What War On Women?, cont...
April 17th, 2012
Jon Stewart notes that while Fox News fiercely denies there is a "war on women" at all they have equally passionately propagandized that "wars" on Christmas, Hanukkah, Halloween, Ladies nights, fisherman, salt, "spuds" and fossil fuels are all very real.

Perfect Timing
Sept 28th, 2011
Everyone has been talking about the Howard Kurtz profile of Fox's Roger Ailes. I think it pertinent to highlight this particular section today:
"Ailes raises a Fox initiative that he cooked up: “Are our producers on board on this ‘Regulation Nation’ stuff? Are they ginned up and ready to go?” Ailes, who claims to be “hands off” in developing the series, later boasts that “no other network will cover that subject … I think regulations are totally out of control,” he adds, with bureaucrats hiring Ph.D.s to “sit in the basement and draw up regulations to try to ruin your life.” It is a message his troops cannot miss."
Indeed, this theme has been spun hour after hour, day after day, for weeks on the Murdoch Device. It's no longer clear if Fox parrots the GOP or vice versa. However, it is worth contextualizing their mission to deregulate pretty much everything with this breaking news via HuffPo:
"Health officials say as many as 16 people have died from possible listeria illnesses traced to Colorado cantaloupes, the deadliest food outbreak in more than a decade.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday that 72 illnesses, including 13 deaths, are linked to the tainted fruit. State and local officials say they are investigating three additional deaths that may be connected.
The death toll released by the CDC Tuesday – including newly confirmed deaths in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas – surpassed the number of deaths linked to an outbreak of salmonella in peanuts almost three years ago. Nine people died in that outbreak."
If it's a choice between "job-killing" regulations and a people-killing absence of regulations, which do we prefer?
It seems clear. If you aren't a sociopath. Speaking of sociopaths, here is part of the Fox editorial response to the aforementioned outbreak. Below is the headline. That's their message. It's really your fault when food kills you. So there.

Following The Fox Money
Aug 20th, 2011
Politico reports:
"In the first month after a phone hacking scandal rocked News Corp., four congressional campaign committees or leadership PACs received contributions from the political action committee of the company’s American subsidiary, newly filed federal campaign documents show."
I am sure the timing was simply a coincidence.

Best Media Matters Headline EVER
July 29th, 2011
In case you missed the exchange between Bill Nye and Fox Drone Jon Scott that that inspired the following headline, the video is below the screencap. Watch Nye's face in the clip. We can all add this to the growing file of "things we can't make up."
Yup. That actually happened.

Seriously, FOX?
May 12th, 2011
After the all day FOX hate-fest directed at the White House over their decision to host rapper and poet Common, Hannity really took the prize for most blatantly racist and hypocritical. Think Jon Stewart gave the FOX gang and Sean a pass? Not a chance.

FOX News Math
March 31st, 2011
Some great FOX News fails from Funny Or Die. These 2 really do matter, though.
Worth revisiting. Outside of FOX, we've never seen an OVER 100% sampling make it to broadcast before.
Even better, this sampling seems to represent a 193% total. Good times.

Offensive FOX Comment - Wisconsin Addition
Feb 22nd, 2011
As I always do, I thank the diligent (perhaps masochistic) folks over at Fox News Comments for shining a light on what the Murdoch Moderators seem to think is unworthy of removal. Has the American right descended so far that some of them think our government should "disappear" pro union activists? Yup.

Pretty much. Here's some effective pushback against The Murdoch Device's relentless bashing of police and firefighter's unions.
