  • Fareed Zakaria compares Fareed Zakaria (one of our favorite CNN analysts, BTW), compares Iran to the fall of Communism in Europe, and says it’s unlikely Iran will fall the same way. He sides with Obama.

  • Fox News disagrees Fox News brought on analyst Dr. Walid Phares for “Fox and Friends” to debate whether the U.S. should intervene in Iran. His answer? Yeah, Obama needs to stop being timid.

Politics: Shepard Smith has another one of his amazing moments of levity

  • In response to the Holocaust shooting yesterday, Smith went on a tirade against right-wing extremism, claiming it’s ticked up since President Obama took office. He has these moments once a year or so where he gives us straight talk, and we wait patiently for them. Because they rock. (Though some conservatives no likey.)source

Music, Politics: This new TV news + music collabo is pretty F&%*ed Up

  • Fox goes hardcore The conservative-leaning news network’s late-night show “Red Eye” has a new regular contributor, and he’s the lead screamer of one of our favorite hardcore bands, Toronto’s F&%*ed Up. The manic Pink Eyes (a.k.a. Damian Abraham) got the gig after ballsily calling out the show’s host, Greg Gutfield, on comments he made regarding the Canadian military. Gutfield, BTW, is a fan. source

  • What Pink Eyes thinks Abraham, who’s known for doing such awesomely insane things as drawing his own blood at shows, is just as surprised as anybody. “It’s one of those things where do you take this ridiculous opportunity as it’s presented to you, or do you avoid it and just continue on with your life?” he said of the surreal gig. “That’s sort of the internal struggle I’m dealing with.” source

Culture: Famous last words for Fox News movie scribe Roger Friedman

  • It took really less than seconds to start playing it all right onto my computer.
  • Roger Friedman • Fox News entertainment columnist, in a mini-review of the leaked version of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” the film being released by 20th Century Fox. Uber-boss Rupert Murdoch saw the review, apparently was livid and Fox News promptly fired Friedman. Good job, goober. • source

Culture, Politics: Bill O’Reilly didn’t see “Milk” because of Sean Penn. His loss.

  • He’s a great actor, and if you hire him, you’ll get a good performance. I’m just not going to give a guy who gives aid and comfort to people like Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez and Saddam Hussein, when he was alive, my 10 bucks. That’s my right as an American.
  • Bill O’Reilly • Who’s “a big movie guy” but will not spend money to see Sean Penn in a movie. We hope he changes his mind, because we think an upcoming flick of his might be right up his alley. • source
