Given recent allegations that 3 military service members — all who are in charge of sexual assault programs — committed sexual assaults, Fox News has seriously underreported the topic. While MSNBC spent nearly 5 hours on it in the last 2 weeks, Fox News spent less than 19 minutes.

mediamattersforamerica:

Fox News calls electric car company Tesla a “failure” and then when it becomes profitable suddenly forgets that it received a government loan.

Fox News is basically a kid that bullies the new kid for being new and different but then when the new kid starts to settle in is all “HEY DO YOU WANT TO COME TO MY BDAY PARTY YOU SEEM LIKE GREAT AND SUCCESSFUL NOW THAT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE YOU.”

that is an excellent analogy

White Men, Everyone Else: Gender and Ethnic Diversity on Cable News

Media Matters spent the month of April reviewing evening guests on cable news. The results, unfortunately, don’t surprise: CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC “overwhelmingly host male and white guests.”

Read through for the details as the watchdog group breaks down the numbers for each network. We learn, for instance, that “Out of 1,677 total guests, CNN had the largest proportion of men — 76 percent — during the month of April;” and “Fox News had the largest proportion of white guests — 83 percent.”

Hat tip to Chris Hayes, whose show is the most diverse in cable evening news. And getting there isn’t very difficult. “We just would look at the board and say, ‘We already have too many white men. We can’t have more,’” Hayes told Ann Friedman at the Columbia Journalism Review back in March. “Really, that was it.”

Congressman Tears Into Fox News Host For Obsessing Over Benghazi Talking Points:

Especially interesting now that we know that the administration emails Republicans and Fox News have been touting as proof of a cover-up and conspiracy were falsified.

CNN Blows Huge Hole In GOP Efforts To Prosecute Benghazi Scandal

CNN Blows Huge Hole In GOP Efforts To Prosecute Benghazi Scandal:

shortformblog:

CNN’s Jake Tapper has managed to get his hands on the critical White House email suggested as the proof that the White House was more interested in removing references to possible terrorist attacks in the now infamous Benghazi talking points then they were in telling the truth to the American public.

The actual email, written in the days following the Benghazi attack, reveals something else entirely. We now know that whoever leaked the contents of the email to various media outlets last week seriously misquoted the document, choosing to paraphrase the content in a way that made it appear that the White House was focused on protecting the State Department’s back and covering up information.

And the plot thickens…

Who wants to place bets on Fox ignoring this development?

Egyptian man disguised as woman is harassed

Egyptian man disguised as woman is harassed:

CAIRO (AP) — Waleed Hammad dressed conservatively for his secret mission into the world of sexual harassment and abuse on the streets of Cairo, donning a long tan skirt and sleeved shirt, and at times covering his head like many Egyptian women.

Why does no one believe women, people of color or size or anyone wearing hijab who repeatedly tell stories of their harassment until some dude or someone in a higher position of power dresses up as them and does a social experiment and everyone is like OH MY GOD WHAT THIS HAPPENS (looking at you, Tyra)? over it.

“secret mission into the world of street harassment” are you joking.

Rubio: ‘I just want to congratulate those like Fox News’ for pushing Benghazi | The Raw Story:

Since the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi last year, Fox News has served as a platform for Republicans who have tried to turn the tragedy into a scandal, first to damage President Barack Obama’s bid for re-election, then to derail U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice’s chances to be secretary of state and now to focus on Clinton.

Even Fox News host Megyn Kelly observed during the Wednesday hearings that the network had gotten a “little lopsided” by favoring Republicans.

After spending so much time demanding a hearing, you’d think that they would care more about what was being said.

“I have to say that the media is really President Obama’s scandal condom. No matter how rough things get, nothing gets through.”

Fox News’ Eric Boiling, keeping on with the Fox News Benghazi obsession and their perceived lack of coverage from the rest of the media.

This is pretty hilarious.
