I guess it's time for this.  Better to have just one go-to thread instead of dozens all over the place.


Today Obama held a joint press conference with Angela Merkel to discuss the situation in Ukraine, and even field questions about the cruel and unusual punishment doled out in Oklahoma three days ago.  You know, actually newsworthy stuff.

At about the same time, the House GOP announced it's putting together another committee to help create jobs and increase the minim-... oh sorry, I meant investigate Benghazi.

In steps Fox News:

LMFAO. Who in their right mind puts increasing numbers further down on the vertical side?

You make it seem like this was an honest mistake.

Well that would explain why the tickers at the bottom are identical.

You make it seem like this was an actual FOX News chart.  Nope, it was a hoax.

The mark of good satire is when it can be wholly believed as fact.

You see guys, it's the liberals who are 'controversializing' Benghazi!

Well you tell us, Elisabeth.  You currently work for Fox News, while your husband is retired (albeit an occasional analyst for ESPN.)

Jon Stewart puts all this Benghazi silliness into perspective (once you get past the yelling, flailing around, and face-pulling that makes his show inferior to the Colbert Report, of course):

Is this inaccurate?

Yes.  Multiple leaders of Boko Haram were designated as terrorists by the State Dept in 2012, but not the organization itself yet because intel at the time could only place it in the hazy area between terrorism and 'strange remote-area cult'.

But the main thing to note of course is Fox's desperate effort to derail Clinton by any means necessary by 2016.

Brit Hume and George Will mock the '#bringbackourgirls' movement

I mean okay, they have a point, but no need to be a giant dick about it.

I don't like Fox News that much, but in all fairness, we should at least create an "LOL MSNBC" thread (or even one for CNN.)

You seriously consider CNN biased? To a degree it would need a LOL thread?

Not sure about bias, but I started a megathread for CNN's lolworthy geography fails several years ago.  I guess their 24/7 coverage of the missing Malaysian plane and that 'poo cruise' last year counts for something as well.

Fox in 2012:  Hillary had a head injury?  Pfft, whatever.  She's faking it.

Fox in 2014:  HILLARY CAN'T BE PRESIDENT, HER HEAD NEARLY FELL OFF

Fox is in talks with Stacey Dash, aka that one girl who was in the movie Clueless, to become a regular talking head.  This will certainly help their credibility image.

You know that when Hannity has Palin on his show, hilarious things will ensue.

As somebody who couldn't be bothered to finish the job she was elected to, Sarah Palin is an expert in laziness.

Why is the left obsessed with fox news?

Because it spews misinformation on a constant basis, and millions of impressionable voters lap it up?

This guest contribution post comes courtesy of CNN:

First, CNN President Jeff Zucker admits that they're devoting less coverage to climate change because it doesn't bring in the ratings like a missing plane or a poo cruise will...

And next, a CNN journalist devotes a 2300-word essay and a slideshow to comparing modern-day America to Game of Thrones.


Truly the most trusted name in news.

Fox's Lauren Ashburn complains that it's just not fair when Fox News gets blamed for the misinformation that its anchors spread.

Their local San Diego affiliate, but still... there's something awfully familiar about that rape suspect:
