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 [...]

There is nothing I could possibly add to this amazing video fact-check of the wild inaccuracies that Fox peppers its PATRIOT Act report with, produced by my friend Julian Sanchez of the Cato Institute.
Video after the jump:

Jesse Watters, the infamous Fox News producer who’s sometimes dispatched to ambush people who’ve said mean things about Bill O’Reilly, made the rounds of the Values Voter Summit–I watched him interview Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) with some of the friendliest questions I’ve ever heard. At the close of that Cantor interview, Watters asked the second-ranking [...]

When reporters walked up to the ballroom of the Omni Shoreham Hotel to see Bill O’Reilly’s Friday night speech — he was receiving the “Media Courage Award” — we were told, to our surprise, that no members of the media would be allowed in. Word had leaked out that no non-Fox News cameras would be [...]

Here’s a strange story. On Sept. 8, Orly Taitz gave a press conference outside a California courthouse, during which she invited a small cast of characters to give statements. Taitz introduced a man named Marc Harris as “a reporter for Glenn Beck show (sic), number one radio show, and Fox News,” and Harris told reporters [...]

So, how many people showed up at the 9/12 taxpayer march on Washington? One signal of the confusion over crowd counts came from the stage. Speakers alternately thanked a crowd that numbered in the “tens of thousands” and the “hundreds of thousands.” The source of that confusion, however, seemed to come from Twitter. The plugged-in [...]

So many awesome signs. (Click to enlarge.)

This one was interesting. When I asked her if she was on Medicare, she said no, but she was carrying the sign for her friend who is on the government-run, single-payer health insurance program for older Americans. I asked the friend if she was happy with her Medicare, and [...]

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), the congressman who shouted “you lie” during President Obama’s health care address to Congress, was probably the biggest hero at today’s Tea Party rally in Washington. Signs reading “Joe Wilson for President” and “Thanks, Joe” were omnipresent, as were chants of “you lie.”
In my interview with Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) after [...]
