Fox News Convicts Alleged Palin Hacker Without a Trial?

Fox News Cares About Privacy (or Just Sarah Palin)? UPDATE: David Kernell was indicted on a single federal FELONY charge on October 8, 2008.

Fox News Edits Criticism of Palin Out of Tina Fey SNL Clip?

O'Reilly Sees Obama's Got Balls? After Bill O'Reilly interviewed Sen. Barack Obama last week, O'Reilly told Monica Crowley and Jane Hall that Obama is tough, but O'Reilly came to that correct conclusion for the wrong reasons, as I show with the clips and commentary in this video.

McCain Campaign Plays Gender Card? After seeing the McCain campaign's accusation about a month ago claiming Barack Obama played the so-called race card with no real evidence Obama accused McCain of attacking him for his race, I thought it highly hypocritical of senior McCain campaign spokesperson Nancy Pfotenhauer to gratuitously reach for the gender card within five minutes of the end of the event at which John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his choice for vice president. You can see what I mean in this short (under 2 minute) video. You can also see evidence of Fox News complicity in the bogus McCain talking points. And, speaking of Fox News bias, this video is the FORTY-SECOND video I've made that qualifies as evidence of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist that you can find at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D Tags: Sarah Palin John McCain Fox news vice president republican gop gender card woman female small town alaska Barack obama |

Biden Baggage Burdens Obama? Joe Biden's first appearance as Barack Obama's running mate in Springfield, Illinois brought up not only the baggage of some previous Biden comments that don't fit the message of the Obama campaign, but also raised worries that, being the fourth most senior member of the US Senate, Biden doesn't quite fit with Obama's message of change. Still, I believe Obama's selection of this senior, experienced US Senator who will give him candid advice to help him govern is a positive choice outweighing any baggage Biden might bring as I show with the clips and analysis in this video. Sen. Barack Obama's entire August 23, 2008, speech introducing Sen. Biden as his running mate from which I took a short clip for my video is available on CSPAN's YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqpIe1bC6tA Sen.

McCain Right USA Based on Judeo-Christian Principles? When Senators Barack Obama and John McCain both appeared at the Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency with Pastor Rick Warren last weekend, McCain used a myth about the supposed Judeo-Christian origin of American principles to pander to the evangelical Christian audience in a way I contrast with an Obama appearance at another Baptist church earlier this year.

Should Killing Liberals Be a Hate Crime? The tragic killing of two people and the wounding of eight others at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville allegedly because of the church's "liberal views" brought up a discussion of hate crime laws on Fox News this week that I analyze in this video. The four clips in my video come from the July 28, 2008, broadcasts of the Fox News programs "The Live Desk" (showing anchor Jane Skinner and criminal defense attorney Drew Findling) and "Studio B With Shepard Smith" (showing criminal defense attorneys Julia Morrow and Arthur Aidala).

ACLU Fights Wiretapping Approved by Obama, McCain and Bush When Pres. George W. Bush and Sen.

McCain, Republicans Want Welfare for Anti-Evolutionists? When Republican governor and possible John McCain Vice Presidential running mate Bobby Jindal came out in favor of teaching "Intelligent Design" in Louisiana's science classrooms on CBS's "Face The Nation" last Sunday, it reminded me of John McCain's similar nonsensical position on teaching "Intelligent Design" which I criticize using clips from biologist Kenneth Miller appearing this last week with Stephen Colbert and on NPR.

Fox News Creates Obama Contradiction That Isn't There? A lot of people complained about the bias at last week's ABC debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton but it was the same bias you can find at all the major networks, a bias towards controversy, sensationalism, superficiality, and corporatism. Fox News, in contrast, has all those same biases as the other networks, but has, in addition, a clear ideological bias I've documented in dozens of YouTube videos in which Fox distorts the facts to help the right or hurt the left. Fox provided a good example of such bias in its coverage of last week's ABC debate when Fox deliberately misinterpreted an ambiguity in something Obama said, quoted it out of context, and created a contradiction that wasn't there, as I show in this video.
