At the end of Special Report’s “All-Star” Panel Wednesday (5/2/12), panelist Charles Krauthammer ended with this sentence. “Jimmy Carter is the Republican(s') Herbert Hoover. The Democrats flogged Hoover for 30 years, we’ve got just about a few years left to go after Carter.”

“Objective” Fox News host Martha MacCallum inserted her seal of approval to Republican Congressman Darrell Issa yesterday during their discussion of possibly citing Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt.

Kudos to journalist Rula Jebreal for challenging Fox News’ bias on Fox & Friends today. During a discussion on President Obama’s foreign policy and the killing of Osama Bin Laden, co-host Steve Doocy and Fox News contributor Angela McGlowan plus Obama-critic/Iraq War Cheerleader Fouad Ajami ran the gamut from – Surprise! Surprise! – skeptical to outright condemnatory of Obama. But Jebreal threw them off their talking points when she asked, “Why attack the man over something that actually benefits the American people? …Why attack him… only because you are Fox News. Let’s be honest about this.”

John Bolton, Jay Sekulow and Walid Phares are all regular guests on Fox News, presented as analysts to discuss foreign affairs, legal issues and Middle East/terrorism issues, respectively. Yet what you rarely find out from the "we report, you decide" network is that each of these gentlemen are advisors to the Mitt Romney Campaign. Bolton and Phares are paid Fox News contributors.

And who better to give a fair and balanced analysis of Obama's record than Herman Cain? 

Apparently, bullyboy Sean Hannity just couldn’t take a chance that his audience might not hate OWS protester Harrison Schultz. Because in the very next segment after what was billed as a  “shoot out” between Hannity and Schultz, Hannity stacked his “Great American Panel” with three like-minded conservatives and all four of them spent the next five minutes trashing Schultz and the Occupy movement. UPDATED WITH VIDEO OF PANEL DISCUSSION.

Dennis Miller visited The O'Reilly Factor for his regular Wednesday night gig last night. At about two minutes in, after smearing the Occupy Movement, their attention turned to "the chick running against Scott Brown," Elizabeth Warren.

Since the Trayvon Martin murder, Fox News seems to be making a full-time job of digging up news items about black people assaulting white people, and using them to bash the liberal media for selective reporting. Last night, Bill O’Reilly found another one: a tale of two reporters for the Pilot newspaper in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area, who were attacked by a mob of African-American men after their car stopped at a stoplight, and beaten sufficiently badly as to be off work for a week. What particularly outraged O’Reilly was that the reporters' own newspaper didn't report the crime for two weeks, and that police had not charged anybody (update: as of today, the paper reports, one person has been charged). 

Along with being Fox News' resident homophobe, Todd Starnes loves Jesus. In service to his BFF, Starnes provides front-line coverage for the patented Fox "war on Christianity." As a good Christian soldier, Starnes reminds us that today is National Prayer Day. Fox Nation has a link to his thoughts about how "judges are outlawing the faith that made this country great" which is news to me given that the Christian right and the Catholic bishops seem to be alive and kicking! He then channels the voice of "God" who wants his flock to abandon their "wicked ways" and exhorts Democrats and Republicans and Jews and Gentiles to kiss and have make-up sex. (Just kidding but that's the gist) Starnes' article is linked to on Fox Nation which, unlike Starnes, sees America as a place for Christians only as their headline, "Starnes: One Nation under God" is illustrated with a photo of praying hands holding a distinctly Christian cross. Jesus must be so happy with his pals at Fox Nation!

Politico has an interesting article out today called, GOPers flock to Roger Ailes's Office, detailing the more-than-cozy relationship between Ailes and Republicans. Although Fox News tried to downplay the connections, it's clear that the rank-and-file Republicans see it differently. "From leaders to lowly freshmen, Republicans are eager to get some face time with a powerful news executive whose megaphone can quickly shift the national debate... Unlike other news executives, Ailes carries an enormous amount of clout within a Republican Party that sees Fox News as the best way to get its message to the masses."
