Trump refuses to clarify voting remark

Here’s what Trump told a Christian group on Friday, July 26, 2024, during an hour-long campaign speech: “We have to win this election, most important election ever. We want a landslide that’s too big to rig. If you want to save America, get your friends, get your family, get everyone y[...]

Fox is already inciting election violence

Fox’s talking heads are already inciting election violence. They must want another Jan. 6, 2021. “Twice last week,” MSNBC reported here, Greg Gutfeld (photo, left) told Fox audiences “the public will only believe the 2024 results are legitimate if President Joe Biden loses.” Also las[...]

Fox News has a rogue employee

It seems this screenshot was unauthorized. “Fox News on Wednesday acknowledged that an onscreen banner calling President Joe Biden a ‘wannabe dictator’ was inappropriate and said it had taken steps to address the situation internally,” CNN said on June 14, 2023 (read story he[...]

Trump election lawyer censured

Colorado lawyer Jenna Ellis was a member of the “elite strike force team” of lawyers led by Rudy Giuliani (details here) that tried to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss with dodgy legal tactics. In her home state, Ellis was accused of violating professional ethics by participatin[...]

Fox News is in serious hot water

Millions of Americans watch only Fox News, and don’t get news from any other source, which is a great big problem. It’s a great big problem because Fox is propaganda, not news. It’s brainwashing, not informing, its audiences. Its top opinion-shaper, Tucker Carlson, is a Russia symp[...]

How stupid is Fox News?

“Fox News host Harris Faulkner accused President Joe Biden of threatening a border official by merely clearing his throat” (see story here, watch video below). Look, Fox News isn’t journalism, it’s entertainment catering to people who attend Trump rallies and make down paymen[...]

If the GOP establishment turns against Trump, does it matter?

Last week, as widely reported (e.g. here), Trump advocated “terminating all rules and laws, even those in the Constitution just to make him president after losing in 2020.” It lit a media fire, but I’m convinced this isn’t anything new, and pundits are reading more into it t[...]

Will Trump’s constitution remark be his “Dean scream”?

It probably was as offhand a remark as he’ll ever make, but when Trump screeched about reinstating his presidency by suspending the Constitution, he ignited a forest fire. Alice Stewart, a conservative commentator and former GOP staffer, sneered, “I hate to inform [him], the Constitution[...]

Why are Fox hosts so screwed up?

Lisa Booth (bio here) had a good upbringing, so don’t blame her parents for her ending up at Fox News. Booth, a Republican staffer and campaign operative before landing at Fox, is an anti-vaxxer. She ranted on air that the U.S. isn’t better than China about “taking away the freedom[...]

Fox and GOP stoke anti-LGBQT hate

A day after the mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Fox superstar Tucker Carlson and Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis were busy inciting more gratuitous violence against LGBQT people. This is America, land of free speech, and they can do that, up to a point. Cross a line and you can be sued, as [&h[...]
