Gretchen Carlson Pimps 'Patriotic' Tea Party Propaganda Coloring Book
Fox & Friends prides itself on its patriotism - particularly the kind of patriotism evinced by portly, mostly white, folks dressed in colonial garb whilst carrying posters of President Obama with a bone through his nose and other similar angry anti-Obama renderings. Back in 2010, a Missouri publishing house produced a kids coloring book about the Tea Party which was dubbed "kiddie propaganda art" that was described "semi-literate" in its presentation. The same publishing house also did a 9-11 coloring book that Muslim groups found offensive with its frequent linking of Islam to "freedom hating" terrorism. It was also factually incorrect as is the teabagging coloring book which has been described as "factually challenged." But according to a positively glowing Gretchen Carlson, on today's Fox & Friends, sales of this book are soaring after the recent controversy surrounding the alleged IRS teabag targeting. Once again, Fox & Friends doing a public service in promoting patriotic educational tools!

Read moreFox News Guest Blames Trayvon Martin’s ‘Street Attitude’ For His Death
Fox News’ demonization of Trayvon Martin – which just happens to coincide with the tactics of shooter George Martin's legal defense - continued today when a former police detective on Fox News Live, an online show, announced that “Trayvon Martin would be alive today, OK, if he didn’t, alright, have a street attitude."
Read moreMartha MacCallum, Dr. Manny Alvarez Engage In Fact Free Freak Out Over Plan B
Alleged "fair & balanced" "news" host, Martha MacCallum has expressed, on several occasions, her horror of emergency contraception because it makes slutty sluts even sluttier. When the Plan B age restriction was lowered to15, she was outraged and now that the Obama administration is complying with a GOP appointed judge's order to make it available to all women, regardless of age, poor Martha just can't deal with it. And neither can Fox's "Medical A team" member, Dr. Manny Alvarez who joined Martha, today, for another hissy fit which was used as yet another reason to blame President Obama for the demise of female health and virtue - despite the fact that the administration was complying with a court order not mentioned by the crack "fair & balanced" news and medical team of MacCallum and Alvarez.
Read moreLaura Ingraham: Emergency Contraception Encourages Rape, Pedophilia!
While young boys and girls can walk into a pharmacy and purchase condoms, the new HHS policy, which allows women and girls of any age to purchase "Plan B" emergency contraception, is throwing the Christian right into a total tizzy. After the Obama administration lowered the Plan B age (in violation of a court order which mandated that the drug be available to all ages) to 15, Fox's "The Five" whined that this would encourage "promiscuity"; and, according to the vehemently anti-choice Eric Bolling, would "cover up rapes." In other words, young girls who are sexually abused need to have that baby as evidence for the prosecution. Now that the HHS has complied with the court order, this morning, on Fox & Friends, "Pro-life Media Luminary, Laura Ingraham, provided yet another iteration of the crazy talk with her commentary that Plan B encourages rape and sexual abuse. True story!
Read moreHannity’s New-Found Love For Privacy - Now That Obama Is President
Sean Hannity was a vision of sanctimonious hypocrisy last night as he decried the NSA data mining efforts as an “unprecedented ability to spy on you, the American people” and he whined that “Big Brother is monitoring your every move whether it be online or on the telephone.” But Hannity’s concern for privacy seems very much to depend on which party is in the White House.
Read moreHannity Helps Publicize George Zimmerman’s Defense Video Demonizing Trayvon Martin
Just a few weeks after Megyn Kelly actively helped promote George Zimmerman’s attorney’s efforts to demonize Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman's shooting victim, Sean Hannity did his part for the Zimmerman defense team. Last night, Hannity selected a video the defense wants admitted into evidence as one of the three viewer choices for “video of the day” – and then gratuitously opined that the unflattering-to-Martin video should be admitted.
Read moreNeil Cavuto Unrepentant About Cutting Democrat Julian Epstein's Mic
Apparently, Neil Cavuto got quite a bit of pushback after he raged at and cut the microphone of Democrat Julian Epstein over the weekend. Cavuto read some of the emails he had received about it on the air today. Many were appalled at his behavior, some supportive. Cavuto was not only unapologetic, he doubled down. Oh, and guess which blog was prominently featured in a graphic mashup of the reaction?
Read moreGreta Van Susteren Calls On Others To Display Non-Partisan Independence – Despite Her Own Record Of GOP Pandering
Greta Van Susteren was part of the This Week roundtable yesterday where she hit every Fox News talking point Roger Ailes could have wished for: accusing President Obama of hypocrisy about NSA data mining, criticizing President Obama for not having the courage to “move forward” and stop blaming “the last guy” and complaining that the DOJ’s examination of Fox reporter James Rosen’s phone records means that reporters who publish leaks “are now going to be prosecuted” even though Rosen was never prosecuted and won’t be, e.g. But when she ventured into lecturing Democrats on partisanship and attacking Susan Rice for “just taking directive” and not asking questions before going on TV – well, critical-minded Fox watchers must have been guffawing across the country
Read moreMark Fuhrman Describes Trayvon Martin As A Possible ‘Dead Suspect’
Megyn Kelly held a discussion on America Live today about race and jury selection in the George Zimmerman trial over the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Instead of hosting an attorney, the guest was Mark Fuhrman – a slap in the face of African Americans if ever there was one. Even worse, as Kelly revealed her concern that the jury might be disproportionately black, Fuhrman repeatedly suggested that Zimmerman is the victim of a racial witch hunt and described Martin as “a dead victim or dead suspect” depending on “which side you’re on.” In fact, Martin is the dead victim, period. At worst, he’s a possible aggressor. But suspect? Only in Fox News’ white dreams.
