How Fox Used Sen. Warren’s Student Loan Bill To Campaign Against Student Loans Altogether
Fox’s Your World pretended to discuss a bill proposed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren allowing students to refinance their student loans a few days ago. But the show chose as its only guest a Fox Business Network host who used his time on the show to argue that government-provided student loans should just be abolished.
Read moreFox Pundits Blame Nigerian Schoolgirl Kidnapping Partly On Benghazi
Fox host Laura Ingraham won tonight’s “Make Any Story About Benghazi” award when she suggested Benghazi was partly to blame for the recent kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls. For extra Fox News credit, regular guest Zuhdi Jasser attacked John Kerry, too. To listen to Jasser and Ingraham, you might think the Obama administration was almost the sole cause of the Nigerian kidnapping and all other Islamic radicalism.
Read moreVan Susteren Misses The Point Of Jon Stewart’s Benghazi Skewering
Greta Van Susteren took to her blog to defend Fox News after Jon Stewart’s scorching takedown of her employer’s obsession with Benghazi. How? By trying to make Democrats look bad.
Read moreLynne Cheney: Monica Lewinksy Came Forward Now To Help Hillary Clinton
Lynne Cheney - wife of the torture-lovin', WMDs-toutin' former vice president - promoted a new line that is almost as certainly as valid as the excuse to invade Iraq: that Monica Lewinsky has come forward now in order to help Hillary Clinton's upcoming 2016 presidential campaign. Not surprisingly, Fox host Laura Ingraham bought the idea just like her network bought the Iraq war.
Read moreOn The Five: Woman Who Filmed Abortion Slut Shamed With Anti-Choice Lies, Propaganda
Fox News actively supports the agenda of those who seek to limit women's reproductive rights. Fox & Friends provided a generous platform for opponents of the ACA's birth control mandate. *Fox continues to promote the lie that emergency birth control is abortion. Megyn Kelly trashed pro-choice TX gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis when she stood (literally) against the draconian TX abortion bill. Bill O'Reilly relentlessly attacked an abortion provider (even after Dr. Tiller's murder), maligned Planned Parenthood and women who have abortions. Fox obsessed about the Dr. Gosnell case and equated his practice with legal abortion. But Fox's "The Five," which proudly proclaims its anti-choice agenda, seems to have become Fox's newest "pro-life" champion. Recently, the show focused its ire on a woman who was contemplating abortion as a career move. Last night, the slut shaming continued with an attack on a woman who filmed her own abortion in order to counteract the type of anti-choice agitprop articulated on this edition of The Five. Surprisingly, Benghazi wasn't mentioned!
Read moreFox’s Not Very Touching Support For Monica Lewinsky
Monica Lewinsky has broken her silence and Fox News is all ears. It’s hard to think of a single other Democratic woman whose psychological welfare they have taken such an interest in. Ever. Not surprisingly, Fox’s “concern” looks a lot more like hatred for the Clintons than support for Lewinsky.
Read moreTucker Carlson: Men Think Sexual Harassment Is Awesome!
Last week, on the day Fox’s new show, "Outnumbered," premiered, co-host Tucker Carlson introduced a segment about Felicia Smith, a middle school teacher who was criminally charged after giving a 15 year-old student a lap dance for his birthday. Carlson had a huge problem with her arrest and even argued that that was a dream come true for a teenage boy - that women should try to understand, rather than the other way around.
Read moreLaura Ingraham Validates Todd Starnes' Whine About Bogus War On Christians
Despite the reality that it's America's conservative Christians who are attempting to foist their biblically based anti-gay, anti-abortion agenda on the rest of us, in their alternate reality, they are the ones being persecuted. As the mouthpiece for the church of the perpetually besieged Christian, Fox News constantly advances this bogus persecution narrative and nobody embodies this narrative more than, sweet mercy, Todd Starnes, a Jesus loving, homo hating Brooklyn non-hipster whose very existence is consumed with ferreting out examples, regardless of their veracity, of how those Jesus hating, homo loving secularists are out to destroy Christianity. Friday night, Laura Ingraham spoke to Starnes about persecuted Christians and in so doing helped him pimp his new book which is about - you guessed it - persecuted Christians!
Read moreJon Stewart Scorches Fox News Over Benghazi
The Daily Show gave Fox News just what they deserved last night over their Benghazi hypocrisy last night. From excusing Bush administration lies over Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction to attacking those who criticized Donald Rumsfeld’s cavalier comment about going to war “with the army you have, not the army you might want,” Stewart caught some of Fox’s loudest mouthpieces and Republican pals in flagrante delicto!
Read moreBill O'Reilly Praises TMZ Poll As Validation For His Beyoncé Shaming
Bill O'Reilly's obsession with what he considers the sexual impurity of female pop stars began with Miley Cyrus and has been taken to a whole new level with his bizarre belief that the music of Beyoncé will inspire young African-American girls to have unprotected sex leading to pregnancy. He has no qualms about attacking Queen Bey because, as part of his divinely inspired job to look out for us, he's looking out for minority teens who, I guess, are motivated by music videos. Bill is upset about the corrupting effects of Beyoncé's sexy video (always shown during his homilies) and he wants you to share his concern. Thus, he congratulated himself and TMZ for the results of an on-line poll which showed that more folks sided with Bill than Bey. What he didn't mention was that the article's description of Bill wasn't too flattering.
