Fox News Outrageous Quote Of The Week – 2/2/14-2/8/14
We’ve got a lot of Fox News outrageousness on Benghazi and President Obama’s Super Bowl interview with Bill O’Reilly to mull over this week, dear readers. Only on Fox would a host argue that “act of terror” doesn’t mean “terrorist act.” Unless a Republican had said it, of course. But we’ve also got outrageousness about Hillary Clinton’s Super Bowl tweet, ObamaCare and more. Making his debut in our OQOTW poll this week: Ted Nugent.

Read moreFox News’ Global Warming Snow Job
Yesterday’s Cavuto on Business promoted the “It’s winter, there’s no global warming, it’s a hoax” attack on President Obama’s global warming regulations. FoxNews.com and host Neil Cavuto “just asked” about the regulations, “Taxpayers on the end of another show job?” But it was “fair and balanced” Fox doing the real shoveling – and it wasn’t just snow they were throwing at their viewers.
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: Oscar Song 'Yanked' Because Of Faith Based Bigotry
A Fox News "controversy," relating to a specific instance of right wing/Christian victimization usually has a shelf life of one day, starting with Fox & Friends and ending later that day on at least one of the night shows where indignant Fox hosts spread the misinformation in order to keep hate alive. But the recent elimination of a Christian song, from the Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, must be a big f%#king deal for Roger Ailes because it was featured on this morning's Fox & Friends after having been dealt with on Tuesday's Fox & Friends and Kelly Files. It's obvious that this perceived effrontery to Christians fits nicely with Fox News' ongoing Christian persecution meme. But what is really amusing is the rich irony in Fox pimping the cause of a Christian who broke rules and, in do doing, bearing what appears to be "false witness" against those who run the Academy Awards. Oh, right, that's evil, librul Hollywood, so it's all good!

It's not clear whether the Sean Hannity family's decision to put their Lloyd Harbor, New York mansion on the market is related to his decision to move out of New York State eventually but it certainly has fueled speculation.
Read moreFox’s Republican Rehab For Mike Huckabee And Those ‘Libido’ Comments
Mike Huckabee visited Your World yesterday where host Neil Cavuto did his best to spin Mike Huckabee’s now infamous comments about women’s libidos and “Uncle Sugar.” Or, as Cavuto put it dismissively, “this libido thing.”
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: Tucker Carlson Smears Michelle Obama
There is a childhood obesity problem in the most awesome country that Jesus ever created. But despite this fact, Fox News seems to think that freedom is just another word for real Americans to be able to stuff as much crap down their gullets as possible. And the notion of encouraging healthy eating habits for children is anathema to real Americans. Michelle Obama's advocacy for proper childhood nutrition was a source of racist (what, what, racism in real America?) commentary on Fox Nation and snark from Fox's Greg Gutfeld who suggested that Ms. Obama secretly scarfs down french fries. The idea of monitoring what kids eat is, for Fox, evidence of a creeping nanny state. This morning, in an obvious attempt to advance this meme, Fox & Friends hosted a mom who is upset that her kids' school has banned them from bringing in Valentine's Day chocolate - a story which allowed Tucker Carlson to insult Michelle Obama. As propaganda, it was sweet!
Read moreO'Reilly Attacks John Boehner As 'Secretly A Democrat'
Here’s an odd bit of political theater for you to mull over. Bill O’Reilly chose John Boehner as his “Pinhead of the Week” last night. O'Reilly said, “I believe that John Boehner is secretly a Democrat. I think is he a quisling. Because he never says what you need to say.”
Read moreGeraldo Rivera Calls O’Reilly ‘President Of Most Of The White Guys In America
Geraldo Rivera accused Bill O’Reilly of not being respectful enough to President Obama during his Super Bowl interview. The two hosts had an impassioned argument over the matter last night. But at the same time, Rivera suggested that O’Reilly was Obama’s equal on the national stage.
Read moreO’Reilly Sucks Up To Ted Nugent
Ted Nugent is the kind of extremist hate monger who makes Glenn Beck look thoughtful and reasonable. But hey, The Nuge suggests he’d like to kill Democrats so, apparently, that makes him A-OK by Fox News’ lights. During an interview tonight, Bill O’Reilly didn’t even mention Nugent’s birtherism, his race-baiting, suggestions he’d like to kill Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. No, O’Reilly wanted to know what Nugent thinks of rap music, legalized marijuana and an encounter with Paul McCartney.
