Birther Boy Donald Trump got a full hour on a Hannity special last night to offer up his gas bag of punditry. Naturally, Sean Hannity drooled over every attack. But Hannity – who decries the race card when it’s played by black people – seems to think it’s a fine tool to use against President Obama.

While the reality based community is concerned about the fact that a third of this country's children are obese, the magical world of Fox & Friends thinks that this is no big whoop and attempts to curtail this problem are an infringement, by the Obama administration and Michelle Obama, on personal freedom. As such, Fox & Friends provides happy validation (War on Health) for those who oppose new guidelines for health school meals - even to the point of praising the nutritional value of sugar laden chocolate milk. In attempting to allay concerns about the dangers of too much salt, they brought in a representative from - wait for it - "The Salt Institute." And now that the kids in Kansas are upset about healthier school lunches, Fox & Friends is on their side and to reinforce the message that unhealthy eating is good for your kids is - wait for it - the aforementioned representative, Lori Roman, from the Salt Institute. Only in the Orwellian world of Fox is school nutrition part of "the trouble with schools."

You can barely turn on Fox News these days without hearing someone whine how the "liberal media bias" is to blame for Mitt Romney's falling poll numbers. David Carr, the New York Times' media critic, rightly demolishes that myth today in an editorial. But what he didn't contemplate is how the myth nonetheless serves some very useful Republican purposes regardless of its absurdity.

The talking heads on the so "fair & balanced" Fox News are always whining about media bias. So it was rather amusing to see Fox & Friends advance their narrative, that the mainstream media is "in the tank" for President Obama, with right wing columnist Mona Charen. And we know that she's not biased because her two books ("Useful Idiots: How Liberals Got it Wrong in the Cold War and Still Blame America First" and "Do-Gooders: How Liberals Harm Those They Claim to Help — and the Rest of Us") demonstrate some real journalistic objectivity. Just kidding.

On yesterday’s Cashin’ In, the topic was allowing students to finish high school in two years instead of four. Although the subject was couched as a benefit to students, it became pretty apparent that the panelists' real interest in the subject was to cut back on spending for education.

In the alternate reality of GOP "boss" Rush Limbaugh, the man behind the infamous anti-Islamic You Tube video is being persecuted by the Obama administration. While there's no organized "Free Nakoula" movement, it appears that alleged Fox "news" host, Megyn Kelly, is very concerned about his fate and as such, seems to be attempting to generate some sympathy for him. During her interview with the crazed and inchoate professional Islamophobe, David Horowitz, the underlying theme of her presentation was that poor Nakoula was "dragged" from his home "in the middle of the night" by nefarious fascist forces of the LA police. On Friday, she went even further in what she seems to be characterizing as a miscarriage of justice while Fox's Peter Johnson Jr. suggested that it could be connected to the Obama administration. And Fox News says the librul media is biased? Really?

It’s Sunday morning and we've made it to the end of September. While you brew that second coffee, gentle reader, allow me to regale you with some random clips from this morning’s Fox Nation.

Never mind all the race baiting of the Obama's that goes on at Fox News. When Michelle Obama brings up the fact that slaves helped build the White House that she now calls home, Fox News calls the O'Reilly Factor segment discussing those comments, "Michelle Obama injects race into politics." Even though nobody in the discussion felt that she said anything inappropriate or untoward.

Fox News in general, and Sean Hannity in particular, are accusing the Obama campaign of being the “dirtiest ever,” and bemoaning its use of attack ads. Yet when Fox Fave Rep. Allen West uses a sorry incident in his rival’s reckless youth as material for an attack ad, he nods approvingly, Fox Nation calls it “inspiring” and the wingnuts eat it up.
