Off The Rails: The Year In Fox News Misinformation

A month-by-month look back at Fox News' most outrageous and factually challenged moments of 2010. As the year comes to a close, Media Matters offers a month-by-month look back at Fox News' most outrageous and factually challenged moments of 2010. January Hume Counsels Tiger Woods To Ditch Buddhism To "Make A Total Recovery." On the January 3 edition of Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume commented on the scandal surrounding golfer Tiger Woods: "He is said to be a Buddhist.

Rudy Giuliani and John Bolton Are Terrorists Now

Did Rudy Giuliani, Tom Ridge, John Bolton, and a bunch of other neocons really attend a rally in support of a communist Saddam Hussein-loving terrorist organization last month? Yes! Is that really a crime? Yes! In today's New York Times, attorney David Cole points out that the Patriot Act makes it a (thought) crime to help, want to help, or in any way nod approvingly toward a group that has been designated a terrorist entity by the State Department. For instance: The U.S. has decided that the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which conducts attacks against our NATO ally Turkey, is a terrorist group. So anyone who, say, wants to train PKK members on how to petition the U.N. for redress ...
Republican Right Silent on Real Arizona Health Care Death Panel

Charles Grassley led the propaganda charge when it came to accusing the Obama Administration of intending to create a health care death panel. It is interesting to observe the stony silence of the senator from Iowa as well as that of his colleagues when a very real death panel has reared its ugly head in Arizona. The high octane fuel that the Republican right runs on is propaganda and with it the concomitant byproduct of hypocrisy. The name of the game is to keep accusations toward the opposition spinning while maintaining a bogus holier than thou attitude. Such was the case with scores of issues designed to appeal to the pro-life religious right base. One of the most heinous examples in ...
Joe Scarborough Advises Tea Party Lawmakers Not To ‘Scare Little Kids And Pets’

MSNBC host and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough counseled the incoming class of tea party legislators not to abuse their new-found powers, jesting that they might scare young children and animals. Scarborough recalled to Parade magazine when the new Republican Congress of 1995 tried to trample a weakened President Bill Clinton and ended up paying the price for "overreaching" and appearing "shrill." "If Republicans overreach in 2011, they will re-elect Barack Obama in 2012," he said. "They need to focus but make sure they don’t scare little kids and pets. This is the Republican Party’s last chance—not just for me but for the ...

The leader of a pro-gay conservative group said that he believed that more American conservatives now welcome gays into their political community. "The real story is that the conservative movement is more united than ever," Christopher Barron of GOProud said on MSNBC's "The Ed Show" Saturday. He continued, "There are a few people, people like birther king Joseph Farah and the WorldNetDaily crowd who make their living trying to grab attention, grab headlines, divide the movement. The fact is the conservative movement is united. We`re winning..." Guest host Cenk Uygur, however, questioned Barron's definition of winning at a time when an overwhelming ...

As Tea Party politicians prepare to take their seats when the 112th Congress convenes this week, they are already taking issue with Republicans for failing to hold the line against the flurry of legislation enacted in the waning weeks of Democratic control of the House of Representatives and for not giving some candidates backed by Tea Party groups powerful leadership positions. Just a month ago, Tea Party leaders were celebrating their movement’s victories in the midterm elections. But as Congress wrapped up an unusually productive lame-duck session last month, those same Tea Party leaders were lamenting that Washington behaved as if it barely noticed that American voters had ...
New Jersey Governor Claims No Responsibility For Certain Snowed-In Citizens

The Republican governor of New Jersey claimed no responsibility those trapped by the snow not on state roads while he was away on vacation to Disneyworld with his family when his state suffered its fifth-largest blizzard on record. “If someone is snowed into their house, that’s not our responsibility,” Gov. Chris Christie said during his first press conference upon returning from Florida Thursday. Christie said that he would have repeated this trip and his limit to helping those only trapped on state roads had he the opportunity to do it over again. “I wouldn’t change the decision even if I could do it right now,” he said. “I had a great five days with my ...

THE CABLE NEWS NUMBERS ARE IN.... To note that the Republicans' cable news network is out in front of its competitors is an understatement. In 2010, Fox News had more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined. But that no longer seems especially interesting. Indeed, it's pretty predictable -- Fox News has cornered the market when it comes to offering misleading, partisan propaganda that leaves its viewers more ignorant than if they received no information at all. It's been this way for quite a while. Jay Bookman digs a little deeper, though, and finds some interesting related data. MSNBC beat CNN for the second straight year among viewers 25-54, and for the first time beat CNN ...
Ron Paul Hopes To ‘Indirectly’ End The Fed

National Review published an extensive interview with Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) Wednesday. The discussion centered primarily around Paul’s views on monetary policy and the Federal Reserve. Paul has been a longtime opponent of the Fed — he titled his book End the Fed — and was tapped to head the subcommittee on domestic monetary policy, which oversees the Fed, now that Republicans control the U.S. House. For those concerned that Paul would seek to undercut the Federal Reserve by any means with his new position, the interview offers both hope and reason for concern. It doesn’t appear that a Paul chairmanship will be dominated by measures to completely strip the Fed of its ...

