For instance, they posted an article with this headline:<\/p>\n<p><strong>One of the Most Corrupt Presidents in Modern Times.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe headline refers to a comment made by uber-rightist congressman, Darrell Issa who will shortly be chairing a festival of investigations aimed at the White House. But the headline doesn&#8217;t contain any attribution. So it appears to be Fox&#8217;s assessment of President Obama, or just a generalized insult for the benefit of the FoxPods. But in any case, there is nothing to back up the outrageous claim. They probably just thought it would look good on their home page.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is this crucial bit of breaking news:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8216;Nostradamus&#8217; of Middle East Predicts Unprecedented Crisis for Obama in 2011.<\/strong><br \/>\nFirst of all, predicting that a president is going to encounter a crisis is about as bold as predicting that Sarah Palin will say something mind-numbingly dumb in 2011 (which I am now going on record as predicting). But what makes this even more of a head-scratcher is the notion that anybody cares what this alleged seer has to say. Is the Fox Factory of lies so overextended that they need to import nonsense like this?<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t answer that last question &#8211; at least until you see the next headline:<\/p>\n<p><strong>If the Truth Got Out About Obama There Would Be a Civil War.<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce again there is no attribution for this assertion. But when you click on the link you are presented with a YouTube audio clip of wingnut Steve Malzberg&#8217;s radio show with his guest Jeff Kuhner of the <em>&#8220;Moonie&#8221;<\/em> Washington Times. After giggling like schoolgirls over their agreement that Obama hates Jesus, the pair launched into an extended rant about the President holding office illegally because of his foreign birth. That&#8217;s right, the <em>&#8220;truth&#8221;<\/em> that Fox Nation thinks will immerse America into a civil war, should it get out, is that Obama is a secret Kenyan.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, after jumping feet first into Birtherism, the Fox Nationalists demonstrate their cognitive retardation by posting this headline:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Do Democrats Keep Talking About the Birth Certificate?<\/strong><br \/>\nDo they mean <em>&#8220;Democrats&#8221;<\/em> like Malzberg and Kuhner? For the record, the only time Democrats talk about Obama&#8217;s birth certificate is to respond to, or make fun of, right-wingers who still believe that Obama is a Manchurian president sent here to turn America into a Muslim theocracy. And Fox continues to prove that they are at the center of that lunatic theory.<\/p>\n<p>Fox Nation is entering the new year with a firm commitment to the brand of disinformation that they have labored so hard to perfect. They adhere to a narrow bias against all things Democratic or liberal, and in favor of all things corporate and power sustaining. And apparently, as demonstrated by this rash of asinine articles hitting the web in the opening days of the year, they aren&#8217;t even going to try to hide their prejudice and deceit.<\/p>\n<p>Fasten your seat belts, it&#8217;s going to be a bumpy year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the new year gets underway, the folks at Fox Nation returned to work to provide more of the brainless idiot bait for which they have become so well known.
