Fox News, We’ve Got Your Mail
Either Fox News viewers had a lot more to say last week or else they got more ignorant. But for whatever reason, there was a significant uptick in the number of emails their viewers sent to us in the ridiculously mistaken belief that we’re Fox News. Click past the jump for a select batch.
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.

Today in Fox-for-the-Zimmerman-Defense news: Fox Nation's Daily Update would give you the idea that George Zimmerman is about to be acquitted. Or if he's not, he should be.
Read moreDr. Keith Ablow The Latest Fox News Personality To Moonlight As A Huckster
We have long questioned Fox psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow's sanity but now there are reasons to question his integrity, too. It turns out he's a spokesman for a diet company - while billing himself as a "Fox News psychiatry expert." That is when he's not making bizarre "psychoanalyses" of Democrats from afar. But isn't this a violation of Fox News policy?
Read moreLaura Ingraham Smears Texas Senator Wendy Davis For Filibustering Anti-Choice Bill
After Texas state senator Wendy Davis successfully filibustered Texas’ radical anti-abortion law, the right wing predictably began sliming her. However, Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham takes the cake. She alternately made the bizarre conclusion that Davis is a hypocrite on the issue because she was a teen mother, and also asked Davis to go to a playground so she can point out which children “shouldn’t be here right now.”

Eric Bolling opened today’s The Five show by “just practicing” his Spanish. It was his way of suggesting that America as we know it will disappear thanks to the immigration reform bill that passed the Senate earlier.
