Twice a show Bill O’Reilly lies about running a “no spin” show. To compound these daily lies, he’s gone on the record countless times boasting how fair and balanced Fox News is in its guest list. Like The Factor last night, Bill? Frequent guest Republican Newt Gingrich, Libertarian Glenn Beck, and economic Darwinist Neil Cavuto [...]

I’m accused of never giving Fox News credit for the rare cases where they actually attempt “balance” by criticizing their own. So here’s a video clip – if you don’t blink in the wrong place – where you’ll witness Fox & Friends actually criticizing Republicans.
Now you do have to wade through over 5 minutes of [...]

“Nobody’s telling us the truth” Glenn warns us. Well, there’s a built in self-serving assumption Glenn is. And wouldn’t you trust someone who tells you don’t listen to anyone else just them?
A ton of Fox News addicts do just that. To me that’s scary.
What I find less scary and almost comical is major crackpot [...]

President Obama held an economic summit on fiscal responsibility during which he promised to halve the deficit in 4 years. You’d think that’d be music to the ears of conservatives. Nope. Team sports is the name of the game so Sean Hannity called in Ann Coulter for some “fair and balanced” political mud-slinging.
I distinctly recall [...]

I didn’t cover the Bill O’Reilly “Wicked Witch of the East” quip directed at White House reporter Helen Thomas. There was such a public flap too many people beat me to it and did a better job than I would have.

I guess when you’re a hopelessly partisan network like Fox News you have to turn a blind eye to your own hypocrisy. How else do you explain former Republican presidential candidate turned Fox News host (huge shocker, that) being invited onto Fox & Friends to bash President Obama for fear-mongering, a completely hypocritical observations given [...]

Glenn Beck is such a crackpot it’s hard to know where to begin in analyzing his shtick.
That Democrats controlling the government have the right-wing fringe, like Beck, completely unhinged is hardly news. Still, it’s very tough to justify Beck’s way-over-the-top show complete with viewer discretion warnings and end of days type of scenarios sure to [...]

We all know Fox News’ slogan “fair and balanced” is a lie. Or maybe it’s Roger Ailes telling us his favorite joke. Whatever it is, Neil Cavuto showed us today on Your World how ridiculously biased the network is.
Why an ACORN small series of protests in 7 cities was the lead segment for Your World [...]

“Stupid is as stupid does.” – Forrest Gump
It must have been a slow news day because the best Bill O’Reilly could come up with in his latest liberal bashing “Talking Points” in his continual campaign to divide America into the righteous traditional conservatives and unrighteous “secular progressive” liberals is to tell us about a rampaging [...]

Bill O’Reilly’s a funny man. He’ll pretend to be a middle of a road sort of guy every now and then to hedge his bets when he’s not quite sure how things are going. So we have him in this clip editorializing “nitpicking the stimulus bill is a complete waste of time.”
Yet, here we have [...]
