as real "news." And despite her devotion to Jesus, who brought her to Fox News, she is willing to lie about attempts to fight discrimination against the LGBT community in order to promote the Fox/Christian right claim that it's really the anti-discrimination laws that are discriminating against bible believing Christians because, religious freedom. And it's just not these evil laws that are the problem. According to Liberty U grad Bream, anti-bullying programs are also discriminatory towards those nice "pro-life" Christian kids who want the right to harass gay kids express themselves because, you know, religious freedom.
Read moreBill O’Reilly Starts Talking Impeachment Over Obamacare
Of all the Fox News politicization of Obamacare, Bill O’Reilly may take the cake. He’s not just trashing the Affordable Care Act. He’s actually agitating to impeach President Obama over it.
Read moreSteve Doocy, John Stossel Mock Gender Equality In Health Care
That there is, despite the GOP/Fox News claim to the contrary, a "war on women," was shown on this morning's Fox & Friends. The contempt with which the Fox/right wing patriarchy holds women was underscored by John Stossel and Steve Doocy who not only defended gender inequality in health care; but mocked the ACA's attempts to resolve it. And what made it even worse was than there was no woman taking part in the discussion - a void that was reminiscent of the GOP congressional hearing on contraception which featured a panel of men only. And this isn't the first time that Fox & Friends hosted a gender baiting segment that promoted higher insurance costs for women. But when that happened, much to her credit, Gretchen Carlson jumped in and told it like it was. Today, right wing testosterone prevailed. Once again, we're reminded that the GOP war on women is very real and Fox is in its front lines!
Read moreWhose Side Is Brit Hume On? The U.S. Or Saudi Arabia?
On Fox News Sunday, the panel discussed strains between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. Although guest Peter Baker, of the New York Times, pointed out that Saudi Arabia wants President Obama to do things he has no political support at home to do, Brit Hume made sure to find a way to blame Obama.
Read moreMegyn Kelly’s Near Hysteria To Bash Obamacare
Megyn Kelly’s disingenuous mask of neutrality slipped big time tonight on The Kelly File as she debated Democratic Congressman Frank Pallone over Obamacare. Pallone put up a spirited defense of the Affordable Care Act – and rebutted those supposed Obamacare victims that Fox loves so much they can’t be bothered to fact check whether the victimhood is real. And Kelly? She was so determined to smear the ACA that she sounded on the verge of hysteria.
Read moreGreta Van Susteren Outs Her Own Fake Obamacare Victim, Sort Of
We’ll file this in the credit where credit is due department. Greta Van Susteren more or less debunked a Florida Obamacare “victim” who had been profiled on CBS as losing her health insurance and being stuck with a plan that costs ten times more. In an October 28th interview, Van Susteren pointed out that the existing health insurance policy was almost worthless and the “victim” herself admitted she may well be eligible for a policy at substantially less than the amount being touted. However, there were plenty of clues that Van Susteren’s revelation was less than welcome music to Fox News’ ears.
Read moreBill Hemmer Enlists John Bolton For Fox's Christians Vs. Muslim Super Bowl
In addition to promoting the Christian right's not so sacramental whine about America's Christians who are constantly besieged by the secular, atheist, and gay "agendas," Fox News has taken its patented "war on Christians" international. Last week they did three, count em, pieces about how Middle Eastern Christians are suffering at the hands of Muslims. But the Fox coverage of the Fox "war on Christians" is, like the battle of good vs. evil, still in full throttle as, on Monday, Bill Hemmer discussed it on America's Newsroom, an afternoon "new" show which he hosts. And who better to assist Bill, in promoting the new meme, than former UN Ambassador, John Bolton, who was totally on board with a war in which the US overthrew an Iraqi dictator who protected Christians.
