Got Hypocrisy? Steve Doocy & Peter Johnson Jr. Say President Wages "Class Warfare!!"
The reelection of Barack Obama was less than 24 hours old; but that didn't stop Fox & Friends from trotting out their right wing talking points and baseless accusations against the president which were cleverly worked into a piece about American "coming together" - a concept made laughable by the ongoing attempts of Fox News to divide this country along racial, ethnic, religious, and economic lines while accusing those that they attack of being divisive. This was demonstrated on yesterday's Fox & Friends where Roger Ailes' personal attorney, litigator for the NY Archdiocese and Knight Of Malta Peter Johnson Jr. and Roger Ailes' "attack poodle" Steve Doocy did exactly that in yet another example of how Fox & Friends is "the morning happy-talk show that Ailes uses as one of his primary vehicles to inject his venom into the media bloodstream."

Read moreBehind-The-Scenes Of Karl Rove's Hissy Fit Over Fox's Ohio Call
Gabriel Sherman has an interesting article about what went on behind the scenes last night when Karl Rove had a hissy fit over Fox News calling Ohio and the presidency for Barack Obama. It not only reveals how Fox adjudicated a dispute between a partisan operative and what appeared to be a legitimate news operation but also just how much partisan operating Karl Rove did during what was supposed to be neutral election coverage - and despite the fact that he is usually presented with the bland description of "political contributor" or "political analyst."

In the Fox News sour grapes, foreign policy department, Fox News contributor John Bolton (unidentified as an advisor to Mitt Romney) visited the Happening Now show to discuss, what host Jenna Lee uncritically quoted as his statement that "our adversaries are breathing a sigh of relief" over the re-election of President Obama. They both forgot to point out that our allies did, too.

Strictly speaking, Donald Trump isn't part of Fox News. But he's a favorite guest and always given credibility on almost any subject. So his unhinged reactions to President Obama's re-election belongs here, I think. Among other things, Trump tweeted, "We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty." Today, NBC's Brian Williams called out Trump as having "driven well past the last exit to relevance and peered into something closer to irresponsible here."
Read moreWill Bill O'Reilly & Fox Nation Report Anti-Obama Melee At Ole Miss?
Last month, Bill O'Reilly used a Move On video to warns his viewers of "threats from the far left" if President Obama did not win re-election. Last week, Fox Nation sourced from Michelle Malkin's twitter watch site (focused on tweets, supposedly from African Americans, that say bad things about white people) to inform its readers (?!) that black folks might be rioting in the event of an Obama defeat. Well, don't ya know that there was a bit of a post-election disturbance! But color me amazed because it wasn't perpetrated by hordes of dark skinned ruffians; but rather, 300 - 400 young white students who were just so upset about President Obama's victory that they took to the streets of the campus of the University of Mississippi to - er - protest. Suffice to say, things soon got a little heated. What say you, Bill O'Reilly and Fox Nation?
Read moreFox News Election Sour Grapes: Bill O'Reilly Racial Resentment Edition
It was pretty clear from the somber tones and joyless expressions on the faces of the Fox News pundits last night that at best Mitt Romney was not going to have a good night. But Bill O'Reilly may have outdone Karl Rove in the electoral spoilsport department when he suggested that minority welfare queens were the reason for President Obama's re-election.
