Is Bolling Hoping To Bomb Pakistan?
Chalk up Eric Bolling as the latest Fox News chickenhawk enthusiastic about the possibility of a new war. On today's The Five, after discussing a Pakistani minister offering a $100,000 bounty to find the filmmaker of Innocence of Muslims, Bolling said, "Maybe it’s time to cut off the aid and maybe send a drone or two right over the embassy."

Megyn Kelly had a mini meltdown when Democratic guest (and News Hounds Top Dog) Bernard Whitman refused to confine his answers to Kelly’s right-wing framing of a debate about President Obama’s decision to appear on The View and not hold meetings with world leaders during the U.N.’s General Assembly.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Validates David Horowitz's Attack On Huma Abedin & Other Assorted Islamophobic Conspiracies?
That Fox News is an "echo-chamber" for Islamophobia is underscored by their legitimization of anti-Islamic extremists such as hate group leader Pam Geller, who recently appeared on Fox in order to bray about how President Obama, in condemning the infamous anti-Islamic video, is dissing free speech. Like Geller, David Horowitz is also virulently anti-Islamic. But his radical ideas are not a problem for Fox News which, last week, provided him with a platform to continue Geller's meme that Obama is abetting a worldwide Muslim attempt to prohibit free speech. Alleged news host Megyn Kelly allowed him an almost uninterrupted platform for his bizarre conspiracies which included the vicious Michele Bachman generated smear of State Department official Huma Abedin - a smear that Ms. Kelly didn't totally dismiss. Fox News, "fair & balanced" as always!
Read moreFox News' 'Overwhelmingly Misleading' Climate Science Reporting
As Media Matters notes, despite Rupert Murdoch's 2007 pledge to improve reporting on climate science, the coverage at News Corp.'s Fox News and Wall Street Journal remains "overwhelmingly misleading," according to a new study by the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Read moreFox News' Selective Outrage Over American Flag Alteration
The newest faux "outrage" in the right wing community is the Obama campaign visual which is an abstract American flag that puts the Obama campaign logo in place of the stars on the American flag. The stripes are rendered in abstract brush strokes. Allged "news" anchor Megyn Kelly provided an echo chamber for this outrage. As reported by News Hounds Brian, she said that "folks" say that the stripes of the flag are reminiscent of the bloody handprints on the Libyan consulate walls. The folks she is referring to are in the right wing blogosphere which is simply ablaze with righteous fury about what they feel is a desecration of the flag. But these same "folks" had no problem when teabagging "patriots" did their own alterations one of which included Sarah Palin's visage superimposed over the stripes. They also had no problem with the flag being flown upside down at a Tea Party rally. Ironic, don't ya think?!
Read moreAinsley Earhardt Cheerleads For Victimized Christian Cheerleaders
In Foxworld, Islam is viewed with suspicion, if not outright hostility; while, at the same time, any expression of Christianity, even when it clearly violates the First Amendment, doesn't seem to be a problem. And when Christians are challenged by the demonic forces of the ACLU, Fox News (Jesus' personal network) provides them with a national venue for their claims of persecution. On this morning's Fox & Friends, sweet lil Christian gal Ainsley Earhardt followed up on Fox Radio's "fundamentalist barking dog" Todd Starnes expose of how some evil doer complained about bible quote banners which are displayed at the Kountze, Texas public high school football games. Earhardt interviewed two cheerleaders and a "football mom" who just can't understand why this is a problem. And while this kind of religious fervor might be problematic, vis-a-vis the Constitution that Jesus wrote (just ask Mike Huckabee), Fox News has framed it as just more victimized Christians being persecuted for their faith! Amen?
Read moreLeft-Wing Media Buried Obama's 'Redistribution' Tape, Says Fox Nation and Friends
Poor old Mitt Romney. Done in by the liberal media again. A report from the conservative Media Research Center- posted on the Fox Nation - says that the Big Three networks gave Romney’s “47%” gaffe 88 minutes of coverage versus only six minutes to the video of Obama saying he favored redistribution.
Read moreJohn Bolton: President Obama Doesn't Care Much About Keeping Us Safe
It's one thing to disagree with President Obama's foreign policy. It's another thing to accuse him of not caring much about it on a news network that bills itself as “fair and balanced.” But John Bolton, who would have no way of knowing much about President Obama's thinking, announced on On The Record last night that Obama is more interested in “restructuring our daily life” than in keeping Americans safe. Shameful.
Read moreHannity Lectures Two U.S. Senators On Foreign Aid To Egypt
Sean Hannity – the guy whose go-to experts on unrest in the Middle East are Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter (whom he treats more respectfully than John McCain) – obviously thinks he knows better than two United States Senators sitting on the Foreign Relations Committee. As they tried to explain to college drop-out Hannity why it’s in the United States’ interest to continue sending aid to Egypt, he insisted otherwise.
Read moreBernard ‘Nappy-Headed Ho’ McGuirk Attacks Randy Newman As A Racist
Randy Newman – of the satirical “Short People” song fame – has written and performed a new satirical song with the repeated line, “I’m Dreaming Of A White President.” In it, Newman, a supporter of President Obama, takes on what he sees as a deep strain of racism in the electorate by singing from the point of view of someone nostalgic for a white president. So who did The O’Reilly Factor turn to for “insight” into the song? Bernard McGuirk, Don Imus’ long-time producer, who has a long history of making inflammatory racial comments, including taking part in the now-infamous “nappy-headed ho” discussion that got him and Imus fired from their radio show.
