Facebook Is Hosting the Republican Debate, So Why Can’t We Watch Online?

Thursday’s debate between Republican candidates for President is must see TV. But if you’re a cordcutter who doesn’t subscribe to traditional TV, you’re sadly out of luck. The highly anticipated debate is co-hosted by Facebook, but the only legal way to watch it live is on Fox News. It almost seems like a no-brainer that…

Help CA Gov. Jerry Brown Deliver Climate Change Memo To GOP Candidates

The climate is changing and no state has felt this more acutely than drought-plagued California, where 100,000 acres of forest are burning today—including one fire that’s 100 square miles. Today, the state’s governor Jerry Brown asked for help posing a question to Republican leaders: “What is your plan to deal with the threat of climate…

Fox News Clip Is A Master Class On How Not To Discuss Sexism In Comics

This past week, we listed off some of the ridiculous arguments that people make to defend sexism in superhero comics, but it looks like we may have to add a few more to that list. This conversation between three Fox News hosts brings up some baffling points about female superheroes. https://gizmodo.com/10-stupid-arguments-people-use-to-defend-comic-book-sex-1636381824 Tucker Carlson, Anna Kooiman,…

Fox News Now Classifies Climate Change As “Superstition”

Fox News’ “Special Report” took a look at the latest climate-change studies. And even by the network’s standards, this segment of grumpy-old-men-punditry was profoundly bizarre, complete with comparisons to rain dancing and Old Testament floods. The report opened with George Will griping about the “97% consensus” figure. (“Who counted them? Who measured? Where did that…

Fox News Just Had a Wonderful Homepage Malfunction

Whether Fox News got hacked (unlikely) or their giant new iPads are causing something to go haywire, the stars seem to have aligned in our favor today. And the result, friends, is glorious. Wherever this gift from god and/or Rupert Murdoch above came from, time-wise, it’s all over the place. World Zombie Day was back…

What’s Fox News Do With Its Absurd, Giant iPads? Play Candy Crush, Duh

When Fox News first introduced its new news room full of ridiculously giant iPad-lookin’ Windows tablets, our first question was “why?!” but now that the team has done a little journalism on Candy Crush, it’s all suddenly crystal clear. We know first hand that Candy Crush can be addicting, but Shepard Smith took the opportunity…

Why Is the Fox News Room Full of Absurdly Giant iPads?

Over on Fox News’ website, Shepard Smith gives us a tour of the the Fox News Deck’s upgraded studio which inexplicably features a team of staffers in the background working at what appear to be gigantic tablets. According to Smith, those are actually “information specialists” frantically pawing away at what Fox calls BATS—or big area…

Insane pundit “explains” Obamacare in Star Trek Gorn mask

Whether you think the Affordable Healthcare Act is good or bad, I think we can all agree that Alex Jones is completely out of his mind, right? I mean, not only is he posing as an evil lizard alien who loves Obamacare, nothing he says in this video makes any fucking sense. By the end,…

Fox News (Falsely) Reports iPhone 5 Will Have Laser Keyboard and Holographic Images

Loyal viewers of Fox 5 news will be pretty disappointed come September 21, when they discover their shiny new iPhone 5s have exactly none of the sweet features the NYC Fox affiliate has reported the phone to have. The news channel, rather embarrassingly, played a year-old iPhone 5 concept video during a package about the…

No, Fox News, dinosaurs did not fart their way to extinction

Did dinosaur flatulence on the part of sauropods like Apatosaurus warm the Earth? Possibly. At least, that’s the main takeaway from a paper published in the latest issue of Current Biology. https://gizmodo.com/dinosaur-farts-caused-jurassic-global-warming-5908144 But did these dinosaurs “gas themselves to extinction,” as this article from Fox News reports? Let’s put it this way: if they did,…

Outfoxed: Revisiting Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism

Last week, Rupert Murdoch finally admitted to the obvious phone-hacking cover-up at his now shut-down tabloid News of the World—not that anyone had any doubts about it before his confession. And just this morning, a report was released by a UK Parliamentary panel declaring the media mogul unfit to lead his own empire. My, how…

Fox News accuses The Lorax and Arrietty of brainwashing your children

Fox News’ Lou Dobbs is taking aim at The Lorax and The Secret World of Arrietty for brainwashing our kids with their anti-industrialism agenda, and for foisting Obama’s rhetoric about “sharing” onto children. Because sharing is evil. We would be shocked, except that digging through pop culture’s leftovers in search of indoctrination paranoia is not…

Fox News’ Twitter Account Hacked, Claims Barack Obama Is Dead

Needless to say, the President is very much alive and well, having not been “shot twice in the lower pelvic area and in the neck” as the @FoxNewsPolitics Twitter account claims. The tweets began in the early hours of July 4th, and included obvious fallacies such as “@BarackObama has just passed. The President is dead.…

Fox News to FBI Cybersquad: Get In Front Of Some High Tech Looking Stuff…Quick!

That’s not an actual quote of course, but the scene here looks so contrived that it seems plausible. The scary thing is that the Cybersquad is protecting our data with old Dells, Windows XP and “intimidating” Matrix screensavers. Plus, that 37-inch Westinghouse sitting right on top of the keyboard is a good indicator that the…
