You might think that that commentary about a deranged lone gunman ought to await the facts, but you’re not going to get a job at Fox News with that attitude. Raw Story catches Fox’s Brian Kilmeade asking a guest, “Do you think it’s time for the military to have special debriefings of Muslim Army officers [...]

Here’s a somewhat surprising result from the new Fox News poll. Asked which president is “more responsible for the current state of the economy,” only 18 percent say President Obama. Fifty-eight percent say former President George W. Bush. Nine percent blame both of them. Republicans are the only subgroup of voters who blame Obama, and [...]

The tradition of “wait, what did they ask?” questions in Fox News polls continues with this one from the network’s Oct. 29 survey.

Five days after Mike Allen reported that friends of Fox News creator Roger Ailes wanted him to run for president, and four-and-a-half days since Ailes laughed the story off, the Ailes-for-president bubble–as ridiculous as it seems–is still serving as a way for conservatives to frame what they see as a White House “war on Fox.”

I nominate this Mike Lester cartoon from the Rome (Ga.) News-Tribune, which posits, hilariously, that the president wants soldiers to murder people who like Fox News. Including fellow soldiers!

It’s looking like it’ll be interim White House Communications Director Anita Dunn — who came under fire from Fox News host Glenn Beck last week for quoting Mao Zedong in a speech earlier this year — again taking some of the heat off of “safe schools czar” Kevin Jennings. Laura Ingraham opened her agenda-setting radio [...]

This is just a … strange question from the new Fox News poll:

This video from Glenn Beck’s show is making the rounds on the right, and it is sort of sublime. Beck, who’s been after interim White House Communications Director Anita Dunn since she attacked Fox News, gives a short briefing on Chinese Communism to his audience before playing a clip of Dunn talking about perseverance.
“The third [...]

Here’s the video of the day: Neil Cavuto of Fox News reacting to the Dow Jones index’s recovery by asking his first guest whether former President George W. Bush should get credit.

“What was once the Bush recession is now the Bush recovery,” asks Cavuto, “or is that a stretch?”
“It defies logic that you could blame [...]

Via Nate Silver, I’m just now seeing the full crosstabs of a 10/1 Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll. Looking it over, it’s tough to see how a straight-up Republican organization would have altered it at all. Most of the questions deal with fears of the national debt, which is one of the worst-reported, least-understood economic issues [...]
