Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday defended colleague Sarah Palin said that he found comparisons between federal debt to human slavery to be “fairly unobjectionable.” Earlier this month, MSNBC host Martin Bashir had blasted Palin after a speech…

Stop Fox News: Tell FCC To Revoke Broadcast License NOW!

Stop Fox News: Tell FCC To Revoke Broadcast License NOW! 

Help us take Fox News off the air—get the FCC to revoke Rupert Murdoch’s broadcast licenses NOW!

The deplorable actions Murdoch has taken to run his News Corp. empire prove we can't trust him to act in the public interest. Now, a study by Farleigh Dickinson University shows Fox News can’t even claim to inform its audience: its viewers are less informed than those who avoid news outlets altogether!

It’s the Federal Communications Commission’s job to consider the character of a media owner when dealing out broadcast licenses, and to label programs as news only when they actually inform viewers. The Murdoch Mafia has failed on both counts, and we have a chance to take them down for good. Save the airwaves from bigotry and corruption: tell the FCC to enforce the law NOW!

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION: Rupert Murdoch has failed every “character” test available, and the programs under his broadcasting licenses have both been implicated in scandal and have been proven to make audiences less informed, not more. We urge you to revoke Murdoch’s broadcasting licenses immediately, and to take a stand against his corrupt media empire.

Jon Stewart rips Chris Wallace for comparing Obamacare to Katrina: ‘You might be out of your f*cking mind’

By Arturo Garcia

While Jon Stewart went to town on Monday on media outlets for parroting Republicans and comparing the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) troubled implementation to Hurricane Katrina, he stopped for a second to address Fox News Chris Wallace for saying Katrina “ended within a week,” while the new law could affect people “for years to come.”

“Are you out of your –” Stewart began to say, before stopping once he heard his audience’s collected groan. “Do you know you’ve disappointed our audience? They think you might be out of your f*cking mind.”

While he had no intentions of polishing the “.turd” that was the government health care exchange website healthcare.gov, Stewart said, he also mocked Republicans for being offended by the comparison, and pointed out that Gov. Bobby Jindal’s refused to allow his state to take part in one of the new health care exchanges offered as part of the ACA while accusing the White House of “bullying” Louisiana.

“Bullying?” Stewart asked incredulously. “The feds were gonna pay for the Medicaid expansion. How was that bullying? ‘Hey, four-eyes, you need to see an opthamologist, we can cover that. How is that bullying?’”

Frustrated, Stewart turned to his correspondents to find the proper George W. Bush-era debacle to link to “Obamacare,” with Samantha Bee choosing the debate over waterboarding political prisoners.

“Healthcare.gov is the towel Obama is wrapping around our faces,” Bee explained. “And the board is the failed promise of universal healthcare.”

“What’s the water?” Stewart asked her.

“I don’t know, water’s water, Jon,” Bee replied. “What am I, Robert Frost?”

Meanwhile, Al Madrigal reached back further and compared the new law to the second war against Iraq.

“When I think ‘glitchy website,’ the first thing that comes to my mind is, ‘decade-long war started under false pretenses,’” Madrigal said.

Watch Stewart and his panel discuss the failed “Obamacare” analogies, as posted online on Monday, below.

David Frum: Republicans Have Been Fleeced, Exploited, and Lied To by Right Wing Media

Yet more crude and vulgar hate speech that we've come to expect from yet another far-right "Christian". We quote (With no corrections to his poor syntax, spelling and grammar):
"why don't all you stupid liberals wash the horseshit out of your brains. morally bankrupt hopers and dreamers without any sense of reality. don't you ever call conservatives Liars. You just hate when you're caught red handed spreading satan's work all over the planet."
- Greg Howard, owner of Pleasant valley pools (Lack of proper capitalization, his own).
Our reply:
Wow, Greg Howard, we'll quote you on that on our main page, because you certainly prove to be the typical and expected points of this page. Unless you think those Republicans are perfect saints, everyone lies to some degree, and no one here is stooping to your lie that anyone called them "liars", but of course you probably can't comprehend the difference between labeling someone "liar" and addressing lies on their own merits....because if lies make people "liars", then we all are.
Aside from that, anyone is free to call anybody anything they want. It's called free speech or the First Amendment to the Constitution.
You're also "bearing false witness" about the administrators of this page, who are two Registered Independents and two Registered Republicans, who, as with Bob Dole, John McCain, Colin Powell, Bush's David Frum, etc., are tired of right-wing extremism such as yours doing damage to the Republican brand....speaking of which...
You're not only caught "red handed spreading satan's work" with your own lies by misquoting people, but you stoop to the very UnChristian and primitive emotionalism by evoking an ancient iron-age fairy tale (satan) that your alleged "all-knowing, all-creator" created, yet "knew" people of your low caliber would sin nevertheless.
An alleged "god" who "creates" an "eternal lake of fire", is no god, but a monster that would make Hitler's torture chambers appear like playgrounds...oh wait...your alleged "god" also "created" Hitler.
You, Greg Howard, owner-operator of Pleasant Valley Pools, are "caught red-handed" clinging to your socialized belief system, built on lies and contradictions about an "all-powerful god" (who would thus have power over "satan") of which you have not one shred of proof and evidence for.
Your type of hate speech and generalizations are lies, Greg Howard, as other Republicans point out, with proof and evidence in the right-wing extremists' own words:

