Fox & Friends Guest Says Men Treated Unfairly By Selfish Women
Move over persecuted Christians. There are some new victims in Fox town. In response to women's empowerment, a movement has emerged which seeks to empower men to put those uppity bitches in their place. The "men's rights" movement is a backlash against changing gender roles and norms which threaten traditional masculinity. So it's not surprising that Fox's morning show that champions "traditional" values would, last week, interview a female clinician who champions men's rights. Funny, when Sandra Fluke spoke out against the discriminatory practices of employers who refuse to provide contraceptive coverage, Fox talkers accused her of being a "poster child for whiny entitlement." But when a clinician advances the whine that men are a bunch of underachieving schlubs "checking out of society" because of uppity bitches, it's all good...Oh, and Brian Kilmeade is upset that men are portrayed, on TV, as idiots. Oh, the irony!
Read moreFacebook Kerfuffle Todd Starnes’ Latest Excuse To Play The Conservative Christian Victim
Poor, persecuted Christian Todd Starnes (who almost certainly makes a very nice living with despite his victimhood) has a new excuse to drum up fear and loathing against anyone slightly to the left of his views – which, by his own admission is most of America. The reason this time? Facebook temporarily removed one of his posts before reinstating it with an apology. That was all the reason Starnes needed to initiate a pity party on the curvy couch of Fox & Friends this morning.
Read moreFox News Hosts Decide Zimmerman Trial Is Over
As I posted a few days ago, Fox News has dispensed with the need for a jury because they already “know” George Zimmerman is not guilty. On Friday (6/28/13), one week into what is expected to be a two to four week trial, no less than three Fox News hosts announced that the verdict is in: Zimmerman not guilty. Sean Hannity, a college drop out, announced, “As far as I’m concerned, this case is over today.”

Read moreBill Cunningham Edges Out Sean Hannity As Last Week's Most Outrageous Quote
Last week's results of our Fox News Most Outrageous Quote Of The Week poll was very close but Fox regular Bill Cunningham eked out a "victory" with his sexist attack on his fellow guest, Tamara Holder, telling her to "know your place and shut your mouth." More results after the jump.
Read moreTucker Carlson Insults The Episcopal Church
Famous "dick," gay basher, and Fox News host and contributor Tucker Carlson was baptized in the Episcopal Church and married the daughter of an Episcopal priest. But he eventually realized that God hates fags, women priests, and abortion. So being the morally superior person that he is, he left the historic Falls Church Episcopal Church and joined an Anglican Church whose beliefs dovetail nicely with those of fundamentalist Christians and the Catholic Church, both of which receive pride of place at the "fair & balanced" Fox News. Being the morally superior person that he is, Carlson, during a February Fox & Friends, insulted Wiccans because they, allegedly, hate Christians. On last week's Fox & Friends, in validating an anti-abortion priest's attack on Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Carlson insulted the Episcopal Church because, according to the morally superior Carlson, it "loves abortion." This, of course, is a lie but when has the truth ever been important for Fox's morning propaganda and very Christian chat show, Fox & Friends!
Read moreFox News, We’ve Got Your Mail
Either Fox News viewers had a lot more to say last week or else they got more ignorant. But for whatever reason, there was a significant uptick in the number of emails their viewers sent to us in the ridiculously mistaken belief that we’re Fox News. Click past the jump for a select batch.
Read moreChris Plante Attacks Librarians For Helping People Get Information About Obamacare
As AP reports, 17,000 American libraries are being recruited to help patrons access information and computer time related to signing up for Obamacare. But on Fox News, guest Chris Plante (with a little help from host Martha MacCallum), likened this program to help Americans make informed choices and get health insurance to North Korea. Even worse, he called the librarians who are participating, “creepy little East German(s)” propagandizing “our children.” (h/t Media Matters)
Read moreMegyn Kelly Goes To Bat For Texas Republicans And Their Restrictive Abortion Bill
Megyn Kelly joined her Fox News colleagues Bret Baier and Laura Ingraham a few days ago (6/26/13) in doing her part to promote Texas’ anti-choice bill that was successfully filibustered by state senator Wendy Davis. Davis became a Democratic star this week for her efforts in defeating the bill – while Republicans tried to overcome her actions by improperly timestamping the bill to make it look as though it had passed before a midnight deadline. But Megyn Kelly and her two like-minded guests were so busy talking up the bill – and knocking President Obama for supporting Davis – that they “forgot” all about the Republicans’ misdeeds.
Read moreSen. Rand Paul’s Ridiculous Answer About How To Handle Russia
Senator Rand Paul may be considering a run for president but he’ll probably need to bone up a wee bit more on foreign policy if he wants to stand a chance. On last night’s O’Reilly Factor, Paul was obviously clueless when guest host Laura Ingraham asked him how a “President Paul” would deal with Russia.
