If You Still Think Glenn Beck Is Not Racist…

Glenn Beck and his defenders have fiercely denied allegations that he is a racist or has incited racial hostility on his radio and TV programs. But the evidence of his animosity toward people of color is abundant since the election of a black president. Looking back on Beck’s crusades since the inauguration (which, coincidentally, was [...]

Rupert Murdoch’s Paywall Going Bust

In the latest in a long line of pinhead moves by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, the plan to secure the content of their newspaper web sites behind paywalls is failing miserably. A report in The Independent reveals that… “Faced with a collapse in traffic to thetimes.co.uk, some advertisers have simply abandoned the site.” and that [...]

Damn Right! I’ll Give George W. Bush Credit

Much of the Rightist media is clamoring for attention today on behalf of their hero, George W. Bush. The rallying cry has something to do with giving the former president credit for the Iraq war as President Obama announces an end to the military engagement. So in the spirit of bipartisanship, I will be happy [...]

Fox News FINALLY Refudiates Violent Rhetoric

Almost since its inception, Fox News has been a hotbed of irresponsible discourse that encouraged intolerance and hostility. They have harbored hosts, contributors and guests whose language was sometimes thinly veiled advocacy of violence, and sometimes there was no veil at all. Bill O’Reilly threatened to “hunt down” and “strangle” members of the media. Liz [...]

Beck-Stock Postmortum

I think it’s fair to say that the promised miracles for Glenn Beck’s Right Power Rally failed to materialize. There were no sightings of the Virgin Mary in tea leaves and no healing of lepers. [FLASH: Beck announced a "miracle" that occurred at the rally. Some birds flew overhead. Yep, that's it. Sends chills down [...]

Has Our Honor Been Restored Yet, Glenn Beck?

This was the big weekend for Glenn Beck, and allegedly, America. He went from the Kennedy Center Friday night to the Lincoln Memorial Saturday, on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream Speech.” That’s three murdered progressive heroes in two days. Is there a name for that sort of psychosis? I watched [...]

Martin Luther King On Restoring Honor

The real meaning of this day historically will always be the profound and transformative address delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to a quarter of a million Americans who had been denied the American dream. But Dr. King had a dream of his own [The full text of King's speech follows]: I am happy [...]

Fox News Posts Review Of Glenn Beck’s Rally Before It Happens

Fox News promos often tout the network as “The Most Powerful Name In News.” Now that power extends into the supernatural as FoxNews.com is caught publishing a story reviewing Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally in Washington, DC, the day before it takes place. This demonstration of journalistic clairvoyance may just be a part of the [...]

Fox News Caps Flow Of Oil Spill Stories

A new study by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism analyzed the coverage of news stories about the Gulf Coast oil spill. The results show that, while everyone else was busy trying to plug the leak, Fox News was putting a “top kill” on coverage of the catastrophe. “CNN spent the most [...]

Megyn Kelly: Capitalism Is Only For The Rich

On today’s segment of America Live on Fox News, host Megyn Kelly presented a segment (video below) about the developer of the Park51 Islamic community center near ground zero. It was promoted as an expose about the person responsible for the project and suggested that there would shocking new information about its financing. Of course [...]

Glenn Beck: Obama Is Not A Muslim – Or A Christian

For someone who continually broadcasts disclaimers that he is not an expert on anything, Glenn Beck sure pontificates on every subject imaginable as if he were the world’s supreme authority. In today’s episode Beck chose as his topic the actual supreme authority, God! The message that Beck sought to convey to his jello-brained viewers was [...]

Who Is Funding The NYC Mosque? Fox News!

Last week I reported that News Corp, the parent of Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and more, made a donation of $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. It’s bad enough that a major media company is bankrolling GOP campaigns and still pretending to be fair and balanced when they report on those campaigns, [...]

Fox News And Right-Wing Media Synergy

The Wall Street Journal published an article this morning profiling pollster Scott Rasmussen. The column was written by the Journal’s John Fund, who is also a Fox News contributor. The article’s subject, Rasmussen, is also a Fox News contributor whose surveys lean reliably to the right, which makes him a favorite of the conservative press. [...]

Fox News: Terrorist Command Center

The increasingly surreal debate over the non-mosque that is not at ground zero took another turn with Jon Stewart’s insightful and hilarious analysis. After establishing that right-wing mosque opponents have devolved into overt Islamaphobes who regard Islam as a faith of “women-stoning, suicide bombers” (Media Matters has more on this), Stewart documented the absurdity of [...]

