Fox Celebrates National Dog Day, Not Women's Equality Day
Fox News' morning programming ignored Women's Equality Day, yet took time to highlight "National Dog Day." In 1971, Congress passed a joint resolution designating August 26 Women's Equality Day, on the date of the 1970 Women's Strike for Equality. The commemorative holiday celebrates the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which gave women the right to vote, and is intended to call attention to women's ongoing struggle for equal treatment in the United States.
3 Failed Attempts By Right-Wing Media To Dismiss The Facts Of NY Times' Benghazi Report
Right-wing media were quick to discount a report from The New York Times ' David Kirkpatrick that debunked favored conservative claims, but the outlets offered scant evidence to contest Kirkpatrick's findings. Instead, they resorted to questioning the Times' actions during the attack, baselessly claiming that the paper "whitewash[ed]" Hillary Clinton's culpability, and scouring outdated reporting to hype a tenuous Al Qaeda connection.
Did George Will's Offensive Rape Comments Alienate Another Institution?
UPDATE: Scripps College President Lori Bettison-Varga responded in a statement, explaining that she felt sexual assault was not an ideological topic and that Scripps had chosen not to finalize the speaking agreement with Will after his column "trivialized" these cases (emphasis added): We invited George Will to speak as part of our Elizabeth Hubert Malott Public Affairs Program because he is a prominent conservative commentator, and we believed our community would benefit from the healthy...
Victoria Toensing
The right-wing's Benghazi witch hunt is turning its attention to Thomas Pickering, a career diplomat, and retired Adm. Mike Mullen, in a campaign to discredit their non-partisan report on the Benghazi attacks and push for a permanent, partisan investigation -- an investigation Republicans are actively using to raise money and campaign against Democrats.
Veterans Condemn Fox Host Eric Bolling's "Boobs On The Ground" Remark
Military veterans are speaking out against Fox News host Eric Bolling's reference to the first female UAE fighter pilot as "boobs on the ground." Bolling provoked widespread outrage after he responded to news that United Arab Emirates' first female air force pilot was participating in air strikes against Islamic State militants by asking: "Would that be considered boobs on the ground, or no?"

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly is under pressure to apologize for his inflammatory comments on "ghetto neighborhoods" and black culture.

Laura Ingraham's Attacks On Sonia Sotomayor Miss Her All-American Heritage
Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham launched an ignorant smear against Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor, suggesting that she has to choose between her "immigrant family background" or the Constitution. Ingraham's smear is both rooted in the premise that immigrants are separate from mainstream American culture and is completely off the mark given the fact that Sotomayor is an American citizen and the daughter of American citizens.
How Wrong the Right Was on Stop-and-Frisk
Conservative media have spent years pushing misleading claims that the New York City Police Department's intrusive and discriminatory stop-and-frisk policy was crucial to reducing local crime. Over the last year that argument, never credible, has completely unraveled. Policy reforms led to a steep drop in NYPD stops in 2014 (down to a quarter of the 2013 rate), but crime is still falling and murder rates are likely to hit a record low.
