The screen grab from the home page of FoxNews.com pretty much says it all. President Obama's surprise visit to Afghanistan is discussed in small letters. But a headline many times larger "asks," PLAYING POLITICS WITH THE COURAGE OF OUR HEROES?" It's worth noting that, as NewsHound Alex pointed out in a comment, Shepard Smith and Studio B took a very even-handed approach to this story. But I'll bet dollars to doughnuts (as my mother used to say) that O'Reilly, Hannity and Van Susteren will follow the FoxNews.com lede.

Why is Obama arriving in Afghanistan “URGENT”? That’s a word I usually associate with offers for erectile dysfunction pills.

I guess it would be a waste of time to remind them of Bushâs trip to Iran during Thanksgiving weekend 2003 and the famous phony turkey photo-op picture. Not to mention that he was so beloved that on his last trip before he left office and was welcomed with the flying shoes.

Just saw Shep Smith talking about this on Studio B. He’s pissed off that politicians in general are politicizing this. He didn’t single out President Obama – didn’t exclude him, either – but made it very clear that he was blaming politicians of every stripe, saying that it had nothing to do with Democrat or Republican or left or right.
Guess he’ll be called into Ailes’ office again this evening for “the chat”.

A picture is worth 1,000 words about Fox News' anti-Obama bias.
