Eyes On Fox News Network

Sean Hannity: A sales pitch for doom bunkers

sknabt — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:22:36 +0000

In the info-tainment world of conservative shills separating the real and fake can be a real challenge. For example, the oh so humble “great one” Mark Levin jests about broadcasting from his “underground bunker.” “No spin” conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly often jokes with co-worker Glenn Beck about America’s favorite paranoid motor mouth having a doom [...]

Fox News busted ripping baloney from blogs again?

sknabt — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 14:49:07 +0000

When most people think of Fox News’ right-wing propagandists they generally think of the big guns: Beck, O’Reilly and Hannity. However, one of the worst offenders is their morning propaganda factory: Fox & Friends. A classic example of this is their infamous “Prescription for Truth” series which was nothing more than an aggressive attempt to [...]

Glenn Beck: Obama is no longer a “racist.” How about a heretic instead?

sknabt — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 22:48:27 +0000

I’m sure I’ve said this before but it probably deserves repeating. I don’t think politics and religion should mix. Politics corrupts all it touches. However, the allure of mixing the two is all too great for many to resist. Glenn Beck has made millions sermonizing his political theology. Bill O’Reilly, who’s more secular than religious [...]

How Fox & Friends helps you decide in favor of right-wing extremism

sknabt — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 05:45:44 +0000

“We report, you decide.” Another one of those cute little marketing slogans Fox News uses. It’s just like their more famous one, “fair and balanced.” Which is to say it’s pretty much bunk. Media Matters ran a small little report that I’m a bit late to the party on about yet another attempt by Fox News [...]

Liberals hate America! Yep, Fox Nation is back to that tired smear.

I have ignored Fox Nation thus far. However, after reading Dan Gainor’s ridiculous crap on the “ground zero mosque” I couldn’t resist. Dan Gainor is “The Boone Pickens Fellow” over at Media Research Center run by right-wing evangelist Brent Bozell. You’ll recall, Media Research Center and Bozell get their voices heard by Fox News because [...]

Humble as ever, Glenn Beck will create the next George Washington

sknabt — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 11:30:00 +0000

Assuming Glenn Beck’s chalk board doesn’t kill him before the big event today, it looks like Glenn Beck will create the next George Washington. Do you think Colbert is having any fun with any of this? The Colbert Report Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c

Why did “culture warrior” Bill O’Reilly screen a porno movie?

sknabt — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:36:33 +0000

Via Raw Story comes this amusing story of a young Bill O’Reilly sitting in during a screening of a porno movie then going out to dinner with the director. How do we know? Well, Bill wrote an article about it. Did I mention there’s folks smoking pot all around him and he doesn’t jump into [...]

Republican Ken Melman is only gay on CNN and MSNBC

sknabt — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 02:09:29 +0000

“Fair and balanced” Fox News is picky about the stories it runs. News Corp giving $1 million to the Republican Governor’s Association? I’ll put it this way. They don’t share the passion for it as they did blasting ACORN. Well, the “fair and balanced” hypocrisy doesn’t get any worse than their coverage of former RNC [...]

Who’s more extreme? Feisel Abdul Rauf or Glenn Beck?

sknabt — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 01:35:21 +0000

Back in 2006, Imam Rauf and Glenn Beck sat across from each other on Good Morning America. Based upon the wild-eyed reaction of right-wingers on Fox News and elsewhere today to the building of the “Ground Zero Mosque,” you’d think Imam Rauf was some crazed radical screaming “death to America.” No, here we have Glenn [...]

Laura Ingraham on New York mosque. Much a spew about nothing?

sknabt — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 02:08:52 +0000

When I say I don’t get the New York Muslim Community Center, dubbed “Park51,” flap I’ll get all the usual stereotypes hurled my way. Oh, I’m a terrorist hugger. Oh, I’m a radical atheist thumbing my nose at a nation dedicated to Christianity. You know the drill. It’s not lost on me the fact radical Muslims [...]
