Hannity And Guest Blame A-Rod, Anthony Weiner, And Other Scandals On The Clintons
Although Sean Hannity has a fit and other Fox Newsies whine when a Democrat or President Obama blames anything on George W. Bush, apparently that’s no reason to stop blaming Bill Clinton! Tonight, however, Hannity came up with a lulu: blaming Clinton for the A-Rod, Ryan Braun, Anthony Weiner, Eliot Spitzer, Bob Filner and just about every other scandal in the news right now.
Read moreFox's Doocy And Trump Liken Charles Rangel To Paula Deen
Ever on the lookout for black racism (and ever blind and/or supportive of white racism), Fox News seized on the comments of Charles Rangel in the Friday’s Daily Beast as another piece of evidence of how unfair life is for white people. This morning, the Curvy Couch Crew on Fox & Friends enlisted "racial expert" Donald Trump to offer his insights and compare Rangel’s likening of the Tea Party to segregationist “crackers” to Deen’s n-word use.
Read moreFox News Uses Embassy Terror Threat To Attack Obama
While most Americans reacted to the news that terrorism threats have caused the closing of numerous embassies in Africa and the Middle East with consternation, those America lovers at Fox News saw a political opportunity and ran to exploit it. All weekend, across their programming, Fox News hosts and pundits seemed at least as interested in using the news to paint President Obama as weak and making us more vulnerable than they were in discussing the nature of the threat, itself.
Read moreGot Hypocrisy? Gay Bashing Tucker Carlson Says Anthony Weiner Is A Pervert!
Jon Stewart summed it all up nicely when, on CNN's old "Crossfire," he told Tucker Carlson, to his face and in no uncertain terms, that he was "as big a dick on your show as on any show." That was when Carlson had his own show on MSNBC. Flash forward to Carlson's employment, as a contributor and guest host on Fox News, and he's still a dick who is so full of his own self righteousness (as well as the end product of digestion) that he feels free to disparage anybody who doesn't comport with his standards which seem to be very selectively applied. When the diaper clad, pro-life Catholic GOP Senator David Vitter got caught patronizing the services of a prostitute, Carlson said that what Vitter did was nobody's business and wasn't relevant to his job as a Senator. He blamed the media for "destroying" Vitter's life. Yet, on Saturday's Fox & Friends, Carlson, who has proudly admitted to smashing the head of a gay man, glibly accused Anthony Weiner of being a "pervert." True story....

Sean Hannity To Uninsured Americans: Get A Health Savings Account
Multimillionaire Sean Hannity almost certainly has a generous health insurance policy that he either buys for himself and his family or is provided him courtesy of Fox News. But for those Americans who have had trouble getting coverage and looking forward to Obamacare, Hannity has this message: start saving and pay for much of your treatment yourself.
Read moreAnother Fox News Sunday Without A Democratic Politician Or Policymaker
We can add today to our long - and growing - list of Republican-interviews-only Fox News Sunday shows. Today's lineup featured an interview with Republican Congressman Justin Amash and General Michael Hayden, identified by host Wallace merely as "former head of the NSA and CIA," and not as a top official of the George W. Bush administration. That interview was followed by an interview with Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. The panel was similarly imbalanced and featured one Democratic commenter, Juan Williams against two Republicans, former Senator Jim DeMint and Bill Kristol. Plus Fox News Media analyst Howard Kurtz, political affiliation unknown but married to a Republican operative.
Read moreFox & Friends Advances RNC Meme That Dem's Waging Real War On Women!?
Fox News does take its talking points, sometimes word for misspelled word, from the Republican National Committee. Now that the RNC has decided that they will promote the meme that Anthony Weiner's junk shots, Elliot Spitzer's past peccadilloes, and sexual harassment allegations against Mayor Bob Filner show hypocrisy of the Democrats in the "war on women," it comes as now surprise that Fox News would advance the false narrative. As Rachel Maddow points out, this is "Political Strategy 101 -- take your rivals' isolated troubles, tie them together, and try to apply the condemnation as broadly as possible." This is exactly what Tucker Carlson and Alisyn Camerota did on this morning's Fox & Friends. And in keeping with the false narrative, which included outright lies, they, as Maddow also notes, require their audience to "lose sight of what makes the "war on women" important as a matter of public policy." Oh right, I forgot. That's the policy that Fox News pushes because, they claim, it helps women. You have now entered another dimension of sight and sound....

Read moreAnother Hour-Long Rush Limbaugh Infomercial On ‘On The Record!’
Apparently, a full hour of Rush Limbaugh was so nice for “liberal” Greta Van Susteren that she did it twice – in one week! And just as she did the first time, Van Susteren was full of softball questions, only, last night. Limbaugh’s recent “nigga” remark, part of his comments about the George Zimmerman trial, that was widely condemned? Not a word from Van Susteren, even though she asked if he had “anything to say” about the verdict.
