You know, when you give political opinions in public, people are going to disagree with you and some of them are even going to throw personal insults at you. Even I, Iron Knee, get some email like that (yes, I know it is hard to believe). But apparently Fox News host Greta Van Susteren has […]
The Fox Nation website claims that Obama hasn’t held a press conference since July 2009, and that he is hiding from the media. The same claim was made by Newsmax. But Media Matters points out that Obama has held two full press conferences this year, one on February 9 and another on April 13, where […]
This entire video is great, but it really gets interesting around the 4:50 mark, when Jon Stewart points out the stunning irony of conservative pundits comparing Obama to Bush; for example, claiming that the nomination of Elena Kagan is “Obama’s Harriet Miers”, the oil spill is “Obama’s Katrina”, health care is “Obama’s Iraq”, and on […]
Michael Brown, the crony appointment ex-FEMA director famous for his horribly botched response to Hurricane Katrina that cost hundreds of lives, object of the infamous “Heckuva job, Brownie” quote from Dubya, and for being removed from his job, is now an expert on oil spills according to Fox News. During the interview, Brown claims: The […]
If you ever wanted to see what propaganda look like, here it is, in three easy steps: Step 1: Republican Senator Tom Coburn dismisses Fox New charges that people who don’t buy health insurance will go to jail, saying “The intention is not to put anybody in jail. That makes for good TV news on […]
It is almost too easy to make fun of Fox News, like they no longer even care whether what they are reporting has any even small basis in truth. And yet, many people believe their crap. During the cold war, it was always said that people in the Soviet Union knew that they were being […]
If patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel, then Sean Hannity seems to qualify. For the last few years, Hannity has been promoting “Freedom Concerts” that promise to give college scholarships to the children of killed soldiers and payments to wounded and disabled troops. Musicians who perform at the concerts volunteer their services — […]
I’ve long wondered how conservative tea-baggers can scream and yell about our government and socialism, while at the same time taking pretty much everything that Fox News tells them on faith, even when it is a blatant lie and goes against real conservative values. A recent survey says that 74% of Republican-leaning Americans say that […]
Fox News heavily promoted the “Tea Party Express”, a bus tour around the country of tea party events. But now, it turns out that over two-thirds of the money that was donated by Tea Partiers to this event was channeled back to Republican political operatives. The Tea Party Express was organized by the political action […]
I think this speaks for itself (note that the numbers add up to 120%): So the real question is: Did Fox News falsify research to support their own theories on Global Warming? I think it is pretty obvious they did. Fox News, the news for people who are too stupid to add. UPDATE: Jon Stewart […]
You know things have gotten pretty ironic when it is the Libertarians defending Obama. What wasn’t ironic was the attack from Fox News that prompted the defense — their article “Obama Shatters Spending Record for First-Year Presidents” (which was promptly picked up by the Drudge Report): President Obama has shattered the budget record for first-year […]
Last night on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News, former Bush Press Secretary Dana Perino made the astounding statement “We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term.” See for yourself: What was 9/11? Chopped liver? Hannity doesn’t seem to notice, having lost his ability to tell truth from lies […]
First, Sean Hannity does a segment on Michelle Bachmann’s healthcare protest, but sneakily shows video of a much larger protest from last summer, assuming its viewers aren’t quite bright enough to figure that out. Second, The Daily Show catches the lie and exposes it. Third, (amazingly) Hannity gives a sort-of apology on his program for […]
