Last week I only had 4 episodes of The O’Reilly Factor taped (1 of those 4 was guest hosted so I tossed it out). I think I ended up with over 20 minutes of video highlights I had to trim down to the 10 minute YouTube limit. Again, that’s from 3 shows. This week I [...]

Sean Hannity is a dishonest, right-wing data miner. So why do I usually ignore him? Because that’s what he’s paid to do. And while I think the Hannity & Colmes team is totally unbalanced – Alan Colmes hardly balances him out – at least on paper it’s a balanced panel. And it’s Colme’s job – [...]

“If you [President Clinton] can’t sit there and answer a question from a professional, mild-mannered, respectful reporter like Chris Wallace, then the hatred for journalists is showing.” – Roger Ailes
Roger Ailes failed trying to bring Rush Limbaugh to television. Well, maybe not. He is getting a second chance heading Fox News. While Rush’s appearances there [...]

Yep, some stories are too important to trust to a liberal. And when those times come up who better to bring in than right-wing pundit – and Fox News contributor, naturally – Michelle Malkin.
We’ve all heard about the latest leaks embarrassing President Bush on Iraq. What you may not have realized it’s all a [...]

I stated my take on Chris Wallace’s interview of Bill Clinton. I predicted it would become Fox’s favorite chew toy and, judging by The Live Desk clip I present here, I was right on target.
I did a brief survey of liberals I know and was surprised by their reaction. They loved the interview. Finally, a [...]

After Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez spoke at the UN, pretty much all we heard on the news, especially from Fox, is they were pretty well received by the world body and even got applause, which brought about the usual angst against the UN.
Turns out the overly eager news media left a few things out, or [...]

On the 9/23/06 edition of the Beltway Boys, Mort Kondrake, a supposed liberal, in a rare instance of disagreement with conservative Fred Barnes, gets worked up about the tax/deficit issue.

This from Jack Welch on the 9/22/06 edition of Fox’s Your World with Neal Cavuto in yet another segment lacking fair and balanced opposing analysis. The segment is essentially a campaign ad for Republicans in the 2006 elections.
While I agree with some of the claims made of what Democrats will do, its quite open to debate, which [...]

“When we announced that you [President Clinton] were going to be interviewed on Fox News Sunday, I got a lot of email from viewers. And I’ve got to say I was surprised. Most of them wanted me to ask you this question. Why didn’t you do more to put Al Qaeda and bin Laden out [...]
