So F**king What? ObamaCare Makes Smokers Pay More?
And the problem here is what? The Fox Nationalists are very concerned about the allegation that “ObamaCare Makes Smokers Pay $5,100 More A Year.” It’s a display of empty outrage because insurance companies have required smokers to pay higher premiums for years. And why shouldn’t they? Smokers are willfully engaging in behavior that will result [...]

Sarah Palin Refudiates Fox News – Or You Can’t Fire Me, I Quit
A source close to Sarah Palin says she has declined to accept the offer from Fox News to renew her contract which expired at the end of 2012.

So F**king What? Fox News Panics Over Spanish Speaking Muslims
Can anyone explain what the Fox Nationalists find so newsworthy about this? A billboard that gives information about where people can go to learn more about Islam doesn’t seem like something that would stir up much controversy. It isn’t espousing a point of view. It isn’t disparaging any other faith. It would only be of [...]

Colonel Eugene Householder on opposing reforms to combat protocol: “The army is not a sociological laboratory; to be effective it must be organized and trained according to the principles which will ensure success … Experiments are a danger to efficiency, discipline and morale and would result in ultimate defeat.” That was the argument in 1941 [...]

Glenn Beck’s Conspiracy Theory About Conspiracy Theories
Sometimes the dementia of right-wing fabulists is a richer vein of comedy than a Marx Brothers marathon. And speaking of Marx (Karl), his press agent, Glenn Beck, is contributing more than his fair share of unintentional hilarity to a nation thirsty for humor. On his silly and mostly ignored webcast, Beck set out to warn [...]

Fox Nation vs. Reality: Clinton/Benghazi Facts Don’t Make A Difference On Fox
The congressional hearings on Benghazi continued today with their star attraction, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. It was as predictable a production of theatrics as might have been expected with Republicans spewing outlandish accusations at Clinton and Democrats rushing to her defense.

Canada’s Failing Sun TV (Fox News North) Appeals To Government For Help
Sun TV is a rabidly right-wing cable network in Canada that has been compared to Fox News. However, Canadians do not seem to be as gullible as America’s Teabaggers and are not tuning in.

Fox News Covers the Obama Inauguration: ‘Saddest Day Of The Year’
Seconds after the first inauguration of President Obama, Chris Wallace of Fox News speculated that he wasn’t really president because the oath was flubbed by Chief Justice John Roberts.

FoxBusters: Right-Wing Media Seek To Disown GOP Crooks
On several notorious occasions Fox News has “accidentally” labeled dishonest or scandalized Republicans as Democrats. It seems to be a strategy on their part to protect the GOP from bad publicity while tarnishing their opponents. And despite their “zero tolerance policy” for such errors, they never air corrections or apologies. Consequently, it should not come [...]
