Decoding Fox News

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...

In this episode I present one of the strangest political manipulations about 9/11 ever recorded. Fox News hosts also didn't seem that impressed the the impeachment inquiry. Tulsi Gabbard was the liberal on The Five except her views are more extreme than nearly anyone on Fox. Brian Kilmeade goes rogue. AOC isn't married - call the police! I do brief impressions of Judge Jeanine Pirro and Tulsi Gabb...

Last week Sean Hannity dedicated an entire pre-taped episode to bashing President Biden. The network also remembered Trump existed and decided recent polling proved he would trounce Biden. No one mentioned Trump's many legal problems though. Curtis Sliwa thinks he's the NYC mayor in exile, the actual mayor Eric Adams had a meltdown on camera that Fox exploited. I imitate Judge Jeanine while sharin...

Last week Fox News wanted to talk about anything but Trump's many legal problems so the network fell back on its usual favorite subjects - Biden bashing, the border crisis and climate change isn't real. Jesse Watters seemed to lose his mind a few times. Greg Gutfeld might be in the hospital? Biden wants to take away your beer! I include a Judge Jeanine impression and some goofiness along with medi...

Last week was a busy one on Fox News. The network hosted its first GOP presidential debate. Trump got booked in Fulton County. His mug shot was plastered all over the network. Several hosts and guests on Fox pushed the idea that every Trump supporter could be the next victim of the Democratic machine. Hunter Biden traveled on Air Force Two but let's not talk about Jared or Ivanka. I do a couple of...

This is a breakdown of every question and some of the craziest answers. The moderators lost control of this one early and the crowd became the biggest character in some ways. There were boos and cheers. Vivek Ramaswamy seemed to fight with everyone. Nikki Haley is the only person who made sense. When asked about UFO's Chris Christie brought up the teachers union. It was a lot of candidates answeri...

In this episode I review parts of the 12 hours of coverage I captured the night of and day after the 4th criminal indictment of Donald J. Trump. I go a bit more in depth into some clips than I did in the Bonus podcast. I also include how Fox News twisted the tragedy of the wildfires in Hawaii to make it into a weapon against Biden and to further discredit the real threats of climate change. The so...

It's always fun to watch folks meltdown on Fox News. The indictment was announced late Monday night so I analyzed Jesse Watters Primetime to Hannity then Fox & Friends, The Five, and the regular primetime lineup on Tuesday. I captured and edited a total of 12 hours for this one. Fox personalities had meltdowns. Mark Levin lost his mind. The main theme - If they can do this to Trump they can do thi...

Fox chose to ignore the Alabama Boat Brawl while showing videos of Black teenagers involved in a chaotic publicity stunt in New York City and an organized robbery in Chicago. The network put a lot of focus on Hunter Biden and the appointment of David Weiss as special counsel. Steve Doocy continues to go rogue on Fox & Friends. I use a few goofy voices and one specifically for my fans in St. Louis,...

In this episode I go over how Fox News is spinning the criminal charges Trump faces in the January 6th investigation. There's a Clutch Your Pearls moment, Jesse Watters and Stephen Miller have a meltdown. A new conspiracy about Obama is included along with clips of Fox hosts begging Trump to be a part of the Fox News Republican presidential debate. I included a brief impression of Kari Lake by req...

This bonus episode is a breakdown of Fox News hosts freaking out about the third criminal indictment of Donald J. Trump. Jesse Watters has what seem like a series of breakdowns, Jessica Tarlov manages to get some good points out while being shouted over. Laura Ingraham is the most worked up I've seen her in ages. Stephen Miller appeared to be near his breaking point. It's a fun little journey down...

This episode deals with some darker themes of slavery and the Holocaust. It's not as lighthearted as most of my episodes. I do include a bit about cocaine sharks though. Something went wrong with the original file so this is my second attempt at uploading this. Sorry for any double posts. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes...

Fox News spent an inordinate amount of time on a Country music story. The network was still obsessed with Hunter Biden and a small bag of cocaine that was found in the White House. While the rest of the world burned Fox didn't even really mention the climate crisis. I briefly sing in this...no joke...and I do my usual goofy voices. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other...

Biden battled with a beach chair! According to Fox News several big Democratic donors want to replace Biden as their party's nominee. Fox didn't offer any evidence for this but they insisted it was true. The cocaine story won't die. Climate change isn't happening and the King of England was horribly snubbed even though he wasn't. Chris Christie rips into Trump. Clutch Your Pearls is back! I imitat...

This episode is a bit of a sampler as Fox was a bit all over the place last week. Hunter Biden was the main story again. The various SCOTUS rulings were explored with Judge Jeanine Pirro pretty much voicing how most conservatives view affirmative action. I do a number of impressions in this one. I also introduce the first double bogus expert in the history of Fox News! This is a public episode. If...

In this episode I explore how Fox News is fully committed to every possible scandal involving Hunter Biden. It is the never-ending story for Fox, the "But her emails 2.0." Some the network's hosts actually contradict their own propaganda. Rachel Campos-Duffy thought there was too much evidence against him. I also mock Jesse Watters for not realizing that Florida has a homeless problem. I do few br...

This episode is dedicated to how Fox News avoided covering the Wager Group rebellion in Russia. Fox News was determined to report on Hunter Biden even when Russia might have been on the brink of a civil war, a coup or at least a violent clash between two armies. I make fun of Donald Trump Jr. and his illustrious fiancee. Rachel Campos-Duffy brings the crazy as she claims that NATO paid the Wagner...
