Last week on Fox News the network overhyped an Instagram post of seashells by the seashore, downplayed a flagrant violation of the emoluments clause while barely mentioning that a major a financial services company downgraded the credit rating for the United States.
The network also spent an inordinate amount of time trashing the Democratic Party while promoting the idea of a vast conspiracy to cover up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his presidency.
Sean Hannity and Jesse Watters staunchly defended the president’s plans to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari government even while their co-hosts and Republican elected officials expressed their doubts.

Last week on Fox News the network shifted its focus as quickly as its glorious leader came up with another incredibly stupid idea. While President Trump openly questioned if he should negate the U.S. Constitution on “Meet the Press” with Kristen Welker the folks at Fox News were more worked up about his plans to transform a crumbling national landmark into a state-of-the-art maximum security prison.
Since Trump seemed obsessed with resurrecting the notorious Alcatraz prison while being flippant about the due process rights of millions of Americans and noncitizens I couldn’t help but think that he might be the first longterm guest at the island ruin.
Laura Ingraham claimed she could translate Trump’s incoherent ramblings about negating due process for non-citizens in criminal and immigration courts.
Brian Kilmeade complained that too many people were using Medicaid, the entire cast of “The Five” suddenly became experts in the nation’s air traffic control system while White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller decided he was a structural engineer.

Last week on Fox News the network celebrated the first 100 days of Trump’s second term in office with a live studio audience on “Fox & Friends” that featured surprise appearances by popular Fox News personalities, a mentalist, a comedian and free copies of Dana Perino’s latest advice book.
The network buried its recent poll that showed Trump’s approval rating falling with voters on nearly every major issue. Sean Hannity declared with no evidence that every negative poll about Trump was fake news designed to harm his many ambitious plans to make American great again. He also openly thanked his audience for voting for Trump.

Last week as Americans grew increasingly worried about Trump’s chaotic trade deals Fox News distracted its audience with stories about dark woke Democrats, a renegade dog-walking Tesla vandal, the negative qualities of Pope Francis, the short-comings of due process and the never-ending deep state persecution of Pete Hegseth. The segments that got the most airtime on the network focused on problems within the Democratic Party. When Fox can’t promote anything positive about the Trump administration it falls back on one of its favorite topics - Democrats are terrible.

The United States has reached a constitutional crisis that could damage or destroy our democracy for years to come. Fox News made the choice to cheerlead for the erosion of the rule of law by conflating Ábrego García’s case with a violent rape and murder even though Ábrego García has never been convicted of any crime. Trump even discussed sending “home grown criminals” or U.S. citizens, to the same draconian prison that some have compared to Nazi concentration camps.

Last week on Fox News every talking head was dedicated to distracting its viewers from the catastrophe of Trump’s chaotic tariff policies. Sean Hannity dedicated an entire episode to radical Democrats, Jesse Watters decided that men with office jobs turn into women, Judge Jeanine Pirro was screaming about the lack of Cadillacs in Europe while Jessica Tarlov and occasionally Steve Doocy were sending off distress signals. The same network that claimed Biden’s economy was destroying the country downplayed the threat of a full-blown depression due to a madman’s half-baked ideas on global trade. Fox told its audience that Americans were too dependent on cheap stuff in an economy that is driven by consumer spending.

Last week, as trillions of dollars of value were lost on the stock market and other global trading markets, Fox News hosts promoted the idea of a bipartisan Senate and House investigation into Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his presidency. They couldn’t have come up with a worse solution for improving investors’ confidence in the U.S. economy than a never-ending inquiry of a former president. Perhaps Rep. James Comey and Rep. Jim Jordan could start a publicly traded company called “Wager the Waste of Time,” where people could place bets on the least damning evidence, the craziest witnesses and the number of nude photos of Hunter Biden displayed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in any given hearing.

Last week Fox News revived its hatred of the network’s favorite Democratic villainess to distract its viewers from Signalgate - the messy and embarrassing scandal involving top military and intelligence government officials discussing an airstrike in Yemen on their personal phones with a reporter privy to their every word. Hillary Clinton - the ultimate liberal, corrupt, establishment, progressive, uppity, corporatist, doormat wife, scheming Machiavellian, crusher of souls, and wannabe dictator was brought up 18 times last week even though she hasn’t held a position in the United States government since 2013.

Last week on Fox several guests and a few hosts openly debunked lies the network was trying to promote. It was a festival of guests and Fox News employees accidentally going rogue as they didn’t follow the Fox News narrative. Something wonky happened in the propaganda matrix. Even Fox News hosts inadvertently undermined their own talking points. Were the astronauts really stranded in space? Was domestic terrorism a serious crime or just a protest that got out of hand? Does a Tesla automobile have more value than a United States Capitol Police officer?

On Monday Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, published a story about how he was accidentally invited into a group chat on Signal where top defense and intelligence officials planned a military strike on Yemen. Fox tried to ignore the story then had a complete meltdown over it. The Trump administration hit its first iceberg of sorts but luckily this time no one went down with the ship. This podcast covers how the most popular shows on Fox News covered the fiasco on Monday and Tuesday.

Last week as the stock market tanked, the delicate truce between Israel and Hamas faltered, Russian drones pummeled Ukrainian cities, and another commercial airplane burst into flames Fox News wanted its viewers to take pity on the richest man in the world. On Fox Elon Musk was portrayed as a selfless man dedicated to helping his adopted country pull itself out of a death spiral of debt and bloated government waste. Vicious investors were dumping stock of his precious electric vehicle company Tesla while blue-haired transgender activists set fire to EV charging stations and defenseless Cybertrucks.

As the stock market tumbled and Trump’s approval ratings continued to drop the folks on Fox cherry-picked biased polls, mislead their viewers about tariffs, repeated the president’s lies about immigration and demonized Democrats.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
