Patriotism is the last refuge of Sean Hannity

Friday, March 19, 2010

If patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel, then that makes Sean Hannity a scoundrel. For the last few years, Hannity has been promoting “Freedom Concerts” that promise to give college scholarships to the children of killed soldiers and payments to wounded and disabled troops. Musicians who perform at the concerts volunteer their services [...]

How I gained respect for the Tea-baggers

Saturday, February 13, 2010

I’ve long wondered how conservative tea-baggers can scream and yell about our government and socialism, while at the same time taking pretty much everything that Fox News tells them on faith, even when it is a blatant lie and goes against real conservative values. A recent survey says that 74% of Republican-leaning Americans say that [...]

Fox News proves that there is a sucker born every minute

Saturday, January 2, 2010

Fox News heavily promoted the “Tea Party Express”, a bus tour around the country of tea party events. But now, it turns out that over two-thirds of the money that was donated by Tea Partiers to this event was channeled back to Republican political operatives.
The Tea Party Express was organized by the political action committee [...]

Fox caught falsifying research about falsifying research

Wednesday, December 9, 2009

I think this speaks for itself (note that the numbers add up to 120%):

So the real question is: Did Fox News falsify research to support their own theories on Global Warming? I think it is pretty obvious they did.
Fox News, the news for people who are too stupid to add.
UPDATE: Jon Stewart has a [...]

The drunken sailors are blaming Obama for their own hangovers

Monday, November 30, 2009

You know things have gotten pretty ironic when it is the Libertarians defending Obama.
What wasn’t ironic was the attack from Fox News that prompted the defense — their article “Obama Shatters Spending Record for First-Year Presidents” (which was promptly picked up by the Drudge Report):
President Obama has shattered the budget record for first-year presidents — [...]

I’ve heard Big Lies, but this is ridiculous

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

Last night on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News, former Bush Press Secretary Dana Perino made the astounding statement “We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term.” See for yourself:

What was 9/11? Chopped liver?
Hannity doesn’t seem to notice, having lost his ability to tell truth from lies a [...]

Jon Stewart responds to Sean Hannity

Friday, November 13, 2009

First, Sean Hannity does a segment on Michelle Bachmann’s healthcare protest, but sneakily shows video of a much larger protest from last summer, assuming its viewers aren’t quite bright enough to figure that out. Second, The Daily Show catches the lie and exposes it. Third, (amazingly) Hannity gives a sort-of apology on his program [...]

Fox News tries to credit Bush for economic recovery

Friday, October 16, 2009

After trying to blame Obama for the current economic mess (which happened even before Obama was elected), now that the economy is showing signs of recovery, Fox News host Neal Cavuto is trying to give credit for the recovery to Bush.
Maybe Fox News is just an arm of the Republican Party. Don’t they know [...]

Glenn Beck Can’t Win

Monday, October 12, 2009

Why is it the best articles about American politics come from the foreign press? Is it because you need a little distance in order to get a good perspective, or is it that the US press just really sucks?
Anyway, there is a very good article written by a British journalist about Glenn Beck. The [...]

The Meme Machine Collides with Reality

Friday, October 9, 2009

It seems like the Republican strategy recently has been to throw out an enormous number of negative memes about Obama, to see if any stick.
First, they said that he was doing too much. Between cap and trade to roll back global warming, bailing out the economy with the stimulus bill, appointing a hispanic woman to [...]
