May 14th, 2011
Glenn Beck has gotten nothing but tongue-lashings for his recent theatrical vomiting at the mention of Meghan McCain’s body, and he ended the week with one final slap on the wrist from colleague Bill O’Reilly. While Beck tried to justify his behavior compared to the controversial comments made by rapper Common, O’Reilly had none of it and commended McCain’s mother, Cindy, for striking back at Beck.
“You’re not going quietly into the night,” O’Reilly quipped upon beginning the segment, though he gave Beck some time with a warm-up topic before talking McCain. While O’Reilly objected to Common’s presence at the White House, he candidly gave the President the benefit of the doubt: “I don’t think Barack Obama knows who the hell Common is.” He compared the invitation to the release of conflicting information regarding the killing of Osama bin Laden, aruging that “there’s no one in charge of this stuff. It’s chaos.”

Sarah Palin To Fox News: I Don’t Want To Talk To Media Oulets Other Than Fox News (Mediaite)
Image by GregTheBusker via Flickrby Ray RahmanNovember 5th, 2010
During Fox News’ election coverage, on a night when attention should’ve been on actual candidates, Shepard Smith turned his attention to his colleague Sarah Palin. If she does one day decide to run for office, Smith asked her, would she talk to media outlets that aren’t Fox News, the network at which she currently has exclusive “protection”? Palin’s answer was not promising—for curious voters or for her potential candidacy.
She began by reminding Smith that she can’t be “constrained”: “I can still talk to whomever I want to.”

UPDATE! Fox News to Air Ad Disclosing $1M GOP Donation -- Once! (TheWrap.com)
Image via Wikipedia
After a few weeks of hemming and hawing, Fox News has agreed to air a 30-second commercial, produced by Media Matters, disclosing to prime-time viewers News Corp.’s $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association.
The spot will air during Tuesday’s “O’Reilly Factor,” according to Media Matters.
Fox had initially refused to run the ad because of objections to language -- specifically, that News Corp. had refused to disclose the donation to Fox viewers.
The edited version (above) states introduces the ad is “about a story that's not yet been covered on Fox News primetime.”

GOP Rep. Calls Megyn Kelly ‘Pinhead And Weenie’ On House Floor (Mediaite)

May 26th, 2010
Last night’s “Worst Person in the World” segment on Countdown wasn’t notable for anything host Keith Olbermann said in particular, or for the relative egregiousness of the crimes he accused his “worsts” of committing. The interesting thing about this attack is that the takedown instead came from a Republican Congressman who used the words “pinhead” and “weenie” on the House floor to attack a Fox News host.
The Republican Congressman is Steven LaTourette, and his victim, seemingly unknown to him, is Fox News host Megyn Kelly. Kelly, according to Olbermann, had claimed that some House Republicans were supporting a bill that bailed out unions. LaTourette had some strong words with which to differ with that assessment:
“As a Republican, I’m supposed to love Fox News and hate MSNBC. Now, let me tell you, I do hate MSNBC, but something just happened on Fox News that compelled me to come to the floor. They’ve run this diagram, and it really is, I think, blaspheming my good friend Pat Tiberi from Ohio in indicating that there are nine Republicans that are supporting a bill that will bail out unions. Well, that’s nonsense, and I don’t know who the pinhead and weenie is at Fox News that decided to put that story together… I don’t know what they’re doing at Fox News, but they should stop smoking it and get back to reporting the facts.”Click HERE to Keep Reading!

The Beck Factor at Fox: Staffers say comments taint their work (Howard Kurtz)
Image via WikipediaBy Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer March 15, 2010
NEW YORK
In just over a year, Glenn Beck's blinding burst of stardom has often seemed to overshadow the rest of Fox News.
And that may not be a good thing for the top-rated cable news channel, as many of its staffers are acutely aware.
With his celebrity fueled by a Time cover story, best-selling books, cheerleading role at protest rallies and steady stream of divisive remarks, Beck is drawing big ratings. But there is a deep split within Fox between those -- led by Chairman Roger Ailes -- who are supportive, and many journalists who are worried about the prospect that Beck is becoming the face of the network.
By calling President Obama a racist and branding progressivism a "cancer," Beck has achieved a lightning-rod status that is unusual even for the network owned by Rupert Murdoch. And that, in turn, has complicated the channel's efforts to neutralize White House criticism that Fox is not really a news organization. Beck has become a constant topic of conversation among Fox journalists, some of whom say they believe he uses distorted or inflammatory rhetoric that undermines their credibility.

