FOX News

Here's Dan Abrams on FOX's admission through action:

FOX news discusses education in a really uneducated way

"Eductaion"? Them FOX peoples have sum intellimegence.

Since Rove's influence over McCain's campaign seems to be growing by the minute, I wonder how FOX can get by with labeling him as such? Oh wait - it is FOX, so they aren't news, they are the propaganda station. These are the same people who called the rest of the media "fear mongers" when they were warning about the pending collapse of our economy.

I believe we need body language experts to dissect this action for us. Perhaps FOX can recommend one?

Apparently the employees at FOX aren't drinking the kool-aide that Murdoch and Co. want to serve up:

Fox News' very own anchors are speaking out - and walking off - over what they perceive to be "Obama-bashing" on their network.

This morning on "Fox and Friends," Brian Kilmeade walked off the set after a dispute with his co-hosts Gretchen Carlson (she who celebrates deadly floods) and Steve Doocy over Obama's comment that his grandmother is a "typical white person." Kilmeade argued that the remark needed to be taken in context and eventually got so fed up with his co-hosts that he walked off set.

Later, "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace came on the show and railed against "Fox and Friends" for what he called "Obama-bashing."

Unless you are at FOX News:

While grappling with MSNBC and CNN for viewers, Fox News has also been battling a smaller, more insidious enemy closer to home: bed bugs in its Midtown Manhattan newsroom. In an interview on Monday, Warren Vandeveer, senior vice president for operations and engineering at Fox News, said the cable channel had realized it had a problem a few weeks ago, when an employee "caught a bug and showed it to us." An exterminator determined that the incursion was limited to a "very small area in the newsroom." But the source of the bugs was not determined until the exterminator inspected the homes of about 20 employees. Mr. Vandeveer said the exterminator later described one employee's home as having "the worst infestation he had seen in 25 years in the business." After making large bags available for employees to stash their belongings, and replacing a number of fabric-covered desk chairs, Mr. Vandeveer said that the treatments had ended about a week ago, and that the problem had been contained. "It's totally eradicated," he said.

Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

Last night Colbert said that FOX cancelled Gibson. According to TVNewser, Gibson hasn't been on since February, because of primary coverage.

So could it be true? Could Gibson be out? That would make the airwaves a little cleaner. Maybe he and Tucker can join forces to spend some quality time with their hate.

A viewer's letter is read on FOX news:

Obama will sit down with anyone, including Iran's Ahmadinejad, who calls for the death of the Great Satan America, but FNS, that's where he draws the line. Can we seriously believe he can confront America's adversaries when he won't even sit down with you?

Perhaps that is rather telling. It's telling FOX that they are worse than the "terrorist" nations.

Watch as a liberal comedian tells off FOX news on FOX news. (h/t Think Progress)

You can tune into FOX news and their new contributor - Karl Rove. I am sure he will give a fully impartial view of what's going on. Sure he will - just trust him.

I shit you not. I got this from Andrew Sullivan, who also adds:

I think they'd feel fine operating in North Korea, don't you?

Yes they would.

I am very proud to see you taking up the disgusting issue of our nation's heroes living on the streets. More attention must be garnered for our homeless veterans.

I also found this part of your latest piece very troubling:

The Veterans Administration suggests that there are 193,000 homeless veterans in this country; I believe that number is closer to 500,000.

I must say that I agree. We all know that government estimates on such news usually err on the conservative side. I was, however, wondering what you think of people who dismiss even the most likely low-end number the VA has released? What if someone was to say something like:

They (the homeless vets) may be out there, but there’s not many of them out there.

You see that is an actual quote from one of your colleagues. As matter of fact this is a quote from a colleague of yours and one you mention in your article:

At last, people with some political and news-making muscle are talking about a true American tragedy: homeless veterans. On his radio and TV shows, Bill O'Reilly commented on Sen. John Edward’s remarks on the plight of homeless veterans.

Yes it is great that John Edwards has made poverty a front issue of his campaign, however what do you think about Bill calling Edwards a "charlatan" for his work?

I am troubled by how you seem to ignore the ignorance your colleague, Bill O'Reilly, has exhibited on this issue. You state this in your article:

The commentary of Bill O'Reilly about John Edwards at least had the issue on the front pages and on TV. For many in government the homeless is a non-issue, citizens of this great country who are mentally sick living in their cars does not get anyone votes. However, homeless veterans, even if it's one, let alone thousands, ought to cause governments to fall. A nation that does not care for its veterans does not deserve them. We cannot ever be truly great until all of us have a place to sleep and getting help for what makes us sick. If we continue to do nothing about our homeless and our homeless veterans then … WE SUCK.

Yes we do suck, but doesn't it suck more when a person with a national audience tries to diminish the issue by ignoring the actual numbers? Bill has been on this rampage for over a week now and won't budge from his position. He is still trying to downplay how many homeless vets this country has.

So Col. Hunt, I was wondering if you will be going on The Factor to set Bill O'Reilly straight. Will you place the lives of our brave soldiers ahead of your employer's big star?

Sadly I don't think this will be the case. It is obvious by the way you have tried to ignore the gross misrepresentation of the facts Bill has been engaging in night after night. Again I think it is very commendable that you are willing to help bring this issue forward and I am also very grateful for your service to our nation, but I can't help but think that you are putting Rupert Murdoch and Bill O'Reilly ahead of our soldiers. That is indeed troubling.

Talk about being delusional.

Very Interesting

Yeah I am sure the wingnuts will try to lecture me on first amendment rights and all, but that is how Brian Kilmead on Fox news thinks we should treat Code Pink:

A Fox News morning host has a novel idea to handle those pesky Code Pink protesters who disrupt political events and Congressional hearings: 50,000 volts of electricity.

Brian Kilmead shared his ever-so-evolved views on crowd control Monday morning in a Fox & Friends discussion of a Code Pink-disrupted Hillary Clinton speech. His answer to annoying anti-war types? Tasers or Billy clubs.

“They should Tase this guy,” Kilmead says. “At one point with security so high and tensions on edge, don’t you think they’re going to get at the very least Tased or beaten to a pulp by somebody? These people look threatening.”

So my thinking is that Code Pink just disrupts political events, FOX news disrupts our entire democracy. Maybe Kilmead needs tazed or Billy clubbed.

Should someone on a national television channel be allowed to say this? I wonder how FOX would react if Keith Olbermann said we should start tazzing Bill O'Reilly? You can bet there would be legal proceedings on it. I guess this is the fascist agenda Roger Ailes is trying to promote through his channel. Maybe he also needs tazzed!
