March 01, 2011: Fox News’ Lies Keep Them Out of Canada
By Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Reader Supported News

As America’s middle class battles for its survival on the Wisconsin barricades – against various Koch Oil surrogates and the corporate toadies at Fox News – fans of enlightenment, democracy and justice can take comfort from a significant victory north of the Wisconsin border. Fox News will not be moving into Canada after all! The reason: Canadian regulators announced last week they would reject efforts by Canada’s right-wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news.

Canada’s Radio Act requires that “a licenser may not broadcast … any false or misleading news.” The provision has kept Fox News and right-wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage, including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the “Fairness Doctrine” in 1987. Political dialogue in Canada is marked by civility, modesty, honesty, collegiality, and idealism that have pretty much disappeared on the US airwaves. When Stephen Harper moved to abolish the anti-lying provision of the Radio Act, Canadians rose up to oppose him fearing that their tradition of honest non-partisan news would be replaced by the toxic, overtly partisan, biased and dishonest news coverage familiar to American citizens who listen to Fox News and talk radio. Harper’s proposal was timed to facilitate the launch of a new right-wing network, “Sun TV News” which Canadians call “Fox News North.

Harper, often referred to as “George W. Bush’s Mini Me,” is known for having mounted a Bush-like war on government scientists, data collectors, transparency, and enlightenment in general. He is a wizard of all the familiar tools of demagoguery; false patriotism, bigotry, fear, selfishness and belligerent religiosity.

Harper’s attempts to make lying legal on Canadian television are a stark admission that right-wing political ideology can only dominate national debate through dishonest propaganda. Since corporate profit-taking is not an attractive vessel for populism, a political party or broadcast network that makes itself the tool of corporate and financial elites must lie to make its agenda popular with the public. In the Unites States, Fox News and talk radio, the sock puppets of billionaires and corporate robber barons, have become the masters of propaganda and distortion on the public airwaves. Fox News’ notoriously biased and dishonest coverage of the Wisconsin’s protests is a prime example of the brand of news coverage Canada has smartly avoided.

Topping the list in 2011 is Rupert Murdoch’s corrupt Fox News a.k.a “Fixed News” a.k.a “Fake News.” Fox News Channel wraps itself in slogans of journalistic objectivity like “fair and balanced” and “we report, you decide,” but ample evidence conclusively indicate a race-baiting, terroristic, fraudulent right-wing tilt in the network’s ‘news.‘ Fox is NOT news, it’s a racist, bigoted and biased Republican political operation.

Fox & Friends: Fox News’ Top Misinformer Of 2011 — Fox News’ Fox & Friends made considerable contributions to the field of conservative of misinformation throughout 2011. The efforts of co-hosts Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson, and Brian Kilmeade — as well as their rotating cast of fill-in hosts and Curvy Couch guests — have made Fox & Friends the top misinformer on Fox News in 2011.

Also topping the list is the king of hate-talkers, the man WHO ATE THE GOP, behemoth Rush Limbaugh — “America’s Truth Detector; the Doctor of Democracy; the Most Dangerous Man in America; the All-Knowing, All-Sensing, All-Everything Maha Rushie; defender of motherhood, protector of fatherhood and an all-around good guy,” per his website — RushLimbaugh.com [ READ MORE ]

Next is Dr. Keith Ablow, Fox New’s favorite doc — who has been named “Misinformer Of The Year On LGBT Issues” — In 2011 Fox News’ Dr. Keith Ablow brought a toxic mix of homophobia and pseudo scientific anti-LGBT talking points to new lows. The “Fox News Medical A-Team” member has been a prolific source of anti-LGBT misinformation, disguising his animosity toward gay, lesbian and transgender people as expert commentary on human sexuality. His bigoted rants against J. Crew, Dancing with the Stars, and the Girl Scouts have earned widespread criticism and mockery, eventually causing him to resign from the American Psychiatric Association. For his consistent promotion of known falsehoods and shirking of established medical opinions on LGBT issues, Ablow has earned the title of LGBT Misinformer of the Year. [ READ MORE ]

Herman Cain:The Rise And Fall Of A Scam Artist

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Herman Cain ran a vanity campaign for president, and in a sane world he should have been nothing more than a footnote. He ran for Leader of the Free World to burnish his brand, sell more books, and to increase his value as a motivational speaker.