Fox Nation Affirms Commitment To Fake News

In an affirmation of their opposition to truthful reporting, Fox Nation posted an article to complain that other news providers have the audacity to strive for truthfulness. The headline on Fox Nation said… AP Orders Staff to Stop Using Phrase ‘Ground Zero Mosque’. The Fox Nationalists linked to a memo from Tom Kent, AP’s Deputy [...]

Glenn Beck Drops Veterans From 8/28 Rally

In a notice posted today at Congress.org, Glenn Beck finally got the permit for his 8/28 rally approved. It was also noted that he changed the purpose of the rally from a “demonstration to honor veterans” to simply a “restoring honor rally.” Why would Beck alter the purpose to something so generic it that it [...]

The Ever Irrelevant Fox Nation Slams Sheryl Crow

Today on Fox Nation the editors featured a story that further demonstrates how out of touch they are and how desperately dishonest. The Fox Nationalists decided to go after the beautiful and talented Sheryl Crow for her audacity to exercise her First Amendment rights. The headline in their entertainment section was “Increasingly Irrelevant Sheryl Crow [...]

Fox News Tells 9/11 Families To Fear Fox News

This morning on Fox and Friends there was another ridiculous, fear mongering, discussion of the non-mosque that is not at ground zero. In this farcical parade of ignorant banter the hosts were aghast at the notion that some of the funds for the proposed Islamic community center at 51 Park Place might come from sources [...]

Olbermann Features News Corpse On Countdown

On yesterday’s broadcast of Countdown on MSNBC, host Keith Olbermann featured a story about News Corpse. I couldn’t be more proud. Actually, it was a story on the $1 million donation from Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp to the Republican Governor’s Association. Although I did report on this unprecedented bankrolling of GOP candidates by a major [...]

Fox News Refuses To Discuss GOP Donation

When former White Director of Communications, Anita Dunn, said that Fox News was an arm of the Republican Party, she was merely articulating a fact that was known to many for years. And now that it has been revealed that Fox’s parent company, News Corp, made a $1,000,000 donation to the Republican Governor’s Association, there [...]

Freak Show

What better theme to illustrate the absurdity of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News than a circus, and specifically, a FreakShow?

[Click here to purchase Freakshow stickers]

The triumvirate of Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and Glenn Beck, are the epitome of the sideshow ethos that celebrates fantasy and fraud. They are consummate con men and purveyors of a twisted set of clown family values that honor war, wealth, and religious and racial prejudice. They are the ideal representatives for a so-called "news" network that traffics in propaganda, sleaze, and disinformation.

Choose Your Weapon

The past decade has seen the artist's place in society become an increasingly wobbly axis of discord as they are battered and belittled for doing nothing more than what they were born to do: express themselves.

[Click here to purchase Choose Your Weapon stickers]

The time has come to beat back the repressive forces that prefer the Dark Ages to the Renaissance. Those that presently grip the reins of our society know the power with which art speaks, and they are doing their best to suppress it. We must not leave them alone on that battlefield.

Harmful If Swallowed

The corporate-dominated Mainstream Media dishes out copious portions of toxic disinformation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

[Click here to purchase Harmful If Swallowed stickers]

As with any potentially dangerous substance, it ought to come with a warning label to protect consumers. Seeing as how the media were probably not going to do it themselves, the designers at News Corpse stepped forward to provide this sticker to protect unwary citizens from harm.

America's Barack

History was made on November 4, 2008, when Barack Obama overwhelming won election to become the 44th President of the United States of America.

[Click here to purchase America's Barack stickers and T-shirts]

Forty-five long years after Martin Luther King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, the manifestation of that dream has come to pass. The fulfillment of this dream is a declaration that we can come back from the dark days of division that characterized the Bush years, and much of the past two hundred. And it is evidence that the people, when inspired, will rise up to take back their country.

McCain NOPE

Peace? Nope. Health care? Nope. Fair trade and tax? Nope. Choice? Nope. Environment? Nope. Get the idea?

[Click here to purchase McCain NOPE stickers and T-shirts]

John McCain, the "straight-talking, maverick" Republican candidate for senate, is rapidly becoming better known as a flip-flopping, sycophant, who is happy to keep our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for another 100 years and tolerate the befouling of our environment. In contrast to Barack Obama's campaign of optimism and hope, McCain offers a vision that is squarely focused on obstacles.
