Poor Fox News. The Las Vegas Shooter does not fit the mold of a Muslim terrorist, so they are all bumfuzzled trying to politicize the tragedy while telling others not to. Great job at The Daily Show for this:
Meanwhile, At Fox….
Hurricane Harvey fallout is still with us, as the death toll climbs to 37. Mueller seems to be bearing down on Trump, and is coordinating with New York Attorney General Schneiderman’s office. Mueller is running a tight ship, but we learn about subpoenae and testimony already given. A lot of focus on Manafort. So what was going on at Fox News … Read More

Trumpers See Whatever They Want To See In Trump – Exhibit A
“He is unashamed in standing up for increasing an awareness of God in the United States. He recognizes how important that is and that that is a basis of Western civilization.

The Hole Left By Bill O’Reilly Is Filled By Another Skeevy Guy
So with Bill O’Reilly out at Fox News, they’ve done some moving around of people, but they still need to promote talent to fill O’Reilly’s absence. That guy is Jesse Watters, an O’Reilly protege of sorts (appearing on O’Reilly regularly). He’s not a pundit — more like Fox’s answer to a political humorist. Except he’s not funny. Kind of a … Read More
The Culture At Fox News
Apparently, someone unearthed an accusation of sexual harassment against Sean Hannity, and the accuser is a right wing pundit Debbie Schlussel, who apparently stands by the story but says it doesn’t rise to the level of sexual harassment, but she may sue Hannity anyway because he insulted her in his denial and….

Nor does it mean it is ready for air on FNC.” John Moody, at the time Fox’s vice president for news, issued that missive after Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve … Read More

It is no surprise to me that Megyn Kelly has decided to leave Fox. It’s not a secret how unhappy she had become at Fox in the wake of her high-profile feud with Donald Trump and revelations she had accused Ailes of sexual harassment. Her relationships with Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity in particular had completely broken down, one Fox host said. … Read More

Trump/Bondi And The Media Double Standard
Here is a timeline of events for your consideration. All of these events took place in 2013: Mid-late August: Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi “personally solicited a political contribution from Donald Trump” “several weeks” before Bondi’s “office publicly announced it was deliberating whether to join a multi-state lawsuit proposed by New York’s Democratic attorney general.” September 10: In an unusual … Read More
