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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Here’s an interesting tidbit about the rivalry between Ailes and Limbaugh based upon Michael Wolff’s new book Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One.
Limbaugh would seem a natural bag of hot air to host a Fox News show. If you believe Glenn Beck (and why should anyone?) who boasts he’s #3, Ailes has 2 of [...]
Comparing Bill O’Reilly to the empty-headed stuffed shirt Ted Baxter of “Mary Tyler Moore Show” fame is nothing new. Keith Olbermann does it all the time. What grabbed my attention is Rush Limbaugh, not known for a modest ego himself, likens Papa Bear to the Tedster as well.
Since this quote along with statements trashing Sean [...]
I’ve witnessed a lot of outrageous crap on Fox News but even considering their usual lousy standards of ethical journalism this is a low ebb. The kindest thing I can say about this segment from Hannity is it’s blatant character assassination that rises to a level of in-your-face hypocrisy rarely attempted on television.
At the [...]
If you want a measure of how badly the Republicans performed during their Friday question and answer session versus President Obama all you have to do is look at how Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck covered the event. Which is to say they didn’t. Well, I exaggerate. They covered it for a total [...]
All Hands Assault on Obama
Let me first say I did not vote for Obama. I did not even think he
was quite ready for the office yet and I believe in divided government.
When one party is in power, Katie bar the door!
Having said that, I have to say I have never witnessed such an all
hands battle [...]
I’ve been away from Eyes On Fox for quite a while. I wish I could say I had a good excuse like being off developing a cure for cancer. No such thing. I simply found some pursuits more interesting than monitoring Fox News’ endless stream of right-wing propaganda. Who would have thought it?
News Years Eve [...]
I was emailed a link to an ‘article’ over on Fox News’ web site entitled “Mainstream Media Passes on Tea Parties.” Coincidentally, I happened to listen to NPR’s “All Things Considered” and CNN for well over 3 hours Wednesday evening during a long trip. Both sources covered the tea parties extensively.
So, I took the bait [...]
