Martin Bashir Discusses Fox News Sandra Fluke "Conspiracy Theory"
The newest propaganda meme on Fox seems to be that Sandra Fluke is a secret "plant" who is connected to some insidious plot being perpetrated by the Obama administration. Bill O'Reilly is convinced, without any actual proof, that the PR firm which represents Fluke means something. What that something is remains unknown. Eric Bolling is convinced, without any actual proof, that the whole Fluke matter is part of a nefarious web of intrigue that is centered on the White House. Check out Martin Bashir's report on how Fox News, in the tradition of alien abductions and other conspiracies which bespeak "serious psychological disorders," is exposing how Sandra Fluke is part of a "mesmorizing and devilish strategy planned and orchestrated by, yes, you guessed it, the White House." Bolling has a well deserved starring role. Forget about 9/11 being an "inside job." Maybe Barack Obama was behind it, somehow? Eric, Eric, you there?
Read moreO’Reilly Channels Beck With Latest Sandra Fluke Conspiracy Theory
Another day, another O’Reilly attack on Sandra Fluke. As I’ve previously written, Bill O’Reilly – like his fellow Fox News host Eric Bolling – has largely ignored the giant Rush Limbaugh controversy over his misogynistic attacks on Fluke, the Georgetown Law Student who testified before Congress in favor of contraception coverage in health insurance. Instead, O’Reilly has used his discussions to attack Fluke in ways that just so happen to mimic Limbaugh. But last night, O’Reilly sounded much like his former colleague, Glenn Beck, touting a big discovery that Fluke is now represented by – wait for it! The same company that employs former Obama operative Anita Dunn! O’Reilly offered up no connection between Fluke and Obama or even any direct relationship between Fluke and Dunn. Still, O’Reilly seemed certain he was on to something!
Read moreFox & Friends Promotes Anti-Christian TV Show, "GCB?"
Fox & Friends is THE flagship Fox "News" show for Christians who hate those who dare to cast aspersions on any and all who dare to insult those who follow Jesus. But it appears that Fox & Friends could be part of the Satanic (and very gay) agenda to take over the media in order to put good Christians on the road to perdition. Last week, singer/actress Kristin Chenoweth appeared on Fox & Friends in order to promote the new show, "GCB," in which she plays the part of a very busybody Dallas housewife who is able to combine devout Christianity with a voracious sexual appetite and a proclitivity towards a rather un-Christian attitude towards her fellow man - in this case a former female classmate. The initials of the show originally stood for "Good Christian Bitches," after the Kim Gatlin novel, but was changed to mean "Good Christian Belles." Good Christians, like NY Councilman Peter Vallone and Newsbusters, are not exactly slain in the spirit of the show. Fox & Friends, however, promoted this as a comedy that features Christians when it's obviously something far more sinister. Could it be Satan? BTW, Chenoweth is quite effective in her role as a "GCB."
Greta Van Susteren To Netanyahu: How Is War With Iran Not Inevitable?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu got more than 16 minutes of saber-rattling, fear mongering and war mongering against Iran last night on On The Record. Host Greta Van Susteren didn’t come right out and advocate for war (the way many of her Fox News colleagues do) but she did very little to challenge Netanyahu’s position.
Read moreCrowley And O’Reilly Jump On The Sandra Fluke Conspiracy Crazy Train
As Rush Limbaugh hemorrhages support in the wake of his incredibly misogynistic attacks on contraception activist Sandra Fluke, Fox’s Bill O’Reilly and Monica Crowley did their part for the right-wing hate machine by continuing to malign Fluke. You may recall that last week, O’Reilly echoed Limbaugh’s attack by suggesting Fluke is a slut for wanting contraception covered by health insurance. Last night, Crowley and O’Reilly echoed Limbaugh’s off-the-wall, baseless accusation that the Fluke controversy was some kind of left-wing conspiracy. How else could she succeed so well, they wondered? Memo to Bill and Monica: The unhinged reaction from your kind was a bigger gift to Fluke’s argument than anything she and the left could have planned for.
