Wallace Pressures Pelosi: Tell Your ‘Liberal Friends’ In Hollywood To ‘Knock Off’ The Violence
As many here at News Hounds probably know, Nancy Pelosi is proposing a budget for a scientific study into how large a role pop culture plays in violence. If you want my opinion, this is a great idea, because it can give us much needed insight into both the mental health issue and how much (if any) of a role movies and video games play. Unfortunately, on today's Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace didn’t just question the need for such a study, he more or less told her to ditch it and start pressuring her “liberal friends” in Hollywood to, as he put it, “knock it off.”

There are numerous Christian denominations in the US. But the only Sunday preaching on Fox "News" is from Fr. Jonathan Morris, a Catholic priest who is a former high ranking member of a disgraced Catholic order whose leader pandered to the rich and famous while sexually abusing seminarians and fathering children out of wedlock. As the special and one true Fox priest, Morris promotes right wing propaganda especially that which is in synch with the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, headed by Fox fave Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Today, Morris spoke about his "Lent Challenge 2013" which is his methodology to get right in "body, mind, and soul." He even suggested that non-Christians participate. Really?

Nancy Pelosi was a guest on Fox News Sunday today. During the interview, Chris Wallace asked what may be the mother of all “Cavuto Marks” of a question. Pelosi gave as good as she got.
Read moreSean Hannity Airs Deceptively Edited Video Of Leon Panetta's Benghazi Testimony
Just because Sean Hannity is outraged over deceptive editing by other media outlets is no reason not to engage in that practice himself! How else to explain his "major bombshell" about President Obama being "virtually absent" during the Benghazi attack? And "forgetting" to air the testimony of General Martin Dempsey who made a point of correcting the record to say that the staff was engaged in the way it "normally" works.
Read moreBill O'Reilly, Hate Speech, & Dr. Tiller
Bill O'Reilly claims that "rules of civility are pretty much finished." But in December, when an African-American sports writer, who accused the NRA of being like the KKK, refused to appear on O'Reilly's show, O'Reilly accused him of promoting hate speech. He claimed that Jason Whitlock, who accurately described O'Reilly as a "TV entertainer" who is "crying about the end of white establishment America," is "using base emotion to try to injure people." The next evening, O'Reilly called out those in the media who use hate speech which he described as "speech designed to marginalize and harm an adversary, business rival or someone else the hater doesn't like." He added that those who use hate speech "want onlookers to join you in harming the person you're defaming" and that hate speech is about "inciting bad feelings against another human being." Obviously, by his own standards, Bill O'Reilly used hate speech when he defamed Dr. George Tiller whom he is still defaming. Never mind irony, got hypocrisy!
Read moreSean Hannity Once Again Uses LAPD Cop-Killer Suspect To Dishonestly Smear Liberals
Apparently, Sean Hannity found his deceptive exploitation of the California cop-killer manhunt so nice that he did it twice (so far). Last night, Hannity trotted out Tucker Carlson and Kirsten Powers for a bogus depiction of suspect Christopher Dorner as a Democrat followed by a kangaroo-court style verdict that adjudged the left as the guilty party.
Read moreOops! Fox News Uses Lesbian Couple To Illustrate Traditional Marriage
Our old pal Suzanne Venker is back on FoxNews.com – still trashing feminism and demanding a return to the values of traditional marriage. But the last laugh’s on her because somehow her picture of traditional wedded bliss was – wait for it – two women who were the first same-sex couple to be married at the Empire State Building.
Read moreTrust In Fox News Sinks Along With Its Ratings
More bad news for Fox: A recent PPP poll found that the public's trust in the network has sunk to a new low. Except among Republicans. Their confidence in the "fair and balanced" network is so strong that Fox came out as both the least trusted and most trusted network.
Read moreAbout Bill O’Reilly And NBC’s Coverage Of The Drones…
This week, there was an internet kerfuffle over Bill O’Reilly’s statement that he hasn’t heard “anything” over at NBC about President Obama’s controversial drone policy. In fact, NBC News broke the story. Last night, O’Reilly addressed the matter in his “Tip of the Day” segment – by arguing that he had been referring to NBC analysis, not news. And you know what? I agree with him. I saw the original segment and although what he literally said was incorrect, I thought his meaning was clear within the context of the discussion. But, as my grandmother used to say in situations like this, O’Reilly started out in the right but his handling of it put him in the wrong.
