Foxsplaining Obamagate

Desi Lydic watches Fox News for 48 hours and then Foxsplains “Obamagate” on The Daily Show. It all makes sense to me now! For those who don’t like to watch Fox News, here’s a slightly different explanation of Obamagate:

Warren on SNL

This SNL opening reminds me why I love both Kate McKinnon and Elizabeth Warren.

Losing a loved one to Fox News

A fairly short but fascinating article in New York Magazine, “What I’ve Learned From Collecting Stories of People Whose Loved Ones Were Transformed by Fox News“. Unlike Fox News, the article is actually somewhat “Fair and Balanced”, not just blaming Fox News, but also MSNBC and how some people have a similar transformation from that. […]

Bad Jobs

Fox News tweeted the following graphic in a truly pitiful attempt to make Donald Trump look good. The graphic shows the unemployment rate 100 days after each of the last four presidents took office: You have to be some amazing kind of stupid to think that a president can make any change to the unemployment […]

Sexism ‘R’ Us

Sexism is alive and well in the US. First we elect a president who publicly brags about grabbing women by the pussy. I mean, seriously? However, I suppose Trump voters could possibly excuse this by claiming that they voted for him for other reasons. But consider this. Recently, Bill O’Reilly and Fox News paid out […]

The Future of Fox News?

One bit of ironic news is that one of the major causes of our current national dysfunction, Fox News, is not doing very well. Roger Ailes, the creator of the greatest faux news propaganda machine in our nation’s history, is long gone. And now, Megyn Kelly has announced that she is leaving Fox News and […]

Obama on Fox News

President Obama appeared on Fox News Sunday and was interviewed by Chris Wallace. Wallace asked Obama why he thought voters were expressing such anger and frustration this election. Obama responded by calling out how both sides are in their own bubble where they just hear things that reinforce their own opinions and fears, saying “I […]

Happy Hallowe’en!

© Tom Toles Are you scared yet? I always expected that people would eventually get tired of all the fear tactics and start ignoring them, but Fox News is still popular, and the upcoming election seems to indicate that fear still works.

Using Irony Ironically

“BioShock Infinite” is a computer game set in the floating city of Columbia, which is run by a religious zealot and largely populated by xenophobic racists who wage war against the heathens of the world (i.e., those people who don’t live in Columbia). In this city the idea of “America” has become a kind of […]

The Two Faces of Sean Hannity and Fox News

The video is far worse. Hannity actively promoting NSA surveillance then, over and over again, versus decrying it as unconstitutional now: What a two-faced tool.

Is Fox News Too Liberal?

I can’t decide if this is insane or brilliant. A Tea Party group organized a three-day boycott of Fox News, claiming the right-wing “news” source is too liberal. The boycott started Thursday and ended this morning. According to the group’s website: FOX needs the Tea Party/conservatives more than the conservatives need FOX after FOX turned […]

Bullshit Mountain

Jon Stewart on Fox News defending Romney’s video comments calling 47% of Americans “freeloaders”: I know they believe that the best defense is a (good?) offense, but um, seriously? “This is factually accurate, what Romney is saying.” ??? “I don’t understand what the controversy is. I think Mr. Romney should campaign on this point.” ??? […]

Fox Discovers Unknown Article 28 of U.S. Constitution.

Fox News needs to study up on Article V of the United States Constitution. Unless Fox is aware of a clause written using invisible ink saying “a rightwing faux news service may amend this document to provide rhetorical cover for baseless opinion”, Articles cannot be added by Fox fiat. Media Matters reports: Fox national correspondent Steve […]

Jon Stewart, Master of Irony

How can Jon Stewart make me laugh, while at the same time making me ashamed to live in the same country as some of these people he shows in his video clips: Incidentally, even though Jon doesn’t specifically mention Fox News, almost all of the video clips shown are from Fox (and the other three […]
