Andrea Tantaros' Benghazi-fication Of Missing Plane Wins Our Most Outrageous Quote Poll
Our readers saw right through Andrea Tantaros' faux sympathy for the families of the missing Malaysian plane passengers - which just happened to remind her of the families of the Benghazi victims. Not only that, our readers voted Tantaros' comments the Fox News Outrageous Quote of the Week last week.

Bill O’Reilly has never looked more bigoted than in his ugly and now uglier racial attacks on Congresswoman Barbara Lee. His maliciously grim determination to smear Lee as a “race hustler” says more about him than anything about her.
Read moreAndrea Tantaros Says No Free Slut Pills For You!
In an effort to counteract policies which contravene "traditional values," the religious right is fighting back under the rubric of "religious freedom." In bizarro Christian right wing world, this is the freedom to use their bible and their god to justify denying services to gays and reproductive rights for women who now, thanks to the ACA, have access to free contraceptives - access that is being opposed by so called Christian businesses like Hobby Lobby who feel that this mandate violates their religious freedom - an argument frequently heard, on Fox News in their validation for the Catholic bishops' opposition to the law. But there's another uglier argument which seems related to the Christian right's skewed sexual views; i.e. that "we" shouldn't have to pay for slutty women to have non-procreative sex. While it was bad enough when Limbaugh articulated it, it was even worse when Fox's "leg chair" gal, Andrea Tantaros pretty much said the same thing.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Interviews ‘Exonerated’ Chris Christie – And Tries To Make Obama The Real Culprit
Megyn Kelly threw a few real questions into her interview with Gov. Chris Christie last night. But she didn’t need to put on a “Vote Republican!” button for viewers to easily see which side she was on. Especially considering that she failed to ask Christie the single most important question surrounding his Bridgegate scandal – yet spent a considerable amount of time suggesting that President Obama is much guiltier.
Read moreHannity Cites His Seminary Background During 'Noah' Bashfest!
Despite the toxic verbal sludge, directed against those who don't meet his high standards of right wing orthodoxy, Sean Hannity, like fellow Fox Catholic alpha-male Bill O'Reilly, frequently invokes his devout Catholicism. Last night, during yet another Fox segment bashing the godless movie "Noah," Hannity referenced his seminary background and theology acumen for extra added effect. Like Bill O'Reilly, Hannity is a legend in his own mind

If Chris Wallace’s commentary immediately after Gov. Chris Christie’s news conference was any guide, he is not out of the doghouse with the GOP or Fox News just yet.

Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera found yet another opportunity to gratuitously race bait this morning on Fox & Friends. Predictably, not one of the hosts – who had just been crying about media bias – objected.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Interviews Christie Investigator But Fails To Ask Key Question
The handpicked lawyer who just absolved Gov. Chris Christie of any wrongdoing in the Bridgegate scandal appeared on The Kelly File tonight. But while attorney Randy Mastro repeatedly told host Megyn Kelly Christie did not know of the scheme to shut down traffic lanes on the George Washington Bridge “beforehand,” he never said when Christie did know. Even worse, Kelly never asked.
Read moreMegyn Kelly, Rick Santorum Distort Presidential Papal Visit To Attack Pres. Obama
As the media mouthpiece for the conservative Catholic bishops, Fox News has provided them with full support for their opposition to the HHS birth control mandate. In promoting the bishop's argument, Fox has also advanced the Catholic right's myth that Obama hates Catholics and is waging a "holy war" against them. (Fox does love its martyrs!) And while the Catholic right hates the President, they haven't warmed up to the new pope whose commie views on social justice don't quite coincide with the Catholic right's obsession with abortion, marriage equality, and screwing the poor. Thus, today's meeting between the President and Pope Francis presents, for Fox, a bit of a conundrum as it would appear that the Pope didn't excoriate Obama for his sinful ways. But leave it to Megyn Kelly to distort what appears to have been an amicable and enlightened discussion and turn it into a bash Obamafest. And "truth detector" Kelly, once again, showed us that she is anything but!
Read moreFox & Friends Pimps Anti-Obama 'Constitutional Madness' For Six Days In A Row
Hitler wrote that "effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare necessities and then must be expressed in a few stereotyped formulas" which should be repeated, for “only constant repetition will finally succeed in imprinting an idea upon the memory of a crowd.” It would appear that Fox has adapted this strategy in its use of basic right wing memes that are repeated through several shows. Usually, the propaganda cycle lasts one or two days at most. But not for Fox & Friends which, when it gets some real juicy stuff, latches onto it like white on Fox News hosts. Several years ago, it ran a series, over the course of several months, which featured a right wing college professor who excoriated "liberal bias" in school texts. Their newest meme is the "bracket" system, created by a GOP Senate candidate, which purports to show constitutional violations by the "lawless" Obama administration. Today marks the 6th day of morning mirth.
