When most people think of Fox News’ right-wing propagandists they generally think of the big guns: Beck, O’Reilly and Hannity. However, one of the worst offenders is their morning propaganda factory: Fox & Friends. A classic example of this is their infamous “Prescription for Truth” series which was nothing more than an aggressive attempt to [...]
“We report, you decide.” Another one of those cute little marketing slogans Fox News uses. It’s just like their more famous one, “fair and balanced.” Which is to say it’s pretty much bunk.
Media Matters ran a small little report that I’m a bit late to the party on about yet another attempt by Fox News [...]
The first mention of Ben Quayle I bumped into was an Associated Press story. Ben Quayle, son of former Vice President Dan Quayle, is running for Congress in Arizona. The son of Quayle appears to be a comical train wreck. The article made me immediately curious on how Fox News would cover this story. Would [...]
Democrat Charley Rangel’s ethics charges certainly are newsworthy so the fact that right-wing Fox News covers it a lot like here, here (AP sourced), here, here, here , here (Greta Wire), here and countless other times on their web site should be no surprise.

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 [...]
Fox & Friends is easily the most biased morning show in the history of television. They exist to give their conservative audience their early morning warm up of anti-liberal angst and glimmers of hope that far right, out-of-the-mainstream pseudo-Libertarianism will soon return America to the utopia of the 18th century. The average early American eking [...]
What is the role of a cable news channel? To report the news? To analyze the news so the rubes in their audience who can’t think for themselves understand it? To effect political change to suit themselves?
In the case of the so-called “ObamaCare,” Fox News thinks their role is to kill any bill associated with [...]
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 [...]
