Looks Like Fox Nation Didn't Get The Latest Memo About The Chevy Volt

Posted by Ellen · March 26, 2012 2:20 PM · 3 reactions

Ruh-roh! I reported earlier that Steve Doocy and the Fox & Friends graphics department embraced the Chevy Volt this morning as if they had loved the car all along. But it looks as though Fox Nation didn't get the memo. Its top "fired up" story is now More Problems For The Chevy Volt. Even worse, Fox Nation is reiterating talking points that were debunked just a few hours earlier on Fox News.

Steve Doocy Suddenly Loves The Chevy Volt

Posted by Ellen · March 26, 2012 1:51 PM · 1 reaction

You can hardly watch a Fox News segment on energy without hearing a knock on the Chevy Volt, an electric vehicle, as some kind of example of the Obama administration run amok. But suddenly – and without explanation – Fox & Friends Steve Doocy couldn’t say enough good things about the car, now that a conservative PR guy was there talking it up.

Johnny Dollar: Obsessed Cyberstalker Or Paid Troll?

Posted by Ellen · March 26, 2012 2:56 AM · 17 reactions

Why is Johnny Dollar (real name: Mark Koldys) obsessed with me and this blog? For at least the third time, he’s got my photo posted on his site. He has two quotes from me on his “about” page and has made God knows how many tweets and other posts about me. He has been stuck on News Hounds pretty much from our beginnings in 2004. We banned him from posting here numerous times but that has not stopped him from poring over every word and semi-colon in the hope of pouncing on any possible misstatement or mistake and then trumpeting us as liars or some other “pet” name.

Who Really Benefits From Geraldo Rivera’s War On Trayvon Martin’s Hoodie?

Posted by Ellen · March 25, 2012 7:30 PM · 8 reactions

I will admit that Geraldo Rivera has a point about the perils of minority youngsters dressing like gangsters. But everything about his scolding that Trayvon Martin’s hoodie was “as much responsible for his death as (shooter) George Zimmerman” smacks of opportunism – his own and Fox News’ – more than any concern for preventing any similar tragedies in the future. It’s certainly not likely to help the Martin family – or any of the millions of Americans feeling sympathy and solidarity with them – during their hour of grief. More likely, it will help Fox News move the narrative away from a host of pitfalls for its conservative agenda (gun violence, racism, police malfeasance toward people of color) and back to the more comfortable ground of blaming minorities for their problems. Oh, yeah, and it’s gotten Rivera a lot of extra attention, too.

Has Fox News Stopped Selling Hoodies?

Posted by Ellen · March 25, 2012 3:36 PM · 1 reaction

In the wake of Geraldo Rivera's comments that Trayvon Martin's death was caused "as much" by his wearing a hoodie as by the man who shot him, BuzzFeed noted that FoxNews.com sold these dangerous hoodies. However, in solidarity with Rivera, Fox seems to have stopped selling tthis "gang paraphernalia." (H/T Think Progress)

Posted by Brian and Ellen · March 24, 2012 2:21 PM · 10 reactions

Dr. Monica Crowley announced smugly on Your World Wednesday (3/22/12) that she would vote for a pineapple over President Obama. She thereby proved once again that having a Ph.D. does not preclude anyone from being a dolt.

Geraldo Rivera Continues His War On Trayvon Martin's Hoodie

Posted by Ellen · March 24, 2012 2:23 AM · 10 reactions

Geraldo Rivera was on The O’Reilly Factor last night where he continued to blame Trayvon Martin’s hoodie for his death. Bill O’Reilly at first acted as though he were merely probing Rivera’s thoughts and why they caused such an uproar after he brought up the subject in both a Fox Latino column and on Fox & Friends earlier in the day. But soon O’Reilly made it clear he was in solidarity with Rivera because O’Reilly, too, had been misunderstood over his comments about the way a rape and murder victim had dressed – comments that O’Reilly now refashioned.

Hannity’s Pal Peterson: Trayvon Martin Outrage Is About Blacks Getting Even With Whites

Posted by Ellen · March 23, 2012 10:00 PM · 1 reaction

Sean Hannity’s slavery-apologist pal, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, has offered his thoughts on the Trayvon Martin shooting – and not surprisingly they are not sympathetic to the African Americans who have expressed grief and outrage: “It’s about getting even with whites and gaining political power.”
