Faux Fox Controversy Of The Day: Al Gore Sold Current TV To Al Jazeera
In case you missed it, Fox Newsies could not stop clutching their pearls over the news that Al Gore's Current TV had been sold to Al Jazeera. Supposedly this just verifies their accusations that Gore is Un-American (or else he wouldn't have sold to that America-hating network) and a hypocrite because a) Al Jazeera is based in oil-rich Qatar and b) he reportedly tried to close the deal by the end of the year in order to save tax money.

File this one under truth is stranger than fiction. Fox News psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow - he of the crackpot, unprofessional and homophobic diagnoses - is considering running for the U.S. Senate in - get this - Massachusetts. As a Republican, of course.
Read moreU.S. State Department Mocks Fox News Producer For Questioning Hillary Clinton's Concussion
Philippe Reines, a U.S. State Department spokesman, sent a mocking email to Fox News producer/correspondent Justin Fishel for suggesting Hillary Clinton was not too ill from her concussion to testify about Benghazi before Congress. It's a devastating put down - and with a sense of humor.
Read moreKirsten Powers Calls Out 'Democrats Want Free Stuff' Rhetoric
Three cheers for Kirsten Powers for not sitting quietly by as a Republican debate opponent made the kinds of smears and jeers of the left that are commonplace on Fox. Powers is not exactly the strongest advocate for the left on Fox but she's often willing to do what others who are supposedly further left will not - and that is call out right-wing baloney when she sees it.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Outraged That New York Paper Targeted By Fox Hired Armed Guards
In case you missed it, there’s a small newspaper in upstate New York that published the names and locations of gun owners in its vicinity. The result has been a nearly non-stop vilification by Fox News. Now, as the paper faces the predictable threats as a result, Fox is vilifying the paper for hiring armed guards, as if that were some kind of unwarranted act of hypocrisy.
Read moreSteve Doocy Tells Historical Whopper During DAR Hit Piece!
There should be no question as to why Fox News viewers are not well informed. For example, on this morning's Fox & Friends, we were treated to a Steve Doocy comment which was made during his chat with Todd Starnes about how, based on anonymous sources, the Daughters of the American Revolution have abandoned Jesus. While it's quite possible that Doocy didn't really know the information, the fact that it seems to dovetail with the Christian right's bogus, revisionist historical claim that America was founded as a Christian nation makes one wonder if it was part of the script - an ongoing script that is a reflection of Roger Ailes' fear and loathing of secularism. So while we don't know if Steve Doocy is an idiot or plays one on TV, we do know that the only place where Doocy got this morning's goody- American revolutionaries "put In God We Trust" on "our money and our walls" - was from his ass!
Read moreCavuto Defends Boehner Cursing Out Reid
Don’t you just know that if Senator Harry Reid had said, “Go f*** yourself” to House Speaker John Boehner, we’d be hearing about it for days, if not weeks or months, on Fox News? They'd be hammering President Obama and every Democrat on Fox to condemn the language. But not only has Fox News not criticized Boehner for cursing out Reid, the “fair and balanced” Neil Cavuto all but endorsed the Speaker’s potty mouth.

While John Bolton has refused to apologize for accusing Hillary Clinton of faking her concussion, Alan Colmes deserves props for calling on colleague Bolton and FNC fave Allen West to apologize.
Read moreOMG! Steve Doocy & Todd Starnes Say DAR Is Going Godless!!!!!
It's 2013 and Jesus' very own morning show, Fox & Friends, is starting the New Year off right by promoting - you guessed it - persecuted Christians. In fulfilling its duty as a mouthpiece for the church of the perpetually aggrieved Christians, Fox & Friends is always on the alert for examples of what they actually believe is an actual "war on Christians." And who better to join the curvy couch Christian crusade than Fox Radio's "fundamentalist barking dog," and gay pride parade couture observer Todd Starnes who is always on the alert for grievances against his fellow Jesus BFF's such as when a "Christian Baker Faces Boycott For Refusing To Make Lesbian Cake." (Hmm, Angel or Devil's Food?!) This morning, on Fox & Friends, culture clubber Todd broke a shocking exposé, based solely on anonymous sources and also featured on Fox Nation, about how the Daughters of the American Revolution will no longer be praying in Jesus' name - OMG!!!
Read moreCivil Rights Attorney Fed Up With Hannity's Obsession With O.J. Simpson
Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell was back on the Hannity show last night for a discussion about a New York newspaper publishing the identities of gun owners in its vicinity. But instead of just allowing Terrell to debate his position, Sean Hannity just happened to gratuitously mention that Terrell "was friends with O.J. Simpson." Again. Terrell, who has faced this smear several other times, put his hands over his ears, effectively ending his part of the discussion.
