Apparently, some school brazenly tried to propagandize its students with a distributive algebra problem about distributing wealth. But have no fear, Fox-fan parents. Eric Bolling is uncovered and brought to light this indecency yesterday on The Five.

Fox News enemy of the week (or is it month?): Al Gore. Not counting President Obama, of course. But he's president. Gore, on the other hand, never will be. Still, the Gore smearing just goes on and on. Last night, Bill O'Reilly - who often decries hate speech from the left - couldn't have gone much lower as he and Geraldo Rivera joked about throwing chairs at Gore and then later countenanced Dennis Miller's fat jokes.

Although America's Newsroom is officially part of the official Fox "news" block, its blatant promotion and validation of right wing talking points are straight out of official Fox "opinion" shows which are, according to the Fox brass, exempt from the "Fair & Balanced" part of Fox's official motto. And when Fox "opinion" starts the day with a right wing meme, America's Newsroom frequently follows up. Tuesday, Laura Ingraham appeared on Fox & Friends to advance the newest "pro-life" outrage over Planned Parenthood's revenues from taxpayers which, according to Ingraham, could be funding abortions - a violation of the Hyde Amendment. Later, alleged news host Martha MacCallum, on America's Newsroom, picked up on the meme during her interview with the right wing Jonah Goldberg who validated the offensive anti-choice lies. While Fox doesn't care about taxpayers' monies spent on wars, big energy, and tax breaks for business, the lesson here is that Planned Parenthood is ripping us off!

Bill O'Reilly's "investigation" into Hawaii's social problems seemed ready made for the Stephen Colbert treatment. And last night, Colbert obliged!

Now that Breitbart acolyte Ben Shapiro’s Obama “race” and “radical” bombshells have – well, bombed – it appears that Shapiro has turned his America-hating hostilities into a book. And just as Sean Hannity gave Shapiro a friendly, unquestioning, credible airing for the ridiculous 1990 Obama-hug video, so was Shapiro welcomed on last night’s Hannity where he made the ridiculous claim that the right has been silenced by the left - and then urged his side to start fighting and ignore the Geneva Conventions. While demonstrating a breathtaking ignorance about what those Conventions say.

As the mouthpiece for those who seek to move the clock back to the days of back alley abortions, Fox News provides a willing conduit for their campaign to destroy Planned Parenthood, an organization that provides health care, which includes safe and legal abortions, for millions of low income women. Whatever outrage is all the rage in the anti-choice community soon becomes a topic for the mighty, Murdoch media. After the fanatical anti-choice web site, Life News, broke the story, on Monday, that "Planned Parenthood Sees Record High Abortions, Taxpayer Funding," Fox wasted no time in publicizing it via Fox Nation.  And yesterday morning, lo and behold "Pro-Life Luminary" Laura Ingraham appeared on Fox & Friends, to use that information to put Planned Parenthood, once again, in her crosshairs.

In December, Jesse Watters did a stalk video in which he ogled bikini clad women whose comments about lazy Hawaiians were used to promote Watters'  (wink, wink) message that Obama is a lazy (and former Afro wearing) Hawaiian. At the end of the piece, the loofah loving O'Reilly snarked that Hawaii is a "libertine society." Last week, O'Reilly followed up on the original Hawaii piece with another Watters video and a more detailed sociological analysis of Hawaii's social problems. In keeping with the T & A of Watters original opus, this video had more of the same. Included in O'Reilly's smear job were classic O'Reilly lies, stereotypes, and fear mongering about minorities that have earned him the ire of a Hawaiian congresswoman. Nice to see that O'Reilly is, in keeping with his recent tip of the day, staying "classy."

Mediaite's Tommy Christopher has an interesting article about the 60% gain in prime time black viewers for MSNBC. By comparison, however, Fox News lost a big chunk of what Christopher called its "already miniscule black audience."

On the 1/8/13 The Five, the topic was unpaid internships. Greg Gutfeld said, “The left paints this myth that people toil for years on this low-wage job, but no, they don’t. They’re only on that low rung of the ladder for a short time, that’s why it’s low paying and that’s why it’s a low rung.”

Bill O’Reilly, in yet another segment attacking the Westchester, New York News Journal’s publication of a map of gun owners, accused the paper last night of having a “left-wing agenda” because its editorial policy is Democratic supporting. “The publisher oversees the editorial side,” O’Reilly snapped at his guest who disagreed. But this is in complete disagreement with what Fox News executives always say in defense of their own conservative-dominated “opinion shows.”
