In the info-tainment world of conservative shills separating the real and fake can be a real challenge. For example, the oh so humble “great one” Mark Levin jests about broadcasting from his “underground bunker.” “No spin” conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly often jokes with co-worker Glenn Beck about America’s favorite paranoid motor mouth having a doom [...]
“Fair and balanced” Fox News is picky about the stories it runs. News Corp giving $1 million to the Republican Governor’s Association? I’ll put it this way. They don’t share the passion for it as they did blasting ACORN. Well, the “fair and balanced” hypocrisy doesn’t get any worse than their coverage of former RNC [...]
Andrew Breitbart is to journalism what cancer is to a human cell. He was the ringmaster behind the ACORN three ringed circus of a smear campaign using heavily edited tapes and even more tapes withheld from public view. Don’t count me in as an ACORN apologist; however, only a partisan wanting to see a liberal [...]
Judging by Russ Dodge’s editorial in Philadelphia’s The Bulletin, he’s a real-deal Beckerhead. So when he starts to fret Beck “will do himself in and will start to become marginal” the suits over at Fox News might want to pay attention.
While Russ will never agree with me he’s a demagogue or that most of his [...]
Normally flag-waving Fox News has packed Old Glory away rejecting an advertisement from VoteVets. So what’s wrong with this ad?
Phony patriotism comes easy for Fox News when the military meets its conservative expectations. A liberal veterans group running ads on climate change. Well, that erases any patriotic urges amongst Fox News executives.
The Fox News excuse [...]
I realize given the right-wing propaganda factory that is Fox News’ cable news line-up, griping about stories they’re carrying on their web site about a cute Russian spy hardly is worth trifling with. However, this is starting to wear on me like sand in my Speedos. Okay, so I’d never wear Speedos.
I touched on this [...]
Jon Stewart is at it again making fun of Fox & Friends. If you’ve ever watched that parody of an actual news program – I’m talking about the daily comedy that is Fox & Friends – it’s hilariously funny watching them try to act like journalists with a straight face. Any moment you expect [...]
Am I naive by asking what the story “Utah Mom Accused of Doctoring Photo to Show Girl, 13, Having Sex With Dog” is doing on Fox News’ web site? They can’t blame this on the “liberal media” either because it appears to be a homegrown Fox News story with their own Michelle Maskaly proudly taking [...]
Some stuff that’s grabbed my attention recently regarding Fox News.
The Washington Post carried a Howard Kurtz story on Glenn Beck giving Fox News reporters indigestion.
Speaking of The Washington Post, Howell Raines went after Fox News in an editorial generating a lot of buzz. You’ll recall Raines got caught up in the Jason Blair scandal [...]
By now even the casual observer of Fox News realizes Jon Stewart appeared on The O’Reilly Factor. Obviously, Fox News promoted the money-maker to death, Stewart has covered it on his show, Keith Olbermann has had his fun with it, bloggers have beat it to death, there are a huge number of YouTube videos [...]
