Friday was a historic moment. In the wake of his State of the Union speech President Obama gave a speech before the Republican House caucus. This had been arranged a while back; however, the White House contacted the GOP the night before to request the question and answer session following the speech be broadcast for [...]
I’ve been criticized in the past for only focusing on the conservative demagogues on Fox News. Well, as luck would have it, I just happened to channel surf to Keith Olbermann’s meltdown over Scott Brown’s Senate win. Like Brown’s politics or disagree with them but it’s hard to say everything about the man is evil [...]
We have all seen Bill O’Reilly tout his research and facts on his segment and declare that only his facts are accurate and indeed at times they are, but at other times its appallingly and sloppily bad to non-existent. Case in point is a piece done by our friend Liberal Viewer on Bill’s baseless smear [...]
All Hands Assault on Obama
Let me first say I did not vote for Obama. I did not even think he
was quite ready for the office yet and I believe in divided government.
When one party is in power, Katie bar the door!
Having said that, I have to say I have never witnessed such an all
hands battle [...]
During my absence blogging, I watched a fair amount of Fox News. Certainly more than most outside the fraternity of right-wing fanboys making up the core of their audience. However, now that I’ve once again started to dig through the garbage dump of right-wing talk radio talking points which is Fox News I’m getting an [...]
I understand Sarah Palin’s appeal. She’s attractive. She’s gee-shucks ordinary like your next door neighbor. She’s the poster child of the Tea Party movement because she reflexively parrots the far right populism sweeping the Republican Party and heavily promoted by Fox News.
Yet I don’t understand her appeal. The more she’s exposed the more I question [...]
The first National Tea Party Convention is scheduled for February 4th through 6th in Nashville. If you are one of the little guys we’re supposed to believe comprise this grass roots movement you’re somewhat out of luck. The $349 (plus a $9.71 fee) convention only tickets are sold out. The all inclusive $549 (plus a [...]
As I mentioned before, Fox News put profits before Haitian earthquake coverage. Don’t get me wrong. They’ve got a ton of coverage just as long as it doesn’t get too much in the way of their prime time propaganda fiesta.
Bad news for the “Cost of Freedom” block already sluffed off to the relatively dead Saturday [...]
The world of Fox News is steeped in hypocrisy. However, Bill O’Reilly’s latest interview of Sarah Palin – he was the first Foxy to get a shot at her – puts all the rest to shame. It was an opportunity for Bill to smear her critics and an opening for Sarah to explain her well [...]
A while back I saw Bill O’Reilly questioning CNN’s move away from punditry to concentrate on hard news. He openly ridiculed the network for the decision since opinion is what sells. Who can argue with Fox News’ highly popular right-wing propaganda factory? So it’s no surprise that Fox News keeps running their hugely profitable frothing [...]
