Fox News Hypocrisy: Dana Perino Vs Gov. Andrew Cuomo
As Jon Stewart once said, "conservative victimization is the true genius of what Fox News has accomplished." So it makes sense that those on Fox News, who perpetuate the constant right wing victimization, would have their nice white panties in a bunch over NY Governor Andrew Cuomo's comment about how Republican extremists aren't in synch with the NY electorate. Among the Fox extremists who feel that the Governor is targeting them personally is Sean Hannity. When he whined about eventually leaving NY, Dana Perino said that unnamed "they" won't care if he does so because "they hate you." Wait a minute, I seem to remember that this same Dana Perino blithely suggested that a group of folks, whom she's not particularly fond of, leave not just NY - but the country!
Read moreMegyn Kelly Jumps On ‘Unvetted’ James O’Keefe Video To Attack Wendy Davis
Megyn Kelly, “truth detector,” seemed a lot more interested in attacking Texas’ Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis than in sniffing out facts last night. Even as Kelly acknowledged that an anti-Davis video produced by the very suspect James O’Keefe organization was “unvetted,” she promoted it. Then, in an interview about the video with Davis’ opponent, Greg Abbott, Kelly repeatedly prodded him to go after Davis more aggressively than he obviously wanted.
Read moreO’Reilly Turns To Megyn Kelly To Validate His ‘School Teacher Porn’ Position
After getting a shellacking from Kirsten Powers two nights ago, O’Reilly cued up Megyn Kelly to validate him discuss the issue of a school teacher caught reading pornography on the job again last night. Well, well, well.
Read moreWhat Megyn Kelly Should Have Told Her Audience About Glenn Beck’s Financial Motive To Be A ‘Uniter’
You know how I didn’t believe Glenn Beck’s sudden claim to regret being so divisive? Well, it turns out he has a financial incentive to change his stripes. And somehow, in three different segments aired by the Kelly File this week, self-appointed “truth detector” Megyn Kelly didn’t say a word about that.
Read moreRoger Ailes' Day Was Just Ruined
Gabriel Sherman's unauthorized biography of Fox News' Roger Ailes is now an official New York Times bestseller. While this is great news for those of us who care about the state of our news media, this is bound to be very upsetting to Mr. Ailes, himself. You may recall Ailes fired his close aide, allegedly over leaks to Sherman, and canceled Sherman's subscription to the newspaper owned by Ailes and run by his wife.
Read moreMike Huckabee, Women's Libidos, And 'Uncle Sugar' (Oh My!)
After the 2012 drubbing that the GOP took among young women, the RNC solons acknowledged that they need to improve their standing with women who were turned off by "biologically stupid" remarks made by GOP candidates whose comments about rape were, uh, batshit crazy. The GOP recently conducted training sessions on how to speak to and about women - seriously - Doonesbury satirized it nicely. But despite this effort to raise the level of discourse, it would appear that some in the GOP patriarchy still don't get it. Last Saturday, Fox's Mike Huckabee, a possible presidential candidate, talked about how real women don't need "demeaning" free birth control because having babies is what's really important for women's empowerment. And being the expert on women that he is, he said that the women he knows aren't like us pro-choice slutty sluts who are "slaves to their libido." And today, at an RNC meeting, he did it again!
Read moreBill O’Reilly: Boy, I’d Like To Hit Sarah Silverman With A Pie
Comedian Sarah Silverman has a video out that has given Fox News a new excuse to rail against the pro-choice community. In it, Silverman is visited by a Jesus who tells her, “Fertilized eggs aren’t people. People are people.” On tonight’s O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly didn’t just object, he announced – with blatant hostility – that he’d like to throw a pie at her.
Read moreEric Bolling: Only Sharpton And The NAACP Perpetrate Racism
Let’s be honest. At this point, saying that Fox News is racist is kinda like saying the sky is blue. A few of this week’s Martin Luther King Day segments, alone, make the case: serial race baiting, Bill O’Reilly whitesplaining race, a pastor painting President Obama as a prelude to the Antichrist, and using MLK’s niece to attack Obama and women’s rights. But yesterday, Eric Bolling insisted that racism is the fault of the NAACP and “the Al Sharptons of the world.”
Read moreSean Hannity Might Run For Political Office - After He Moves Out Of New York
Sean Hannity revealed on Fox News two nights ago that he is considering running for political office. That is, once he gets around to leaving New York and moving to Texas or Florida.
Read moreOn Fox 'News' - Brit Hume Rants About How Abortion Kills Babies!
If you've ever driven by a Planned Parenthood or abortion clinic, you've seen the throngs of people screaming at the women who are trying to enter the building. In trying to shame women out of having an abortion, these "side walk counselors" frequently "counsel" that these women, who have made an informed decision based on their circumstances, are "killing their babies" - an emotional phrase, based on one particular religious view, that has inspired every abortion doctor murderer and clinic attacker in this country. And now, thanks to Fox News, those who condemn women and doctors as "baby killers," have received further validation for their crusade to control women. Last night, Fox News' éminence grise Brit Hume reinforced the inflammatory narrative about "baby killing" and in so doing demonstrated how the "fair & balanced" news network is the mouthpiece for a very real war on women. Don't ya just love it when rich, aging, Christian men of Fox News lecture us gals about our lady parts!
