Fox News wrestles for its soul

Watching conservative Fox News is observing a microcosm of conservative evolution and turmoil. Following the last election debacle where conservatives were run out of Washington a lot of soul searching ensued, typical of such events. The lesson they learned from America putting more left of center politicians into power was, curiously, the Republican Party isn’t [...]

Fox New rewrites history

If you ever wondered what cable’s History Channel would look like if Rupert Murdoch took it over here’s a sneak preview.

How many lies can Glenn Beck tell in 5 minutes?

This is an amazing segment by Glenn Beck. It tells us so much about the man.
Glenn is a Morning Zoo alumni. Even if you didn’t know this fact you’d quickly figure out he earned his chops as some cut-up, shock jock based upon his shtick here. Call it satire but it’s really rubber faced juvenility. [...]

Is O’Reilly telling us the “mainstream media” is unbiased toward the Tea Party?

I suspect that Bill’s encounter with Jon Stewart unnerved the poor boy. Part of the interview that ended up on his editor’s floor was Stewart joking that O’Reilly was no longer cutting edge. Left behind by the likes of young upstarts such as his pal Glenn Beck. The angry Bill is back. The results are [...]

Is Fox News gay bashing?

I’ve witnessed a lot of outrageous crap on Fox News but even considering their usual lousy standards of ethical journalism this is a low ebb. The kindest thing I can say about this segment from Hannity is it’s blatant character assassination that rises to a level of in-your-face hypocrisy rarely attempted on television.
At the [...]

Jon Stewart enters Papa Bear’s den

By now even the casual observer of Fox News realizes Jon Stewart appeared on The O’Reilly Factor. Obviously, Fox News promoted the money-maker to death, Stewart has covered it on his show, Keith Olbermann has had his fun with it, bloggers have beat it to death, there are a huge number of YouTube videos [...]

Bill O’Reilly flips over the Bush haters

How much hypocrisy can Bill O’Reilly stuff into a segment on the The O’Reilly Factor? Prepare to be amazed.
Bernie Goldberg, of course, is a regular on Bill’s show and a usually reliable salesman of Fox News’ conservative causes. However, last night he took exception of right-wingers who are going outside the bounds of reasonable debate [...]

Obama shuts up O’Reilly, Hannity and Beck

If you want a measure of how badly the Republicans performed during their Friday question and answer session versus President Obama all you have to do is look at how Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck covered the event. Which is to say they didn’t. Well, I exaggerate. They covered it for a total [...]

Fox News’ alternate reality

As I said in my last post, you can tell how poorly Republicans did in their televised question and answer session with President Obama by how much Fox News brings on conservatives to discuss it while showing very little of it – particularly anything the president had to say outside of a few mistakes. Add [...]
