How Bill O’Reilly Tried to Get His Wife’s Boyfriend Investigated By the Cops
Last summer, Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly came to believe that his wife was romantically involved with another man. Not just any man, but a police detective in the Long Island community they call home. So O’Reilly did what any concerned husband would do: He pulled strings to get the police department’s internal affairs unit to investigate one of their own for messing with the wrong man’s lady.

This is one of just a few onscreen graphics that Fox “News” actually put on the air.
I remember some asshole on here going on about how I was declaring “class warfare” because I thought things like universal healthcare were good things, things that would benefit our fellow men and women who — numbering in the tens of millions — go without such things.
So what the fuck is this, exactly? What is Fox “News” trying to prove here? That poor people aren’t actually “poor” because they have something in their homes that prevents essential foodstuffs like milk and eggs from spoiling?
That having things like a TV or a cellphone makes them, in words ACTUALLY USED ON FOX “NEWS” TO DEFINE POOR PEOPLE, “the takers,” “parasites” and “the moocher class”?
That a family of four making less than $23,000 a year is somehow getting away with something by literally being too poor to be taxed by the federal government?
Go fuck yourselves.
No seriously. Go fuck yourselves right now.
“Conservatives hate the ‘liberal’ media so much, they’re even willing to accept an argument… based on science.”
“The only problem with talking about Sarah Palin is that she works here, and it’s like a coworker. And if I say something bad and I see her in the hallway I feel really awkward and wrong. So I just kind of say, ‘that was a good job.”

(via reallyfoxnews)“What makes Fox News different [ from other news organizations] is its use of commentators who aren’t just participants in America’s public conversation about politics, but prominent players in the game itself. If one of your core beats is covering the conservative movement, it’s problematic to employ, as a multimillion-dollar asset, a frequent news-maker and campaigner who for some time seemed a possible presidential candidate. It is to the credit of Gutfeld and Beckel that they’re now being transparent about that fact.”
“If Aug. is really all about Fox vs. Sponge Bob Square Pants…that would be AWESOME!” - @TeresaKopec
“We all know that SpongeBob is popular with the kids and for the life of me I still keep trying to figure out why it is. My kids watch limited TV but every time they chose that show, I’m like, ‘Why?’ Anyway — it’s hard to even follow sometimes. Anyway now maybe that will be a good thing because SpongeBob is talking a lot about global warming, and he’s only looking at it from one point of view.” - Fox’s Gretchen Carlson
“For the first time, we’re beginning to chip away at Fox News.”
“[T]here’s nobody that works harder, does more and research more [than us]… i just dont [see that at Fox News]”

You are beating up on President Obama just constantly, and it just is incredible to me that you don’t pay attention to the idea that the country was facing (a) potential depression, and you had a president that stepped in, offered leadership that pulled us off the brink, Sean. …You are having a tantrum. In fact, you’re mad at other Republicans — you say, why is the Wall Street Journal, why is the Weekly Standard, why are other Republicans saying to the Tea Party people, ‘You have gone over the line?’ You’re encouraging this kind of behavior, Sean!
…You hate the stimulus spending. You say ‘that contributed to the high rate of (joblessness) under the spineless Obama!’ I’ve heard your rap. But what I’m saying to you, Sean, is do you realize 40 percent of (stimulus) spending was on tax breaks for people? Tax breaks? …In other words, President Obama tried to spend some money, cut taxes for everybody in the country — as I said, 40 percent of the stimulus spending — and all you can do is say ‘Well, it didn’t exactly work as predicted!’ as opposed to saying ‘He tried something instead of just simply obstructing,’ which is what the Republicans have been doing all along.

This is completely AWESOME!

Check out that word frequency! In case you wanted to do a real-time check of the biases of CNN vs. Fox News, this spiffy little OSX app called News Mapper does the trick. Our checks so far: CNN’s obsessed with “debt,” while Fox News has the market on “Obama” cornered. Surprisingly, though, “Boehner” is about even. This is awesome. A supergenius must’ve made this.
Ok, this is too cool!
