Poll: 67 Percent of Americans Approve of Obama’s Bow

Eric Kleefeld points to the internals of a Fox News poll — one that shows President Obama’s overall approval rating dipping into the mid-40s — that has a mere 26 percent of Americans saying it’s “never appropriate” for the president to bow to foreign leaders. Sixty-seven percent say it’s fine.

International Justice Group Takes Aim at Bush Officials

The International Center for Transitional Justice usually focuses on bringing to light and holding perpetrators accountable for such heinous crimes as genocide, mass murder and systematic torture, often in far-off war-torn countries with dismal human rights records.
So it’s significant that today they’ve released a report calling on the United States to follow its legal obligation [...]


DeMint: ‘I Hope They Don’t Do Anything’

[UPDATE: This post has been updated below with some more context.]
Here’s a revealing moment on Fox News yesterday, after former President Bill Clinton met with Senate Democrats on health care and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) talked it over with Neil Cavuto. The host asked the senator about Clinton’s pitch, and how he reminded Democrats of [...]


Fox News Host Slanders Muslim Soldiers by Association With Ft. Hood Shooter

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.

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


Ailes 2012: The Early Odds

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.”


The Nadir/Apex of ‘Obama’s War on Fox’ Commentary

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!


This Week’s Supervillain

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 [...]


Fox News Poll: Fox Will Defeat the White House

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