The folks at Fox News knew they had one job last week and that was to coronate Donald J. Trump while trashing his opponent Vice President Kamala Harris. If this meant calling him the king garbage, then so be it. The overpaid histrionic propagandists ramped up the crazy. Jesse Watters said a number of horrible things about women. Laura Ingraham claimed Trump’s neon safety vest will end up in the Smithsonian.

Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden was a six-hour festival of fascism. I reduced it down to 90 minutes with brief excerpts from every single speech. Trump also included five speakers with a net worth of $500 million or more.

Donald J. Trump was lauded as a political genius for cosplaying as a minimum wage worker at a McDonald’s franchise while The New York Times published an audio interview of Gen. John F. Kelly describing Trump as a fascist and admirer of Hitler. Fox decided to bury the story in a heap of French fries prepared by the same wannabe dictator Kelly was trying to warn the American public about. Everyone clutched their pearls to dust after Kamala Harris called Trump a fascist. Stephen A. Smith verbally mopped the floor with Sean Hannity in an amusing and delightful extended rant.

Last week on Fox News the 2024 election was reduced to a battle to win over one of the smallest voting demographics in the American electorate - Black men a group normally loyal to the Democratic Party. The network also ramped up fear of the emasculating left by pushing stories of trans female athletes and government programs that pay for gender affirming surgeries for prisoners. Kamala Harris was presented as an evil shrew while Tim Walz was an ineffective effeminate even though he’s been a highly successful politician since he flipped a Republican Congressional district blue and rose to the highest office in the state of Minnesota.

Fox News decided to lean into the skid and scare the bejeezus out of its audience with a combination of the longshoreman strike, increased violence in the Middle East and the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Late in the week Donald J. Trump told multiple lies about the federal response to the hurricane that Fox News hosts were happy to amplify. Sean Hannity mentioned lies about FEMA over 50 times in two days. Greg Gutfeld pretended he was an expert on climate change and a Harris supporter snuck into a Breakfast with Friends segment on Fox & Friends.

I start with “The Igraham Angle,” and pull clips from every show until “Fox News at Nigh.” Everyone on Fox was deeply concerned that the moderators fact checked Sen. J.D. Vance. Sean Hannity was obsessed with sexual change surgeries. Dana Perino and Harold Ford Jr. dropped some truth bombs and Jesse Watters focused on masculinity. It was a wild ride of rightwing propaganda.

When Fox News doesn’t like reality it makes up its own. Fox News hosts pretended Kamala Harris was tanking in the polls when she’s actually gaining more ground on Trump. Fox also ignored the easily verifiable timeline associated with the criminal indictment surrounding New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The FBI started investigating Adams two years before the mayor started feuding with President Biden. Fox also gave up an hour of its airtime for Trump to use as a platform for his campaign. Jesse Watters compared Kamala Harris to an actual infant.

Fox made a dramatic pivot from trashing Kamala Harris to promoting Donald J. Trump. The network also obsessively covered the second assassination attempt on the former president. Fox hosts complained about heated rhetoric while ignoring Trump’s inflammatory words. The network also featured a lot of Trump including him on a n episode of “Gutfeld,” and giving away it’s primetime coverage to show a live feed of a Trump rally in Long Island, NY. Laura Ingraham whipped up fear about Haitian immigrants while Lawrence Jones claims there was no racial aspects to their harassment. Fox & Friends tried to make it seem like the recent interest rate cut by the Fed was a bad thing.

Fox News hosts blamed ABC and the moderators for Trump’s disastrous performance in the last presidential debate. Trump called into “Fox & Friends,” and threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcasting license. The cast of The Five melted down two days in a row. Sean Hannity tried to terrify his audience while lying about positive economic data. The network also got major milage out of a comment Sen. Bernie Sanders made on “Meet the Press.”

Plastic straws! Fake accents! Non-existent bans on fracking! A local Fox News affiliate debunked its parent company! Nebraska Walzes for Trump haven’t even met Tim Walz! Fox News hosts pretended Kamala Harris has plummeted in the polls even when she hadn’t. Jesse Watters bragged about sounding like Russian propaganda. Vladimir Putin would be so Proud. Steve Doocy repeats a hateful myth about American Muslims and Pete Hegseth was shocked when an Israeli American said that Israelis want a return of every hostage, and end to the conflict and the end of Benjamin Netanyahu’s failed strategy. I threw in a silly impression at the very end.

Fox News was desperate for some kind of scandal to help boost Trump’s presidential campaign. Fox tried to boost RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Trump, Mark Zuckerberg wrote a letter to Jim Jordan, Kamala Harris had an interview with her running mate, Joe Biden somehow controlled Trump’s DOJ, and finally Kamala Harris stranded astronauts in space. Absolutely nothing stuck but that wasn’t going to stop anyone at Fox from insisting all of these stories were life and death important.

Fox News tried to create a smokescreen of deception to hide the rise of Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president. Fox was outraged by an anti-Christian opening ceremony that wasn’t about Christianity, and a trans athlete who wasn’t trans. Fox also claimed a crowd cheered Trump at a convention for Black journalists when in reality they laughed and jeered at him. Judge Jeanine Pirro claimed white dudes are only supporting Kamala Harris out of white guilty and Dana Perino claimed Democrats are trying to “superglue” Trump to Project 2025.

A fun frolic of Fox News meltdowns! What a glorious week to cover Fox. Fox started the week by playing the music the network normally uses for natural disasters under a news story that Biden was dropping out of the presidential race. Multiple Fox News hosts lost their ever-loving minds over Democrats reaction to Kamala Harris’ decision to run for president. Everyone on Fox seemed to forget the role of a vice president. Jessica Tarlov shared her excitement of millions of Democrats about Kamala Harris. Kellyanne Conway said that Trump never called Hillary Clinton names. Greg Gutfeld made a number of assumption’s about the young man who tried to kill Trump. Brian Kilmeade didn’t even pay attention to his own show.