The former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza was lacking in the requirements essential to running a serious presidential campaign and holding the most important office in the world: Experience, rudimentary knowledge of current events, an organization capable of competing in several states, and a genuine desire to serve the American public.

The Baptist minister managed to become the presumptive frontrunner for a month before his campaign imploded in the midst of allegations of adultery and sexual harassment.

The pizza executive used his booming preacher’s voice, his incredible chutzpah, and his simplistic 9-9-9 plan to enthrall the Republican electorate. When the Republican’s favorite (non-threatening) black politician thundered “9-9-9″ conservatives ate it up as if he was delivering the Ten Commandments for the first time.

Herman Cain -- Bra FacedThe family values crowd at first overlooked the charges of sexual harassment leveled against Cain, the racists were too infatuated with the black minister who was everybody’s favorite Uncle Tom. The Reverend had such a gift for uttering pearls of wisdom like “Many blacks are too lazy to achieve financial success.

Maybe Herman Cain will become a full-time evangelist, his great voice, arrogance and spiffy wardrobe will serve him well in the ministry. Black evangelical preachers condemn homosexuality and the sins of the flesh, but their congregations are very pragmatic and they tolerate ministers who fool around with either sex. Don’t get me wrong, black evangelicals will speak out against homosexuality and adultery, but a cognitive dissonance takes place and they embrace “men of God” who are as horny as an adult movie star. An African-American male preacher can deliver a sermon condemning homosexually while donning a pink wig and wearing stiletto heels and the congregation will shout “Preach it brother, may the compassionate Lord smite those sodomites!” Of course very few homosexuals have a penchant for wearing outrageous wigs, I’m merely trying to make a point.

Don’t feel sorry for brother Cain, like any true player he will find a way to make a very good living.

Now the leading candidate in the ongoing Republican reality show is Newt Gingrich, another clown who ran a vanity campaign for president, and who was only interesting in selling books and increasing his celeb luster.

Cain never had a chance of becoming president, but Newt, despite the enormous baggage that he lugs around, may very well be the next President of the United States.

We get the leaders that we deserve, and a nation in intellectual and moral decline deserves to have Gingrich in the White House.

Pandering To Racists: ‘Beastly’ Republican-on-Republican Cage Match in Las Vegas Presidential Debate

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


This time the Texas cowboy came riding hard — with guns blazing, aimed squarely at the flip-flopping maestro, the multiple-choice liar, Mr. MassachusettsWillard Mitt Romney. The “Texian” came close to stepping over that fine line separating measured aggression and unchecked aggression….but stopped short of punching Willard.

The hot issue this time: IMMIGRANT BASHING! …and of course, the usual dose of venom aimed at that DARKIE occupying THEIR White House!

   [ ENLARGE ]
Rick Perry vs. Mitt Romney -- Immigration Vegas Fight

Bashing helpless people (immigrants) is a Republican staple:

“Mitt, you lose all of your standing from my perspective because you hired illegals in your home,” Mr. Perry said. “And you knew for — about it for a year.”

He went on, “And the idea that you stand here before us and talk about that you’re strong on immigration is, on its face, the height of hypocrisy.”

Mr. Romney at first sought to deflect Mr. Perry’s attack by giving a stage laugh and saying: “Rick, I don’t think that I’ve ever hired an illegal in my life. And so I’m — I’m looking forward to finding your facts on that.” Mr. Perry snapped back, “It’s time for you to tell the truth.”

As the two continued to speak over each other and Mr. Perry kept pressing his attack, Mr. Romney turned to his opponent and said sharply, “This has been a tough couple of debates for Rick, and I understand that, and so you’re going to get — you’re going to get testy.”

Mr. Perry’s eyes narrowed and he licked his lips, before yielding the floor to Mr. Romney.