Read moreMichelle Malkin Can Barely Contain Her Excitement Playing Race Card Against President Obama
Hatriot Michelle Malkin was so excited over the Hannity show’s “exclusive” “Obama race video” last night that she literally began gasping as she spoke during a following segment. She was paired during the segment with Juan Williams who, like most people who are not rabidly anti-Obama, thought there was no "there" there in this big release from Team Breitbart. In fact, as I noted in a prior post, #BreitbartHasTape quickly became a big Twitter joke. But Malkin interrupted Williams to excitedly insist, “It is not nothing. It is very crucial.” Williams never got a second chance to speak.
Megyn Kelly Slams Sandra Fluke's Sense Of "Entitlement" & Monica Crowley Does Some Slut Shaming
America's right wing and their abettors on Fox News have no problem with the top income bracket (whoops, job creators) feeling entitled to their tax break. But when it comes to health care that includes free birth control, it's a different story. Many employers already provide free birth control as a result of a state mandate or employer policy. But when the Obama HHS issued its birth control policy, the GOP, the Catholic Church, and Fox News went into battle mode. The battle became even more heated after Georgetown Law student, Sandra Fluke, spoke to Democrats (after having been excluded from the official GOP hearing) about the unfairness of Georgetown's health insurance policy which covers birth control for employees but not for students who incur heavy expenses for their contraception. The rest, as they say, is history. Fox "News" wasted no time in smearing Fluke. Alleged "news" anchor Megyn Kelly started off by "joking" about all the sex that Fluke is having. She then moved into stage two of the smear by attacking Fluke for having a sense of "entitlement." And for added enjoyment, Monica Crowley, in the grand tradition of Rush Limbaugh, slut shamed Fluke and her fellow Georgetown students.
Read moreHannity Agog Over Breitbart’s Recycled “Obama Race Video” - Exposing Whom Obama Hugged In 1990
Sean Hannity, the guy who palled around with a white supremacist and has a very disturbing record on race, was predictably excited over what he and Fox News touted as an “exclusive” airing of an “unedited Obama race video.” Unfortunately for Hannity, Fox and the Breitbart team, the video – showing President Obama hugging someone 22 years ago - is so underwhelming that it immediately became a Twitter joke. That big exposé telling you what the “mainstream media” would not turned out to be old mainstream media news. PBS’ Frontline aired the whole thing in 2008 as part of an election special. PBS’ website noted that the video has been posted there and on YouTube ever since.
Read moreFirst “Fox And Friends First” Team Has No Legs, Retired Already
It’s was only Wednesday, just the 3rd day of Fox “News” Channel’s newest “news” show “Fox and Friends First.” Yet at the end of today’s hour Blonde #1 and Blonde #2 announced they are being rotated out already, in favor of two of the word-pitchers warming up in the bullpen. While it’s a surprise they’d pull the hosts after just the third inning, it was always intended that a series of hosts would rotate through the 5AM hour. Starting tomorrow Dave Briggs, of the “Fox and Friends Weekend” B-team, and Heather Childers will be manning the leg chairs.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Mocks GOP War On Women (And Defends Limbaugh, Too)
In the reality based community, it's apparent that not only is the GOP waging a war on women's reproductive rights; but since 2010, it has revved it up into high gear. Tennis great, Billie Jean King has accused the GOP of "waging an epic battle against women's health care choices." As such, she is calling on Democratic supporters to sign a DCCC petition to ask that Republicans include women in congressional discussions about women's health. She was prompted to do this after GOP Congressman Darrell Issa convened a House panel which had no women participants. But some in the right wing community scoff at the idea that women's rights are being attacked. Yesterday, on Fox & Friends, Laura Ingraham claimed that there is no war on women. And today, on America Live, alleged straight "news" anchor Megyn Kelly and Monica Crowley mocked the idea that women are being treated unfairly. Kelly did a little defense work for Limbaugh, too. Thankfully, Sally Kohn was there to rebut the insanity. So I guess with two against one, it's almost "fair & balanced?" Ya think!
