Fox Calls Westboro Baptist Church A 'Left-Wing Cult'
Although Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church is famous for picketing funerals because "God hates fags," for some reason Fox Nation has decided to call them a "left-wing cult." And did you know that Phelps is a Democrat? In Fox Nation he is. (H/T/ Aria) UPDATED
Read moreCongresswoman Credits Fox For Release Of American Prisoner In Mexico
In case you don’t believe me that Fox News crossed the line of whatever journalistic integrity they ever had and into blatant advocacy, maybe you’ll believe Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen when she specifically credited Fox News over the release of ex-Marine Jon Hammar, imprisoned in Mexico for illegally bringing a gun into the country. In her own words, Ros-Lehtinen said, “You guys saved his life. I mean, literally.”
Read moreSen. Barrasso: President Obama ‘Eager’ To Go Over Fiscal Cliff For Political Purposes
Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) visited Fox News Sunday yesterday where he announced – twice – that President Obama is “eager” to go over the fiscal cliff because he thinks it would enable him to raise taxes and be an all-around political plus. It’s a rather outrageous accusation – yet nobody challenged him on it. Not host Chris Wallace, who otherwise did a decent job moderating the discussion, and not the Democratic guest, Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND).
Read moreGretchen Carlson Gushes Over Fr. Jonathan Morris' Self Promoting Christmas Story
While Fox News claims to be "America's Newsroom," the America it represents is very different. The America outside Fox News is religiously diverse, with a growing number of people identifying as "not affiliated." But Fox News' religious perspective is mainly conservative Christian with the majority of the commentary coming from Fr. Jonathan Morris, a former member of the disgraced Legion of Christ, who, unlike other religious contributors, makes frequent appearances on Fox Business and Fox News where he has a weekly gig on Fox & Friends. During the aftermath of the Newtown shooting, his baby face was an ongoing feature of the coverage. In addition to being a loyal mouthpiece for right wing talking points, Morris also provides "inspiration" for the audience such as this morning when he talked about the "meaning of Christmas" which was, of course, a very Catholic Christmas and a very Fr. Jonathan Christmas.
Read moreJuan Williams Tells Fox News Sunday Benghazi Is Long ‘Dead And Over’
As I posted earlier today, Fox & Friends tried to revive Benghazi-Gate by hyping Sen. James Inhofe’s ridiculous claim that Benghazi is “probably the greatest cover-up in my memory.” Later, on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace brought up the recent State Department investigation which “laid the blame at the Assistant Secretary level, not at the level of Secretary of State Clinton” and asked his panel if the controversy is “effectively over.”
Read moreThe Five Grouse About Obama's Remarks Interrupting Perino At A Rodeo
On Friday’s The Five (12/21/12), a segment featuring Dana Perino at a rodeo was interrupted by President Obama speaking on the fiscal cliff. Greg Gutfeld sneered, "So, basically, we're going to preempt Dana Perino's rodeo package for President Obama."
Read moreMegyn Kelly Is Part Of War On Christmas?!
Paging Father Christmas Bill O'Reilly, STAT! There has been a most grievous Christmas transgression by Megyn Kelly. Despite O'Reilly's proscription on using the word "holiday" rather than Christmas, Ms. Kelly's "Kelly's Court" segment was about, OMG (cover your eyes Baby Jesus) "Legal Lessons For Holiday Hosts If Party Guests Get Too Merry" - a chyron that was up for the entire segment. To make matters worse, Ms. Kelly, OMG (cover your ears Baby Jesus) actually uttered that obscene word "holiday." Is Megyn Kelly one of the nasty "secular-progressive" who are trying to ruin Christmas? What say you Bill O'Reilly?
Read moreVan Susteren Not Happy About Fox News' Snarky Comments About Hillary Clinton's Concussion
Not long ago, we posted about John Bolton's sneering accusation that Hillary Clinton was lying about having a concussion in order to get out of having to testify about Benghazi. And he was far from the only one on Fox News. Bolton made his jab on On The Record. At the time, host Greta Van Susteren fired back. But she also took to her Fox News blog, GretaWire to explicitly disagree with her other Fox News colleagues.

It has now been 1340 days, or three years and eight months, since Sean Hannity said, on April 22, 2009, he'd undergo waterboarding to prove it's not torture - and do it to raise money for charity. Time to man up, Sean, to borrow one of you favorite phrases and either fulfill your promise or explain why you haven't.
Read moreFox & Friends Jolly Santa Is A Potty Mouthed Ladies Man?
Earlier this week, "Santa" (aka Sal Lizard) visited the happy Christmas curvy couch crew, on Fox & Friends, to discuss his new book about the "true meaning of Christmas" which, for Santa, is all about fighting Christmas "political correctness"- something that he has in common with Christmas warrior queen, Gretchen Carlson. During the interview Steve Doocy said that "We know that you love the spirit of Christmas throughout the year." Well, unbeknownst to Doocy, Mr. Lizard (who also does a "Vampire Santa") loves not just Christmas, but ladies, too. In the Christmas spirit, Lizard, who describes himself as a "dirty old man," and "pleaser of women," knows that if those ladies don't leave Santa cookies, he will "eat their pie." He also urges women to sit on his lap cuz he'll "be there" for them. Too bad jolly Santa didn't extend that invite to Gretch. She loves Christmas so who knows, she might have enjoyed it!
