Bret Baier Panel Uses Gosnell Trial To Push Obama/Infanticide Link - Again!!!
When challenged over its claim to be "fair & balanced," top Fox brass countered that their "opinion" shows are not subject to the Fox descriptor on the Fox logo; but their official "news" shows are the essence of fairness and balance. As we know from watching some of these "news" shows, that is either a lie or a serious delusion. The ludicrousness of their assertion was recently underscored during alleged news host Bret Baier's coverage of the Gosnell trial during which he and his panel took a page straight out of the anti-choice propaganda playbook by condemning late term abortion as "murder" and bringing up the discredited lie that then Sen. Obama's opposition to the Illinois "born-alive" bill was tantamount to support for infanticide. And to reinforce the lie, it was repeated during another Baier segment which pimped more anti-choice agitprop about Obama's address to Planned Parenthood.
Read moreBill O’Reilly: Violence Is Not About Guns, It’s About Race
Bill O’Reilly took race baiting to a whole new level last night. He very deliberately and shamelessly blamed minorities for violence – as if it were something peculiar to their natures and missing from whites – while feigning to be interested in an explanation. “It’s not about gun control, it’s about race,” O’Reilly said. The implication was that “race control” is what’s needed to solve problems of violence.
Read moreO'Reilly Tells Colmes To Shut Up
Remember when Bill O'Reilly insisted he only said "Shut up" once? Well, he's been proven a liar again. This time, O'Reilly was yet again using the Boston Marathon bombings to hate monger against a) the bomb suspect’s mother; b) immigrants; c) “the welfare chaos” and, of course, the Obama administration and Massachusetts’ Democratic governor Deval Patrick. Apparently, Alan Colmes was a little too on-target for O'Reilly. Just like he couldn't stand the truth a few weeks ago when Colmes spoke it.
Read moreYour World Also Hypes Phony Claim That Obama Offering Food Stamps To ‘Illegals’
On Friday (4/26/13), Your World fell in line with the Fox News meme of falsely suggesting that the USDA is promoting food stamp benefits to undocumented immigrants. Crystal Wright of Baker Wright Group, LLC and host Neil Cavuto turned the topic to food stamps in general. Cavuto suggested that a large number were gaming the system: “You’re talking 1 out of 5 of us in that position. That can’t be that high - that may be deserving.”
Read moreBill O'Reilly Pimps Bogus Lila Rose Video To Solicit Donations For 'Live Action' (And Defames Dr. Tiller, Again)
Given that Bill O'Reilly is America's media pope, it's not surprising that he would support Lila Rose whom "Jezebel" accurately describes as a "Joan of Arc" with a "misguided Savior complex." Lila, like O'Reilly, is a devout Catholic who, as part of her jihad (whoops, crusade) against abortion, does sting videos (she apprenticed under James O'Keefe) in order to show abortion providers engaged in criminal activities. Her efforts at entrapping clinic staff have, however, produced no investigations, let alone prosecutions, on the part of legal authorities. But because she's anti-abortion and Fox News is the mouthpiece for the movement that seeks to take women back to the dark ages, she is always warmly welcomed on Fox. And now that her homies are using the Gosnell case to conflate his clinic with safe, legal abortion, it wasn't a surprise to see her and her bogus video warmly welcomed by Bill O'Reilly who uses his Fox pulpit to fight for the rights of the unborn.
Read moreSean Hannity: 'Lawless' Obama Administration Encourages 'Illegals' To Apply For Food Stamps
As part of their war against food stamps and "illegals" Fox News is promoting the lie that the US is partnering with Mexico in order to encourage "illegals" to come here and illegally obtain food stamps. According to the Fox meme, the Hispanic community will vote Democratic in return for the "freebie." The reality is that the Mexico/America food stamp outreach is informational with a key piece of information being that those without citizenship or approved non-citizenship status aren't eligible for the benefit. Yesterday, Fox & Friends promoted the big lie which was later reinforced by Sean Hannity whose reporting was more accurate than F&F's. Funny, while this international partnership was, according to the Fox News website, started under George W. Bush, it didn't produce the "outrage" that it seems to be producing now. Hmmm...
Read moreVan Susteren And Allen West Suggest Welfare Recipients Are Terrorists
In the latest example of Fox News using the Boston Marathon bombings to politicize and hate monger, Greta Van Susteren teamed up with Allen West to twist the news that the Tsarnaev suspects received welfare into unfounded suggestions that other welfare recipients are terrorists, too.
Read moreFox To Glenn Beck: You Left To Save Your Ass, Not Your Soul
In case you missed it, Glenn Beck said last week that he left Fox News in order to save his soul, suggesting that Roger Ailes wanted him to stay. Today, Fox unequivocally challenged that. Politico received an email from a Fox News spokesman saying: Glenn Beck wasn't trying to save his soul, he was trying to save his ass. Advertisers fled his show and even Glenn knows what that means in our industry. Yet, we still tried to give him a soft landing. Guess no good deed goes unpunished.
Read moreFox & Friends & Stuart Varney Promote Lie: "Illegals" Get Food Stamps In Exchange For Voting Democratic
Along with waging a war on women, the GOP right and its mouthpiece, Fox News, are waging a war on food stamps which they feel is just another dependency fostering freebie being utilized by lazy, Obama supporting "takers" rather than a safety net for low income Americans. But even more than food stamps, the GOP right wing feel that "illegal immigrants" are a threat to America. Their mouthpiece, Fox News provides a steady stream of propaganda, directed against undocumented immigrants, that reinforces the fear and loathing. This morning, Fox & Friends conflated both memes in order to OMG wage class warfare. While the discussion covered the requisite bigotry bases, it upped the ante by actually lying about food stamp eligibility for undocumented immigrants and claiming that this is happening to get Democratic votes. Good thing Fox & Friends isn't a Fox "news" show; because in addition to not being "fair & balanced," it advanced a bold faced lie. But they did get to use "illegal immigrants" eight times, and reference "makers and takers" so it's all good...
Read moreJudge Jeanine Pirro Demands We Shred The Constitution Over Boston Bombing
If you’ve been following the news lately, you know that the mother of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, is now being accused of having radicalized her son(s). Even Fox News admits that she’s only a person of interest at this point - on their site, at least. But to one Fox News host – a former judge, no less – Tsarnaeva is not only guilty (before she’s even been charged) but should be stripped of her citizenship and sent to Guantanamo Bay prison.
