Hannity And Guests Use Unscientific “Survey” To Attack Occupy Wall Street Protesters And Democrats

Just as Bill O’Reilly did a few days later, Sean Hannity cited a New York Magazine “survey” of 100 Occupy Wall Street protesters as some kind of scientific poll. New York Magazine never made the claim that the 100 interviews it conducted nor the results it tabulated into an article represented any kind of valid or accurate sampling. But Hannity and his “journalist” guests Jedediah Bila and Rich Lowry nevertheless seized upon the article as some kind of proof that the 99% movement are a bunch of America-hating fringers representative of the Democratic Party.

Greta Van Susteren Attacks Colleague Tucker Carlson Over Mike Tyson’s Comments About BFF Sarah Palin

For the record, I totally agree with Greta Van Susteren that Mike Tyson’s recent comments about Sarah Palin were disgusting. But in a lengthy blog post, Van Susteren went after not Tyson but her Fox News colleague, Tucker Carlson, proprietor of the Daily Caller website, for posting about them. (H/T Mediaite). Van Susteren wrote: I don’t like it when I see that my friends do disgraceful things – but we need to start calling out even our friends to stop this. Tucker has daughters and a wife and I would think he in particular would not want to be a purveyer of smut (and this is actually more, this is violence against women) and allow this to be posted on his website. OK, fine – admirable of Van Susteren, even. But where’s her outrage when the attacks are against Nancy Pelosi? Or Rosie O’Donnell? Or, for that matter, when violence is threatened against liberal men?

Cavuto Gives The Buzzer To Democrats

By Brian

Neil Cavuto showed his petulant, childish side yesterday (4/12/11) by showing off a buzzer he said he will use on anyone he thinks is wrong. He went on to play a series of clips of “over the top” statements by politicians that he buzzed, sometimes multiple times. Guess which party’s leaders were shown?

The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart Responds to Glenn Beck

That didn’t take long. Yesterday News Hounds reported Glenn Beck’s irrational answer to a simple question by Meredith Vieira. The whacky response did not go unnoticed by its subject. When Jon Stewart heard the following exchange on whether Beck regretted any of his hateful eliminationist rhetoric, he actually invited Beck onto his show:

Glenn Beck Compares Himself to The Simpsons, Jon Stewart: Comedy Is Comedy

Glenn Beck has finally confirmed two long-held contentions at News Hounds: The Beckerino [with apologies to Steve Allen] revealed himself as both a comedian and liar. Beck is now trying to cover his own tracks with his new self-help book co-written with Dr. Keith Ablow. [Title found where good books are found…sadly.] To pimp his latest opus, Beck’s been all over the dial with the good Doctor, also a frequent guest on Beck’s Tee Vee Carnival.
