Bill O'Reilly Smears African-American 'Pinhead' Professor, Rants About Evil Rap Music - Again
Who better to discuss issues of importance to the African-American community than Bill O'Reilly! During Friday night's Factor, he skillfully interwove his disdain concern for black culture into the context of how, because he supports the president's initiative directed towards young black men, he's looking out for the black community. During the show, O'Reilly, who is amazed that blacks have table manners, used his bully pulpit, once again, to inveigh against the evils of rap music. The topic came up during his "Pinhead of the Week" segment which ended with the bestowing of a "pinhead" title on an African-American Princeton professor. And in so doing, O'Reilly loudly blew that "welfare" dog whistle. Black folks would do so much better if they only listened to O'Reilly's sage advice. Ya think!
Read moreFox Hypes Sarah Palin’s Phony Prediction Of Russia Invading Ukraine
As part of Fox’s enthusiastic exploitation of the crisis in Ukraine as a political weapon against President Obama, the Hannity show trotted out Sarah Palin tonight to talk up her “prediction” in 2008 that Russia would invade Ukraine. No, she didn’t see it from her house but on a teleprompter. And, of course, the whole thing was little more than an excuse for yet another Obama bashing session
Read moreFox Blames Ukraine Crisis On Obama
Anybody want to bet that as soon as Fox News heard about the latest crisis in Ukraine, they began to look for ways to blame Obama? If you don’t think so, check out this “fair and balanced” discussion in which the host asked loaded questions, the two Fox “Democrats” responded like Pavlov’s dogs and a Republican extremist suggested the whole thing might have been avoided if only Ronald Reagan were still president.
Read moreSteve Doocy Wrong: Matthew McConaughey Not First God Praising Oscar Winner
While the curvy couch Christians on Fox & Friends clearly have issues with lots of folks not on Roger Ailes' A-list, they love, really love God. This morning, during a recap of the Oscars, Fox friend and MENSA member (just kidding) Steve Doocy was positively effusive in his praise for Matthew McConaughey who, during his acceptance speech for his Best Actor award, praised God. Doocy made the claim that nobody -evah - had done that before. Once again, and for the second time in this morning's show, Fox & Friends messed up. But didn't Fox claim, back in 2009, that they had "zero tolerance" for this kind of nonsense?
Read moreFox & Friends Messes Up Film Title For 'Twelve Years A Slave'
Fox News isn't exactly known for its sensitivity regarding race issues. And while one would expect that those Fox fans, who want to take their country back from angry black men and lazy black "takers," would probably not be rooting for "Twelve Years a Slave" to win an Oscar, one would expect that they are at least aware of it. That doesn't seem to be the case for those who do the graphics for Fox & Friends who changed the title of "Twelve Years a Slave" to "Twelve Years of Slave" - a title which Fox friend and wall of genius Steve Doocy changed to "twelve years of a slave." I know that there has been snow in the Big Apple; but at Fox News, there seems to be a total white-out?!

What a coincidence that Neil Cavuto’s lapdog interview with Governor Rick Snyder (R-MI) should occur just as Snyder’s re-election poll numbers have tightened. Also, with the final outcome quite possibly depending on voter turnout, Cavuto did his best to help Snyder get his re-election talking points out – while ignoring some important statistics that don’t make Snyder look so good.

On February 14, Fox & Friends mocked Facebook for widening its choice of gender options to include “transgender” and “cisgender.” That was to be expected. What was a big surprise was the sincere and thoughtful apology made by host Clayton Morris yesterday.
Read more'Fair & Balanced' Martha MacCallum Advances Benghazi Lie
How important is the right wing Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi Hillary-Clinton-Lied-About Benghazi conspiracy to Fox News? So important that it was worked into a segment, done on the allegedly "fair & balanced" "news" show America's Newsroom, which was only tangentially related to l'affaire Benghazi. Pretty slick, eh?
