I thought Republican charges that Barack Obama is a “socialist” couldn’t get any goofier.
Sean Hannity proved me wrong. He used a cartoon tree.
Hannity recently co-starred with the “The Tree of Liberty” on his Fox News show. The tree sprouted on a big screen.
The graphic was so crude it was comical. I half expected to see [...]

On Countdown yesterday, David Schuster, sitting in for Keith Olbermann, took “Fox News to task for so aggressively promoting the right wing’s anti-Obama tea parties,” and he “pointed out that ‘tea bagging is not a spontaneous uprising.’” Watch:
Dave Johnson has a very informative post on Seeing The Forest: “A Warning About The Tea Parties.”

During the February 10 edition of Fox News’ Happening Now, co-host Jon Scott claimed that “the Senate is expected to [...]

Yes, the Colmes-Hannity team on Fox News is splitting up.
And it’s so, so sad… or perhaps it would be if I cared. I don’t watch the show, and rarely the network, and, to me, Colmes was little more than an overwhelmed punching bag with no punch of his own, the perfect “liberal” for Hannity and [...]

So you know that ugly, Fox/Drudge-whipped up story of the young female McCain volunteer who was allegedly mugged and mutilated (with a ‘B’ cut into her face) by a black man at a Pittsburgh-area ATM?

The woman, Ashley Todd, [...]

Want another reason not to watch Fox News? And another reason not to take it seriously?
It has hired Judy Miller as an analyst.
That would be Judith Miller, former New York Times reporter, Scooter Libby buddy, Ahmed Chalabi confidante, and Iraq War cheerleader. As the WaPo’s Howard Kurtz puts it, nicely, “she is nothing if not [...]

“Oh no they didn’t,” says Joan Walsh tonight. Oh, yes they did… With Hillary Clinton out of the way, the media has now turned their misogynistic sights on Michelle Obama. And, honestly it was bound to happen. Walsh explains:
I don’t watch Fox News, but an alert reader saw it, and Alex Koppelman found a clip: The [...]
