Friday was a historic moment. In the wake of his State of the Union speech President Obama gave a speech before the Republican House caucus. This had been arranged a while back; however, the White House contacted the GOP the night before to request the question and answer session following the speech be broadcast for [...]
I got a heads up yesterday from Media Matters that Fox News was up to a couple of shenanigans.
This is the one I find the most interesting because, while all the information presented is accurate, if you don’t pay careful attention it’ll lead the viewer to a false conclusion. Watch the clip and try to [...]
This clip is a bit dated. I think it’s from January 28th but I just ran across it for the first time.
While not the sexiest piece of propaganda spewing from Fox News I think it’s worth noting because I’ve been postulating a theory that Fox News can only tell one side of the global warming [...]
I’ve documented recently a number of examples of Fox News re-writing history. It appears history is just a device for the Foxies to validate conservative contemporary politics.
From time to time we feature LiberalViewer’s videos. In this one he points out Martha MacCallum incorrectly states George Washington added “so help me God” to the oath of [...]
The other day I mentioned that Joe the Plumber wasn’t ready for prime time. Fox News has been trumpeting John McCain’s ‘every man’ campaign sidekick (Fox & Friends briefly brought him up again – in a glowing context – as I’m writing this). Of course, Fox News has been happy to deflect criticism as part [...]
So, I’m watching The O’Reilly Factor last night. Yet another night of Bill spinning the Bill Arkin story. A desperate attempt to fill time with Bill’s standard liberal-bashing while ignoring bad news for conservatives he hasn’t yet developed talking points for to spin? Certainly, he wouldn’t want to fairly cover recent stories (or even cover [...]
Martha MacCallum loves to boast at the top of each show how what we in the audience are about to witness is “raw” and “unfiltered.” We see it as they see it. Yada yada yada. Like most claims Fox News makes, it’s complete manure. The Live Desk today used canned footage in a couple of [...]
“As we say in the open: In there it is totally raw, totally unfiltered — you’ll see it, as we see it.” – Martha MacCallum
Setting up a couple of cameras and lighting inside a control room doesn’t mean the news is any closer to the source, contrary to what the marketers for The Live Desk [...]
I stated my take on Chris Wallace’s interview of Bill Clinton. I predicted it would become Fox’s favorite chew toy and, judging by The Live Desk clip I present here, I was right on target.
I did a brief survey of liberals I know and was surprised by their reaction. They loved the interview. Finally, a [...]
