Beck: Progressives Are Like Slave Owners

Plus, Fox News host is now traveling with an armed guard

(NEWSER) - Glenn Beck’s latest metaphor: Progressives are like slave owners. He came up with this one last night while bemoaning the thousands of people in Detroit who lined up to apply for, as he called it, “free government money that we don’t know where it came from,” Gawker reports. He led off his report by explaining that progressives, who are “chipping away at your individual freedoms,” used to be called tyrants. More»

Fox News Takes Heat for Move Toward Center

It's part of Roger Ailes' 'course correction'

(NEWSER) - Is Fox News shifting to the center, relatively speaking? Politico thinks so, tracing it back to a "course correction" ordered by Roger Ailes last fall. He wanted Fox to move away from Tea Party "cheerleading" and to tone down the far-right rhetoric, writes Politico's Keach Hagey. "A casual Fox viewer might barely notice the changes since the network remains critical of the Obama administration and reliably conservative opinion voices, like (Sean) Hannity and Bill O’Reilly, still anchor key spots in the Fox firmament.

Obama Back in Fighting Form

President gets his mojo back: 'LA Times'

(NEWSER) - Barack Obama's staunchest supporters have always wished he'd show a little more passion, a little more chutzpah, a little more swagger. They're getting their wish, the LA Times observes.

"Anybody who calls out Jan Brewer is OK in my book," says MoveOn.org executive director Justin Ruben. More»

Roger Ailes: Beck, Palin Were 'Branding Issue'

Fox News shifts towards center, plays up GOP's 2012 conflict

(NEWSER) - Is Fox News going moderate? Not exactly, but Roger Ailes has consciously made a “course correction” from hyper-partisanship back toward the center, sensing that the public has grown weary of the Tea Party, he tells Howard Kurtz of Newsweek . Glenn Beck’s inflammatory rhetoric in particular “became a bit of a branding issue for us,” he says, as did Sarah Palin's use of her Fox platform to promote herself as a possible GOP savior. More»

Bill Nye Schools Fox News on Climate Change

No, moon volcanoes don't disprove it, he tells anchor

(NEWSER) - Bill Nye the Science Guy is making headlines after a recent Fox News appearance, during which things between him and anchor Jon Scott got a little awkward. Scott and Nye were talking about newly discovered moon volcanoes when Scott asked Nye if those volcanoes challenge climate change science: After all, he noted, "it's not like we've been up there burning fossil fuels." A surprised Nye responded, "Uh, no, volcanoes are not connected to the burning of fossil fuels," Media Matters reports. More»
