Fox News Website Runs Obamacare 'Glitch Watch'
In their desperation to prove that the Affordable Care Act is a mess, the Fox News website is doing a "glitch watch" which purports to show how Obamacare is the failure that that Fox and the GOP have predicted it will be. The column details so-called "glitches" from various states because, according to Fox, "As ObamaCare enrollment begins, technical glitches on federal and numerous state-run insurance exchanges are delaying and turning away Americans." Fox defined "glitches" include material such as how the RI state site, gasp, "still needs adjustment." Wow, now that's f**ked up! But if Fox is really committed to "Fair & Balanced" news, shouldn't it have a success watch which might include the story about Butch Matthews, a Republican who loves Obamacare because it saves him money? Nah, that would be a glitch in Fox's relentless, anti-Obama propaganda, ya think!
Unhinged Sean Hannity Demands $10,000 Bet From ‘Elitist’ Rep. Pascrell
Sean Hannity just couldn’t take a feisty Democratic Congressman Bill Pascrell standing up to his lies and spin.

Two nights ago, Tea Party Express chair Amy Kremer developed the same sudden case of love for the federal government that Senator “Shut Down” Ted Cruz and host “Shut Down” Sean Hannity suddenly developed last night. Just in time to read the polls showing that Americans blame Republicans for the shut down and just in time to try to blame Senator Harry Reid instead. And host Greta Van Susteren did her part.
Read moreFox News Exploits Capitol Hill Shooting To Blame President Obama, Deflect From Government Shutdown
Less than 10 minutes after a Fox News Alert reported a shooting on Capitol Hill, reporter Catherine Herridge immediately detracted from questions as to whether or not the government shutdown may have impeded the Department of Homeland Security. So after reporting that 10% of its employees are out because of the shutdown, she quickly took a gratuitous slap at President Obama.
Read moreO’Reilly Declares Obamacare A Dangerous Failure One Day After Going Into Effect
One day after Bill O’Reilly made a fool out of Sen. Ted Cruz, O'Reilly seemed determined to make up for lost GOP-unity time last night. He did so by declaring the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, a dangerous failure and thereby suggesting that Cruz and the Tea Party were justified in shutting down the government to stop it.
Read moreMartha MacCallum, Bill Hemmer Mock Non-English Speakers Who Need Health Care
As the media outlet for the rabidly xenophobic, "English Only" right wing, Fox News wants filthy immigrants to speak English because, as we know, that is Jesus' preferred language. The contempt with which Fox views those who do not speak English as a primary language was evidenced by Fox "news" guy, Jon Scott, who was aghast that radio stations weren't playing a parody song about the outrage of having to "Press One for English." Martha MacCallum was amused by a diner owner's sign that said "English Only." And now that the Affordable Care Act is offered in 150 languages, MacCallum and her fellow "news" host Bill Hemmer are in full mocking mode. America is a ethnically and linguistically diverse country - but not in "America's Newsroom," nosirreee!!!!

If you're ready to tear your hair out over the #GOPShutdown that they're trying to call the Harry Reid shutdown - that is when Fox isn't downplaying the shutdown as a "slimdown" - then have a good laugh with Jon Stewart at Fox's expense. Especially Sean Hannity's and Todd Starnes' expense. But Laura Ingraham, Fox & Friends and Greta Van Susteren got their due, too.

If Sean Hannity and Senator Ted Cruz really believe in the shutdown strategy they’ve long been advocating as a means to derail the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, why are they now pretending it’s not theirs?
Read moreBill O'Reilly Encourages Communication With Opponents - But Won't Debate Robert Reich?
We mere mortals are so blessed to have Bill O'Reilly share his deep thoughts with us in his daily colliloquy otherwise known as "The Tip of the Day." Last night, while pimping his new book, America's great sage told his viewers that even if you disagree with somebody, you shouldn't cut off all communication with them. While that sounds so noble, it does, once again, expose Bill's hypocrisy and inability to practice what he preaches in his pearls of wisdom.
Read moreFox News Blames Obama For Making Government ‘Slimdown’ A ‘Shutdown’
Fox News must be getting desperate for ways to spin the federal government shutdown to benefit their Republican home team. First, they pretended the shutdown was no biggie. Then, they called it a “slimdown.” Now, they’re pretending that President Obama is the one shutting down the government.
