Giving Fox News A Piece Of Your Mind - On The Air
Earlier in the week, we posted the following video of one of our favorite liberal comics (and Laughing Liberally regular) Lee Camp telling us what he thinks of Fox News - while on Fox News. Now, in an essay on...

A Parade of Propaganda
Comedian and liberal activist Lee Camp told off Fox News...live on Fox News. Yes, the Emperor, having been told he was naked (or in this case told that Fox "News" is nothing more than a "parade of propaganda") had no...

The Funny Frenzy of Fox
Not to wade too deeply into the somewhat veiled murmurs of McCain scandalia, but it's worth noting Chris Bowers' take at Open Left on Fox's response to the Times article: It is pretty hilarious to see a "news" outlet issue...

We Still Have Karl Rove to Kick Around
Remember when Karl Rove left the White House? Probably to do something like spend more time with his family? Well, it looks like his family has welcomed him home. Fox News has announced that he's joining their team. Talk about...

More Fox Follies
By this time, does anyone even call them a news station anymore? Daily Kos has up a great reel of Fox flubs -- distortions, deceptions, just plain lies and some really shoddy "reporting." Like Bushisms, this story is getting so...

Oh...O'Reilly
Brave New Films has a whole series of who, what and when Fox attacks...but this time, Bill O'Reilly took it to a more physically intense level. Just a dose of happiness to start the day...Happy New Hampshire Primary Day....

The Year That Was
Think Progress has a fun -- if a bit sad -- reminder of some of their most popular posts of the year. Some remind you of stories you wish would go away: the constant claims of "improvements" in Iraq, the...

White House Hearts Fox News
In case there's any doubt about the close kissing-cousin relationship between Fox News and the White House, cast it aside: Tony Snow, who left Fox to become the President's spokesperson, is returning to guest host the O'Reilly Factor. Thank you,...

Childish But Funny
The latest in the ongoing work of Brave New Films to reveal Fox for exactly the hollow shell of a news organization it is: Fox News Porn. You'll never watch Fox in the same way again (not that you ever...

Imagine A Chuck E. Cheese Game Designed By David Brock
And you might have an idea of what the following pleasant afternoon diversion is like. But we'd play it, just to be sure....

Fox Business News: Words Fail
One hopes for Neil Cavuto's sake that this is not the kind of content we can expect from Fox's Business News channel. (hat-tip to Oliver Willis)...

Taking Care of Fox's Business
With Fox News bubbling with excitement over their upcoming business channel, our friends at Brave New Films have put together this great short to remind us that the business of Fox isn't business...it's mindlessness. Thanks, gang, for a laugh --...

Petraeus: The General from Fox News
If you were not yet convinced that General Petraeus' delivery of the White House's report on "progress" in Iraq to Congress is a thoroughly cynical PR ploy, you should be now. Think Progress posts on General Petraeus' "exclusive" appearance on...

Hooray for Scheduling Conflicts!
Today, Fox News announced that they are canceling their Democratic presidential debate. Though the Congressional Black Caucus blames the cancelation on "scheduling challenges," it is clear that there were other factors involved, mainly the decision of three major candidates (Senators...
-
Iran/q
It's so easy, just switch the last letter and "Iraq" becomes "Iran." Fox News will barely have to edit their jingoistic, Hollywood-style graphics if they help the Bush administration march us into another military confrontation. Don't think that's what Fox...

Your Tax Dollars at Work
We weren't surprised to learn that Fox News was manipulating Wikipedia entries (including the entry of Al Franken) -- after all, mangling the truth is what they do best. It was comical that they did it so clumsily and were...

Fox Should Just Become A Comedy Channel
While Fox's efforts at creating a comedy equivalent to The Daily Show have been ill-received, they could consider just going into comedy as a whole...because getting caught editing the Wikipedia entry on Al Franken is just funny. From Matt Stoller...

Chris Dodd Makes Quick Work - VERY Quick Work - of O'Reilly
So it seems that Billo has spent much of his time as of late making slanderous statements about us participants at Yearly Kos - and Chris Dodd has had enough. Just listen and enjoy....

Fox Is Scared
I don't know how a fox acts in the wild, but I do know that when Fox (the channel formerly known as "news") is scared, it attacks. Our friends at Brave New Films have released a latest video in their...

Of Fox and FEMA
Even though every frontrunner has refused to participate, the Congressional Black Caucus is continuing with its plan to host a Fox News-sponsored Democratic debate in September. I suppose next they'll be hosting debates with Augusta Golf Club, Denny's and FEMA....

And We Thought Foxes Would Love the Earth
The poor fox...an animal already known for its cunning and mischief-making ways...now its reputation is only made worse by a "news" agency that stole its name. And now that same news agency is helping polluters steal the fox's habitat as...

Last Week's Top 10
Last week saw Fox News confusing two Black members of Congress, Senator Clinton taking a dig at Dick Cheney and Homer Simpson spouting right-wing talking points. Such gems can get lost in the relentless pace of the 24-hour news cycle:...

Faux News: 3rd Time's a Charm
First they showed footage of Congressman Conyers as they discussed the indictment of Congressman Jefferson. I'm sure it had nothing to do with both men being Black. Then they "apologized" -- to the viewers, that is. They didn't apologize to...

Faux News Issues a Faux Apology
Fox News showed video footage of Rep. John Conyers as they spoke of the indictments of Rep. William Jefferson the other day. Innocent mistake, right? Anybody could confuse two Black members of Congress...anyone who doesn't care much about Black members...

Faux News At It Again
As they covered the William Jefferson scandal, you'd think the most distinctly Fox-ish element of the Fox News coverage would be the way they acted like the Justice Department had taken so long too act (because we all know the...
