A new poll released by Public Policy Polling has found that Fox News is no longer the trusted news source: Maybe America is waking up? Well not entirely. The poll did find that 67% of Republicans trust Fox, while only 22% of Democrats did. Fox also gets the most trust in the over 65 age […]
Who needs Wikileaks? At the height of the health care reform debate last fall, Bill Sammon, Fox News’ controversial Washington managing editor, sent a memo directing his network’s journalists not to use the phrase “public option.” Instead, Sammon wrote, Fox’s reporters should use “government option” and similar phrases — wording that a top Republican pollster […]
Remember when the right thought Stephen Colbert was the real deal? They believed he was really a right wing comedian/commentator and couldn’t seem to understand that his whole routine is making fun of the right. Well those righties haven’t become any smarter since then: Fox News’ opinion website Fox Nation and their readers don’t seem […]
Christmas is coming early this year! But I wonder if the right will go after FOX like they went after MSNBC when Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan were caught trashing Palin on an open mic? Yeah I doubt it too.
Any shock? If you ask Republicans around the country, they’ll probably tell you that Tuesday’s election results were all about pushing back against excessive government spending.

With all the debate over Cordoba House in New York, something we never hear about is actual concerns. I’m not talking about the “all brownies are terrorists” kind of crap the GOP and FOX News pushes, but rather if there are any serious zoning type complaints. An example of this can be seen in Connecticut, […]
Rupert Murdoch is a genius. Genius I tell ya! The Times has lost almost 90% of its online readership compared to February since making registration mandatory in June, calculations by the Guardian show. Unregistered users of thetimes.co.uk are now “bounced” to a Times+ membership page where they have to register if they want to view […]
This is absolutely amazing. Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) apologized to BP today for the “shakedown” from the President: This is so bad that even John Boehner is distancing himself from it: House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) broke with a top Republican on Thursday who suggested BP had suffered a “shakedown” by being forced to […]
Leave it to FOX News to manufacturer whatever they want to pass off as facts. Media Matters has done an in-depth report on Fox’s continued lies about Obama and the oil spill. This one really sticks out at me: Kilmeade: There are “problems” with BP giving “$750 million to a campaign like they did to […]
