Decoding Fox News

In this episode I present one of the strangest political manipulations about 9/11 ever recorded. Fox News hosts also didn't seem that impressed the the impeachment inquiry. Tulsi Gabbard was the liberal on The Five except her views are more extreme than nearly anyone on Fox. Brian Kilmeade goes rogue. AOC isn't married - call the police! I do brief impressions of Judge Jeanine Pirro and Tulsi Gabbard. This is a public episode.

Last week Sean Hannity dedicated an entire pre-taped episode to bashing President Biden. The network also remembered Trump existed and decided recent polling proved he would trounce Biden. No one mentioned Trump's many legal problems though. Curtis Sliwa thinks he's the NYC mayor in exile, the actual mayor Eric Adams had a meltdown on camera that Fox exploited. I imitate Judge Jeanine while sharing a few stories about New York. This is a public episode.

Last week Fox News wanted to talk about anything but Trump's many legal problems so the network fell back on its usual favorite subjects - Biden bashing, the border crisis and climate change isn't real. Jesse Watters seemed to lose his mind a few times. Greg Gutfeld might be in the hospital? Biden wants to take away your beer! I include a Judge Jeanine impression and some goofiness along with media clips from Fox. This is a public episode.

Last week was a busy one on Fox News. The network hosted its first GOP presidential debate. Trump got booked in Fulton County. His mug shot was plastered all over the network. Several hosts and guests on Fox pushed the idea that every Trump supporter could be the next victim of the Democratic machine. Hunter Biden traveled on Air Force Two but let's not talk about Jared or Ivanka. I do a couple of silly voices at the very end. There's also a Clutch Your Pearls moment. This is a public episode.

This is a breakdown of every question and some of the craziest answers. The moderators lost control of this one early and the crowd became the biggest character in some ways. There were boos and cheers. Vivek Ramaswamy seemed to fight with everyone. Nikki Haley is the only person who made sense. When asked about UFO's Chris Christie brought up the teachers union. It was a lot of candidates answering questions with canned answers that had nothing to do with the questions asked. Trump loomed large over the entire event. This is a public episode.

In this episode I review parts of the 12 hours of coverage I captured the night of and day after the 4th criminal indictment of Donald J. Trump. I go a bit more in depth into some clips than I did in the Bonus podcast. I also include how Fox News twisted the tragedy of the wildfires in Hawaii to make it into a weapon against Biden and to further discredit the real threats of climate change. The song "Rich Man North of Richmond" was surprisingly in the top five categories for the week and I do a few impressions including Kari Lake and a brand new one! This is a public episode.

It's always fun to watch folks meltdown on Fox News. The indictment was announced late Monday night so I analyzed Jesse Watters Primetime to Hannity then Fox & Friends, The Five, and the regular primetime lineup on Tuesday. I captured and edited a total of 12 hours for this one. Fox personalities had meltdowns. Mark Levin lost his mind. The main theme - If they can do this to Trump they can do this to anyone. A bunch of folks acted like they invented the term - Lawfare. This is a public episode.

Fox News spent an inordinate amount of time on a Country music story. The network was still obsessed with Hunter Biden and a small bag of cocaine that was found in the White House. While the rest of the world burned Fox didn't even really mention the climate crisis. I briefly sing in this...no joke...and I do my usual goofy voices. This is a public episode.

In this episode I explore how Fox News is fully committed to every possible scandal involving Hunter Biden. It is the never-ending story for Fox, the "But her emails 2.0." Some the network's hosts actually contradict their own propaganda. Rachel Campos-Duffy thought there was too much evidence against him. I also mock Jesse Watters for not realizing that Florida has a homeless problem. I do few brief impressions in this one a couple show up right at the end. This is a public episode.

This episode is dedicated to how Fox News avoided covering the Wager Group rebellion in Russia. Fox News was determined to report on Hunter Biden even when Russia might have been on the brink of a civil war, a coup or at least a violent clash between two armies. I make fun of Donald Trump Jr. and his illustrious fiancee. Rachel Campos-Duffy brings the crazy as she claims that NATO paid the Wagner group while K.T. McFarland implies it could have been a red flag while also agreeing with Campos-Duffy?!?! This is a public episode.
