Stupid Is As Stupid Does
So then Fox put up this chyron: Apparently, the brainiacs at Fox think that a nickel coin actually contains a five cents worth of the element nickel. Maybe they also think that a $20 bill is 20 times bigger than a $1 bill. Idiots.
Bill O’Reilly: “The White Establishment Is Now The Minority”
Watch him lament. And be racist (it's the non-white majority that wants handouts and stuff for free).
Quote Of The Day
So yesterday, the Drudge Report, the Daily Caller and Sean Hannity tease everyone, saying that they have a "bombshell video" of Obama in 2007 making racially-charged comments. And then they revealed the video last night. It was a speech Obama delivered in 2007, as a presidential candidate, not at some secret fundraiser, but in front of a large audience at … Read More

Too Much KoolAid
There are, unfortunately, waaaay too many people who get all their information from Fox News. And to the extent that the other media outlets and, let's face it, reality, conflict with Fox News, these rabid fans of disinformation just cover their ears and go "neener, neener, neener". Usually. One guy in Florida decided that the best way to deal with … Read More
Fox News Outs Member of Seal Team Six
So one of the guys of the elite Seal Team force that killed bin Ladn decided to write a book. And he did it under a pseudonym, Mark Owen, to protect his identity and his family. Good. Except stupid Fox News decided to out him. You can see it here, in this article. Can you imagine if MSNBC had done … Read More
And I Am Ryan Gosling
Boy are they delusional at Fox, and going full steam with their Paul Ryan worship. Check out this tweet: Um……… NO! They don't look ANYTHING alike! Sure, they both have hair and two eyes and a nose and mouth, but…. Geez, Fox. Get a grip. Take a cold shower.
Fox Sports Needs A Geography Lesson
Fox Sports is, of course, a division of Fox News. And Baghdad is, of course, in Iraq, not Iran. Pun fail.
From The Mouth Of Babes
Fox News is stupider than two kids. Still annoyed at Obama's comments about how even successful businesses need outside help, the morning Fox show Fox and Friends turned to the ultimate source to prove its point: two little girls who run a lemonade stand. But despite obvious leading questions from host Brian Kilmeade, the girls actually confirmed what Obama said: On Tuesday, "Fox and … Read More
Blame Game
The rightwing went ballistic this morning because Brian Ross on ABC News cited unconfirmed reports (he pointed out that they were "unconfirmed") that James Holmes, the Aurora Colorado "Dark Knight" gunman, was a member of the Tea Party. It turns out those reports were wrong, and ABC retracted the unconfirmed report. But it was too late. "They're blaming us!" screamed the right … Read More
Getting It Wrong
I told you to be wary of initial news reports. These Supreme Court decisions are hard to wade through on first glance. And I'll throw this in here – the Rude Pundit's reaction: A big "suck it" to everyone who thought that our Constitution was such a narrowly-devised document that the federal government couldn't at least attempt to do big … Read More
Beware The “Pulitzer Prize Nominee” Crap
When a journalist or writer touts in his biography or book jacket cover that he/she is a "Pulitzer Prize Nominee", a warning bell should go off in your head. What they probably mean is that there name was submitted to the Pulitzer Prize board by their publisher or employer. What does it take to do that? Filling out a form … Read More
How The Networks Covered The Arizona Ruling This Morning
This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court struck three provisions of the Arizona immigration law. Two of them made it a crime for undocumented immigrants to be present and to seek employment in Arizona, while a third authorized police officers to make warrantless arrests of anyone they had probable cause to believe had committed a deportable offense. It upheld only one … Read More
