Bill O'Reilly's Alleged Abusive Behavior Reflected In 'Tip Of The Day?'
Bill O'Reilly's deep thoughts, otherwise known as Tips of the Day, not only demonstrate Bill's hubristic hypocrisy; but they also reflect the cognitive dissonance between his advice and how he comports himself. At best, they show a lack of self-awareness; at worst, denial of reality. But as is said about the accuracy of stopped clocks, O'Reilly sometimes gets it right. On January 8th, he opened his advice segment with video of Dennis Rodman's rendition of Happy Birthday to the Korean Supreme Leader. He ended this comment: "If you do foolish things, it will always come back to haunt you." LOL, spoken like a guy who was involved in a sexual harassment suit and, according to Gabriel Sherman's new book about Roger Ailes, an incident where he bullied a Fox News staffer so brutally that she thought that he was going to assault her. Ah, good times
Read moreAnother Bill O'Reilly Fact Refuted By Reality
During a contentious discussion (1/6) about marijuana legalization, with Mary Katharine Ham (whom he accused of "babbling") and Juan Williams, Bill O'Reilly, as Sen. Al Franken characterized it, pulled facts from his ass. He claimed that getting arrested for pot possession was no big deal because all it entailed was a "ticket" and that there are no "mass arrests" of pot users. Once again, O'Reilly, a "marijuana truther," is full o'crap. Forbes magazine, hardly a "liberal loon" publication, rebutted O'Reilly's assertion with actual data.

Jon Stewart was in top form Thursday night skewering Fox News’ war on the poor. And their hypocrisy toward banksters. Have some laughs at Fox and their friends’ expense.
Read moreGeraldo Rivera: Chris Christie Is ‘The Tony Soprano Of Politics In The Good Way’
Geraldo Rivera forcefully debated Bill O’Reilly last night on the import of the Bridgegate scandal on Chris Christie’s political future. O’Reilly played the GOP cards of trying to make the scandal about the Obama administration, minimize the scandal’s impact on Christie’s career and delegitimize the investigation. All of which Rivera batted aside as he honed in on the serious danger to Christie ahead. But Rivera also tried to talk up Christie – by likening him to Tony Soprano.

Read moreO’Reilly: Christie Scandal Coverage Shows The New York Times ‘Is Basically Running The Democratic Party’
In what can probably be seen as a classic case of projection, Bill O’Reilly accused the New York Times of being “an extension of the Democratic Party.” After guest Laura Ingraham agreed, O’Reilly upped the accusation to “basically running the Democratic Party.” Why? Because in its "Bridgegate" coverage, the Times portrayed Governor Chris Christie as a bully.

Read moreFox News Double Standard? Cussing Black Baby Vs. Palin Progeny?
While millions of unemployed Americans are worrying about how they will meet their next rent payment and a Republican governor is under fire for possibly trying to (metaphorically speaking) screw over Fort Lee, NJ, Fox News has exposed what it considers to be a big, f**king deal - i.e. a video of an African-American toddler being coached to cuss. Fox, which never wastes an opportunity to smear the black community, picked up on the Facebook video which was posted by Omaha police in an attempt to "educate" and "scare" people. Megyn Kelly went into histrionics about how this example of really bad parenting is a form of child abuse tantamount to beating a child. Alleged news host Greg Jarrett, in taking up the issue of whether this constitutes abuse, said it was "sickening to watch." But when Sarah Palin's offspring said nasty things, the "fair & balanced" Fox News didn't seem to think it was a newsworthy example of bad parenting.
