As I said in my last post, you can tell how poorly Republicans did in their televised question and answer session with President Obama by how much Fox News brings on conservatives to discuss it while showing very little of it – particularly anything the president had to say outside of a few mistakes. Add [...]

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 [...]

You would think a cable news show called America’s Newsroom would be about reporting the news. Guess again. It’s on Fox News after all.
Since the election Fox News has been catching its breath looking for a new set of liberal-bashing themes to latch onto. In the meantime, it’s been interesting to watch it carry over [...]

If you’ve ever heard the term “manufactured news” this clip from America’s Newsroom HQ is its definition.
Martha MacCallum starts off innocent enough actually reporting the news without any spin as she says Barack Obama and George
Bush would agree they had a cordial meeting. Note the no spin bit lasts only a few seconds. [...]

I rarely update posts. Yet “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast” I’ve updated twice. I find it a fascinating case study in how Fox News spins their news.
Fox News has been hypersensitive defenders of Sarah Palin. The most amusing example of this is their ridiculous attacks against Newsweek over her cover photo [...]

Egomaniac Bill O’Reilly makes the fatuous claim:
“McCain was on Larry King. Maybe 3 million people saw that. McCain could have been on The Factor and 7 million people would have seen him. Also, millions more would have heard him on The Radio Factor, but the senator passed. And we don’t exactly know why.”
Likewise, Megyn Kelly [...]

Fox News’ pursuit of liberal media bias reaches the ridiculous. Thin skinned beyond belief, Megyn Kelly and Andrea Tantaros throw a fit over a Newsweek cover photo of Sarah Palin.
According to Megyn, Newsweek’s explanation is the photo was tightly cropped to “see clearly into her eye and be engaged by her smile.” Sounds innocent enough [...]

Let me make myself perfectly clear. I’m not sympathetic to environmental terrorists nor do I care to minimize any threat they present. Heck, I drive like a bat out of hell in a 240-horsepower Honda S2000 most days so I’m not even that environmentally attuned. However, I also am getting tired of Fox News’ [...]
