Fox’s Ridiculous Coffee Cup Salute Controversy
Forget supporting our president in a time of war – you know, the way we were supposed to when George W. Bush was president. Fox is not only happily maligning Obama as much as ever, the “We like America” network has fixed on the most trivial, most unimportant and hypocritical of excuses: Obama saluted the troops while holding a coffee cup.

In case you’re not up on the case of UVA student Hannah Graham, the latest missing blonde story in the news, an arrest warrant was issued for an African American man named Jesse Matthew today. There was no indication Matthew’s grandmother had anything to do with the crime. Yet a Fox News reporter and contributor ambushed her at home and demanded to know if she had talked to Matthew.

Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer diagnosed President Obama as a narcissist recently. And oh, I'll bet he wishes Stephen Colbert hadn't been listening.
Read more'Outnumbered' Religion Discussion Hosted By Anti-Semitic Christian Actor?!
In any discussion of religion, who better to provide Fox News with incisive commentary than Kevin Sorbo a washed-up actor whose credits include "Hercules," "Andromeda," Kull the Conqueror," and this year's boffo Christian hit, "God's Not Dead." And lest you think that Sorbo's cosmological grasp is wanting, he has earned his Fox Christian creds by denouncing atheists and, in keeping with millennia of anti-Semitic Christian tradition, has provided his theological opinion that Jews are Christ killers. And while he doesn't share uber-Catholic watchdog Bill Donohue's view that Hollywood Jews love anal sex, he ascribes the lack of Christian movies to, uh, the Jews who "run" Hollywood! Today, as #oneluckyguy, he shared his deeply Christian views with his fellow Fox Christians and for that we are deeply thankful.
Read moreFox’s Unfair, Unbalanced Discussion Of The People’s Climate March
Yesterday, Fox’s Your World discussed the People’s Climate March with a “ fair and balanced” lineup of two climate deniers and one march supporter. Host Neil Cavuto made it three-on-one.
Read moreNeil Cavuto's Capitalism Worshipping Priest Pal Says Multiculturalism, Secularism Fuel ISIS
Fox News' close connection to the most conservative elements in the Catholic Church is underscored by its stable of Catholic priests, such as Fr. Jonathan Morris, Fr. Gerald Murray, and Fr. Frank Pavone who reliably parrot rightwing (and Catholic) talking points. But the frequent presence, on Fox Business and Neil Cavuto's show, of the Ayn Rand defending, anti-union, anti-safety net Fr. Robert Sirico, shows that Fox is also very close to extreme free market advocates who are very close to the Koch brothers. Earlier this month, Cavuto hosted Sirico, along with another guest, to peddle a right wing message which, as Newshounds Brian reported, seems to be a very big Fox deal; i.e. how American multiculturalism and secularism is contributing to the growth of ISIS. Funny, there was a time, in America, when those in power thought that Catholic immigrants were a problem
Read moreFox’s Hegseth: ‘General’ Valerie Jarrett In Charge Of U.S. Military Strategy Against ISIS
Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth visited The Kelly File last night minutes before it was revealed that U.S. airstrikes against ISIS in Syria had commenced. Nevertheless, the whole operation was a failure before it even began, Hegseth would have you think. Host Megyn Kelly ate up every word.
Read moreRep. Peter King Tells Fox: Now That Airstrikes In Syria Have Begun, It’s Important We Support The President
Tonight, as the news broke that the United States had begun airstrikes in Syria, along with a coalition of five Sunni Arab countries, Megyn Kelly did her best to malign President Obama even as her Republican guest, Rep. Peter King, told her that it’s important for us to “come together” and “support the president” now.

Didn’t you just know that it was only a matter of time until someone on Fox News made the White House fence jumping breach of security about Benghazi? Today’s (dis)honors go to Outnumbered host Harris Faulkner.
Read moreElisabeth Hasselbeck Wants To Impose A Civics Test On Voters
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is very disturbed over Americans’ ignorance about civics. But rather than push for better civics education, Hasselbeck’s “solution” is to restrict voting rights to those who can pass a test. The not-so-funny thing is that Hasselbeck either missed the irony or was too ignorant about civics, herself, to know that such a test was banned by the Voting Rights Act.
