The Disaffected Lib: Suck On It, FOX!
I don’t believe I have ever enjoyed watching FOX News – until tonight. When they declared Barack Obama elected it was as though each of them was made to swallow broken glass. And I’ve been waiting so long to see those degenerate…

corporate media ball chain.jpg North America just witnessed the hottest month in the history of record keeping (about 117 years). The month of July shattered every previous record, but was certainly not a freak occurrence. So far, the first 7 months of this year have been the warmest on average

kerpin.jpeg This morning, the latest in pro-tar sands spin went live. KeystoneXLNow.com takes aim at President Obama for failing to approve the Keystone XL project (even though the White House just announced approval of the southern leg today), calling it "an affront to millions of Americans out of work and an

Hey, remember when Faux News used to merely employ dog whistles in its race-baiting wingnut agit-prop? Good times. Now they rock Les Paul Customs plugged into Marshall stacks that go to eleven (TO ELEVEN): A Fox Orlando affiliate decribed Neo-Nazis as “a civil rights group” on a television broadcast and

Fracking_Graphic_t670.jpg Because apparently the only way for small American farmers to sustain themselves is not with crops they produce, but by letting the good 'ole gas man tap the reserves under their land. "Agriculture and industry go together, if you want prosperity in these little towns, you need balance, that's the

4+dollar+gas.jpg Since at least last summer, conservatives have been parroting the oil industry talking point that President Obama is somehow the one responsible for the spike in gasoline and oil prices. As we have pointed out, they base this on their assertion that the President has been “hostile” towards the

At least Gerarldo Rivera preceded this outlandish claim with “I think”. Otherwise, he would have been taken away the men in the white coats. Just more Fox News craziness. Sad. Hint to Rivera. Don’t ever come to Vancouver. You might shoot someone. We all wear hoodies here. It has something

Whenever the right uses the ‘false equivalence’ charge for well, virtually everything when they are caught red-handed, especially when it comes to hate speech, we on the left just have to laugh. All one has to do is view, on any day on any subject, the comments on a right-wing blog

THEN: Back in 2008, Fox News pundits and contributors were eager to deflect criticism of the Bush administration, pointing out the myriad of global market factors contributing to the steep rise in gas prices at the time. Conservative columnist Cal Thomas quite rightly stated that, “no president has the power

To Fox News, “slut” + “prostitute” = “Fame-Hungry Activist” Remember Brigette DePape and the sexist, vile treatment she received at the hands of our media and the Conservative party?
