Dick Morris and the entire Fox News election coverage team could have saved themselves a lot of hot air while bloviating about the sexism rampant in hard-nosed discussions of Sarah Palin throughout her introduction to the American public.
They could have just gone to www.voteforthemilf.com and found out who the real lowlifes are and exposed them [...]

With such an eventful week underway at the DNC, it’s been difficult to stay on top of all sides of the news. We each have our preferred television news sources, and most of us just don’t have the time to channel surf for the sake of hearing what the pundits of the other party have [...]

Brit Hume over at Fox Comedy Channel relished in all the things Senator Hillary Clinton left out of her prepared remarks. He said he always loves when Democrats hate on the Bush years, suggesting it sounds as if we were living in Belarus (a nation where the government, coincidentally, spies on its citizens, too).

Last Friday, hot on the heels of the Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling that Guantanamo Bay detainees have the right to challenge their imprisonment in the US Court System, Sen. John McCain called it “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.”
Really, John?  Was that hyperbole, like when your mom orders the Monte [...]

I will admit to being one of the 17.8 million Americans who tuned in last week to the Fox love-fest that was “Idol Gives Back.” I will even agree with much of the hype surrounding the show; it did accomplish its mission of awareness and inspiration. Having spent time living in Africa, I have [...]

If you want to see where a candidate stands on one of the most important issues of the day, an umbrella-type issue under which all the others may be said to fall—Iraq, healthcare, the environment, campaign reform—ask them what they have done and what they plan to do about the copyright law fashioned over the [...]

“The O.J. Simpsons,” a parody starring The Juice as Homer, is being chased off the web by Fox, whose lawyers find it unfunny. As if… as if those suits can run like The Juice can run! No one could catch the man on the grid-iron and they couldn’t catch him in court, either. How they [...]

In a world of faux news, real fake news is the only news worth watching… As if we all hadn’t figured that much out already! Hat tip to Salon for the reference.
NYT: “Americans may have more news outlets today than two decades ago, but they still don’t know much more about current events than they [...]
