Ann Coulter Advises Monica Lewinsky: Convert To Christianity
Ann Coulter may have called Bill Clinton “a very good rapist” and “scumbag” but that’s no reason to think she wouldn’t be fair and balanced enough to go on Fox’s Hannity show and share her thoughts on Monica Lewinsky’s just-penned article in Vanity Fair.
Read moreTo Laura Ingraham, Nigerian Schoolgirl Kidnapping Is All About Benghazi And Hillary Clinton
The kidnapping of about 300 hundred Nigerian schoolgirls by a Nigerian extremist group called Boko Haram is now officially about Benghazi on The O’Reilly Factor. Oh, and it’s also Hillary Clinton’s fault. Or close enough to say so, as far as Fox is concerned.
Read moreFox Uses Benghazi To Rehabilitate Donald Rumsfeld - Again
In case you haven’t noticed, at the same time that Fox News has been exploiting the Benghazi tragedy as the worst scandal since Watergate, it has also been working to whitewash the record of lies and missteps of Iraq war architect Donald Rumsfeld. Yesterday, Rumsfeld got yet another friendly platform from which to attack Obama over Benghazi - and which also served to bolster his own national security bona fides.
Read moreAn Outraged Megyn Kelly Validates Outraged Parent Arrested For Disrupting School Board Meeting Over 'Pornographic' Book
When a Muslim parent objected to a possible First Amendment violation involving a public school promotion of an Easter egg hunt, at a Christian church, Fox treated his complaint with derision. But a parent who thinks his First Amendment rights have been violated because his behavior at a school board meeting resulted in his arrest is being given hero status on Fox News. William Baer's case has become a cause célèbre in the dark netherworld of the public school hating right wing, so it's not surprising that Fox would give him a national platform from which to whine about his unfair treatment at the hands of a school system that permits high school students to read about, gasp, sex. Megyn Kelly was so outraged that she covered this on two shows. I suspect that if the parent had been Muslim and had objected to, uh, anything, the story would be treated quite differently...
Read moreEric Bolling’s Made-Up Benghazi And Bin Laden Conspiracy Theory Gets The Colbert Treatment
Last night, Stephen Colbert aired – for millions of people to watch and laugh at – a clip of Fox News host Eric Bolling pulling a “passionate, heartfelt conspiracy theory” tying Benghazi to Osama Bin Laden “straight out of (Bolling’s) ass.” Devastating-to-Fox comedy ensued.
Read moreHow Fox Used Sen. Warren’s Student Loan Bill To Campaign Against Student Loans Altogether
Fox’s Your World pretended to discuss a bill proposed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren allowing students to refinance their student loans a few days ago. But the show chose as its only guest a Fox Business Network host who used his time on the show to argue that government-provided student loans should just be abolished.
Read moreFox Pundits Blame Nigerian Schoolgirl Kidnapping Partly On Benghazi
Fox host Laura Ingraham won tonight’s “Make Any Story About Benghazi” award when she suggested Benghazi was partly to blame for the recent kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls. For extra Fox News credit, regular guest Zuhdi Jasser attacked John Kerry, too. To listen to Jasser and Ingraham, you might think the Obama administration was almost the sole cause of the Nigerian kidnapping and all other Islamic radicalism.
Read moreVan Susteren Misses The Point Of Jon Stewart’s Benghazi Skewering
Greta Van Susteren took to her blog to defend Fox News after Jon Stewart’s scorching takedown of her employer’s obsession with Benghazi. How? By trying to make Democrats look bad.
Read moreLynne Cheney: Monica Lewinksy Came Forward Now To Help Hillary Clinton
Lynne Cheney - wife of the torture-lovin', WMDs-toutin' former vice president - promoted a new line that is almost as certainly as valid as the excuse to invade Iraq: that Monica Lewinsky has come forward now in order to help Hillary Clinton's upcoming 2016 presidential campaign. Not surprisingly, Fox host Laura Ingraham bought the idea just like her network bought the Iraq war.
Read moreOn The Five: Woman Who Filmed Abortion Slut Shamed With Anti-Choice Lies, Propaganda
Fox News actively supports the agenda of those who seek to limit women's reproductive rights. Fox & Friends provided a generous platform for opponents of the ACA's birth control mandate. *Fox continues to promote the lie that emergency birth control is abortion. Megyn Kelly trashed pro-choice TX gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis when she stood (literally) against the draconian TX abortion bill. Bill O'Reilly relentlessly attacked an abortion provider (even after Dr. Tiller's murder), maligned Planned Parenthood and women who have abortions. Fox obsessed about the Dr. Gosnell case and equated his practice with legal abortion. But Fox's "The Five," which proudly proclaims its anti-choice agenda, seems to have become Fox's newest "pro-life" champion. Recently, the show focused its ire on a woman who was contemplating abortion as a career move. Last night, the slut shaming continued with an attack on a woman who filmed her own abortion in order to counteract the type of anti-choice agitprop articulated on this edition of The Five. Surprisingly, Benghazi wasn't mentioned!
