On Fox, Saving Lives Via Gun Regulation Is ‘Just Not Worth It’
In a jaw-dropping segment of callousness, Fox News trotted out contributor Jonah Goldberg to attack Vice President Joe Biden’s statement about his task force looking to curb gun violence, “Even if what we do only saves one life, it makes sense.”
Read moreStewart Exposes Fox News Hypocrisy Over Attacks On Al Gore
A few nights ago on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart mocked Fox's ginned-up outrage over Al Gore's sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera. Stewart rightly nailed the "controversy" as Fox's "first boner of the year." He went on to say, "This won't be a four-hour erection, or will it?" That was funny and great enough. But then he penetrated to the core of the hypocrisy.
Read moreO'Reilly Pretends His Comments About Asians Were Taken Out Of Context
Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa (D-HI) confronted Bill O’Reilly tonight about his offensive comments that it’s “shocking” that Hawaiians are liberal because Asians are “usually more industrious and hard-working.” O’Reilly contended that Hanabusa had only watched his remarks from an out-of-context Media Matters clip and, therefore, was unqualified to debate him on them. In reality, Media Matters’ clip included the full context of his remarks and there was nothing in the rest of the segment to alter the meaning.
Read moreJudge Napolitano Insists We All Need Assault Weapons to Defend Ourselves Against … Somebody
All across the country, right-wingers are lining up behind a standard answer to the question: “Why are we against a ban on assault weapons”? And that answer is: civilians need assault weapons so they can defend themselves against tyranny. What tyranny? Well, they don’t really say. And though it sounds like a talking point from some militia survivalist bunker, even learned judges are arguing it, gentle reader. At least Fox's friendly judge, Andrew Napolitano, was arguing that point in a foxnews.com op-ed which was also posted on the Fox Nation.
Read moreCavuto Helps Promotes Threat To Shut Down The Government
On Monday’s Your World, (1/7/13), Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ) got a warm welcome to discuss his threat to shut down the federal government to force spending cuts. The only challenge from Cavuto was on political grounds, not over any actual deleterious effects such a measure might have. Meanwhile, Cavuto spoke admiringly about Salmon’s “vinegar and fight.”
Read moreGlenn Beck Helps O'Reilly Yuk It Up Over Gore's Sale Of Current To Al Jazeera
Apparently, Bill O’Reilly hasn’t found a new Miley Cyrus, Sandra Fluke, Dr. Tiller, Al Gore yet so he brought on hate monger extraordinaire Glenn Beck to spice up the now-familiar attacks. Gore, as you probably know by now, reportedly turned down Glenn Beck's offer to buy Gore's Current TV on ideological grounds – before making the supposedly heinous decision to sell to Al Jazeera. With a malicious grin, O’Reilly asked, “How do you process it, personally, when you’re more loathsome to Al Gore than guys who glorify Osama Bin Laden?” A hilarity of hate ensured.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Pushes Pro-Life Lies & Propaganda About Planned Parenthood
Who better to finish off Fox News' Tuesday anti-choice propaganda blast at Planned Parenthood than Bill O'Reilly, an aging Catholic male who uses his show as a conduit for "pro-life" fanaticism and platform from which he engaged in a crusade against an abortion doctor who was later murdered by a "pro-life" fanatic? For his efforts in demonizing Dr. George Tiller, dubbed a "baby killer" by O'Reilly, Bill earned a "courage award" from the hate group, the FamilyResearchCenter. The wealthy O'Reilly is also vehemently opposed to Planned Parenthood, an organization providing health care for low income women. Despite Bill's prediction, Planned Parenthood hasn't been defunded; but the anti-choice lobby is indefatigable in its efforts to do so especially given the Planned Parenthood's 2012 level of government funding. Bill O'Reilly provided a happy ending to Fox's Tuesday lie-a-palooza with more of the same!

Read moreO'Reilly And Rivera Joke About Throwing Chairs At Al Gore
Fox News enemy of the week (or is it month?): Al Gore. Not counting President Obama, of course. But he's president. Gore, on the other hand, never will be. Still, the Gore smearing just goes on and on. Last night, Bill O'Reilly - who often decries hate speech from the left - couldn't have gone much lower as he and Geraldo Rivera joked about throwing chairs at Gore and then later countenanced Dennis Miller's fat jokes.
