In addition calling participants in Occupy Wall Street "ravers who sound like the Unibomber" and asking for what sounded a lot like Barack Obama's assassination, Fox News commentator Liz Trotta can add a dubious new achievement to her resume: person who officially thinks that United State's servicewomen who are raped by their fellow soldiers should've seen it coming. What did they expect? More »

After vigorously denying allegations by his second wife Marianne that he requested an open marriage, Newt Gingrich's campaign has been ballooning faster than a marshmallow left untended in the microwave.  If his popularity continues to rise at this rate, the Republican primary could explode in a gooey white mess 217 days premature of its national convention in bukkake-fest (take Google's word for it) host city Tampa Bay.  While most members hiding in the still rational enclaves of the GOP might see Gingrich's recent rally as a sign of party instability and his marital drama as evidence of his idiosyncrasies, at least one commenter sees Gingrich's three marriages as proof that the man is so damn charismatic that what Republicans should really be worried about is not his electability but whether America would be able to resist a third term in Gingrich's inevitable presidency.

Fox News is commemorating this Martin Luther King, Jr day by inviting his niece, Dr. Alveda King, to come and speak about his legacy. He was a conservative, she explained, who hated abortion. Except that isn't even close to true, not even the tiniest bit. Leave it to Fox News to wrap a crap sandwich in a lie and call it history. More »

If you thought Fox News was going to take a break from being completely obnoxious for the holidays, you were sadly mistaken. In a move that can only be described as asinine, Fox Latin America put up a poll on Facebook asking their followers who they thought was responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. Here were the three possible answers: Pontius Pilate, the Jewish People, or the High Priests. More »

Fox News anchor and professional mom Megyn Kelly has made a name for herself not only for demonstrating how alternate spellings of common first names are terrible, but also for breaking step with her conservative pundit colleagues to defend paid maternity leave and upper mobility for people born into the middle class. You know, stuff Megyn Kelly did. What a brave, brave lady. More »

In a recent segment Fox Business Network wondered "Are Liberals Trying To Brainwash Your Kids Against Capitalism?" and it's hard to argue that they aren't! (Particularly when you roll your eyes and scream while the one liberal on the show speaks.) Several Fox anchors and a representative from the Media Research Center are furious that the villain in The Muppet Movie is oil baron Tex Richman. If you just look at recent kid favorites Cars 2 and There Will Be Blood it's clear that Hollywood is trying to bias children against big oil, and capitalism in general. And don't get them started on that new "food insecure" muppet! As one pundit remarks, "There's all these programs to take care of hungry kids. Why would that muppet be starving?" (We're not sure either. Let's ask the 17 million American children who often go hungry.) More »

No news outlet offers more thorough coverage of the issues than Fox News. Rather than just telling people there's a problem with weight scrutiny in the media, yesterday they showed them by running an interview with Growing Pains actress Tracey Gold about her struggle with anorexia directly above a slideshow titled, "Pregnant Or Burrito Grande?" on the entertainment section of the network's website.

Did you know that every single day, America's troops put their lives on the line so that we can be free to sit in recliners and watch Fox News? Well, looks like some terrible things are afoot in Detroit, where one brave white man has endeavored to expose the treachery of black factory workers partying during their lunch breaks. And all the bald eagles weep gratefully. More »

Friend of Fox Michele Bachmann appeared on Fox & Friends with two angry dudes and one shouting woman this morning to gnaw on her r sounds and promote her new book. During the interview, it was revealed that Bachmann worked as a babysitter when she was a teenager, and that one of her charges was none other than perpetually astonished concerned mother Gretchen Carlson.

Ann Coulter, voted Least Huggable American for 15 years straight, has taken a break from eating the faces of live kittens and marinating in an oil drum filled with her own bile to appear on Sean Hannity's Fox News show. During her appearance yesterday, she had some super complimentary things to say about Herman Cain, and, really, all of the Republicans' blacks, which are, blacks-wise, top notch. More »

Last night's Fox News-hosted Republican debate in Iowa was basically set up to have the candidates snipe at each other — even on Fox News, theater over ideology — and they mostly obliged, particularly Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann. But there was at least one point where the audience turned on the moderators: When Byron York asked her if she would be submissive to her husband as president. More »

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly returned to her show, America Live, on Monday following a three-month maternity leave. Kelly's first order of business? To shame talk radio host Mike Gallagher for calling her maternity leave "a racket." On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart pointed out that Kelly hasn't always been such a big supporter of moms on maternity leave—and he brought out the archival footage to prove it. Video of the segment is above. More »

Chris Wallace watched a lot of South Park before interviewing Jon Stewart this morning, but apparently he didn't see any of his previous appearances on news programs. It seems Stewart was supposed to crumble when Wallace accused him of being a liberal ideologue, but instead he spends the entire interview taking apart Wallace's shoddy arguments. (There is a point to be made about Stewart toeing the line between journalist and comedian, but Wallace presents it poorly.) Fox News' use of a clip from Comedy Central's roast of Pamela Anderson is particularly idiotic, but perhaps the point of this interview wasn't to successfully prove a point. The home audience was probably convinced that Wallace cut Stewart down a peg, because as the fake news anchor says, "Who are the most consistently misinformed media viewers? The most consistently misinformed? Fox. Fox viewers. Consistently, every poll." More »

With Rupert Murdoch out of the country, Jane Lynch filled in as the Acting Chair and CEO of Fox News Corp for the kickoff of year's D9 conference. Her proposed changes include: convincing Glenn Beck to play a patient on an upcoming episode of House, slapping a Cathy comic on the front page of every Wall Street Journal, and giving Sarah Palin a guest spot on Glee to sing a song called "Look At Me, I'm Batshit Crazy." Obviously we're all for it. More »

Ever since meeting Sarah Palin—and especially now that conservative freakazoid Michele Bachmann is considering running in 2012—Fox News has taken a sudden interest in defending women from sexist, degrading remarks, developing a recent obsession with the comments Bill Maher has made about the two women. So is Fox News our knight in shining armor, saving us from the big comedians of the world? Hardly, as evidenced by this reel of comments made about women by their very own on-air personalities. It would seem that it's only "sexism" when unflattering remarks are made about conservative women. Also, it's not "sexism" if the remarks are actually compliments, like when referring to a congresswoman as "hot." More »

Last Friday, on his HBO show Real Time, Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a "dumb twat." Since then, Fox News—home of Palin's political commentary—has apparently been harassing the National Organization for Women to come out against Maher in defense of Palin. Yesterday NOW told the network, that it's a "known fact" that it does not correspond with FOX News. But in her blog NOW's communications director Lisa Bennett said, "Listen, supposedly progressive men (ok, and women, too): Cut the crap! Stop degrading women with whom you disagree and/or don't like by using female body terms or other gender-associated slurs." But Bennett went on to call out the right-wing media for its duplicitous interest in sexism after years of ignoring the matter: More »
