When I say I don’t get the New York Muslim Community Center, dubbed “Park51,” flap I’ll get all the usual stereotypes hurled my way. Oh, I’m a terrorist hugger. Oh, I’m a radical atheist thumbing my nose at a nation dedicated to Christianity. You know the drill.
It’s not lost on me the fact radical Muslims [...]

I got this Tweet yesterday from StopBeck:
Glenny is railing against bailouts. Reminder: @glennbeck was for bailout, before he was against it: http://bit.ly/cGh1DR
That was intriguing.
Glenn Beck’s a man of principles. Principles he boasts about on his show and posts on the Internet. Like “I must always try to be a more honest person than I [...]

I’ve got to quit posting Rachael Maddow videos or people will get the wrong impression. I almost never watch MSNBC. Pretty much for the same reason I criticize Fox News: Their news is narrowly focused crap and devoted to telling a partisan narrative aimed at raising the blood pressure of their fanboys. Yet, I keep [...]

Golly day! Journalists don’t get any lazier than Bill O’Reilly. Forced to apologize to his audience for calling for Sherrod’s resignation without doing any research except parroting right-wing blogs, O’Reilly goes for a two-fer by joining up with fellow hack Bernie Goldberg to smear Howard Kurtz and The New York Times.
O’Reilly is obviously aware of [...]

File this under the heading “it’s as obvious as the nose on your face.” Bill O’Reilly smears liberals to charge up his conservative audience for ratings. It’s the not so secret ’secret sauce’ that makes Fox News the ratings champ it is.
So it’s no surprise when Rachael Maddow and Bill O’Reilly got into a [...]

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 [...]

You would think the stink over Glenn Beck renting out his reputation to the gold merchant Goldline would make other right-wing pundits think twice before doing the same. Nope. Right-wing pundits exploiting the rabid paranoia of their fan base don’t smell the stench of corruption. They smell the aphrodisiac of a buck.
Enter America’s daddy, Bill [...]

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 [...]

“In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.” 2 Peter 2:2-4
Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck have competing values. On the one hand, they push Bible-based moral principles but on the other hand they aggressively [...]

I stumbled upon this interesting quote by Glenn Beck: “I realized I’m just a human meat shield for the guy [O'Reilly]. He’s all of a sudden the senior statesman.”
So the question is being posed: is O’Reilly a moderate? Or has Fox News just grown so nuts since President Obama’s election and the takeover of [...]
