Harris Faulkner Suggests Campaign Strategy For Mitt Romney
Harris Faulkner didn’t just moderate a debate about strategies for reaching out to working voters, she made sure to insert pro-Romney and anti-Obama talking points into the discussion. But she didn’t stop there. She went so far as to note one of the “quite successful” tactics of Romney’s father’s presidential campaign (while displaying a pro-Romney campaign poster) and asking her pro-Romney guest, “Is this something that might work for Mitt Romney?”
Read moreHannity Goes On The Five To Smear OWS Protester And Boast About Working At Age 8
A few days ago, I posted about the unfair, imbalanced treatment Fox News gave to guest Harrison Schultz, when he appeared on Hannity to discuss the Occupy Wall Street movement. After bullying Schultz during their one-on-one, Sean Hannity got his three-person panel to pile on after Schultz had left the set and without anyone to take his side. Yesterday, The Five added to the pile-on when Hannity called in to further attack Schultz discuss his interview. Predictably, the four conservatives (including conservative-come-lately Kimberly Guilfoyle) fell over themselves trying to think of clever ways to make new smears of Schultz and the Occupy protests.
Read moreTavis Smiley Defuses Bill O’Reilly’s Loaded Interview about “Race-Based” Virginia Assault
Bill O’Reilly seems bent on bludgeoning his viewers with the story of an unprovoked assault by black teens on two white reporters in Norfolk, Virginia. He used the story on Wednesday to hammer the liberal media, and then on Thursday he brandished it at the Justice Department and Attorney General Holder as well. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t get a lot of support from his guest – in fact, he got the discussion pulled right out from under him.
Read moreRuh-Roh! Jehmu Greene Calls Tucker Carlson A “Bow-Tying White Boy”
On America Live, Megyn Kelly hosted a discussion about Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s supposedly questionable claim of Cherokee heritage - which was maybe then used by Harvard as an example of diversity hiring. It was a Fox News twofer: bash a Democratic candidate and affirmative action all in one segment. Fox News Democrat, Jehmu Greene, was obviously upset at conservative Tucker Carlson’s repeated suggestions that Warren only got her job because of some kind of fraudulent attempt at diversity. Greene said that kind of attack will “appeal to folks like you, voters like you, bow-tying white boys.” Uh-oh.

At the end of Special Report’s “All-Star” Panel Wednesday (5/2/12), panelist Charles Krauthammer ended with this sentence. “Jimmy Carter is the Republican(s') Herbert Hoover. The Democrats flogged Hoover for 30 years, we’ve got just about a few years left to go after Carter.”

“Objective” Fox News host Martha MacCallum inserted her seal of approval to Republican Congressman Darrell Issa yesterday during their discussion of possibly citing Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt.
Read moreRula Jebreal Confronts Fox News Over Attacks On Obama’s Foreign Policy
Kudos to journalist Rula Jebreal for challenging Fox News’ bias on Fox & Friends today. During a discussion on President Obama’s foreign policy and the killing of Osama Bin Laden, co-host Steve Doocy and Fox News contributor Angela McGlowan plus Obama-critic/Iraq War Cheerleader Fouad Ajami ran the gamut from – Surprise! Surprise! – skeptical to outright condemnatory of Obama. But Jebreal threw them off their talking points when she asked, “Why attack the man over something that actually benefits the American people? …Why attack him… only because you are Fox News. Let’s be honest about this.”
Read moreRomney Advisors Presented As Impartial Analysts On Fox News
John Bolton, Jay Sekulow and Walid Phares are all regular guests on Fox News, presented as analysts to discuss foreign affairs, legal issues and Middle East/terrorism issues, respectively. Yet what you rarely find out from the "we report, you decide" network is that each of these gentlemen are advisors to the Mitt Romney Campaign. Bolton and Phares are paid Fox News contributors.

Read moreHannity Debates Occupy Protester, Follows Up With Three Attacking Guests
Apparently, bullyboy Sean Hannity just couldn’t take a chance that his audience might not hate OWS protester Harrison Schultz. Because in the very next segment after what was billed as a “shoot out” between Hannity and Schultz, Hannity stacked his “Great American Panel” with three like-minded conservatives and all four of them spent the next five minutes trashing Schultz and the Occupy movement. UPDATED WITH VIDEO OF PANEL DISCUSSION.
