Fox & Friends wait a couple of days to let us know about “imminent attack”
I don’t know about you but I’m sick and tired of all the over-hyped alerts and assorted over-the-top breathless teasers Fox News uses to keep viewers glued to their sets. MediaChannel covers Fox & Friends’ recent pathetic example of tabloid journalism taken to ludicrous extremes.
“Grapevine” of sour variety
Every day Brit Hume tells at least two lies to his viewers. He concludes his Special Report broadcast, generally a tribute to and defense of conservative thought, with the words “fair, balanced, and unafraid” plus he has the nerve to call his deadpan delivered “Political Grapevine” segment “the most scintillating two minutes of television.” During [...]
Senator Craig not only not gay, he’s not visible on Fox News
According to Media Matters, “fair and balanced” Fox News only covered Republican Senator Larry Craig’s embarrassing sex scandal for 3 minutes and 57 seconds prime time yesterday (between 5 pm and 11 pm). Their cable competitor CNN covered it for over 20 minutes.
Gee, I wonder if we can compare this to Fox News’ coverage of [...]
We only hear from Republicans about Gonzales’ resignation on Your World & The Big Story
The big story of the day was the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Fox News ran with the story and to help them carry the load on Your World and The Big Story were a chorus of conservative voices. Naturally, we hear from Gonzales himself and his boss, President Bush. Add to the list [...]
“Fair and balanced” Fox News and a night of Sean Hannity’s right-wing spin
Sean Hannity, the 2nd most popular right-wing talk radio host after Rush Limbaugh, gets his own hour every Sunday on Hannity’s America to spin like a whirling dervish. Though on some nights I hardly notice the change in tone from the rest of Fox News’ right-wing slop.
Tonight Sean’s featured segment was Edwards-bashing. The tired argument [...]
Are Democrats investing in failure?
It’s the sort of loaded question Fox News loves to ask. It’s equivalent of asking a husband if they enjoy beating their wife. You’re going to look bad no matter how you address the question. And we know Fox News is dedicated to making the Democrats look bad.

Neil Cavuto pushes conservative talking points on illegal immigration
I already blogged on Neil Cavuto’s Wednesday program pitting Geraldo against Michelle Dallacroce in a wild debate. Cavuto’s alleged business show’s coverage of conservative talking points on illegal immigration didn’t end there. Thursday he featured Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter on the topic. Friday he ran three segments on the topic. Saturday his Cavuto On [...]
Star-Ledger’s Tom Moran takes on O’Reilly
Was Bill O’Reilly unfair to Newark in his latest anti-illegal immigration rant? Tom Moran has the clip, straightens out a few facts, and adds his two cents to the argument here.
Be sure to watch the clip. Following Bill’s one-sided rant is an ABC piece that offers a larger context.
Neil talks of “sanctuary cities” as Geraldo called a “racist”
Conservatives are masters of euphemisms and talking points. Their latest great foray into this art is “sanctuary cities.” Personally, I’m already growing weary of the term but the Foxies can’t chatter enough about them and since Neil Cavuto’s Your World isn’t much about business what better place to talk about a hot conservative political [...]
