Fox's resident psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Ablow, is actually a real doctor. But that he is also playing a Fox News propagandist is evident in his personal attacks, couched as psychiatric evaluations, which are directed towards those who meet with Fox's disapproval. These alleged clinical assessments, which might be a violation of the American Psychiatric Association Code of Professional Ethics, have been used to smear Chaz Bono, Bill Maher, and Media Matters' David Brock. Recently, Ablow, in advancing the Fox/right wing meme about undeserving dark skinned welfare recipients, smeared President Obama with a "diagnosis" that Obama has a "victim mentality" as a result of having been abandoned by his father. The attack did not go unnoticed. In a stinging and hilarious piece of satire, Stephen Colbert provided his own virtual analysis of Ablow which focused on Ablow's potty training issues!
