Fox’s Kooiman Reports Fake Story About Obama Funding A Muslim Museum
Fox News and host Anna Kooiman were so eager to promote a report that President Obama is funding a Muslim museum – despite closing the World War II Memorial – that they couldn’t be bothered to do any fact checking. Otherwise, they might have discovered that it was a fake story from a parody news site.
Read moreFox News Mailbag - 10/6/13 Edition
It's been a few weeks since we've opened our mailbag for our regular glimpse into the minds of Fox News viewers, at least the ones who write us in the apparent belief that we are their favorite "fair and balanced" network. The reason for the moratorium was because the trickle had dried up. But, judging from the latest collection, I don't think it's because their viewers have gotten smarter.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Wins Our Outrageous Quote Of The Week Poll
Bill O'Reilly was the clear winner of our Outrageous Quote of the Week poll last week. His winning entry was, "Things are obviously out of control and the Democratic party is primarily to blame. Simply put, President Obama and his acolytes do not want Americans to accumulate wealth. They want to take private wealth away from those who have it and give it to those who don’t have it. And they have succeeded in doing that with an assist from the Bush administration, which ran up colossal debt after 9/11."
Read moreRepublican Senator Mike Lee Calls Government Shutdown ‘Heroic’
It’s one thing to support the government shutdown and it’s another to cheerlead it as “heroic." But that’s exactly how Tea Party Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), one of the shutdown advocates, described it on Fox News’ special “Shutdown” Cost of Freedom show today.
Read moreNeil Cavuto Whines That Liberal Media Treats Wendy Davis Better Than Ted Cruz
Fox News lives in a nearly apocalyptic world of cosmic dualism in which the godly Fox is constantly fighting the forces of darkness. Chief among those groups deemed anathema is the media which, according to the "fair & balanced" Fox, is constantly bombarding Americans with evil, liberal, and very biased propaganda. Last week, Neil Cavuto treated his viewers to an epic hissy fit about how, according to Neil, the liberal media wasn't treating US Senator Ted Cruz's filbustery thing with the same respect that they gave to the real filibuster done by Texas State Senator, Wendy Davis who, in the godly right wing, is the very spawn of Satan. Never mind the reality that there were major differences between the two political maneuvers. But whatever. Grab some cheese because you are about to be treated to a big glass of Neil Cavuto whine.
Read moreFox’s Stuart Varney: ‘I Want To Punish’ Federal Workers Furloughed By The Government Shutdown
Fox Business host Stuart Varney didn’t just display a shocking lack of concern for those who are going without pay as a result of the government shutdown, he made himself out to be the real victim in the overall picture. While he continues to garner a nice, fat paycheck for his efforts.
Read moreFox Pretends Its Poll Results Are Not Dismal For Republicans
Fox News has a new poll out that shows the government shutdown is a disaster for Republicans. But Jon Scott and Monica Crowley did a masterful job of spinning the results and distracting their viewers' attention away from those results.
Read moreEric Bolling, Greg Gutfeld Accuse MSNBC Anchor Of Racism? Pots Meet Kettle?
The right wing is very adept at distorting reality in that they take their own negatives and project them on to those who are criticizing them. While the GOP has an abysmal record with minorities due to policies and public statements that are viewed as racist, there are some, in the right wing, who believe that blacks are the real racists - a meme that is advanced on Fox's The Five by Eric Bolling and Greg Gutfeld. Last night, Bolling and Gutfeld levelled charges of racism against MSNBC's Martin Bashir because Bashir asked a perfectly legitimate question based on the racial animus of the right wing - racial animus for which Eric Bolling and Greg Gutfled are Fox poster children.
Read moreFox Turns Government Shutdown Into 'Partial Government Shutdown'
As polls continue to show that Americans blame Republicans for the government shutdown, Fox News is doing its part to help rebuild the brand. In a shutdown-supportive kind of way, of course. Their solution? Call the shutdown a "partial shutdown."