Dumb Like a Fox (Columbia Journalism Review)
Image via WikipediaMarch/April issue
Last December 10 was a big news day. U.S. Senate negotiators announced they had agreed to a compromise on health care reform, final preparations were being made for a global conference on climate change, President Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, and new details emerged on five young American men who had been arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of plotting terror attacks. Not to mention that America was involved in two wars and was still in the throes of the worst recession in eighty years.
That night, the main news programs on the three cable news networks—CNN Tonight on CNN, Fox Report on Fox, and The Big Picture on MSNBC—all led with approximately five minutes of coverage of Obama, cutting between video of his acceptance speech and reports from on-the-ground reporters in Oslo. CNN and MSNBC also included on-air analysis of the speech by a variety of commentators. Fox had no such commentary on its news show, just a more-or-less straightforward report on the speech.
This might seem surprising, given the charges of bias leveled against Fox by members of the Obama administration. Charges, for example, like this from Anita Dunn, then the administration’s director of communications, speaking last October on Howard Kurtz’s CNN program, Reliable Sources:
The reality of it is that Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party. And it is not ideological. . . . What I think is fair to say about Fox, and the way we view it, is that it is more of a wing of the Republican Party. . . . They’re widely viewed as a part of the Republican Party: take their talking points and put them on the air, take their opposition research and put it on the air. And that’s fine. But let’s not pretend they’re a news organization like CNN is.Click HERE to Keep Reading!

10 jokes about Sarah Palin joining Fox News (TrueSlant.com)
By David Rees
1. Roger Ailes was interviewing Sarah Palin for a job at Fox News. “According to your resume, you left your last position as Governor of Alaska due to ‘philosophical differences’ with your employer. Could you explain?” “Y’see Mr. Ailes,” said Palin, “I became philosophically opposed to doing actual work instead of flying around in a private jet wearing fancy clothes and basking in the adulation of idiots.” “Oh, I didn’t mean that,” replied Ailes. “I meant, explain how you learned how to spell ‘philosophical.’”
2. A producer was giving Sarah Palin a tour of the Fox News studio. He pointed out the coffee machine, the restrooms, and the temperature-controlled pool where Glenn Beck’s tears are harvested. “Where’s the indoor dog track?” asked Palin. The producer was confused: “Indoor dog track?” “Yeah, I’ve heard dogs panting since I got here,” replied Palin. “Ah,” the producer said, “those aren’t panting dogs; it’s Bill Kristol. It means he’s excited to see you.”
3. Why did Sarah Palin cross the road?
Because there was an opportunity to make an ass of herself on the other side.

Dobbs: 2012 presidential run not "crazy" (Politico.com)
By Glen Thrush
Watch your back, Glenn Beck.
Ex-CNNer Lou Dobbs tells WTOP this morning that he feels "liberated and emancipated" since leaving the network — and he's not ruling out the possibility of running for president in 2012.
When one of the WTOP anchors joked that pundits were floating the crazy idea of the immigration-fixated Dobbs running for president, he shot back: "What's so crazy about that?" — and disclosed that he's talking to advisers to suss out his political options.
"For the first time I'm actually listening to [people who want him to run for office]. ... I don't think I have the nature for it. ... But we've got to do something for this country."

FOX rolls wrong video, heads may roll (SwampPolitics.com)
by Mark Silva
FOX has done it again, and this time, once again, FOX says its misplay of the wrong crowd video was another regrettable mistake.
Today, FOX News host Gregg Jarrett was talking about Republican Sarah Palin's book tour and the crowd she is drawing at the start of it - no small turnout, with some 1,500 people lining up early this morning for a chance to get into this evening's premier book-signing for Going Rogue in Grand Rapids.
"Sarah Palin continuing to draw huge crowds while she's promoting her brand new book,'' FOX's Jarrett told his viewers. "Take a look at -- these are some of the pictures just coming into us... The lines earlier had formed this morning.''
