Fox News 'Business' Show, Your World, Focused Exclusively On NSA
Although Fox News describes Neil Cavuto's Your World as a daily "financial program," financial news was hard to find yesterday. Unless you count a segment about the IRS possibly seizing medical records. A rundown of the topics reveals a certain obsessive focus - and it's not financial.
Read moreHannity Exploits Sarah Murnaghan’s Lung Transplant To Bash Obama Administration And Kathleen Sebelius
Let me say that while I certainly hope that little Sarah Murnaghan’s life is saved by the double lung transplant she just received, I’m far less thrilled with the way her family shoved her to the front of the line and cozied up to conservatives and Fox News to get their way. Now that the young girl was given preference over some adult (and the heck with his or her story), Sean Hannity was a vision of altruistic beneficence last night. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact the girl became a Republican cause célèbre asking for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to grant special treatment. But even amidst all that selfless compassion, Hannity just couldn’t turn down the opportunity to use the moment to attack the Obama administration.
Read moreAnn Coulter’s Anti-Hispanic Rant: They’re Anti-Semitic, Capitalism Haters Who Will Ruin The Country If Immigration Reform Passes
Ann Coulter visited the Hannity show tonight to discuss her opposition to the Senate immigration reform bill – and the Republicans who support it. But Coulter worked herself into such a lather of incendiary invective that she lashed out at Hispanics as a whole, calling them anti-capitalism and pro choice. She also made the dubious claim that foreign-born Hispanics are “the most anti-Semitic in the country.”
Read moreBrian Kilmeade Is A White Supremacist Supporter?
It would appear that Fox's Brian Kilmeade, "the dark haired guy who isn't Steve Doocy," has some issues involving Islam. He was quite the standard bearer for Fox News' campaign against the so called "Ground Zero Mosque" and even tweeted about how "outraged" "we" were about this "problem." After the Boston bombing, he recommended that all mosques should be bugged. When Kilmeade said that "all Muslims are terrorists," a comment for which he offered a half-hearted apology, it didn't seem to be just a careless mistake but a sentiment straight from the heart. But who knew that he supports white supremacy? We know now because, as reported on Media Matters, Kilmeade gave a full throated endorsement, during his radio show yesterday, to Stephen Laxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson, head of the white supremacist English Defense League which, like Kilmeade, is anti-Muslim. And that's obviously why Kilmeade told him that "we got your back."
Read moreHere Comes The Fox News Martyring Of George Zimmerman
After some of the most blatant and deliberate demonization of Trayvon Martin, Fox News is now setting up his killer, George Zimmerman, as a media martyr. For extra agenda points, the “fair and balanced” network is exploiting the whole thing as another excuse to belligerently howl about the “liberal media.”
Read moreFox Suggests That SNAP Food Benefits Promote Promiscuity Among Welfare Queens
Sean Hannity and his guests bent over backwards last night not to look like they were race baiting over the sensationalized case of a black man who fathered 22 children by “at least” 14 women. So instead, they made him a poster child for everything wrong with welfare and welfare recipients. Not surprisingly, nobody bothered to note that he’s far from typical.
Read moreFox News: Trayvon Martin Could Have Killed People With Skittles Or Iced Tea
In yet another attempt to “be fair” (Fox News style) to George Zimmerman – and demonize Trayvon Martin - Fox News guest Doug Burns raised the suggestion – in all seriousness – that Martin could have used his Skittles and/or iced tea as a lethal weapon that justified Zimmerman fatally shooting him.
Read moreGretchen 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."
