Fox’s John Stossel claimed that it’s a “myth” that “the poor are getting poorer” and that they are actually getting “richer.” In fact, incomes for the bottom fifth have shown almost no growth in recent decades, and the numbers Stossel used to support his argument were cherry-picked.

FoxNews.com recently promoted the internet-based conspiracy theory that financier and philanthropist George Soros will somehow corrupt vote counting in the United States through a Spanish company “that Soros owns a big share of.” The conspiracy is false: Soros has no involvement or investments in the company.
Because Shrill O’Lielly is nothing if not a flaming hypocrite.

If you hear a loud popping sound, that would be Bill O’Reilly’s head exploding, as his former associate producer is also going to be delving into the sexual harassment lawsuit brought against O’Reilly in 2004.
“The reason you won’t see me on Fox is, as I said to them: ‘I don’t mind that you call it Fox, but I do mind that you call it News.’ There’s no resemblance to news. It has nothing to do with news. News is a report of something that happened. Fox has opinions and agendas; that’s not news. It isn’t just a bias or a slant either, it’s propaganda, pure and simple. I doubt there’s ever been a true thing said on Fox. Maybe the weather report, maybe not.” ~ Fran Lebowitz

Most notably, Hannity continues to promote and support another WorldNetDaily nutcase, Jesse Lee Peterson.
Last night, however, even a Fox Democrat like Kirsten Powers found it too hard to contain herself when seated next to Peterson. As Ellen at NewsHounds points out, Powers completely derailed Hannity’s planned Obama-bashing segment by turning to Peterson and demanding he explain himself for his recent declaration that most women are “little whores”.
