Despite its claim to be a website for "those opposed to intolerance," Fox News' "Fox Nation" blog is a veritable sewer of racist, homophobic, and sexist comments on threads deliberately calibrated to elicit those types of responses which include the occasional death threat directed toward the president. Meanwhile, whenever Bill Maher (Dubbed "Pig Maher" by Fox Nation writers) makes a rude comment about Republican women, there are howls of outrage. But this same concern about rudeness doesn't seem to apply to a comment, 21 hours old, on a thread which advances the right wing meme of Michelle Obama "breaking the rules" at the recent presidential debate. The website for those who "oppose intolerance" still features, among the other racist attacks, "Railroadearth's" belief that the First Lady of the US is a "dispicable cunt." Nice.

Dennis Miller visited The O’Reilly Factor last night for what amounted to an infomercial about Miller hitting the road to campaign for Mitt Romney. But near the end, Miller and Bill O’Reilly started joshing about a poll that found Americans would prefer President Obama, by a wide margin, to babysit their child than Mitt Romney. 

The Fox News website has a new front page feature. Every day, there is a secondary lede titled, in bold red letters,"Bias Alert" which consists of articles about how the evil, librul media is engaging in bias when, of course, the "fair & balanced" Fox News network would never, evah do such a thing. Right?! But the fact that a number of the articles, written by writers from the spectacularly biased, right wing Media Research Center headed by the spectacularly biased, right wing Brent Bozell, would seem to indicate otherwise. Fox's own writers do contribute to the efforts towards ferreting out this so called "bias" - such as yesterday's article, sourced from Bozell's "Newsbusters" website, about Chris Matthews' statement that Romney's abortion position is similar to Sharia Law. Oh, the humanity. But, interestingly, those employed at the "fair & balanced" "news" network have also engaged in the same kind of hyperbole.

Fox Nation has a post called, Michelle Obama Broke Debate Rules, referring to Mrs. Obama supposedly being caught clapping on camera (along with a lot of others but they were outside the "participating debate audience") when moderator Candy Crowley agreed with President Obama that he had called the Benghazi attack a terror attack the day after it happened. As Media Matters noted, Fox's concern for breaking with debate rules is rather selective and ignored Mitt Romney's breaches when he badgered President Obama. Fox Nation readers didn't seem to care either. They used the accusation against Michelle Obama as yet another opportunity to break out the racist comments. The ones we found were more than seven hours old (found last night, about 9 PM ET). So surely the moderators had a chance to have found and removed them. (H/T J.L.)

Right now, at about 10:33 PM ET, 66.44% of respondents think President Obama won, 33.56% think Romney won. I haven't heard anything about this on the Fox News Channel, have you? (H/T Nikki C.)

Democrat Bernard Whitman struck a nerve with Megyn Kelly today during a Fox News focus group convened to attack discuss Candy Crowley’s role as moderator of the presidential debate last night. Whitman said, “It’s sort of amazing that in the face of a relatively poor performance by Romney, all we’re talking about is the moderator, Candy Crowley. That sort of underscores…” Kelly cut him off.

Megyn Kelly hosted Mitt Romney’s former lieutenant governor, a woman and a Romney surrogate, to help rehab explain Mitt Romney’s “binders full of women” comment that sparked what even Kelly acknowledged was a “firestorm” on the internet. But Kelly either deliberately ignored or somehow missed that her guest contradicted Romney’s own story about his concern for putting women in his cabinet. She also accepted without question the dubious claim that women made up 50% of Romney’s cabinet. (H/T Jim M.)

Think Progress did the math so we didn't have to. It was none other than "objective" Megyn Kelly who started the spin.

While two polls and most Democrats seem to agree that President handily won the debate tonight, Sean Hannity thought otherwise. And, surprise, surprise! He dissembled in making his point.
