The Pushback On Mueller Began A Week Before The Indictments
Fox News really is now the Trump network. It is not even the GOP network. Just Trump. They have been questioning Mueller’s credibility.

We analyzed the past week of Fox News transcripts, measuring … Read More
Trevor Noah Blasts Fox News On Shooting Coverage
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.

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
