The team behind SweetJesusIHateBillOReilly is hard at work on a book about the No-Spin Zone chieftain's home network. Nation Books will publish Fair and Balanced, My Ass: An Unbridled Look at the Bizarre Reality of Fox News, next spring.

"They're using patriotism and religion as a weapon in a way the media has never done before. It's not about being conservative.
