Fox News released a brutal statement Tuesday reacting to the announcement from the Donald Trump campaign that he would be bowing out of the next Republican presidential debate. "As many of our viewers know, FOX News is hosting a sanctioned debate in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday night, three days before the first votes of the 2016 election are cast in the Iowa Caucus. Donald Trump is refusing to debate seven of his fellow presidential candidates on stage that night, which is near unprecedented," the statement read. The network accused the campaign of leveling terroristic threats against debate moderator and...

Fox News, which is hosting the first Republican debate of the 2016 campaign, will require participants to place in the top 10 in an average of the five most recent national polls in the run-up to the event, according to details obtained by The Washington Post Thursday. The standard will winnow what is expected to be a field of 16 or more GOP presidential candidates by the Aug. 6 event in Cleveland. Determining which contenders will get to participate in the official forums sanctioned by the Republican National Committee has been a thorny challenge for the cable news network and...

Major news networks have all rejected two animated television spots developed by Phoenix-based Swiss America Trading Corp. depicting Ben Bernanke and President Obama printing money with abandon, and promoting ownership of gold and silver as protection against this policy. The ads have been rejected by Fox, Fox Business, CNBC, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, & the Discovery Channel.

Last week in a post titled: With Friends Like Fox News Palin Is Better Off With Her Enemies, we reported on how Fox News is out to take down Governor Palin. We wrote (Emphesis added): Fox wants Palin out but they don’t want to suspend her contract because by doing so they’ll be conceding that she’s a serious contender. Fox won’t do anything that would lend her credibility. They just want her to resign. The tactic now is to makePalin’s life as difficult and as miserable as possible until Palin just gets frustrated and leaves on her own citing irreconcilable...

Just moments ago, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney announced that he’ll be running for president in 2012. So we want to know what you think about the GOP-ers who have entered the race so far. Do you think it’s slim pickins’? Do you know exactly who would get your vote? Take our poll by clicking “more.”

Recently we had a series of discussions with someone familiar with the inside dealings of Fox News regarding the way Fox News treats Governor Palin. While I don’t condone using anonymous sources (I usually make fun of those citing anonymous sources) unfortunately we can’t not reveal the source. So we have therefore gathered the evidence that will back up everything we were told and it’s up to the reader to come to his or her own conclusion. Whichever way you look at it, the evidence is astonishing on how Fox News is out to sabotage Governor Palin.When Roger Ailes hired...

Sheppard Smith just stated that Fox confirms that Obama is a resident of the United States.

Juan Williams suggests that Arizonans’ anger at immigrants is reason for Giffords’ shooting. After Gabrielle Giffords’ shooting two days ago, many Democrats and liberals across the US were salivating at the opportunity to hurt the conservative movement by unethically associating it with the congresswoman’s shooter, Jared Loughner. This opportunism is seen in everyone from Arizona State Senator Linda Lopez to the out-of-control loose cannon who is Pima County’s Sherriff Dupnik. Yesterday, in a TV appearance, Juan Williams tried a slightly different track, but still managed to character assassinate many conservatives. Williams didn’t connect Loughner directly to right-wingers, but he did...

Tamara Holder, contributor to Fox News, just made an argument that the immigration law in Arizona has another fault; apparently Jan Brewer did not go to college, so that must make her incapable of governing. Steve Doocy challenged Tamara to verify what she said, but then he changed the subject. Looks like FNC is interviewing replacements for Juan Williamsn and Kirsten Powers in case of emergency.
