I was all set to do a post praising Chris Wallace for his tough interview with Romney-advisor Ed Gillespie on yesterday's Fox News Sunday. But then I caught the panel discussion and all my props went out the window. It was little more than a thinly disguised effort to paint the Obama campaign as dysfunctional – while mostly ignoring Romney’s dance with the Birther Boy, Donald Trump.

On “objective” America’s News HQ today, Shannon Bream interviewed Wisconsin Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and allowed her to distort the Scott Walker administration’s rather poor record of job losses as one of job creation.

David Zurawik, television critic for the Baltimore Sun, didn’t mince words about Fox News in the wake of its propagandistic anti-Obama video presented as news analysis on Fox & Friends last week. He said that Fox has been “compromised” and that he will deal with Fox “as a political organization primarily… at least through this election cycle” now.

For those of you not into the latest Hollywood news, Justin Bieber has been accused of assaulting one of the paparazzi. The photographer claims that the singer hit him after he took photos of Bieber and his girlfriend. The police are investigating. But Beiber should fear not because he is being defended by a "rich and famous" fellow celebrity. Yes, folks, Bill O'Reilly, who suffered the slings and arrows of the evil press when he was accused of sexual harassment, asks, in his latest column, "is there any justice for Justin?" The column is instructive and amusing as it underscores bully Bill's hypocrisy. While rationalizing what could be bullying behavior on the part of Bieber, bully Bill attacks an unknown "Occupy" protester for doing, apparently, what Bill's paid stalker, Jesse T Watters does all the time. And while Bill's kinky "Caribbean Shower" fantasies are public record, this column reveals that Bill also has no problem with fantasies involving violence. Paging Dr. Ablow?

Part Two of Bill Hemmer’s “Let’s help boost Mitt Romney’s Likeability” in the form of an “exclusive interview” aired on America’s Newsroom Thursday (5/31/12).  This one focused on “faith and family,” as FoxNews.com said in its title. But probably aware of Americans’ significant skepticism about the Mormon religion, Hemmer did his part for the cause and suggested that Romney emulate Barack Obama’s strategy for dealing with the subject.

Although approximately 100 claims have been made against Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, an estimated 400 more are in the works.

Ya gotta love it. Martha MacCallum is an alleged "news" anchor or an alleged Fox "news" show. Not only does she defend GOP talking points; but she makes baseless pronouncements on business ethics in foreign countries. This week, she and Roger Ailes boy toy Fox religion analyst. Fr. Jonathan Morris discussed the Vatican leak scandal which now includes the arrest of Il Papa Benedict's butler. After Morris referenced Vatican corruption, MacCallum tried to establish moral equivalency between the Vatican and the Italian business community. She said that "there's a history of corruption, all truth be told, that exists in most businesses, it would seem, in Italy that there's cronyism, paying off people, you know to get business contracts..."  So there you have it. Fox News says most Italian business are corrupt. Questo è un insulto? Wonder if Martha would say the same thing about American businesses? Mamma Mia...

On yesterday's Happening Now, liberal Alan Colmes appeared with his conservative sister-in-law, Monica Crowley, for a debate designed to focus on Obama surrogates straying off the campaign message and/or breaking with it. But Colmes immediately took control of the debate and made it about Mitt Romney. And guess what? The segment ended suddenly, when host Jon Scott was obviously prepared for it to go longer.

Congressman Joe Walsh may have settled up with his ex-wife over the more than $100,000 in child support she had been trying to collect from him but that doesn’t exactly make him a model of fiscal responsibility. As The Hill reported, “(Walsh) had a condo he owned foreclosed on. He allegedly told his ex-wife, Laura Walsh, that he could not pay her child support during his (2010) campaign because he was between jobs, according to her attorneys. But they point out that Walsh loaned his campaign $35,000, and has repaid himself approximately $14,000 of that so far.” But hey, he’s facing a tough re-election fight, so why not go for broke (so to speak) and attack Hispanics as being financially irresponsible? After all, Walsh was on The O’Reilly Factor and he could be pretty sure O’Reilly wouldn’t bust him on it.

While the rest of the world buzzes about the shockingly biased, Obama attack video aired as news on Fox & Friends earlier this week, Bill O’Reilly and Fox News “media critic” Bernard Goldberg somehow missed the story. Instead, last night they went on the attack against Dan Rather – who had the nerve to cancel an appearance on The O’Reilly Factor the same night he appeared on The Daily Show – and accused the media of deliberately working to re-elect President Obama. Besides the obvious case of projection, the unstated suggestion was that Fox was justified in its brazenly anti-Obama video, given his unfair advantage against the discriminated-against Mitt Romney.
