Mike Rogers was on Fox News today to take on The Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver while not getting thrown by the obviously-hostile-to-his-side moderator, Laura Ingraham. We think he handled himself well: But you might be asking yourself what, exactly, Mike was referring to at the 4:45 mark? Well, my pets, since time wouldn't allow Mike to elaborate during the segment, we can now show you the video that highlights Mike's allusion. Mike was referring to this blatant lie from last month's Family Research Council press conference, wherein Mat implied that a married gay Californian could expand his ...

I saw this piece yesterday and I just now have a chance to talk about it. Fox News has done some really bad reporting over the years. They have pushed stories that simply weren’t true. Now, a new low, they have Photoshopped photos to make 2 guys from the New York Times (reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe ) look uglier. How juvenile!!! ShareThis ...

Homophobia irks me. Being gay and being born and raised in the Deep South, there’s a deep divide over how people think, based on what they’re taught, and what they’ve actually experienced. I can assure you my extended family, who despite my pleasure, occasionally use the N-word, and repulse from news about “the gays,” continue to do so because they don’t have friends or acquaintances who are African-American, or who are LGBT, or Jewish… or Muslim… pretty much anything not really shouting out its existence in Dixie… and don’t fundamentally understand why their views are so offensive to me. Now, I ...

Fox news, not happy merely doing a piece attacking reporters who did a piece attacking Fox News, photoshopped the pictures of the reporters they showed in their piece, to make them appear uglier than they really do. H/T: Fark ...

We recently got into a debate with a friend in which we argued that Americans have evolved since the 2000 and 2004 elections. While we think that may be true in some respects, apparently it’s not universal: “Fox News is poised to reclaim the title of the most-watched cable news network in the key advertising demographic in the second quarter of 2008. The cable channel attracted the most 25- to 54-year-old viewers in prime-time this quarter, according to preliminary Nielsen Media Research data, drawing an average of 346,000 in that age group through Tuesday.” [LA Times] ...

There's something amusing about Karl Rove appearing on Fox News with Bill O'Reilly to tell viewers that Barack Obama is arrogant. Perhaps I'm wrong, but this seems like a classic example of projection on the part of one of the most arrogant politicos in the business. As I listened to the examples Rove offered, it became even more apparent that this was little more than vintage bloviating on the part of Karl Rove. When I hear Karl Rove accusing Barack Obama of arrogance (video below), I can't help but think back to the 2006 election and his famous eleventh hour ...

When conservative pundit Cal Thomas recently said the following on FOX News, I just have a few questions. First, the quote:In this campaign, we are being asked to accept three things simultaneously, the first woman with a credible chance of being president, the first African-American with the chance to being president and, whoever Michelle Obama is going to be styled, the angry black woman, first lady? This is an awful lot.When Cal Thomas says "we are being asked" who does he include in the "we" portion of that clause? Certainly, the idea of a woman having a credible shot ...

Wedding bells are ringin' when James joins the gay marriage celebration in West Hollywood Park. The excitement is palpable as lesbian and gay weddings are held all around him. James chats up the mayor of West Hollywood, Jeffrey Prang, and finds a Democrat reporter from Fox News who's pro gay marriage. If only James had a groom for himself. Will he find a WeHo cowboy to ride off into the sunset with, or will he die a spinster? ...
