The New GOP Base: Rich, Philandering, Terrorist Symps
This election, like any election, is a contest of persuading targeted blocks of voters to support your candidacy. It’s a deceptively complex game of identifying groups of people with characteristics that are in harmony with the theme of your campaign and getting them to the polls. Democrats typically solicit union members, middle-income families, senior citizens, [...]
Fox Nation vs. Reality: Viewers Tuning Out Obama?
OK, let’s face it. No one expected Fox News to express even the weakest praise for President Obama’s State of the Union speech. Never mind that 91% of Americans who watched the speech approved of the proposals presented in it. Fox has a reputation of knee-jerk negativity to uphold, and they didn’t disappoint. Here is [...]
Wall Street Journal On The GOP: If They Don’t Want To Lose, They Shouldn’t Run With Losers
Bret Stephens, the deputy editorial page editor for the Wall Street Journal, published an article this morning that begins… “Let’s just say right now what voters will be saying in November, once Barack Obama has been re-elected: Republicans deserve to lose.“ The column is an indictment of the whole Republican field, but with an emphasis [...]
U.S. Falls to 47th Place On Press Freedom Index
Reporters Without Borders released their annual Press Freedom Index today that ranks 179 countries for their treatment of journalists and respect for a free and independent press. There were some points of light internationally, but as their report notes: “Crackdown was the word of the year in 2011. Never has freedom of information been so [...]
Laugh-Track Republicans Need Debate Audience To Tell Them What To Think
The Republican Party has made a pariah of Hollywood, which they regard as a bastion of liberal propagandists bent on manipulating public opinion. But after the reaction to last night’s debate in Tampa, Florida, it is apparent that it is the GOP that is wedded to Tinseltown’s tactics. Commonly known as “laugh-tracks,” the procedure used [...]
Fox News Adopts Newt Gingrich’s Alinsky Rhetoric
At today’s White House press briefing a question was asked that illustrates the press corps’ dedication to the news that America cares about most: The question that pushed this item to the top of Fox Nation was asked by none other than Fox News White House correspondent, Ed Henry. So what we have here is [...]
Rupert Murdoch Proposes Legislation To Outlaw Fox News
The chairman and CEO of News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, has been busily Tweeting his support for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). His point invariably refers to nefarious characters who are trying to steal his intellectual property. And not one for understatement, Murdoch has labeled his opponents as terrorists. SOPA was drafted in a manner [...]
Gabrielle Giffords To Resign From Congress: Fox Nation’s Nauseating Response
A year ago this month, in a shopping mall in Tucson, Arizona, a shocking and tragic massacre occurred that took the lives of six people and wounded 13 others, including U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Giffords was shot in the head and has been fighting courageously to restore her health. She has been making what doctors [...]
Will There Be Another Live Tea Party Response To The State Of The Union?
After last year’s State of the Union address by President Obama, the Tea Party produced a response delivered by Michele Bachmann, the founder of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus. Astonishingly, this irrelevant and amateurish production was broadcast live by CNN immediately following the Republican response. It was one of the most surreal and embarrassing lapses [...]
Fox News Psycho Analyst: Newt Gingrich’s Adultery Means A Stronger America
The Republican Party has long sought to position itself as the party of family values. They fiercely defend what they call “traditional” marriage. They are the epitome of the faithful, sacred, one-man, one-woman, Till Death Do Us Party. Except when it is politically inconvenient. With the Republican primary race settling down to a two man [...]
Republicans Are Afraid Of MSNBC
If you think that you have been inundated with Republican candidates yelping at one another on television for the past year, you would be right. So far there have been 17 GOP primary debates aired in a campaign season that has seen only two actual elections take place (Iowa and New Hampshire). Here’s an interesting [...]
Herman Cain Makes His Unconventional Endorsement For President
The world has been on the edge of its seat for the past several weeks in anticipation of who former GOP candidate Herman Cain would endorse for President of the United States of America. He promised that his would be an “unconventional” endorsement. But the wait is over. At the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, Cain [...]
Fox Nation Review Of Obama Ad Riddled With Falsehoods
The Obama campaign just released its first advertisement of this election season. It focused on his record of ethics and energy independence, specifically addressing the phony allegations from “secretive oil billionaires” (the Koch brothers?). It did not take long for Fox News to start its attack on the ad by posting two articles this morning [...]
Rupert Murdoch Calls Blogosphere Terrorists For Opposing SOPA
It’s good to know that the Chairman of the parent company of Fox News isn’t a histrionic panic-monger who wallows in absurd hyperbole. No, it is perfectly reasonable for Rupert Murdoch to call members of the Internet community terrorists just because he disagrees with their position in opposition to the censorious, power-grabbing legislation speciously known [...]
Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Case Of The Tea Party Smoke Bomber
If there is still anyone who wonders where Fox News gets the information it publishes, let there be no mistake – They make it up. Take, for instance, this article featured on Fox Nation with the headline, “Occupier (Not a Tea Partier) Throws Smoke Bomb Over White House Fence.” The Fox Nationalists linked to an [...]
When Fox News Anchor Megyn Kelly Is Right, She’s Right
You have to give Megyn Kelly some credit. Today she conducted a scintillating debate about the cover of Newsweek magazine that featured President Obama and the headline, “Why Are Obama’s Critics So Dumb?” Kelly’s razor sharp intellect immediately focused in on the most relevant question that arose from that controversial title. It didn’t have anything [...]
Fox News On Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns: Who Cares?
The Fox News morning program, Fox & Friends, has a unique quality that differentiates it from the rest of the Fox News schedule. In addition to the lies, propaganda, and GOP PR that fills the network’s fare, Fox & Friends features a trio of hosts who are called anchors only because of how much they [...]
GOP Mocks Rachel Maddow In Support Of The Keystone XL Pipeline
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) just released a video that they are directing to constituents in 48 congressional districts represented by Democrats. The video is a satire of an MSNBC promo for the Rachel Maddow Show. Here is Maddow’s video: And here is the NRCC version: Not surprisingly, the NRCC has chosen to mislead [...]
Has The Tea Party Gone Cold?
An article today in The Hill has collected some evidence of the fading influence of the Tea Party. The author, Josh Lederman, leads off the column with the declarative statement that “The Tea Party is falling to pieces.” He then goes on to enumerate the reasons for that assessment, including: It’s hard to imagine a [...]
Rupert Murdoch Tweets Up A Storm For SOPA
New Twitter user, Rupert Murdoch, has been busily cramming his support for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) into 140 characters. His advocacy for SOPA is a thinly disguised scheme to squeeze out more profits for his company at the expense of free speech and a vibrant, innovative Internet environment. His latest use of social [...]
