News Hounds uncovered an interesting interview of Bill O’Reilly in NewsDay.
Obviously, O’Reilly is out promoting his new memoir, A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity. When I first heard the title it stunk of O’Reilly’s trademark grandiose narcissism. Yet, the tale O’Reilly ties the title to is one of a witless schoolboy being corrected sarcastically by [...]
Fox News’ web site boasts “1979’s presidential debate between Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush will be remembered for one memorable sound bite.” Maybe, maybe not. I don’t think it’s one of Reagan’s best in a historical context.
However, one thing I’ll remember for a while is Chris Wallace’s background mischaracterizing in my view Jimmy [...]
The title of this video on Fox News’ web site is “Hannity & Gutfeld Has a Nice Ring.” That grabbed my attention because this nightmarish combination is something I never pondered. By the way, with all due respect to Greg Gutfeld, that name combo rolls off the tongue like thumb tacks. Though I have to [...]
At the end of every show Brit boasts he’s “fair, balanced, and unafraid.” This, of course, is a complete lie. Observe his “Political Grapevine” segments thus far this week.
Monday he opens with “FIT OR FAITHFUL” grousing about how Barack Obama has worked out instead of going to church for the past three Sundays. He digs [...]
So I’m watching CNN covering live the tragic events in Mumbai, India where at least 80 people have been killed by a coordinated terrorist attack.
I switch channels to get Fox News’ perspective on it. What do I see? A “special” edition of The O’Reilly Factor featuring wall-to-wall reruns of Dennis Miller. Mocking the usual Democratic [...]
Looking for some fairness and balance in my news today I made the odd choice of watching this segment on Fox & Friends. I’m sure you’ll be absolutely shocked to hear they’re blaming “moral decline” on teaching kids “a liberal world view.”
Just as Fox & Friends bashing liberalism is about as surprising as [...]
It seems that Hannity & Colmes will soon undergo a name change. Alan Colmes is leaving the program. No real story behind this other than Alan wanted a change. As Colmes explained:
“I approached Bill Shine (FNC’s Senior Vice President of Programming) earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop [...]
I know that I’m getting redundant in that I just blogged on Red Eye’s Greg Gutfeld, desperate comedian. However, I just witnessed this example of his angry Dennis Miller imitation which crosses the line into offensive because at the heart of Greg’s stand-up act is the fact he’s more enraged than he is funny, a [...]
Like most right-wing pundits earning their meal ticket shilling spin to a partisan crowd, Bill O’Reilly is joining the chorus of angst opposed to the Fairness Doctrine. But does O’Reilly know what he’s talking about?
For his 11/21 “Talking Points” segment the title was “Will Fairness Doctrine Change Talk Radio and Cable News?” Does Bill think [...]
This has to be one of the more bizarre stories coming from the “fair and balanced” world of Fox News.
Roger Ailes has declared “We have some obligation in a new presidency not to attempt to destabilize it.”
This statement simply stunned me. Think about what he said for a moment. Let its implications sink in.
This [...]
