Elisabeth Hasselbeck's 'PC Police' Meme Validated By Editor Of College Newspaper With History Of Racial Insensitivity
While Fox News warmly embraces conservatives who feel besieged by the forces of godless secular forces, it dismisses those who are offended by conservatives as "politically correct" liberals who make life miserable for good conservatives. Yesterday, Elisabeth Hasselbeck invoked "PC" in her smear of a Dartmouth student who objected to a "Phiesta" themed fraternity party. Her guest from the Dartmouth Review, Nicholas Desatnick, validated the message about pesky minorities getting uppity. But while Hasselbeck was showcasing him as a voice for Dartmouth students, what she didn't mention is that his paper is not the official college news outlet but an independent entity formed in 1980 by "four discontented campus conservatives." And when it comes to racial issue, this newspaper has some junk in the trunk. But then this is Fox & Friends...
Read moreMegyn Kelly’s Suspicious Concern For Donald Sterling’s Privacy Rights
Is Megyn Kelly vying to be Donald Sterling’s white Santa? She certainly seems determined to give the guy a break. First, a Kelly File producer showed up at the NBA press conference and suggested Sterling’s punishment over remarks made in private was a “slippery slope.” Then Kelly spent a segment on The Kelly File explicitly suggesting Sterling was getting a raw deal. But it’s funny: when ACORN workers were illegally recorded – and made part of deceptive videos that took down ACORN – Kelly was all hunky-dory about it.

Fox News contributor Erick Erickson reacted to the botched execution in Oklahoma tonight - by calling for firing squads or hangings as capital punishment. To save us from the "hand wringing" of being humane.
Read moreHannity Uses Sterling Scandal To Attack Sharpton And The NAACP
Sean Hannity did not follow his Fox News colleagues down the “Donald Sterling proves that racism is dead lane” last night. However, he did follow the Fox line of using the occasion to attack Rev. Al Sharpton and suggest Sterling is affiliated with Democrats. Hannity put his personal racial spin on the story by using the occasion to go after the NAACP. Oh, and then complain about guest Bob Beckel politicizing the issue when he pointed out that Sterling’s donations to Democrats were because that’s the dominant party in Los Angeles.
Read moreFox News Interrupts Sterling Coverage For Benghazi And IRS
Today, as the rest of the country digested the news that the NBA banned LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life, fined him $2.5 million and would work to force him to sell the team, Fox News spent a few minutes discussing it before moving on to a “Fox News Alert” with inconsequential news about Benghazi.
Read moreAndrea Tantaros' Not Very Good, Very Bad Anti-Islam Campus Hate Speech
During the Fox abetted outrage over Brandeis U's revocation of an honorary degree for Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Fox's "The Five" weighed in with their usual bucket of anti-Islamic bile. Andrea Tantaros whined about the evils of radical Islam and how "far left" feminists are not standing up for Ms. Ali's freedom of speech. She cited Brandeis' belief that Ali's views do fit their core values and, in engaging in her standard Islamophobia, asked if Brandeis' core values include persecuting homosexuality "because that's what Islam does." (Actually, Islam's teaching on homosexuality is no different from evangelical Christianity and Catholicism) But Tantaros said something else which was intriguing. In suggesting that she and Ali have something in common, she said that she has spoken about "radical Islam" at colleges where she will never be invited back. And that, according to what I discovered, was with good reason

As the defender of the Christian (conservative that is, none of that gay accepting liberal Protestant apostasy) faith, Fox News has no qualms about attacking those who dare to push back against those who don't believe in the separation of church and state. Meanwhile, the revere any group that supports the First Amendment rights of Christians. In smearing "atheist" groups who oppose what they believe are unconstitutional Christian incursions into the public square, Fox is able to promote their popular godless atheists are destroying this "Christian nation" meme. Along with the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation and its head, Mikey Weinstein are targets of Fox's righteous Christian wrath. Last Friday, Megyn Kelly did a hit piece on Weinstein over his group's objection to uniformed military at National Day of Prayer ceremonies. Saturday, Fox & Friends picked up the ball and ran with it.
Read moreFox News: Sterling And Bundy Prove That Racism Is Dead – Except For Black Race Hustlers!
For all those worried how Fox News would take two vile racist rants in the news in one week, you can relax now. Fox wants you to know that the shockingly racist comments of both Donald Sterling and Cliven Bundy are great news for America! You see, the outpouring of disgust and contempt are proof that racism is no longer a problem. That is, except for the black people who don’t see it that way. Just pay no attention to the blatantly racist comments found right there on the Fox Nation website.
Read moreFox Nation Cites Sterling's Dem Contributions But Ignores His GOP Voter Registration
Cliven Bundy's racist comments ripped the scab off of the festering racism that, in 2014, seems to be associated with the Republican Party and its mouthpiece Fox News which makes millions off of its audience's fear and loathing of those scary black "takers." After Bundy's commentary ended his more than 15 minutes of Fox fame, another aging, rich white guy found himself in a bit of a situation involving what appear to be racist comments caught on tape. So, in a desperate move to show that not all aging, rich white guys are associated with the GOP, Fox Nation has posted, as a great, big lede on its website - "Clippers Owner Caught in Rant is a Democratic Donor." Oh, the horror, the horror. But as with most excrement on Fox News and Fox Nation, this is basically, uh, excrement!
Read moreElisabeth Hasselbeck Pushes Popular Persecuted Conservative Student Meme - But Doesn't Quite Hit The Mark!
There is constant whining, on Fox, about conservatives being denied their freedom of speech by "politically correct" liberals. But the same concern isn't shown about liberal speech when it offends conservatives. Lately, Fox has been showcasing alleged liberal bias on campuses. Fox & Friends validated right wing hysteria about a liberal professor's "rant" about Republicans, even after the teacher apologized. Fox friend Tucker Carlson and his right wing guest, Caleb Bonham whined about how colleges are "little indoctrination centers." The narrative was continued on Saturday's Fox & Friends when three conservative students whined about their professors. And this morning, Elisabeth Hasselbeck channeled right wing outrage over a professor's street theater to further promote the popular Fox persecuted student and, for bonus points, persecuted Christian meme in a segment that didn't quite hit the propaganda mark.
