Disingenuous broadcaster Fox News frequently traffics in lies, so no one’s really all that surprised when they gloss over critical details, but even by their shitty standards, the network couldn’t have gotten a simple story about an artist, a mural, and Donald Trump’s mug shot any wronger. After being mocked by the internet for fawning […]
As part of a kinda-infuriating, kinda-hilarious segment on how Beyoncé is to blame when black teenagers get pregnant, The O’Reilly Factor aired the above image of Queen Bey’s Butt. Taken from the “Partition” video, it shows Beyoncé from the back, wearing a sparkly, two-tiered black thong. Bill O’Reilly, in service of his simpleminded, condescending point — […]

The Fair and Balanced news network […]

The spot played on a big video screen near the track’s entrance, and espoused the idea that weed could be the next (possibly even better) beer–no calories, no hangover, no links to reckless or violent behavior. Predictably, some puritanical […]
Why do Americans know so little about the real goings-on of their country? Fox News has the answers, right after this commercial break. […]
The media circus continues. Reading from what has been widely speculated to be Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev’s Twitter feed, Fox News correspondent Megyn Kelly accidentally rapped the lyrics to Dr. Dre and Eminem’s “Forgot About Dre” on the air today. “This is apparently what was on his mind–I believe that’s a quote of a song–days […]
