The other night Bill O’Reilly had Michelle Malkin and Kirsten Powers on discussing the media’s obsession with Paris Hilton. Not surprising, Bill was sanctimonious as ever in his criticisms. Michelle got it right when she pointed out the obvious-as-the-nose-on-Bill’s-face irony that here they were sitting discussing the exact subject whose overexposure had ratcheted up his [...]
I was surfing Fox News’ web site and came across this list of “exclusives” and “only on Fox” videos at the Special Report with Brit Hume page. Do you think you see a trend?
SoD and I are fans of LiberalViewer on YouTube. From time to time he strikes at the heart of Fox News’ spin factory. Conservative angst at Fox News over the Scooter Libby trial was so pitched they couldn’t hide it. They did their best to minimize their coverage of it. But when they did cover [...]
I’m a bit of a of fan Tom Tomorrow’s decidedly liberal comic strip. You can catch his latest installment here. He also runs a blog. Who doesn’t nowadays?
Typically, Tom’s succinct in his observations so it’s not surprising this one on the topic of Bill O’Reilly is short and to the point:
The things I [...]
It’s fair to debate whether the American media covers enough good news from Iraq. The “if it bleeds it leads” bad news versus good news coverage debate certainly predates my existence on this planet. However, it’s a different matter altogether to argue we need to filter out bad news because it undermines the war effort. [...]
Abortion is a topic I try to avoid. It’s one of those hot-button, fundamental moral issues that leads polarized forces on both sides to endlessly fume at each other. Let me make it clear. I’m not trying to start an abortion debate here. The topic really is Bill O’Reilly’s claim of being a “no spin” [...]
“I’m going to do this like an independent and like I hope a lot of Democrats and Republicans will which is to go for the person I think will do the best for America. Not who wears a party label that I happen to wear.” – Senator Joe Lieberman
If you thought the last election [...]
“The right will doubtless welcome the gesture, but for those who really yearn to mix laughs with news and/or politics, try following FNC’s Anna Nicole Smith coverage or the current convoluted storyline on 24.” – Variety
One thing about Fox’s 1/2 Hour News Hour is there’s no pretense to balance. The entire show is dedicated to [...]
“Bad behavior on the far-right,” screams the caption. That’s not something you often see on Fox News’ web site. Much less attached to a Bill O’Reilly “Talking Points” memo. So what’s the catch? Well, it’s yet another opportunity to trash the liberals. Come again? Let EyesOnFox make sense of this paradox.
Despite Fox’s teaser, Bill’s opening [...]
“The candidates that can’t face Fox, can’t face Al Qaeda and that’s what’s coming.” – Roger Ailes
So the mastermind behind “fair and balanced” mouths off some Democrat-bashing rubbish. Anyone who knows a lick about Fox News expects this sort of partisanship. Which is why when I first heard the story yesterday I ignored it but [...]
