Bill O'Reilly Fantasizes About Offending Hispanics?!
Can you imagine Bill O'Reilly's outrage if students at a publicly funded or an Ivy League college showed up at a Halloween party dressed as pregnant nuns or priests with enlarged, exposed private parts? (According to the Catholic League's Bill Donohue, these costumes exist.) Yet, Bill, and his wing men, Greg Gutfeld and Bernard McGuirk seem to think that students at the University of Colorado should be able to wear, in contravention of the school's guidelines, Halloween costumes that are racially and ethnically insensitive. But then should we be surprised? After all, O'Reilly didn't think that African-Americans have table manners, Greg Gutfeld believes that SCOTUS Justice Sonia Sotomayor was picked only because she's Hispanic, and Bernard McGuirk referred to African-American college championship basketball players as "nappy headed ho's."
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: More Hysteria Over Muslim 'War On Christians'
Last week, Fox combined their patented Muslims suck meme with their patented Christians are persecuted meme in a trifecta of stories about how Christians are being persecuted by Muslims and, even worse, President Obama is doing nothing about it. Megyn Kelly's interview with an anti-Islamic guest appeared to be a rational discussion. (It wasn't). Shannon Bream's report appeared to be a rational "fair & balanced" presentation. (It wasn't) And rounding out the trifecta, was a Fox & Friends piece that dispensed with any semblance of rationality regarding the issue. Obviously, the plight of Christians, in nations where they are persecuted, is worthy of a serious and objective discussion. It didn't happen on Fox & Friends where Peter Johnson Jr. got nearly hysterical.
Read moreDr. Keith Ablow Gets Psychoanalyzed By Stephen Colbert
Fox's resident psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Ablow, is actually a real doctor. But that he is also playing a Fox News propagandist is evident in his personal attacks, couched as psychiatric evaluations, which are directed towards those who meet with Fox's disapproval. These alleged clinical assessments, which might be a violation of the American Psychiatric Association Code of Professional Ethics, have been used to smear Chaz Bono, Bill Maher, and Media Matters' David Brock. Recently, Ablow, in advancing the Fox/right wing meme about undeserving dark skinned welfare recipients, smeared President Obama with a "diagnosis" that Obama has a "victim mentality" as a result of having been abandoned by his father. The attack did not go unnoticed. In a stinging and hilarious piece of satire, Stephen Colbert provided his own virtual analysis of Ablow which focused on Ablow's potty training issues!
Read moreNow Megyn Kelly Has The Fake Obamacare Victims
Megyn Kelly announced at the beginning of her “Kelly File exclusive” last night that she wasn’t certain that the people she was presenting as Obamacare victims really had lost their insurance plans and their doctor because of the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"). But they claimed to be so that was good enough for her and the viewers. When a guest later exposed the charade, Kelly insisted it proved her point.
Read moreO’Reilly Lets Dick Cheney Spin The Iraq War, Saddam Hussein And Those Weapons Of Mass Destruction
Kudos to Bill O’Reilly for asking some tough questions of Dick Cheney tonight but there’s no doubt that Cheney got a pass on his excuses for invading Iraq that nobody on Fox would ever have given Obama. All you have to do is look at how they keep questioning and rehashing and rehashing Benghazi. In fact, O'Reilly condemned President Obama's handling of Benghazi earlier in this very show. A tragedy to be sure but nothing like the tragedy of the Iraq war. Unless you’re the Republican administration that waged it.

You really don't need to watch the video FoxNews.com posted of a segment from Your World with Neil Cavuto to get the message from the "Cavuto Mark" of its title.
Read moreRepublican Bobby Jindal’s Solution For The Uninsured: Become A Private Charity Case
Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) visited Fox News Sunday yesterday where he promoted his new non-profit designed to provide, as host Chris Wallace put it, an “affirmative, conservative agenda for the nation’s problems." But when asked what he might do for the large number of uninsured in Louisiana, Jindal’s answer didn’t exactly sound like an appealing alternative.
Read moreFr. Jonathan Morris Attacks Atheists Opposed To Tax Funded Christian Crime Scene Clergy
The religious right loves to talk about how settlers came to the American colonies to escape religious persecution. Flash forward a few hundred years and it's the Christians who are trying to force their Christianity onto everybody else - including in the public square where it doesn't, constitutionally, belong. And when the forces of nasty atheism object to taxpayer funded Christianity, those who stand for Jesus get warm Christian affirmation, on Fox News, from official Fox priest Fr. Jonathan Morris who just gets so upset about those nasty atheists who are trying to "wipe" the "name and voice of God" from our Christian nation. And according to the cute little padre, that's exactly what's happening in Montgomery Alabama where a taxpayer funded program, to place Christian clergy at crime scenes, is being challenged by - wait for it - those who are trying to wipe out the name and voice of God. Morris shouldn't worry his pretty little head. As long as we have Fox News, where "God" gets top ratings, that won't be happening any time soon!
Read moreElisabeth Hasselbeck Hosts Reincarnated WWII Pilot!
Apart from the topless "Page three girls," Fox & Friends might be the closest that Rupert Murdoch's Fox News gets to one of Murdoch's British tabloids. (The female Fox friends do show a lot of leg which, for conservative Christians, is sufficiently titillating!) Like the infamous tabloids (Murdoch's NY Post included), Fox & Friends engages in a toxic brew of lighthearted chat with and about entertainment figures combined with lighthearted slander of those in the opposition party. And like the tabloids, Fox & Friends features sensationalist material such as stories of those who have died and gone to Christian heaven. But forget celestial journeys, this morning, Elisabeth Hasselbeck interviewed a young man, James Leininger, who claims to be the reincarnation of a World War II fighter pilot. No, I'm not kidding. I wish I were!
