‘Fair and Balanced’ Fox News allows only Republicans to debate Obama’s budget.
Sunday morning on Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace welcomed Sen. John Kyl (R-AZ) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to discuss President Obama’s budget plan — with not a single congressional Democrat or White House representative present to defend it. Predictably, Kyl and Ryan attacked Obama’s budget (Kyl called it “terrifying”); Fox News gave Obama’s critics an 15-plus minute opportunity to slam the budget without interruption.

"Man of the People" O'Reilly dumps on kids, then dismisses job-creation ad
You know Bill O'Reilly's in prime form, as he was Friday night, when he kicks off his Talking Points Memo segment calling Paul Krugman a "quasi socialist." Whee! It's all a rapid downhill shot from there.

The best part (in the same way careering, Calvinlike, in a high-speed toboggan off the cliff's edge and into the yawning abyss below is "the best part") came when discussing Obama's education programs:
O'Reilly: And gazillions more dollars will flow into America's schools. What good this will do I don't know, because if the kids walk around all day with iPods in their ears and rings in their noses, money simply won't matter.

Brit Hume Has a Snit Over Obama's Tax Plan "Squeezing the Rich"
Brit Hume was positively fuming over the Obama tax increases on this morning's Fox News Sunday. For once Juan Williams was actually the voice of reason.
Hume: Well it's just so dishonest because the top what, 2% of tax payers in this country pay something on the order of 40% of the taxes already. The top 5% pay 60% of the taxes already, income taxes. And the top 50% pay all but, you know they pay like 95% of the taxes. So most of the people in this country, most of the people pay almost, either no income taxes at all or almost none. That's like half the income brackets. So the idea that the playing field is somehow tilted in favor of the few is bosh!

And the idea that you're going to be able to squeeze out of the rich, who will move their money around and invest in such a way to avoid it as much as they can, this much money in tax receipts is crazy. There's only one way to get a big gusher of tax receipts out of the wealthy and everybody else and that is with an extraordinarily booming economy. And normally what happens is you get that when tax rates, which he proposes to allow to increase here go down. Not up.
Williams: Let me give you an alternative point of view. An alternative point of view is that 40% that you're talking about, those people earn about half of all the money that's earned in America. They're blessed to be in this country and to have the opportunity and why shouldn't they be responsible and pay their fair share of taxes?

So much intelligence out of Falafel, Gazillions of dollars, kids walk around with ipods, this imbecile is unaware that ipods and all that are banned all day at school.
Fair and Balanced?! Never has been on Faux, everytime they have an opposing GOP view they talk over them and don't let them get a word in edgewise, they just show their picture and turn the camera away when that guest is getting frustrated wondering why they had them on in the first place.
