On Fox & Friends: Book Protesting Hero Dad Gets More Free Face Time To Whine About 1st Amendment Rights Violation
Earlier this week, Megyn Kelly provided some free publicity for a New Hampshire father who was arrested for being disruptive in a school board meeting during which he protested a class reading assignment. William Baer, already a hero in the public school hating, freedom loving tea partysphere, got some more sweet free face time on yesterday's Fox & Friends during one of their public school hating, freedom loving "Trouble With Schools" segment.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Provides Weak Response To Hate Group Pres.Tony Perkins' 'Biblical' Homophobia
Last August, the head of a homophobic hate group, "Americans for Truth About Homosexuality," Peter LaBarbera, accused Fox News of pro-gay bias. Much of the report focused on Megyn Kelly who was deemed to be too tolerant regarding gay issues. La Barbera should rest easy because Megyn Kelly has obviously gotten the message that she needs to get back on the homo hating highway. Last night, Kelly, who shows lots of love to Tony Perkins, head of the homophobic hate group, "The Family Research Council," showed more love for Perkins who whined about how nasty gay bullies have pressured HGTV to drop a show done by the anti-gay, anti-choice, and anti-Muslim sons of anti-abortion domestic terrorist the "Rev" Phillip Benham. While Kelly provided a weak counterpoint, Perkins was able to preach the right wing/Fox/Tony Perkins "gay bully" meme, as well as the patented Fox News persecuted Christian meme which Kelly did validate. Pro-gay bias? Not so much!
Read moreIs Bill O'Reilly Wanted By 'The Beygency?'
In a parody of those action movies in which characters who speak out against authority are pursued and dealt with by mysterious forces, last Saturday's SNL did a great sketch on what happens to those who diss Beyoncé. In the fake movie trailer, a character is less than reverential to Beyoncé and is chased by her enforcers, "The Beygency." So I started thinking that if this Beygency did exist, it would be looking for Bill O'Reilly whose comments about Queen Bey have been, seriously, pretty disgusting.
Read moreAnn Coulter Advises Monica Lewinsky: Convert To Christianity
Ann Coulter may have called Bill Clinton “a very good rapist” and “scumbag” but that’s no reason to think she wouldn’t be fair and balanced enough to go on Fox’s Hannity show and share her thoughts on Monica Lewinsky’s just-penned article in Vanity Fair.
Read moreTo Laura Ingraham, Nigerian Schoolgirl Kidnapping Is All About Benghazi And Hillary Clinton
The kidnapping of about 300 hundred Nigerian schoolgirls by a Nigerian extremist group called Boko Haram is now officially about Benghazi on The O’Reilly Factor. Oh, and it’s also Hillary Clinton’s fault. Or close enough to say so, as far as Fox is concerned.
Read moreFox Uses Benghazi To Rehabilitate Donald Rumsfeld - Again
In case you haven’t noticed, at the same time that Fox News has been exploiting the Benghazi tragedy as the worst scandal since Watergate, it has also been working to whitewash the record of lies and missteps of Iraq war architect Donald Rumsfeld. Yesterday, Rumsfeld got yet another friendly platform from which to attack Obama over Benghazi - and which also served to bolster his own national security bona fides.
Read moreAn Outraged Megyn Kelly Validates Outraged Parent Arrested For Disrupting School Board Meeting Over 'Pornographic' Book
When a Muslim parent objected to a possible First Amendment violation involving a public school promotion of an Easter egg hunt, at a Christian church, Fox treated his complaint with derision. But a parent who thinks his First Amendment rights have been violated because his behavior at a school board meeting resulted in his arrest is being given hero status on Fox News. William Baer's case has become a cause célèbre in the dark netherworld of the public school hating right wing, so it's not surprising that Fox would give him a national platform from which to whine about his unfair treatment at the hands of a school system that permits high school students to read about, gasp, sex. Megyn Kelly was so outraged that she covered this on two shows. I suspect that if the parent had been Muslim and had objected to, uh, anything, the story would be treated quite differently...
Read moreEric Bolling’s Made-Up Benghazi And Bin Laden Conspiracy Theory Gets The Colbert Treatment
Last night, Stephen Colbert aired – for millions of people to watch and laugh at – a clip of Fox News host Eric Bolling pulling a “passionate, heartfelt conspiracy theory” tying Benghazi to Osama Bin Laden “straight out of (Bolling’s) ass.” Devastating-to-Fox comedy ensued.
Read moreHow Fox Used Sen. Warren’s Student Loan Bill To Campaign Against Student Loans Altogether
Fox’s Your World pretended to discuss a bill proposed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren allowing students to refinance their student loans a few days ago. But the show chose as its only guest a Fox Business Network host who used his time on the show to argue that government-provided student loans should just be abolished.
Read moreFox Pundits Blame Nigerian Schoolgirl Kidnapping Partly On Benghazi
Fox host Laura Ingraham won tonight’s “Make Any Story About Benghazi” award when she suggested Benghazi was partly to blame for the recent kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls. For extra Fox News credit, regular guest Zuhdi Jasser attacked John Kerry, too. To listen to Jasser and Ingraham, you might think the Obama administration was almost the sole cause of the Nigerian kidnapping and all other Islamic radicalism.