Fox News Sunday Panelists Mislead On Changes To Health Insurance Coverage

Fox News Sunday Panelists Mislead On Changes To Health Insurance Coverage 

October 27, 2013 3:39 PM EDT ››› OLIVER WILLIS

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace hyped reports that insurers are cancelling health plans without noting that new policies will offer better coverage at comparable cost.
Host Chris Wallace cited statistics from a Kaiser Health News article that discussed the changes in insurance coverage, claiming the article showed people "losing health insurance, not gaining it." Panelist Brit Hume complained that people were being forced into coverage "for things they may feel they don't need" and that people are getting "a government-mandated deal." Wallace added that "there's no free lunch" and ridiculed the idea that consumers would get "more for less."
But Wallace neglected to cite the section of the article that noted that "the new policies will offer consumers better coverage, in some cases, for comparable cost -- especially after the inclusion of federal subsidies for those who qualify." It continues:

The law requires policies sold in the individual market to cover 10 "essential" benefits, such as prescription drugs, mental health treatment and maternity care. In addition, insurers cannot reject people with medical problems or charge them higher prices. The policies must also cap consumers' annual expenses at levels lower than many plans sold before the new rules.

Patrick Geraghty, the CEO of insurance company Florida Blue, one of the companies that are sending out notices to consumers, appeared on NBC's Meet the Press and explained to host David Gregory that the 300,000 who had been contacted by the company about their insurance coverage were not being cut: "What we've been doing is informing folks that their plan doesn't meet the test of the essential health benefits; therefore, they have a choice of many options that we make available through the exchange. And, in fact, with subsidy, many people will be getting better plans at a lesser cost. This really is a transition. In fact, the 300,000 figure is the entire year. So it's really 40,000 people for January 1, and we're walking them through that transition."

Fox’s Own Poll Proves Its Viewers are Practically Brain-Dead

 Mark Harvey 

 

As reported in The Daily News, Fox News recently ran a poll asking its Republican viewers their opinions. The poll indicated that only 14% of Republicans support Obamacare. That is to be expected, but what makes this newsworthy is that the same people were asked if they supported the Affordable Care Act, and 22% said that they did!  This means that a full 8% of the people polled didn’t even know that the ACA and Obamacare are the exact same thing.
This brings up two questions. Why did these people not understand that they were being asked about the same thing, and why is the Republican party ignoring the fact that nearly a quarter of their constituents actually approve of the law? The second question is a much bigger issue that would require much more time to delve into, so for now let’s focus on the first one. Fox’s Own Poll Proves Its Viewers are Practically Brain-Dead
The major problem with the war over the Affordable Care Act is that there is so much misinformation out there being perpetrated by the Right that everyday citizens are left confused. We’ve reported on the misinformation surrounding the Affordable Care Act many times like here, here, here, here, and here, and that’s just in the past two weeks! And as this poll, and Daily Kos, show even the use of the name ‘Obamacare’ is causing great confusion.  Unfortunately no matter how much the Democrats and the Left try to disseminate the truth and make sure that people truly understand how the law works and what it will mean, the ears of conservatives are closed.
Everyone enjoys it when the sources for their information jive with what they personally feel, but unfortunately too many pundits and people in power on the Right continue to push the misinformation. One might think that something that helps people would be supported in a bipartisan manner, but obviously there is an ulterior motive to their insistence on ignoring the truth and spreading lies. We’ll leave what that motive is alone for another discussion.
However, there is a lesson that can be learned by this.  People who take Fox polls don’t know what they’re talking about, or at least 8% of them don’t.  Think of it this way; if 8% prove that they don’t even know that ACA and Obamacare are the same thing, imagine how many more don’t actually know anything about the law. But don’t waste too much time trying to convince them they’re wrong, you may just end up losing friends over something that they’ll never change their minds about. I wouldn’t be surprised if even after it starts improving their lives that they’re still against it, probably at least 8%.

Sarah Palin To Chris Wallace: Reveal Republicans Who Are Trying To 'Trash Ted Cruz' 

 

Sarah Palin went after Chris Wallace on Sunday after the Fox News host said he received opposition research from Republicans about Ted Cruz.
"This has been one of the strangest weeks I've ever had in Washington," Wallace said on "Fox News Sunday." "As soon as we listed Ted Cruz as our featured guest this week, I got unsolicited research and questions, not from Democrats, but from top Republicans to hammer Cruz."
Palin responded on Twitter, writing: "@FoxNewsSunday Keep it TRULY fair & balanced. Release the GOP names encouraging you to trash @SenTedCruz. No more anonymous sources."
Wallace hosted Cruz to discuss the Republican bill to defund Obamacare in order to avoid a government shutdown, which has almost no chance of passing the Senate. The initiative has earned the senator the ire of fellow Republicans. Cruz has called for filibustering the bill, which he supports, in the Senate to prevent Democrats from amending it.
