Bill O’Reilly Calls For A John Dean-Type Whistleblower To Sink Obama’s Presidency Over Benghazi Or The IRS
No matter how much of a neutral camouflage O’Reilly has tried to cloak himself in, there was no disguising his open eagerness at what he saw as a glimmer of impeachment or resignation hope at the end of the endless Benghazi/IRS tunnel.
Read moreFox Helps Karl Rove Promote ‘Brain Damage’ Conspiracy Theory About Hillary Clinton’s Health – And Pretend Otherwise
Yesterday, the New York Post reported that Karl Rove suggested Hillary Clinton suffered brain damage as the result of her 2012 concussion and blood clot. Today, after a backlash, Rove got seven minutes of almost uninterrupted airtime on Fox News to both deny that he ever said it – and advance the baseless suggestion at the same time.
Read moreJudge Andrew Napolitano: Atheist Military Chaplains 'Political Correctness Gone Crazy'
While Fox News loves anything or anybody connected to right wing Christianity and conservative Catholicism (ignore that "Marxist" pope), it isn't exactly enamored of atheists who, on Fox, are considered the enemy. While Fox News is always yammering about how Christian First Amendment rights are supposedly being attacked by atheists, they have no concern about the First Amendment rights of those who don't follow Fox's one true faith. Fox friend Elisabeth Hasselbeck recently channeled Gretchen Carlson's belief that there should be no free speech rights during Christian holidays. And yesterday, in keeping with the patented Fox atheists suck big time meme, Hasselbeck provided a platform for "pre-Vatican II" Catholic Judge Andrew Napolitano's argument that those filthy atheists do not deserve to have their own military chaplain.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Wonders If Muslim Condemnation Of Boko Haram Is Just ‘Cover’
Megyn Kelly discussed the kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls last night in two separate segments. Kelly worked in the exact same gratuitous swipe at Michelle Obama as Fox’s Jesse Watters did. And gratuitously questioned whether mainstream Muslims who condemned the kidnappings really meant it or were just camouflaging their extremism. Even though Kelly didn’t offer any evidence for her suggestion.
Read moreFox Guest McInnes Discussing Michael Sam: Gays ‘The Least Tolerant Group In Modern America. It’s Almost Like Sharia Law’
It’s hard to know whether Hannity show regular Gavin McInnes was serious or pranking tonight when he discussed Don Jones’ tweet about Michael Sam’s gay kiss by comparing gay rights advocacy to Sharia law. But two things are certain: It wasn’t funny. And host Sean Hannity didn’t mind a bit.
Read moreFox Nation's Racist Hatred Over Jay Z Fight With Beyoncé Sister
Not surprisingly, those "America loving " folks at Fox Nation are on the Jay Z/Beyoncé sister fight. Even though nobody knows what it was about. But when has Fox Nation ever turned down an opportunity for another "Black People Behaving Badly" story? Especially if it's about two African Americans Fox especially loves to hate?
Read moreFox Blows Racist Dog Whistle Over Michelle Obama's Kidnapped Nigerian Schoolgirl Address
Leave it to "America loving" Fox Nation to seize upon Michelle Obama's weekend address about the kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls - and use it as a racial dog whistle to suggest that the First Lady is in some kind of secret solidarity with the kidnappers.
Read moreElisabeth Hasselbeck Promotes Catholic Outrage Over Harvard Extension's Satanic Mass
As with so many issues, there is a double standard, on Fox News, regarding religious liberty issues. Last month, the network was all freedom of speech during their extensive criticism of an Islamic group which protested the showing of a film deemed offensive to Islam. Brandeis U drew Fox's ire when it cancelled Ayaan Hirsi Ali's honorary degree due to student opposition to her anti-Islamic commentary. But now that the Harvard Extension Cultural Club will be hosting a re-enactment of a "black mass," which some Harvard students, alumni, and the Catholic Church have condemned, Fox is throwing all that talk about academic free speech and tolerance out the window. This morning, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, in validating the view of a conservative Catholic Harvard student who opposes the event, showed that for Fox, not all free speech is created equal. And it was another opportunity to denigrate those Ivy dens of inequity so it was all good...
Read moreSteve Doocy Declares 'Miracle' When Boulder Narrowly Misses Christian Church
In addition to all those celestial journeys, during which the voyagers got to see white Jesus, Fox & Friends features miracles such when a toddler's cancer was cured by angels and an "angel" priest (who turned out to be quite corporeal) who appeared at the site of car crash. This morning, Fox's *between two ferns show (with Doocy and Kilmeade as the ferns) promoted another miracle involving a huge boulder which stopped just inches away from a Christian church. While it is undeniably a good thing that the church was not damaged and nobody got hurt, to ascribe the event to miraculous intervention is a bit of a stretch. But here's the thing. Considering that many churches have been damaged (many in the bible belt) by a variety of natural disasters, does this suggest that God plays favorites? Oh well, this is Fox & Friends where fact is fiction and miracles can happen!
Read moreFox News Outrageous Quote Of The Week Poll, Week Of 5/414 – 5/10/14
There was a lot of culture-war outrageousness on Fox last week. But we also caught Laura Ingraham wondering what we can do to help with the missing Nigerian schoolgirls because of Benghazi. Additionally, Monica Lewinsky seemed to bring out the crazy. Lynne Cheney put forth a conspiracy theory and Ann Coulter had some motherly advice for Lewinsky. Click on for the deets!
