Fox News Showcases Dick Cheney In its Iraq Special
Friday night, Fox News aired a special report on Iraq. It was called, “Iraq and the Rise of a Terrorist State,” but it may as well have been called, “Why We Should Blame Obama And Not Bush/Cheney For The Problems In Iraq.” Driving that point home was a friendly, image-enhancing interview with Cheney himself.

Read moreFox News Sunday’s Stacked Panel Predictably Promotes Boehner’s Lawsuit Against Obama

Read moreFox Uses Economic Shrinking To Promote Corporate Tax Cuts

Read moreTodd Starnes Still Wants To Invade Mexico!
While, as an all-American patriot he supports the troops, Christian soldier Todd Starnes has never (officially?!) worn the couture of those who bravely serve our country. And while George W Bush's not so excellent adventure in Iraq resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, that doesn't stop our dear Toddles from banging the war drum for an invasion of yet another country. Starnes, like Bill O'Reilly, is upset that a US Marine is still being held in a Mexican jail on firearms charges - a concern not shown for Bowe Bergdahl when he was still being held by radical jihadists. But unlike Bill, who is calling for merely a boycott of Mexico, Starnes still wants an invasion. He really, really does...

And while in the real world, his ravings would be considered the expressions of a rabidly xenophobic, racist, and paranoid right winger, Fox News seems to think that he is actually legit. And given that Lynch's views correspond nicely with Fox's rabidly xenophobic, racist and paranoid audience, Fox News has no problem giving Lynch, who thinks that Cliven Bundy is a national treasure, a platform for his border hysteria and other crazy talk. Lynch has now produced a new film about - wait for it - liberal media bias. So are we surprised that the "fair & balanced" Fox News would help Lynch promote his latest journey through his xenophobic, racist, and paranoid world?! And did ya know that his films helped stopped immigration reform?!
