Megyn Kelly isn't the only person upset at her Fox News colleagues.

Last week, Lou Dobbs, Erick Erickson, and Juan Williams lamented a study that showed a growing number of women are the primary breadwinners in their households, with the three men pretty much predicting the end of the world as a result of these findings.

Kelly let her co-workers have it the next day - and now UltraViolet (an online community that advocates for women's equality) has released an ad that calls for the reporters to be fired.

Watch it now and then respond below:

Ad Calls for Fox News Contributor Firings

Should Fox News "retire" Lou Dobbs, Erick Erickson, and Juan Williams?

Megyn Kelly has joined her Fox News colleague in calling out two other Fox News colleagues.

Earlier this week, Lou Dobbs and Erick Erickson reacted in horror to a Pew survey that reported how prominent a role female breadwinners are playing in the country these days.

Erickson argued that the results are "anti-science" and that the male ought to play the "dominant role" in a family... while "having moms as the primary breadwinner is bad for kids and bad for marriage."

Following Greta Van Susteren's Tweeting shock and outrage over such comments, Megyn Kelly invited Dobbs and Erickson on her show today - and let them have it!

Safe to say the following exchange is a TKO, don't you think?

Megyn Kelly Slams Erick Erickson and Lou Dobbs

Where do you stand? Are an abundance of female breadwinners bad for the country?

According to a just-released Pew study, women are now the primary breadwinners in 40% of households around the country.

And on Wednesday's edition of Lou Dobbs Tonight, a panel of men sat around and expressed both astonishment and disdain over this figure.

Juan Williams said something has "going terribly wrong in American society" for this to be the case "and it's hurting our children, and it's going to have impact for generations to come."

Donald Trump in 2016? Maybe.

Michele Bachmann in 2014? Definitely not.

The Minnesota Congresswoman and former President candidate made it official in a video announcement this morning: she will not be seeking a fifth term in office.

Michele Bachmann Retirement Speech

"The law limits anyone from serving as president of the United States for more than eight years, and in my opinion, well, eight years is also long enough for an individual to serve as a representative for a specific Congressional district," Bachmann said.

Move over, Hillary Clinton and Chris Christie. And make room for - GULP! - The Donald.

The New York Post reports that Donald Trump has spent over $1 million on exploratory research to determine whether he ought to run for President of the United States in 2016.

The Celebrity Apprentice host has been speaking at various Republican events over the last few weeks, trying to combine modesty with his trademark hubris.

“Everybody tells me, ‘Please run for president. Please run for president," he said last week in front of 2,300 supporters in Michigan, adding:

"I’d be happy if President Obama did a great job. I’m a Republican, but before anything, I love this country. I would love to see somebody come in who is going to be great.”

Andrea Tantaros is fed up with the Barack Obama administration and anyone that allowed it to rise to power.

On her Fox News radio show Thursday, the host went off on the Justice Department for tapping the phones and hacked the emails of reporter James Rosen.

This confirmation comes amidst an ongoing scandal in which the same department also obtained the phone records of several Associated Press members.

"This is what's happening to our press," Tantaros said on air. "This is Obama's America. It's like the Soviet Union. He said he would change the country. He said it ... and a lot of people voted for him. And if you see any of those people today, do me a favor and punch them in the face."

Listen to Tantaros' diatribe below:

Andrea Tantaros Tells Listeners to Punch Obama Voters

Justin Bieber is featured on a billboard in Los Angeles.

For a local tattoo parlor? For a new album? For the Chris Brown Fan Club?

Nope. For MinimumWage.com, an organization that believes a raise in the minimum wage will discourage business owners from hiring, which will negatively affect the unemployment rate among today's youth.

Reads the sign:

"Why is Justin Bieber so sad? Could it be because 24% of teens who want a job can't find one?"

We're guessing it's because Selena Gomez has left him lost and alone, but hey.

The ad then states that "teen unemployment makes us all sad" and that "raising the minimum wage will only make things worse."

It's unclear whether or not Bieber approved of his visage being used in such a manner, but we strongly doubt it.

After a speech that saw a surprised President Obama heckled by an anti-war, anti-drone, and anti-Gitmo activist, the Internet was the big winner.

As Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin interrupted and harassed the POTUS during his speech on Thursday, Obama repeatedly told her:

"Let me address it!"

She was eventually removed from the room, and Obama went off-script to acknowledge her concerns and even urged people to "cut her some slack."

And that was about it, which means we can move on and laugh at the obligatory auto-tuned musical version of events that someone made online. Enjoy!
