FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation.
On the show this week: The Progressive Caucus budget is greeted with the usual corporate media silence, the Washington Post withholds vital information from its recent NSA scoop, and Maria Bartiromo sticks up for the voiceless CEOs.
Former CNBC host Maria Bartiromo will be debuting a new show on the Fox News Channel soon, and she’s sharing one idea about what will make her show different: Corporations will finally get a chance to tell their story.
David Gregory seemed to say that the science on climate change was settled. So why did he have a debate about whether climate change is happening? Plus MSNBC’s Morning Joe cheers on its corporate parent, while Bill O’Reilly gives us one more example of why Fox News is so special.
It tells you a lot about our media and society that no one even expects O’Reilly to apologize for his slur of the left.
Big-time journalists think Obama should approve the Keystone pipeline to show that he wants to make Republicans happy. ABC tells us about an “average” family’s 401K plan–which isn’t average at all. And Fox host Bill O’Reilly says he’s trustworthy–take his word for it.
Fox News is certainly the place for Republicans to go to be told what they want to hear–including that their favorite news outlet is the one that Americans in general find most trustworthy.
“I played a role…in helping tear the country apart,” Glenn Beck says. Indeed–not just from his time at Fox, but from years of talk radio broadcasts, and a stint at CNN’s Headline News–not to mention his work at his current outlet, The Blaze.
Bill O’Reilly wanted to make clear that the Factor brings viewers some perspectives missing from the bland, liberal newscasts. Let’s look at the episode where he made this claim to see what he might be talking about.
Bill O’Reilly’s message on Martin Luther King Jr. Day was that blacks “have a much tougher time succeeding in the marketplace” because they don’t “study and work hard.”
This week on the show: Does Chris Christie have a temper problem? Fox‘s Brit Hume has some thoughts. CBS covers French politics–well, mostly a French politician’s sex life. And Time puts Hillary Clinton’s nonexistent presidential campaign on its latest cover. Watch:
On the question of whether or not Christie is a bully, veteran Fox pundit Brit Hume blamed that perception on our “feminized atmosphere.”
One of the most satisfying O’Reilly Factor episodes ever aired Monday night when, through some terrible miscalculation, someone who knew what he was talking about managed to get on the show.
Unfortunately, advocating and fantasizing about the murder of perceived enemies of the Fox worldview is a line that has been crossed all too commonly in Murdoch-owned media outlets.
George Will may be the dean of conservative punditry with a reputation for sober consistency, but when it comes to intellectual honesty and principle–well, a person could get whiplash trying to follow his opportunistic and hypocritical positions over the years. On Thursday’s Special Report on Fox News (1/21/13), George Will was sad that the Democrats […]
Joking about pop music that’s so bad it’s painful helps obscure the all-too-serious use of sound as a weapon that causes actual pain.
Fox News host Bill O’Reilly told viewers, “The Factor has established itself as the go-to news program if you want the facts about Obamacare.” And then he proceeded to show that this wasn’t true.
TV bosses are in the top 20 percent of big corporations in terms of how much more they make than their employees.
Media seem more eager to carry messages to the effect of “NSA spying works” rather than admissions from the NSA that the record isn’t quite so impressive.
The federal government is taking more of our money; it’s actually taking less than average. So why does Bill O’Reilly think otherwise? It might be due to the fact that people like him are paying a little more this year.
John Kerry appeared on all of the Sunday talkshows. But he was mostly not asked about the case for war with Syria. Instead, the questioning was overwhelmingly concerned with Barack Obama’s decision to seek congressional approval for an attack on Syria.