The exchange drew from a Boston Globe report in 2006 that found that illegal immigrants were among the members of a crew hired by a company working on Mr. Romney’s lawn. A year later, the newspaper found that the yard workers still included illegal immigrants. At the debate, Mr. Romney said the company had hired the workers and that he had eventually stopped using it because of the lapses.

Riding along, with a roll of quarters tucked in his pants, buoyed by contender poll numbers — was uncle ruckus, the pizza-man Herman Cain.

Nigger came to the “lynching” swinging a 9-9-9 RUNGU, and frothing FRAUD in the mouth.

Alligator Moat!!…That’s an Apple!!…That’s an Orange!!…Electric Fence!!…Kill Immigrants!!…9-9-9!!…Obama The Kenyan!!…To Hell With The Jobless!!…There is No Racism in America!!…9-9-9!!…9-9-9!!, sung nigger Herman, while sambo-dancing.

Peering from the far end of the podium, cuckoo doodle Michele Bachmann pooped in her thong, while scam artist Newton Leroy Gingrich bounced his fat belly like a weight on a trampoline — as the racist tea-bagger audience cheered enthusiastically, biting and sucking in the ugliness — with the gusto of a hungry lactating hyena.

FactChecking The Las Vegas Smackdown:

Summary: Republican candidates hammered each other for 2 hours in a lively Nevada confrontation — and often strayed from the facts.

   Cain denied that his tax plan would boost taxes for 84 percent of Americans, or fall heavily on those with lower incomes. A new study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center says just that.

   Santorum and Bachmann denounced Cain’s 9 percent “business flat tax” as a European-style “value-added” tax, which Cain also denied. The TPC study agrees with Santorum and Bachmann.

   Romney claimed his Massachusetts health care plan “[doesn't] have a government insurance plan” and relies on private insurance. Actually, his plan expanded Medicaid, and relies on that state-federal government program to cover many of the state’s previously uninsured.

   Perry and Romney clashed on job creation. Perry was mostly right in claiming Texas saw a greater number of jobs created than Massachusetts. But he was wrong that his state created more jobs in the last two months than Massachusetts did in four years under Romney.

   Romney relied on a disputed study from an anti-immigration group when he said “almost half” the jobs created under Perry were for illegal immigrants. Perry called that “an absolute falsehood.” But more neutral estimates support the idea that some portion of the Texas job gains were due to illegal immigration.

   Perry accused Romney of hiring illegal immigrants, to which Romney said, “I don’t think I’ve ever hired an illegal in my life.” In fact, there’s no evidence that Romney knowingly hired illegal immigrants — but he hired a lawn service that did, and was slow to fire the contractor.

   Santorum and Perry were both off base in claiming that Romney once touted his Massachusetts plan as a model for the nation. He didn’t. He said it wasn’t necessarily right for all states.

Jon Stewart: ‘Fox News is Like a Lying Dynasty,’ ‘They’re Like The New England Patriots of Lying!’

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Jon Stewart lists dozens of false statements made by the network. Lies about Obama’s healthcare plan and his connection to ACORN, fear mongering about “death panels” and the war on Christmas and talk of a “government takeover” — are just but a sliver of the numerous lies and falsehoods Fox has been diarrhea-ring for years.

Jon Stewart To Chris Wallace: A “Designed Ideological Agenda” Is “The Soup You Swim In”

We have been documenting Fox’s syphilitic, racist and malicious lying on this website since late 2006. Our “book” is thick with right-wing venom and terrorism.

Since 2004, Media Matters For America has compiled a “Library of Congress” size treasure trove of videographic evidence of conservative crooks, racists and bigots lying, race-baiting and issuing terroristic threats directed at blacks, latinos, Mexicans, immigrants, gays, abortion providers, everybody else they don’t like ….and veiled death threats to President Barack Obama.

2. Jon Stewart Gets It Right About Fox News: Fox News has attacked Daily Show host Jon Stewart for claiming that Fox News viewers are “the most consistently misinformed viewers” of cable news. However, Stewart was correct — Fox News consistently misinforms its viewers, and its viewers are found among the most likely to hold misinformed beliefs about current events.
