Fox & Friends Spin Iran Nuclear Deal As A 'Distraction' From ObamaCare
Fox & Friends and Fox & Friends First were in lockstep with Republican leaders in sneering at President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran. Each show suggested this morning that the deal with Iran was an effort to distract from his Affordable Care Act ("ObamaCare") woes. Even though just yesterday, Fox's own Chris Wallace and Republican guest Senator Bob Corker, noted that diplomatic efforts have been underway for months.

In a discussion yesterday entitled, “White House backtracks on ObamaCare pledge,” Adam Lashinsky was the lone defender of the Affordable Care Act. Neil Cavuto told Adam Lashinsky, “You know, I tell you what, you would be the guy who, the next day after the Titanic sinks is, 'All right, well you know, half of us made it.' …It’s ridiculous.”
Read moreSarah Palin Doubles Down On Comparing Federal Debt To Human Slavery
Sarah Palin and Fox News are still polishing up her Martin Bashir/MSNBC martyr’s halo. Today, on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace called Palin’s remark comparing the federal debt to human slavery “fairly unobjectionable” while prodding Palin to attack Bashir for his over-the-top response suggesting she undergo one of slavery’s punishments – eating feces. Palin pretended to accept Bashir’s apology, but she unapologetically repeated her “slavery” analogy. There was no challenge from Wallace.
Read moreMegyn Kelly's 'Pledge Of Allegiance' Controversy Fizzles!
For Fox News, the Pledge of Allegiance, along with the cross of Jesus (on public property) and the American Flag, has taken on a cultic, religious significance and any attempt to curtail it (especially the "under God" part) is considered an affront to the foundations of America. Fox host Dana Perino even said that if you don't love the pledge you should leave the country. Fox's "patriotism" is laughable given that it uses these "outrages" to attack other Americans and further sow the seeds of national division which, after a recent "Kelly File," even elicited some patriotic death threats. Earlier this month, Megyn Kelly and Trace Gallagher reported that Sioux Falls South Dakota veterans are livid because a local high school has dropped the Pledge. The school board, which subsequently got death threats, claims that Kelly's show misrepresented the case and want an apology. On Friday, Kelly didn't apologize and was all set for more agitprop (the school board hates vets) when her plans went awry.

Read moreWe didn't get as many emails for Fox News as usual this week. But I think the ones we did get are worth sharing. This week, we got two complaints about Juan Williams, one about Martin Bashir and one about that old standby, ObamaCare. As always, names and other identifying information have been redacted. Grammar, spelling and punctuation have been left intact.
Megyn Kelly Exploits JFK Assassination To Smear Liberals
The Kelly File commemorated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy last night in typical Fox News fashion: by using it to advance its anti-liberal agenda. Just like Chris Wallace did last weekend, Megyn Kelly apparently thought it was extremely important – perhaps the most important fact – for Fox viewers to know that Kennedy was killed by a communist. As I have previously noted, on Fox, “communist” is synonymous with “liberal.” Then Kelly further used that “news” to suggest that liberals were engaging in some kind of cover up in order to avoid responsibility and blame conservatives.
Read moreKimberly Guilfoyle Wins Our Most Outrageous Quote Poll
Kimberly Guilfoyle won our Fox News Outrageous Quote of the Week poll this week by a landslide. The outrageousness of her quote mostly lay in its unintentional irony. Guilfoyle turned a blind eye to the 24/7 divisiveness of Fox News in order to "ask": “(I)s (Obama) the worst president ever? He’s certainly the most destructive president we’ve had in terms of tearing apart this country and all of the freedoms that we have fought for."
Read moreMegyn Kelly Tries To Shame Humanist Involved In Church/State Issue
If Megyn Kelly thinks that she is a "moderate and reasonable" TV host, she is either in a state of denial or just plain lying. That her claim is as bogus as Fox's claim to be "fair & balanced" was underscored, last night, in a segment clearly designed to promote Fox News' Christian agenda which, of course, includes, promoting disdain for anybody that dares to fight back against Christian incursion into the taxpayer funded public square. Not surprisingly, she provided TV exposure for Todd Starnes latest faux outrage about how after humanist group threatened to sue two taxpayer funded schools for their participation in a toy drive for Operation Christmas Child which is run by - wait for it - Fox fave Franklin Graham, the schools withdrew their support. As I reported, the toy drive is a form of proselytization. But rather than discuss the constitutional issues regarding a public school supporting a Christian ministry, Kelly, in diverting the conversation, badgered her guest with suggestions that he and his group are big, bad meanies who would keep kids from getting toys. Just when you think that Kelly can't go any lower...
Read moreFox’s Andrew Napolitano: Abolish ObamaCare, Social Security, Medicare And Medicaid!
On Wednesday’s Special Report, the so-called All-Star Panel discussed solutions for ObamaCare. That is, until Judge Andrew Napolitano Judge got his turn. He not only wanted to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, he argued for gutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid at the same time.
Read moreOMG - Fox & Friends Is Waging War On Christmas?!
Paging Bill O'Reilly! Red and green alert!! Christmas blasphemy has been committed and it's not the evil secular atheists who have perpetrated this egregious violation of the Fox News commandment that thou shall never say the evil, secular word "holiday" instead of Christmas. This outrage is being perpetrated by - OMG - Fox & Friends, a show which, recently, warmly endorsed Sarah Palin's book about the war on Christmas. Christmas warriors everywhere should be very offended about "Tips to Create a Holiday Spending Plan." And what makes it worse is that Elisabeth said the dreaded word. Oh, no....
