Kirsten Powers Smacks Down O’Reilly’s Attack On Pornography-Viewing Teacher
Kirsten Powers was nothing less than magnificent on The O’Reilly Factor last night. She took on both Bill O’Reilly and conservative guest Kate Obenshain over O’Reilly’s attempt to smear a Wisconson public school, a teacher and its teachers union over the reinstatement of the teacher after he was caught looking at pornography on school grounds.
Read moreGlenn Back Fear Mongers: Obama’s ‘Dangerous Use Of Power’ Will Lead To A Violent Overthrow
Just one day after Glenn Beck portrayed himself as a uniter, contrite about his past as a divider, he was back on The Kelly File with incendiary rhetoric about President Obama’s “dangerous use of power” and concern trolling that there might be some kind of political violence that would “overthrow” a political party. Host Megyn Kelly listened with rapt, unchallenging attention.
Read moreOn Hannity: Fr. Jonathan Morris Smears Gov. Cuomo By Suggesting He Is Anti-Catholic
Roger Ailes and NY's Cardinal Dolan are friends with benefits in that their close personal relationship has resulted in some sweet quid-pro-quo's courtesy of the "fair & balanced" news network. In giving the bishops nationally televised support for their opposition to "Obamacare," Ailes is able to put the Catholic seal of approval on what are also GOP talking points with the hope that more Catholics will vote Republican. The quid-pro-quo is also reflected in the frequent presence, on Fox, of NY priest (Columbia chaplain) Fr. Jonathan Morris who is always ready to provide a nexus between Catholic and right wing talking points. And because of Morris' cult following popularity, Ailes gets more viewers. Sweet. Last night, during a Hannity rant about why he doesn't heart NY because of that nasty Governor Cuomo who hates godly conservatives, Morris, once again, showed us why he sits at the right hand of Roger Ailes - spiritually speaking, or course.
Read moreHannity To New York: Good Bye Cruel World… Eventually
Sean Hannity is threatening to leave New York because he doesn’t want to pay his taxes, give up any of his guns’ ammo or live in the same state as Andrew Cuomo. He may go to Florida or Texas, Hannity says, but he’s definitely leaving. Well, not immediately. He’s got too many obligations. But as soon as he can he will. For sure.
Read moreBill Hemmer Validates Conservative Hissy Fit Over Gov. Cuomo 'Extremist' Comment
For the perpetually aggrieved right wing, there ain't no party like a pity party. And now that NY Governor Andrew Cuomo spoke about about how extremists Republicans will not fare well in NY, the right wing has been having one giant kegger. I don't know if it's because of excessive sensitivity or pure stupidity, but the church of the perpetually outraged immediately took the quote out of context in order to accuse Cuomo of saying that pro-lifers and pro-gun types (life and death and all that?) are not welcome in NY. Sean Hannity has threatened to takes his gazillions and move to a more receptive state. (Buh-by) and Todd Starnes is fulminating, on his twitter, about how Cuomo's jack booted thugs will be coming to take him away. (Buh-by) Yesterday, alleged "news" anchor and Tim Tebow fanboy Bill Hemmer kept the party going!
Read moreGlenn Beck Says He Regrets Being So Divisive
Megyn Kelly conducted a slobbering interview with hate monger extraordinaire Glenn Beck tonight. As Part Two of the interview, she asked him to reflect on his time at Fox and tell the audience what he remembers. Watch his answer and tell me if you believe his remorse.
Read moreEvery Fox News Prime Time Show Race Baited Obama On MLK Day - And Democratic Guests Let Them
Fox News continued its tradition of using Martin Luther King Day to race bait last night. All four of Fox News’ prime time shows seized on President Obama’s race comments in a New Yorker interview and distorted them in order to accuse him or being the race baiter. And nether of the two Democratic guests robustly called out Fox on this despicable tactic.

Listen up, black folks. Bill O'Reilly has a Martin Luther King Day message for you: now that Barack Obama is president, race is no longer allowed to be a big deal.
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: Alveda King Uses MLK Birthday to Smear Pres. Obama With Anti-Choice Lies
While there are still a number of African-American leaders who were close to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement, Fox News chooses to honor Dr. King's message by trotting out his right wing niece, Alveda King, every year, on Dr. King's birthday. Some, in the black community, criticize her politics. When she openly embraced the race baiting politics of Glenn Beck, African-American author Earl Ofari Hutchinson wrote that she "is turning MLK's dream into a nightmare." But her right wing zealotry and her connection to MLK make her a hot commodity on Fox where she is utilized to promote right wing talking points and bash the President - all in the guise of promoting her famous uncle's message. Yesterday, rather than talking about how MLK provided a framework for today's talk about income inequality, Alveda King, once again, used her annual appearance to promote the pro-life propaganda and lies which are also quite popular on Fox "News."

Who knew that part of Megyn Kelly's job as a "non-opinion" Fox News host included playing defense attorney for Chris Christie? Funny how she forgot to mention that when she talked about her prime time role at Fox.
