Greta Van Susteren, in Sanford, Florida for the George Zimmerman trial, spent more than nine minutes last night throwing softballs at Zimmerman attorney Mark O’Mara. Some of her questions included “asking” for “the best thing that happened for the defense.” The segment not only contrasted sharply with her interview with a Martin-family attorney but it lasted almost twice as long. Oh, and Van Susteren’s main concern seemed to be that the Martin family would not properly accept an acquittal. Almost as if the acquittal is a given.

Need any more proof of Fox News' pro-Zimmerman bias? Take a look at the top stories on their websites, FoxNews.com and Fox Nation. On the former, there's a pro-Zimmerman headline, "Pal testifies that Zimmerman said Martin grabbed his gun." On Fox Nation, there's a photo of a thuggish-looking Trayvon Martin with the anti-Martin headline, "Trayvon Martin's Legal Troubles Reportedly Covered Up By Police." By the way, those "legal troubles" involve graffiti and an empty marijuana bag. Neither have anything to do with Martin's behavior the night he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman.

Official Fox clergyman, Fr. Jonathan Morris is hot for Tim Tebow - but in a chaste, Catholic, and heterosexual way, of course. When Fox News was pimping the Christian right whine that the mocking of the sainted Tim Tebow's ostentatious Christianity reflects a greater "war on Christians," Fr. Morris was there to defend and slobber over his boo who, on Fox "News," attained a cult like status. And now that the evil ACLU prevailed on a Michigan public high school to ban its team from doing a mid-field, post game Tebowing, the poor little padre, a big fan of unconstitutional school prayer, isn't happy. Awww...

Those America lovers at Fox Nation have gotten into the 4th of July spirit - by "asking" if we're in a "pre-revolutionary state." The article lists a number of complaints about President Obama before concluding, "Tahrir Square anyone?" (H/T Media Matters) 

Cue up the "Megyn Kelly moving to prime time" rumor machine. Amid speculation that Kelly is being groomed to take over Greta Van Susteren's 10 PM primetime spot on Fox News, Mediaite is reporting that Van Susteren initiated talks to return to her former network, CNN.

During a discussion of the George Zimmerman trial tonight, one of Greta Van Susteren’s guests, a former homicide detective, raised an excellent question about George Zimmerman’s behavior the night he shot and killed Trayvon Martin: why did Zimmerman really get out of his car? But Van Susteren was so quick to validate Zimmerman’s explanation (that he was looking for a street address) and then move on, she never took the time to consider the implications of Zimmerman's behavior.

As Fox News is America's "pro-life" news network, it is only fitting that alleged Fox "news" host Martha MacCallum is very upfront about her "pro-life" views which encompass the lie that Plan B induces abortion. In validating and supporting the anti-abortion movement, she is always willing to validate their talking points. Such was the case, this morning, when she and her pro-life panel attacked Texas State Senator, Wendy Davis, for her advocacy in defending a Texas women's right to a safe and legal abortion, something which will be greatly curtailed if the Texas "pro-life" bill passes - a reality that Martha & co. dismissed. But what was worse was how MacCallum just couldn't understand why abortion access is so important. Of course, if abortion is criminalized, wealthy white women like Martha, will have no problem obtaining a "procedure" from a reputable doctor while at the same time poor women, many of them minorities, will die in back alley abortions. This could happen, in Texas, if the bill passes. And Fox News thinks that there's no war on women? As the awesome Melissa Harris-Perry would say, "Wow, Seriously?!

Move over persecuted Christians. There are some new victims in Fox town. In response to women's empowerment, a movement has emerged which seeks to empower men to put those uppity bitches in their place. The "men's rights" movement is a backlash against changing gender roles and norms which threaten traditional masculinity. So it's not surprising that Fox's morning show that champions "traditional" values would, last week, interview a female clinician who champions men's rights. Funny, when Sandra Fluke spoke out against the discriminatory practices of employers who refuse to provide contraceptive coverage, Fox talkers accused her of being a "poster child for whiny entitlement." But when a clinician advances the whine that men are a bunch of underachieving schlubs "checking out of society" because of uppity bitches, it's all good...Oh, and Brian Kilmeade is upset that men are portrayed, on TV, as idiots. Oh, the irony!

Poor, persecuted Christian Todd Starnes (who almost certainly makes a very nice living with despite his victimhood) has a new excuse to drum up fear and loathing against anyone slightly to the left of his views – which, by his own admission is most of America. The reason this time? Facebook temporarily removed one of his posts before reinstating it with an apology. That was all the reason Starnes needed to initiate a pity party on the curvy couch of Fox & Friends this morning.

As I posted a few days ago, Fox News has dispensed with the need for a jury because they already “know” George Zimmerman is not guilty. On Friday (6/28/13), one week into what is expected to be a two to four week trial, no less than three Fox News hosts announced that the verdict is in: Zimmerman not guilty. Sean Hannity, a college drop out, announced, “As far as I’m concerned, this case is over today.”
