Decoding Fox News

Multiple Fox News hosts dance with defamation. The cast of The Five makes U.S. military strikes in Iran all about Donald J. Trump. The border crisis is pumped up to epic proportions. Laura Ingraham blames Biden for the military recruitment problem that's existed since 2014. There's a whole lotta nonsense from Fox. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or ge...

I went back through two years worth of clips and segments about Nikki Haley on Fox News to see exactly WHEN the network decided she shouldn't be the Republican nominee. Fox News personalities turned on Nikki Haley almost immediately after she announced her campaign. It only got worse as Haley rose in the polls. I provide receipts! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other...

Brit Hume is the surprising star of this episode as he was critical of Trump and the Republican Party during the New Hampshire primary coverage. The cast of The Five tore into Nikki Haley before voting was finished in the Granite State. Kellyanne Conway clutched her pearls and a diner guest went rogue. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to...

Fox News hosts freaked out over various scandals that weren't scandals. The network has now gone all in for Trump and basically become part of his campaign. Everyone love paper ballots. Low education voters LOVE Trump. Judge Jeanine criticized Madonna for having too much plastic surgery - no really. The next 11 months will be a bumpy ride. I make fun of Fox News a lot in this one. This is a public...

Fox News tried desperately to make the Iowa caucus exciting even though the AP called it 1.5 hours before the Fox News election night special started. The network trotted out any number of guests who threw DeSantis and Haley under the bus. Ramaswamy was forgotten almost immediately. I included some clips from the PBS NewsHour for contrast. We are in for a wild ride for election season. Decoding Fo...

It was a wild week on Fox. Laura Ingraham implied DEI policies will kill you. Jesse Watters said he thought Taylor Swift might be a PSYOP working for the Pentagon. Hunter Biden crashed a Congressional hearing. Fox hosted three town hall for presidential candidates. Jesse Watters told everyone what we already know. I did a couple of goofy impressions of Ramaswamy and Judge Jeanine. This is a public...

Fox ignore the Israel-Hamas war last week and barely mentioned the war in Ukraine. Fox News hosts kept insisting they had damning evidence against Joe Biden when they really have nothing. James Comer is terrified of Steve Doocy. Kellyanne Conway fought with Jessica Tarlov. A tap dance routine at the White House freaked everyone out. I do a brief impression of Melania Trump who is best know for her...

Sean Hannity offered up a heavily edited praise festival of Donald J. Trump with a live audience that was supposed to be a town hall but wasn't. Fox News openly mocked News Nation but remained obsessed with the 4th GOP Debate. Ingraham trashed Haley. Doocy trashed Ramaswamy. Chris Christie bashed Trump and everyone forgot about Ron DeSantis. Ingraham mocked fears of Trump's dreams of a dictatorshi...

For this episode I have a lot of fun with the DeSantis/Newsom debate on Hannity. DeSantis got a shellacking. Sean Hannity's questions were mini-speeches. Henry Kissinger was the likable war crimina/womanizerl who loved soap on a rope. Judge Jeanine doesn't seem to know what an ICBM is but she's sure Iran hit Iraq with one. Jessica Tarlov rips on Bibi Netanyahu. It's regular laugh riot. This is a p...

On Wednesday Nov. 22 Fox News called a car accident a terrorist attack for about 3.5 hours. They even implied it was carried out by a radical Islamic group as part of a jihad in response to the Israel-Hamas war. None of this was accurate. I went through six hours of Fox News programming to break down the entire fiasco. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers...

It was Thanksgiving week. Judge Jeanine Pirro made a horrible comment about Native Americans, Jesse Watters promoted a conspiracy theory about George Floyd, The cast of Fox & Friends was outraged that the Biden campaign would produce a Thanksgiving Guide for MAGA Craziness. Biden blew out 81 candles on a birthday cake and Michael Shellenberger trashed Media Matters. I do a couple quick impressions...

Fox News freaks out about the Asian summit in San Francisco. Laura Ingraham calls a protest at the DNC an insurrection, Judge Jeanine is outraged at the Secret Service, Mike Davis warns of massive riots, TikTok terrorist Stans, I do a couple brief impressions of Judge Jeanine and Kari Lake with a clutch your pearls moment. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscrib...

Sean Hannity and all of his guests had complete meltdowns when it became obvious that the off-year election didn't go the way they thought it would. Stephen Miller yelled about abortion. Kayleigh McEnany listed several suggestions to reduce abortions. Sean Hannity said abortion was being weaponized by Democrats. I also included clips from the day after the election from Fox & Friends and The Five....

This episode starts a bit dark as some segments are about the Israel Hamas war. Jesse Watters says some horrible things about Arab Americans and the Middle East. Fox News misleads its audience about the White House and antisemitism. Later in the podcast I openly make fun of Jesse Watters and his theory on leaf blowers. I use some goofy voices. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss thi...

The week went from nonstop coverage of the war in Israel Hamas to nonstop coverage of the mass shooter at large in Maine. Fox News host unwittingly promoted federal gun control laws, Jesse Watters pretended he knew how to survive in the wilderness. He also said forks don't make people fat. He also proudly announced that he bought a gun which anyone with a brain would realize is a bad idea. The Fiv...

Hannity is overly hawkish for the war in Israel. Jesse Watters is insanely racist towards Palestinians. Judge Jeanine talks about Catholics. Greg Gutfeld has to bring up transgender people. There's also some meltdowns over Jim Jordan and the fact that the GOP can't pick a Speaker of the House. Brian Kilmeade openly makes fun of the Republican Party. They actually had a great expert on who explaine...

Fox News hosts found creative ways to weave in concern for the U.S. southern border, defund the police, cashless bail, transgender panic, sleeper terrorist cells, Black Lives Matter and all things woke. Jesse Watters talked about the war like an 8th grader might, Greg Gutfeld talked about a bunch of nonsense and an Israeli man chewed out Brian Kilmeade over Bibi Netanyahu. I also explore why most...

The week was all over the place with stories of great importance - Kevin McCarthy being ousted as speaker and stories that were based in manufactured outrage - Hillary Clinton said something. Reality hit the network after Hamas invaded Israel and brutally murdered civilians. This podcast includes the horrific attack in Israel along with additional research which is why it's a bit longer than my us...

This is a lighthearted romp through about six hours of Fox News media as both hosts and guests alike have complete meltdowns about the vote to remove Kevin McCarthy. I openly laugh at their pain. I start at "The Five" and cover every show through "Hannity" and picked up an additional hour of "Fox & Friends" from the next morning. There is no accompanying newsletter for this podcast. This is a publ...

An overview of the 2nd GOP debate on Fox. The spiciest moment involved an argument over curtains. Vivek Ramaswamy said a bunch of outrageous things. DeSantis finally seemed to almost grow a spine. Chris Christie tore into Trump several times and everyone yelled at Ramaswamy. The break out star was Ilia Calderón of Univision. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscr...

Jesse Watters doesn't know how time works. He also thinks Cyprus and Chinese diamonds are a big deal but can't back up a single accusation about Hunter Biden. Judge Jeanine wants to lock kids up. Brian Kilmeade doesn't think climate change is a thing. Fox News is populist but scared of unions. Elon Musk is a winner! Doocy compares Hunter Biden to Jared Kushner. There's a short clip of Judge Jeanin...
