Fox News Outrageous Quote of the Week Poll - 9/8/13-9/14/13
Not surprisingly, much of the talk last week on Fox was about Syria. But that didn't mean the talk had to be sensibile, fair and balanced! Not on Fox News! So here are the latest nominees for the Outrageous Quote of the Week. Which will you choose this time?
Read moreNeil Cavuto: No One Begrudges Helping The Poor, We Just Don’t Care If They Go Hungry
On last week’s Your World, Neil Cavuto discussed the record number of people on food stamps - not by noting how many Americans suffer from food insecurity nor how so many Americans have been left out of the recovery – while those at the top, like Cavuto, have gotten richer. No, Cavuto teamed up with a guest to suggest that Americans are gaming the system. Which just so happens to complement Republican efforts to cut $40 billion from the SNAP program, commonly referred to as “food stamps.”
Read moreAblow: ‘Guns Are Irrelevant’ To Mass Shootings. Video Games Are The Real Threat
Dr. Keith Ablow visited America’s Newsroom on Friday (9/13/13) where he delivered another one of his crackpot “analyses” which, in this case amounted to a conclusion that guns don’t kill people, video games kill people. Host Martha MacCallum seemed to agree.
Read moreGreg Gutfeld Wants More Media Coverage Of Scary Black Men
Since the Trayvon Martin trial, Fox News has been pushing a racist narrative that portrays whites as the real victims of crimes perpetrated by violent, racist African-Americans. In their search for a white Trayvon Martin, they have been trying to portray any criminal acts, committed by blacks against whites, as hate crimes - even when local police say that there is no racial motivation. In creating a false equivalency between the Martin shooting and crimes against whites, Fox is also able to reinforce its meme about librul media bias by asserting that the media isn't sufficiently covering these incidents. Fox's "The Five," pushed this racist agitprop after a school bus beating of a white child by several black youth. Greg Gutfeld questioned the local police's assertion that this wasn't a hate crime. He used the situation to excoriate the African-American community and advance the racist narrative that blacks are scary, brutish thugs. This week he continued the formulaic Fox narrative of how the press is ignoring the real (black on white) hate crime in America.
Read moreFox News Mailbag - 9/14/13 Edition

Read moreDana Perino The Winner Of Last Week's Outrageous Quote Poll
Dana Perino is not normally one of the Fox News flame throwers but her comments last week suggesting that people should leave the country if they don't like the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance really rubbed people the wrong way.
Read moreFox News Tries To Make Syria Deal About John Kerry Gaffe
In case you're not sure whether the just-brokered Syria deal is good news for the Obama administration - given that there are plenty of minefields still left to traverse - one glimpse at FoxNews.com gives you an answer in the affirmative. Why else would they make the headline, "Kerry saving face after Syria deal?" at the top of the page and, in much smaller letters, the headline, "US, Russia reach Syria weapons deal"?
Read moreJon Stewart Nails It Again: Fox News 'Parasitic, Succubus-Like'
While Fox News is not officially part of the Republican Party, it is their media mouthpiece (their out-house organ?!). As such, Fox will never, evah give credit to President Obama for anything that he does. He could be walking with Jesus and they would accuse him of taking Jesus hostage. Their hatred for Obama was reflected in their disappointment over Syria's agreement to relinquish chemical weapons, a move which they framed as a "humiliating defeat" for this country. Jon Stewart took on this latest anti-Obama meme and in so doing provided a perfect description of Fox News.
Read moreFox Guest Cardone: Obama Should Be More Like Miley Cyrus
On yesterday’s Your World, Grant Cardone, who bills himself as an international business and sales expert, was on hand to criticize discuss President Obama’s leadership style in the Syria crisis. Any Fox watcher worth his or her salt could have guessed in advance that Cardone was going to find Obama severely lacking. But Cardone didn’t exactly add to his foreign policy cred (even if the only FNC requirement seems to be a willingness to attack Obama with inflammatory soundbites) when he said he was more impressed with Miley Cyrus’ leadership in the last two weeks than Obama’s.
Read moreMichelle Malkin Calls President Obama A ‘Rodeo Clown’ Re Syria
Hatriot Michelle Malkin must have been so proud of her little racial dog whistle last night when, during a Hannity-show debate with Juan Williams over President Obama’s Syria policy, she referred to our president as a “rodeo clown.” Yet when Juan Williams suggested that her isolationism was un-American, Malkin was just outraged that someone would dare speak to her that way.
