Megyn Kelly Pimps Outrage Over Christian Movie Oscar Snub With Anti-Obama Film Producer
A Golden Globe nominated Taylor Swift song and a folk inspired piece from "Inside Llewyn Davis" were snubbed by this year's Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. But discussion about this pales when compared to howls of righteous Christian indignation over how a song, from an evangelical Christian movie, got an Oscar snub. The reason for doing so is clear. The songwriter e-mailed the song to members of the Academy and this was seen as an attempt to gain "unfair advantage." But in the world of Fox News, Christians are allowed to break the rules and those who call them out on it are part of Satan's minions. On yesterday's Fox & Friends, two of Fox's professional Christians Peter Johnson Jr. and Elisabeth Hasselbeck advanced the outrage in yet another patented persecuted Christian pity party. The patented evil Hollywood "picks on" godly Christians Fox narrative was advanced, later in the day, by "truth detector" Megyn Kelly who cited the Fox "brain room" to advance the agitprop.

Neil Cavuto blatanntly promoted Fox News contributor Scott Brown ae a great candidate because of his good looks yesterday. Cavuto noted that Brown is tied in a poll with New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and he made a special point of letting Brown, formerly a Senator in Massachusetts, say he lives in New Hampshire (a sore point). But mostly Cavuto praised how Brown looked in a shirtless photo after a polar plunge.
Read moreJames Carville Not Sure Whether Or Not Fox News ‘Tilts Right’
Hillary Clinton and President Obama must have hit quite the nerve with their Super Bowl smackdowns of Fox News bias on Sunday. That is, if the network’s ongoing hissy fit over them is any indication. Tonight, James Carville was handed his own opportunity to smack down Fox on a proverbial silver platter and – he mostly gave them a pass.
Read moreFox’s Unfair, Unbalanced Fear Mongering About Obama’s Executive Orders
Last week, Fox News host Eric Bolling helped Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) fear monger about President Obama’s using executive actions to bypass Congress, and his bill to enable (junk) lawsuits to stop it. Predictably, no mention was made of how executive orders have been upheld by the Supreme Court and have been used for such actions as the emancipation of slavery.
Read moreNeil Cavuto’s Hair-Splitting Benghazi Question: Is An Act Of Terror Really The Same As A Terrorist Act?
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) visited Fox’s Your World show yesterday to attack President Obama over the zombie Benghazi scandal. Yesterday’s excuse for keeping it undead? Whether or not President Obama’s description of the attack as an “act of terror” was, as host Neil Cavuto put it, “really the same as (calling it) a terrorist act?”
Read morePeter Johnson Jr. Whines About Hollywood Academy 'Picking On' Christian Film
The religious right's church of perpetual persecution believes that Hollywood liberals, who are corrupting the culture of Christian America, are anti-Christian. As the media mouthpiece for persecuted Christians who hate Hollywood, Fox News loves to point out that Hollywood (and Jon Stewart) hates Christians. The newest thing to have godly Christian panties in a bunch is the "blacklisting" of a Christian film whose best Original Song nomination was nixed because the song's composer violated Oscar rules. But on Fox & Friends such complexities do not apply to Christians who, according to the gang on the curvy couch, are targets of liberal Hollywood's religious bigotry. It's time to pity party!
Read moreObama Tells O’Reilly: Fox News Is ‘Absolutely’ Unfair
Bill O’Reilly played Part 2 of his interview with President Obama tonight. They discussed the Keystone Pipeline and other issues, including an attempt by O’Reilly to lecture Obama about black social issues. Obama deftly turned it aside. But the most interesting moments came when Obama confronted O’Reilly about Fox News’ bias against him.
Read moreFox Wants You To Think Hillary Was Tweeting About Obama ‘Getting Sacked’ On Fox, Not The Broncos
Yesterday, President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton landed some Super Bowl smack downs of Fox News. So today, Fox tried to wipe the egg off its face by claiming that Clinton’s viral tweet about Fox was really a put down of Obama. #NotTheOnion
Read moreGeraldo Rivera Thinks Jon Stewart Has Turned On Democrats
If you watched Fox News at all Friday, you probably saw a clip of Jon Stewart laughing at Nancy Pelosi when she said she didn’t know why “it’s so hard to get a company to execute the (HealthCare.gov) exchange competently.” But Geraldo Rivera took it a step further when he argued that the clip signaled Stewart becoming a foe of Democrats.
Read moreBrian Kilmeade Endorses Public School Football Coach Led Student Prayer?
Fox News just can't get enough of that First Amendment free speech thing when it comes to homophobic Christian reality TV stars and bakers who refuse to provide wedding cakes for gay couples. Of course, when atheists put up billboards, the same constitutional protections don't seem to apply. But while the Fox talkers love constitutional speech protections, they either aren't aware of or willfully dismiss the "no law respecting the establishment of religion" part of the First Amendment. This ignorance was on full display, on this morning's Fox & Friends during which Brian Kilmeade praised public school students who are defending their football coach from charges, from an evil atheist group, that he might be in violation of the Constitution when he leads Christian prayers before the game. Brian "all terrorists are Muslims" Kilmeade might have written a history book but he obviously doesn't know jack about the Constitution
