Cavuto Helps DeMint Lie About The Budget And Deficit
On Tuesday’s Your World, President-elect of the Heritage Foundation Jim DeMint spoke about Democrats calling Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget “draconian” and “extreme.” DeMint said, “I don’t think the Democrats even have a right to criticize. The only budgets we’ve seen from this President have been budgets that nearly double our debt over the next 10 years. …I applaud Paul Ryan and the Republicans for stepping out, being willing to take the criticism, but like you said, Neil, balancing the budget over a 10 year period is hardly extreme, and if we don’t do it, all of us know we’re going to bankrupt our country.”

Fox’s in-house psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Ablow, once again showed why any sane network would be having him examined rather than putting him on the air as any kind of expert. First, he wrongly accused President Obama of wanting “to take everyone’s guns,” then Ablow likened him into a wife-beater “coming back” to Republicans and finally, after a brief detour of linking Obama’s abandonment issues to his belief in “disempowering the individual,” Ablow finished up with flurry of demands for Obama to resign.
Read moreOn Fox Nation: "Unleashed Beast" Bill O'Reilly Takes Down "Dishonest Editor"
Fox Nation is allegedly a place for those "who oppose intolerance." In keeping with Fox News' bogus "fair & balanced" bull, it also makes the same claim. Yet, it routinely traffics in editorialized, subjective headlines that, in many cases, have nothing to do with the linked article or the Fox video that is being promoted. Such is the case with Fox Nation's Lede Headline: "HOT VIDEO, O'Reilly Unleashes The Beast On Dishonest Editor." The video refers to O'Reilly's interview with Curtis Hubbard, editorial page editor of the Denver Post, who had the audacity to call out O'Reilly for what appears to be the shameless and baseless gay baiting of the Democratic CO House speaker who had the audacity to oppose, in conjunction with a variety of legal experts, Bill's pet project, "Jessica's Law." As noted in the Fox Nation text, Bill, in taking the "dishonest" Hubbard "to task, was an "unleashed beast." If, as rumor has it, Jesse Watters is in charge of Fox Nation, one can understand the giant sucking sound. And if not, it's still pure delusion.
Read moreO’Reilly Meltdown Of The Day: Denver Post Columnist Who Criticized His Attack On Gay Legislator
Another week, another Bill O’Reilly meltdown. And another rewriting of history of same. Tonight’s target: Curtis Hubbard, editorial page editor of the Denver Post, who called out O’Reilly’s “fact-challenged, bigoted” attack on Colorado’s openly gay Speaker of the House. Actually, O’Reilly already rewrote the history before the meltdown this time. But he rewrote it again as he also hurled insults such as “you’re a ridiculous person” with “a vile little column.” Unfortunately for O’Reilly, it didn’t seem to rattle Hubbard a bit. In fact, you’d have to say O’Reilly was the one who became unglued.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Rewrites The History Of His Attack On Gay Congressman
Bill O’Reilly got called out by the Denver Post for his “bigoted, fact-challenged” attack on Colorado’s openly gay and Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives for suggesting that his sexuality had something to do with his opposition to a child molestation bill. And, just as he did after getting called out recently for his vicious attack on Alan Colmes, O’Reilly waffled and changed his story.
Read moreGot Irony? Bill O'Reilly Says To Ignore "Guttersnipes!"
Rather than moments of Zen, Bill O'Reilly's "Tip of the Day" lessons are a view into the hubristic mind of a person whose teachings don't really correspond to past practice. But who knows, maybe Bill O'Reilly has achieved a whole new level of self awareness. But wait, after having lectured us about anger management (go scream in private), Bill vented, quite publicly, against Alan Colmes. So, one wonders if Bill will be able to follow his recent advice about ignoring "guttersnipes. Given his past history, odds are against him.
Read moreFox Gushes Over 'Urgent' News That A New Pope Has Been Selected
Any regular reader knows that Fox is inordinately skewed to Catholics. Is there any other channel that features such regular visits from a Catholic priest over all other denominations? So it's no surprise that Fox would consider the white smoke emanating from the Vatican's chimney, the sign that a new Pope has been selected, as "urgent."
Read moreFox Nation Runs Birther Interference For Ted Cruz
If you're a fan of Texas' Tea Party Senator Ted Cruz and you're worried he might face a birther problem should he decide to run for president, you can rest easier knowing that Fox Nation has his back. Unlike with President Obama, Cruz's spokesperson's word is good enough to allay concerns about his citizenship. Let's compare and contrast.
Read moreFox Guest: I Have Never Met A Group Of People Who Are So Upset That The Economy Is Rebounding Than The Folks Over At Fox
Caroline Heldman, a frequent Fox News guest, had a bit of a blowout with Sean Hannity last night in which he argued that the booming stock market was not a sign of economic recovery because, he asked rhetorically, "those people on food stamps, are they investing in the stock market?” To which Heldman replied, "I’m impressed that you’re now concerned about the poor, thank you for that.” Tonight, Heldman was a guest on Al Sharpton's PoliticsNation where she said, "I have never met a group of people who are so upset that the economy is rebounding than the folks over at Fox."
