Decoding Fox News

Last week on Fox News Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters and other overpaid Fox News personalities proved there is no limit to the depravity and hypocrisy on the Murdoch owned media empire. The network seemed desperate to focus on the Nancy Guthrie abduction rather than talk about anything that might make its glorious leader, an increasingly demented cruel sociopath, look bad. Gutfeld made dismissive jok...

Last week Fox News was desperate to talk about anything, but the latest scandals unearthed in the Epstein files, Trump’s falling poll numbers, Democratic wins in deeply red districts, and the president’s virulently racist social media post that depicted former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes. The network dedicated most of its airtime to the alleged abduction of Nancy Guthrie, the...

As Fox News featured footage of jackbooted masked federal agents terrorizing a Northern Midwestern city the network told its viewers to ignore any reports that showed Americans were unhappy with Trump’s mass deportation efforts. The soccer moms and angel faced five-year-olds fleeing clouds of tear gas in quaint tree-lined residential streets were covert socialist sleeper cells financed by the Chin...

As Donald J. Trump damaged decades-long international relationships in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum, Fox News lauded him as a champion of American strength on the global stage. Trump managed to insult all the former Allied powers in World War II multiple times then also disgraced the sacrifice of hundreds of fallen non-U.S. NATO soldiers who died in Afghanistan after the terroris...

This podcast covers four hours of Fox & Friends Sunday through Hannity on Monday 1/26/26. The network desperately tried to make this look like a huge win for Trump.

Last week while the streets of Minneapolis filled with angry protesters choking on clouds of tear gas and images of ICE agents terrorizing people flooded social media feeds Fox News set its sights on the real danger - radicalized left-wing women. According to the network suburban soccer moms and urban childless cat ladies were pawns for a sophisticated Democratic Party domestic terrorist plot. Nai...

Last Wednesday a 37-year-old mother of three, Renee Good, was shot and killed in her car by an ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A video captured by a bystander of the incident immediately went viral along with footage taken from other angles. Fox News reacted immediately by blaming Democratic lawmakers and the woman herself. The Trump administration also promptly blamed Good an...

Last week Fox News started with lighthearted special episodes dedicated to New Year’s celebrations while the network hammered Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for a fraud scandal in his state. By Friday night Fox made an abrupt pivot to focus all its airtime to Trump’s surprise invasion of Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other su...

wanted to do a quick update on the newsletter I wrote last month “A Thanksgiving Primer to Help You Deal With your Fox Loving Relatives. ” I had to wait until December 18 to get the updated CPI report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The agency delayed it eight days due to the government shutdown. It was also based on a partial gathering of data which is problematic for several reasons. This i...

Last week on Fox News it became more apparent that the MAGA Titanic is gliding straight into an iceberg and the only passengers with lifeboats aren’t even on the ship - they are hovering above it in climate-controlled spacecraft fueled by the cuts to U.S. foreign aid meant for starving children. Meanwhile their glorious leader tells them that the impending disaster is a Democratic hoax designed by...

Last week the microscopic cracks of doubt in the Trump administration evolved into deep fissures on Fox News. Several on-air personalities openly plead with their glorious leader that he needed to change his messaging on the affordability crisis quickly or the country could be headed for a blue wave tsunami. Just a year ago these same overpaid mouthpieces of the Trump propaganda machine celebrated...

The folks at Fox News thought they were going to have an easy time with holiday programming last week with stories about pajama wearing travelers, Thanksgiving leftover tips and pre-taped shows filled with recycled segments. In between the holiday fluff the network put most of its focus on segments bashing Democrats, worshiping President Trump and what it called the “Seditious Six.” By mid-day Wed...

Last week Fox News hosts twisted themselves into knots to justify Trump’s conflicting actions and statements regarding the Epstein files, New York City’s mayor-elect, and the affordability crisis. No one at the network seemed the least bit concerned that Trump gave the Saudi crown prince a lavish welcome despite his countries relationship with the terrorists who killed nearly 3,000 Americans durin...

For many Americans the winter holidays can be a treacherous field of emotional land mines triggered by family members who want to lecture them about politics. Say one wrong word and a loved one who is dedicating their lives to consuming as much Fox News as possible might promote a false story they saw on the Murdoch owned propaganda machine. Facts, hyperlinks to solid primary sources and exhaustiv...

Last week Fox News minimized the blue wave of Democratic wins across the country to a ripple of stale water in a plastic kiddie pool. According to the folks at Fox Americans still loved and adored the glorious leader, Democrats were expected to win anyway and the Republican Party ran a bunch of poor candidates. The only thing the network conceded was that Trump could improve his messaging on the e...

The past week on Fox was wonky - the network spent most of its focus praising Trump during his visit to Asia and promoting Turning Point USA, the nonprofit co-created by the late Charlie Kirk. The network also trashed the Democratic Party while it aggressively promoted Republican gubernatorial candidates in Virginia and New Jersey. The only topic worth debunking was the network’s misrepresentation...

Last week Fox News presented the record-breaking No Kings protests as an epic failure filled with deluded geriatric fools, antifascist activists were presented as dangerous terrorists while Trump’s complete destruction of an entire wing of the White House was celebrated. As usual Trump’s failure to seek permission to radically change historic federal property was seen as a sign of strength not a r...

The folks at Fox News started the week by airing live coverage of Trump’s rambling speech at the Israeli Knesset as he celebrated what he claimed would be a lasting peace and transformation of the Middle East. Within 48 hours the network cheered Trump’s plans for regime change in Venezuela that could include a full-scale military invasion. Other major stories last week included fear mongering abou...

The folks at Fox News promoted Donald J. Trump as both an unflinching authoritarian who openly defied state governments and a peacemaker who ended a 3000-year conflict with the snap of his fingers. When their glorious leader did not win the coveted Nobel Peace Prize his servants at Fox News predictably went into a full emotional meltdown meant for an audience of one - the contest was rigged, the j...

Last week the folks on Fox invented a political rivalry, promoted a blatant lie about the U.S. healthcare system and trotted out what looked like a phony Antifa whistleblower. The network also blamed most of the problems in the United States on the most marginalized group in the country - undocumented immigrants. When reality doesn’t line up with the Fox News agenda the network creates its own dys...

Last week Fox News had three stories to tell - former FBI director James Comey would finally face justice for a crime the network couldn’t explain; Donald J. Trump was nearly murdered by a malfunctioning escalator at the U.N. and American cities were being overrun with mobs of blue-haired, transgender, Antifa activists backed by left-wing billionaires. Greg Gutfeld screamed at Jessica Tarlov like...

Last week on Fox News Jesse Watters invited a cavalcade of conspiracy theorists who enthusiastically demonized the transgender community and blamed them for the murder of Charlie Kirk. Never mind that the suspect in Kirk’s murder, Tyler Robinson, is a cis-gender young man who was raised in a deeply religious and politically conservative gun-loving family. So far there is no evidence that Robinson...
