Self-described “well-intentioned, poorly informed high-status idiot” Stephen Colbert (the character, not the actor) is a hilarious send-up of right-wing blowhard Bill O’Reilly. Yet, sometimes O’Reilly is his own even funnier self-parody. The results are hilarious.
TVNewser reports Bill is “almost sick” (one assumes to his stomach, not in the head) over an MSNBC chryon reading “How [...]

For the um-teenth time the pseudo business program Bulls & Bears asks the question which party is best for the economy. For the um-teenth time a show on the so-called “business block” abandons business news to promote the Republican party. This is Fox News so there’s no drama as to what the outcome of the [...]

Escaping Fox News’ horrifically bad Democratic Convention coverage (last time I watched it “fair and balanced” Bill O’Reilly and Karl Rove were trashing the Clintons, the convention, John Warner’s speech, the convention organizers, the media, Biden, Obama, etc.), I came across a curious TVNewser post poking a stick in the eye of Jon Stewart.
Jon Stewart [...]

Nobody but nobody knows how to tell half truths like Fox News. Take a good look at Fox News’ latest ad targeting CNN.
Huffington Post does a decent job covering the story. Suffice it to say, Fox News has a greater balance of Democrats to Republicans than does CNN according to a new Pew Research poll. [...]

If you visited Huffington Post today you couldn’t miss the “WATCH: Fox News Reporter Greeted With Chants Of “F*** Fox News!” link. When I saw the video was cut by “Johnny Dollar,” a right-winger who runs a Fox News worship site, my bs meter went off the charts. It seems for good reason.
If you’ve been [...]

I’m catching up on Fox News. What did I miss from the “Political Grapevine?” Not much judging from the videos featured on the Fox News website. Here’s a wrap up:
8/22 – “Hillary Clinton’s campaign debt” is Fox News emphasizing the divisions between the Clintons and Obama. Not too surprising coming from Brett Baier. I watched [...]

Picture this. Roger Ailes and his Fox News lieutenants sitting around a conference table munching donuts and trying to come up with a talking head to feature in a new show. Trying to live up to their reputation of “fairness of balance” for the first time in the network’s history they push for diversity by [...]

If it’s quiet around here it’s because I’m out of town for a few days. Not to worry. Like a bad burrito I will return.

All Hollywood does is produce liberal rubbish. Any actor appearing in anything but a liberal propaganda film will see their career blacklisted. We’ve all heard this conservative talking point over and over again. It appears Kevin Farley, Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, Dennis Hopper, Jillian Murray and Leslie Nielsen didn’t get the memo. Writer/Director David [...]

Brian Kilmeade wasn’t added to the Fox & Friends line-up for his IQ. Or maybe he was. Proof Roger Ailes has a sense of humor?
‘Nuff said. Think Progress does a great job covering Kilmeade’s latest foot in mouth moment.
