Last week on Fox News the network took a slight shift away from its aggressive promotion of Elon Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) to focus on a favorite topic - incompetent Democrats. The minority party was everything all at once - too old, young, radical, meek, uptight, woke, sleepy, bombastic, corrupt, backward, ineffective, Machiavellian and shifty. On “The Five,” producers featured two or three segments in a row that basically had the same message - Democrats are terrible. The network even returned to trashing former President Joe Biden. Meanwhile the Trump administration was hit with multiple lawsuits surrounding the DOGE task force This is a public episode.

Last week the folks on Fox continued to elevate Elon Musk as a wildly popular champion of the American people while they pretended proposed $5000 DOGE dividend checks issued to every adult American would not cause inflation. Crime, the economy, transgender athletes, DEI programs, the woke mind virus, border crossings and mass deportations all took a backseat as the network became a DOGE infomercial. Meanwhile in town halls across the country organized by Republican members of congress angry constituents complained bitterly about the reckless unelected billionaire who was destroying jobs and slashing important government programs.

Last week the folks on Fox created fables about Elon Musk the selfless tech warrior who was lowering tax bills for everyday Americans. The network promoted the idea that DOGE was only destroying wasteful woke programs meant to push deranged ideology. Tom Homan basically openly admitted Trump made a deal with Eric Adams to keep him out of prison. It was a celebration of corruption and grift on Fox News. This is a public episode.

Last week the folks at Fox twisted themselves into knots to defend the actions of a maniacal corrupt billionaire hellbent on destroying entire government agencies without congressional oversight. They would never admit that their glorious leader, Donald J. Trump, was just a puppet for Elon Musk, a South African immigrant with extremist political leanings. This is a public episode.

The folks at Fox were quick to repeat and amplify the deranged tirades of our malignant narcissist president who blamed diversity, equity and inclusion programs for the recent catastrophic fatal crash of a military helicopter and commercial airline over the Potomac. When grieving families and shocked Americans needed words of sympathy and reassurance Trump was more than happy to terrify and provoke. At the time of President Trump’s hateful statements authorities didn’t know the identities of anyone involved in the disaster. Trump assumed with no evidence that the crash was the result of a degradation of hiring standards. This is a public episode.

Last week the folks at Fox News treated Donald J. Trump as if he were a supernatural being who came down from heaven on the wings of a bald eagle to vanquish the woke, transgender, cultural Marxist enemies of the United States and lift the nation up to a mythical state of its former glory when robber barons swam through the Panama Canal. There was one topic no one wanted to talk about - Trump’s pardon of January 6th rioters. This is a public episode.

I watched roughly six hours of inauguration coverage on Fox News along with six hours on the PBS News Hour. I pulled quotes from both to show how a garbage propaganda network (Fox News) compared to a high quality nonpartisan news source. Stephanie Sy, of PBS, shares some great insight on Trump supporters. Brit Hume of Fox News created his own reality. PBS included experts and academics while Fox News trotted out its own employees. Fox News looked even more ridiculous than usual.

Last week the folks on Fox were angrier than ever that Joe Biden lasted until the end of his term and that Vice President Kamala Harris declared it was not in her nature to go “quietly into the night.” Fox News personalities claimed that Trump negotiated the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Sean Hannity and others declared that the FDA’s decision to ban a food dye. The network also bolstered Melania Trump’s false claim that the Obama administration impeded her move into the White House during her husband’s first term even though Mrs. Trump lived in Manhattan for the first five months of her husband’s presidency.

Last week on Fox the network used the tragedy of unprecedented wildfires in Southern California as a cudgel to attack Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. In stark contrast the “PBS News Hour” covered the fires as if they were a natural disaster not a failure of leadership. Jesse Watters seems to think he’s the emperor of the universe and Janice Dean, the weather lady on Fox & Friends, went rouge! This is a public episode.

Fox News promoted a false narrative about the terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day. Even after the network issued a retraction hosts and guests alike kept insinuating that immigration played a role in the attack. The decades suspect was an American citizens and Army veteran not a foreign born extremist. I break everything down in a detailed timeline to show exactly how Fox wouldn’t let truth get in the way of its agenda. This is a public episode.

Last week on Fox News the subject of vigilante violence was center focus as the network lionized Daniel Penny, a former Marine who was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide for killing a homeless man, while lambasting the public reaction towards the cold-blooded assassination of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. The folks at Fox also seemed disappointed that Black Lives Matter protesters weren’t rioting across the country over Penny’s acquittal. Sean Hannity and Dr. Drew Pinsky both weaved fairy tales about the healthcare system in the United States while Hannity also obsessed over mysterious drones, Jessica Tarlov schooled her co-hosts on Biden’s economic accomplishments and Tom Homan said he would prosecute governors if they got in the way of his plans for mass deportations.

Last week on Fox the outrage machine was on overdrive as the overpaid stuffed shirts expressed their disgust at President Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter. Judge Jeanine conveniently forgot to mention that Trump pardoned her ex-husband, Steve Doocy and Emily Compagno both declared that the president-elect was already improving the economy and Jesse Watters joked about annexing Canada and Greenland while promoting conspiracy theories about Iran rigging the 2020 election.Jessica Tarlov was the only person on the network that mentioned Donald J. Trump also pardoned a family member. Hunter Biden had fallen off the radar of Fox News but last week it was suddenly the most important topic in the world. This is a public episode.

Last week the folks at Fox demonized Vice President Kamala Harris for raising and spending money, trashed Joe Biden for celebrating Thanksgiving with members of the U.S. Coast Guard and tried to cover up that Trump really was connected to Project 2025. As Trump continued to pick unqualified, radical people with sex scandals for various high-ranking positions in his administration the right-wing propaganda machine tried desperately to distract with segments about Kamala Harris wasting donor money by spending it.

Fox tried to sugarcoat Trump’s many alarming picks for various cabinet positions while Steve Doocy and others openly admitted some of Trump’s plans for mass deportation, shutting down the Department of Education and paying off the national debt with crude oil revenue were unattainable. The Murdoch owned media empire is already lowering its viewers expectations for the next Trump administration. Judge Jeanine Pirro, Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld completely demonized and trashed transgender Americans - portraying them as sexual predators lingering in women’s bathrooms. At the same time, they ignored a lawsuit filed against the company formerly run by Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Education that involved the sexual abuse of minor aged boys.

A profile of the Russia Loving Conspiracy Theorist Whackjob Who Should be Nowhere Near U.S. Intelligence.

According to the folks at Fox News Donald J. Trump’s win is proof that legacy media and identity politics are dead while Americans are disgusted by transgender athletes and woke ideologies promoted by the far left. Greg Gutfeld called for the execution of doctors who perform gender affirming care, Ainsley Earhardt found divine intervention in Trump’s victory and Jesse Watters laughed about mass deportations.