Nevermind. That Al Qaeda threat splashed across the front page of Rupert Murdoch’s Sun a few weeks ago? Well, in a page two correction yesterday, editors just wanted to pass on an update on that story: yeah, turns out that scary bit we told you, well that wasn’t true. Sorry. Moving right along. As the Guardian’s Roy Greenslade writes today, the pre-Christmas story about a supposed terrorist plot against a live holiday episode of a popular UK television show, Coronation Street, had British journalists smelling a rat from the start. “It had that familiar…ring of complete nonsense.” The original story–still posted on the Sun’s website–claimed that ...
Gay Republican Group Prompts Split Among Conservatives

Early this year, a striking scene emerged from the Conservative Political Action Conference: A speaker was essentially booed offstage when he condemned CPAC for allowing gay Republican group GOProud to participate in the conference. The incident - which occurred at perhaps the nation's premiere conservative gathering - suggested that, after decades of demonization, gays may have finally found a place in the GOP. Further evidence came when former Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman came out of the closet - and was subsequently widely embraced by establishment Republicans. Yet opposition remains to homosexuality remain strong among some conservatives. This week, two socially ...

It’s happened before: The people are speaking up. In court. As jurors. As citizens. A Missoula District Court could not impanel a jury in a marijuana possession case. Potential jurors refused to say that they would follow the law in convicting a person for possessing a sixteenth of an ounce of the popular weed. One juror wondered why the county was “wasting time and money prosecuting the case at all.” The flummoxed Deputy Missoula County Attorney Andrew Paul called it “a mutiny.” The judge said he’d never seen anything like it. Too bad. Jury nullification is an old idea, a democratic idea. I wrote about it a few years ago, in reference to the growing movement ...

WASHINGTON — This month’s early, under-the-radar campaigning by potential Republican challengers to President Barack Obama is a reminder of something too easily forgotten: Running for president is harder than it looks, and Obama ultimately will stand against a flesh-and-blood nominee certain to make mistakes along the way. Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and other possible GOP candidates stumbled over health care, taxes and other issues in December, even as Obama coped with the harsh political reality stemming from his party’s “shellacking” in last month’s elections. No serious contender has officially launched a 2012 campaign. But with the Iowa caucuses less than ...

Julian Assange has accused Fox personalities Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin, among others, of committing terrorism through their calls to hunt down and kill the WikiLeaks founder. In an interview with MSNBC's Cenk Uygur, Assange referred to the politicians-turned-Fox-personalities as "shock jocks" who should be charged for inciting violence against him and his organization. He also referred to Huckabee as "just another idiot trying to make a name for himself."

Has anyone noticed that right-wingers are really exercised about anti-Semitism these days except when it emanates from right-wingers? This week in Forbes, Abigail R. Esman pens an utterly over-the-top column called "World To Jews: Drop Dead." Dead! She claims that, even here in the United States, anti-Semitism is no longer a "fringe" phenomenon but has gone mainstream. Who knew? Esman cites by name the trinity of Helen Thomas, Rick Sanchez and (Jewish film maker) Oliver Stone as evidence. Naturally, the 90 year-old Thomas is Esman's marquee example of anti-Semitism even though her offensive remarks were not made on television or radio but to a rabbi with a ...

WASHINGTON — Buoyant in political victory, President Barack Obama on Wednesday wrapped up a long, rough year in Washington by rejoicing in a rare, bipartisan "season of progress" over tax cuts, national security and civil justice. Halfway through his term, he served notice to his skeptics: "I am persistent." The president who strode on stage for a news conference cut a remarkably different figure than the Obama who, just seven weeks ago, held a similar event in which he somberly admitted he had taken a "shellacking" in the midterm elections and needed to re-evaluate. This time, Obama was about to jet off to a Hawaiian holiday vacation knowing he had ...
Cantor And The Jews

This story, on the Religion News Service, struck me as slightly off kilter. When Virginia Republican Eric Cantor becomes House Majority Leader next month, he will become the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress in history. And for many Jewish advocacy groups in Washington, it’s a mixed blessing. It proposes that Cantor has a less than comfortable relationship with Jewish organizations because most Jews lean left, while he leans right. I don't think anyone outside of the left side of the pro-Israel community thinks the blessing of Cantor's rise is at all mixed. There are certainly apprehensions about the new GOP majority in the House, but if anything, Cantor's ...

Count this among the 10 things nobody ever expected to see in their lifetimes: 700 Club founder Pat Robertson, one of the cornerstone figures of America's Christian right movement, has come out in favor of legalizing marijuana. Calling it getting "smart" on crime, Robertson aired a clip on a recent episode of his 700 Club television show that advocated the viewpoint of drug law reformers who run prison outreach ministries. A narrator even claimed that religious prison outreach has "saved" millions in public funds by helping to reduce the number of prisoners who return shortly after being released.

American voters were quizzed on their knowledge of issues and facts raised in the 2010 midterm elections, in a survey by World Public Opinion, a project managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland. Respondents were also asked where they get their news from: Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, newspapers, network TV news, public broadcasting.The survey found that "substantial levels of misinformation were present in the daily consumers of all news sources." But Fox News viewers were significantly more likely to be misinformed than those who get their news from other sources. And, greater exposure to Fox News increased the degree to which viewers were ...

Nineteen percent of Republicans polled said they preferred Romney to win the nomination, 18 percent said Huckabee, and 17 percent said Palin. The poll tested virtually all other potential contenders for the nomination: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (10 percent), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (9 percent), Florida Sen.-elect Marco Rubio (5 percent), Texas ...

I have a theory about human social evolution: life doesn't progress much after high school. This week, I can thank John McCain and Lindsey Graham for providing empirical data that supports this hypothesis. Here's how government should work: lawmakers ponder the great issues of the day in serious manner and then decide, according to their own beliefs and values, which policies are best for their constituents and the public. But in the past few days, we've seen government-by-hissy-fit, with Sens. McCain and Graham, the Batman and Robin of cranky self-proclaimed GOP mavericks, placing personal petulance ahead of the common good. As the Senate on Saturday was in the process of ...
