glad everyone is seeing what an idiotic person Greg Kelly is, but he is also violently racist and sexist, and has spread countless lies about the election — and he deserves to be held accountable for that shit too
the network of "law and order" and "crime crisis" is telling you the media is overreacting to an attempted murder on the speaker of the house's husband
After airing an interview in which Donald Trump denied he lost the 2020 election, Newsmax's Eric Bolling reads a statement from the network:
"Now just a note. Newsmax has accepted the election results as legal and final"
On Monday, Jesse Watters began his show by questioning the "alleged child rape" of a 10 yo in Ohio. He then hosted a conservative blogger and OH's attorney general to cast doubt on the case. An arrest was made this afternoon.
This is how Watters began his show today.
After Jessica Tarlov notes Rep. Jason Smith's and Republicans' embarrassing lack of evidence for Joe Biden's impeachment, her Five co-host Greg Gutfeld cuts her off
an NBC reporter pressed Rep. Jason Smith about the fact that some of his Biden allegations pertain to a period of time when Biden wasn't in office or a candidate for one. Smith had no answer, saying "I'm not an expert on the timeline," then got snappy with the reporter & moved on
*three hours earlier*
Fox's Dana Perino: "Short of the nuclear codes being written on these documents locked behind closed doors, I just really don't understand how a document could warrant this kind of warrant."
On Fox News: Capitol mob believe this is different form BLM protests "because aside from some of the things that were broken getting into the Capitol and disregarding the reports of the woman who was shot ... there is no vandalism taking place. This is people sending a message"
Fox's Jesse Watters reacts to Donald Trump's indictment: "The country's not going to stand for it. And people better be careful, and that's all I'll say about that."
When I think of Jesse Watters, I think of the time he spent a week incessantly lying about the rape of a 10-year-old, and then when his misinformation was exposed, patted himself on the back
Newsmax cuts coverage from Biden's speech because the president wasn't giving "American resolve" and Biden "started to go into some victory laps on his policy"
Happy birthday to everyone’s favorite Tucker Carlson expert, the hot blonde media matters lady

To me, she’s a tea queen, intelligent coworker, and fierce friend.
Tulsi Gabbard likens the Democratic Party to Nazis
Gabbard: "They're proud to be judging people, hiring people, selecting people based on race ... These are the very same geneticist core principles embodied by Naziism and Adolf Hitler"
Sean Hannity endorses Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's call for banning “people who move from blue states to red states from voting for five years”
Hannity: “I actually favor that idea”
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is a co-host's on Fox's wildly popular the Five (presumably to spread lies about the Inflation Reduction Act).
Imagine what Fox would do if any Dem spent a night co-hosting with Anderson Cooper or Joy Reid.
The scariest thing about working on this piece was the amount of elected GOP officials spewing the same rhetoric -- this isn't fringe white supremacy/Fox News nonsense, it's the mainstream Republican party
Today, the House January 6 committee made four criminal referrals to the Justice Department for Trump regarding his responsibility for the insurrection on January 6.
The Five -- Fox's highest rated show, beating out Tucker Carlson -- spent their A block on Christmas cookies.
Barstool exists to use sports as a pretense to position casual misogyny and harassment as the self preservation standard for masculinity — the question is whether the mlb will choose to normalize (and contribute to) their rhetoric
Tucker Carlson doubles down on classifying NPR as state media: "Of course NPR is state media ... It has all the hallmarks, repetitive dishonesty, authoritarian politics, unwavering devotion to the party in charge"
Heinrich’s fact-check directly undermines Tucker Carlson. (The Dominion filings revealed Carlson had previously tried to fire Heinrich for fact-checking Sean Hannity)
On March 23, Carlson described NPR as “state radio, state media, controlled by the Biden administration”
Baier's sign off of his nightly Special Report is "fair, balanced, and unafraid." Time and time again, he proves he lacks the journalistic and ethical principles to live up to those standards
After Fox called Arizona for Biden, top anchor Bret Baier emailed network president Jay Wallace that "The Trump campaign was really pissed" and "The sooner we pull it ... and we put it back in his column the better we are in my opinion," per a new book.
On his primetime show that last two nights, Sean Hannity failed to mention the tragic high school shooting in Oxford, Michigan that left four students dead
Tonight, he found time to lecture Alec Baldwin on gun safety
Newsmax host claims the Murdochs are members of the "new world order globalists" carrying out a "kill list" of conservative voices -- Tucker Carlson, Dan Bongino, and Lou Dobbs

Fox News is taking legal action to keep one of its top booking producers silent amid the ongoing Dominion lawsuit.
Per Fox, Abby Grossberg is threatening to sue them for discrimination.

He’s different than Tucker b/c Watters doesn’t possess the intelligence to decide which lies are worth passing to his audience
He spreads whatever generates outrage in the moment, dismisses the consequences, and his ego (and wallet) profit from the lies. And that is dangerous
On "straight news" Special Report, Ben Domenech claimed that there are no right wing "hucksters" driving vaccine hesitancy
He should turn on his own network from 8-11 where Tucker is telling his audience the vax might kill them and Laura is doubting the need for the vax at all

and i put together a list of over 200 things fox news has called "woke"
Donald Trump reacts to Tucker Carlson's sudden departure from Fox News: "I'm shocked, I'm surprised. He's a very good person ... Especially over the last year or so, he's been terrific to me."
After publicly doubting the case on Monday, Fox's Jesse Watters credits his show for aiding in the case: "Primetime covered this story heavily on Monday, put on the pressure and now we are glad that justice is being served"
On Monday, Jesse Watters began his show by questioning the "alleged child rape" of a 10 yo in Ohio. He then hosted a conservative blogger and OH's attorney general to cast doubt on the case. An arrest was made this afternoon.
This is how Watters began his show today.
While the Dominion filing redacts the name, it's easy to assign the identity to Bret Baier
1) The two other individuals in the group text are named and one asks Baier a question by name
2) Only Bret could cheer himself up after a "shitty AZ call" with thoughts of the Masters
Earlier today, "straight news" Bret Baier read a Fox poll that said Americans don't want to get the vaccine because they think the process was rushed
Baier failed to mention the passionate (and unhinged?) anti-science tirades his colleague gives viewers on a near nightly basis
Tucker Carlson: "Masks have always been incompatible with a free society ... Masks are for the guilty. They're signifiers of shame and submission."
??? This is absolutely deranged
Fox News' "straight news" anchor Bret Baier likes a tweet (from a former OANN host) where RFK Jr. accuses Dr. Fauci of "homicide" by offering Remdesivir as a COVID treatment
Update: 45 minutes into his show, Watters hosted Trace Gallagher to report the arrest, emphasizing that the man was in the country illegally and the 10 year old could have received an abortion in Ohio
Jesse then took credit for aiding in the arrest: "Primetime covered this story heavily on Monday, put on the pressure and now we are glad that justice is being served"
Fox's Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld admit they didn't review "the readout" from Biden's meeting with China today after co-host Jessica Tarlov tells them China is not in favor of war with Ukraine
Watters: "He said that?"
Gutfeld: "I should've read this"
