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[...]

Tucker Carlson’s war on M&Ms
“I bet you didn’t think M&M’s were pushing intolerance, but they were!” Tucker Carlson ranted when Mars Inc. changed Green M&M’s boots. He also called Purple M&M “obese.” “M&M’s will not be satisfied until every last cartoon chara[...]
