The quantity of certified bull… oh, let's just say malarkey, that is spun by Donald Trump continues to flow like an avalanche of asininity. Just this week he has waxed idiotic about the presidential debates, about politicization of the coronavirus, about voting by mail, and too much more to summarize here. Naturally, Trump's Ministry of…

Trump declares Fox News unwatchable
Oh, Fox News, you’ve changed. You are not the network I married. x I am in @AirForceOne_HQ flying to the Great State of Texas. It is AMAZING in watching @FoxNews how different they are from four years ago. Not even watchable. They totally forgot who got them where they are!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July…
FEARFUL TRUMP'S Extremist Attacks Are Escalating and It's Only Going to Get Worse
There is an unmistakable stench of desperation in the White House that is spreading like a virus. Donald Trump may be as delusionally confident as ever on the surface, but his behavior is more reflective of someone consumed by fear and a grossly misperceived sense of victimization. Trump has plenty to be worried about. His…
Studies Prove that Watching FOX News Increases Coronavirus Fatalities
Media scholars and neutral observers almost universally agree that Fox News has been a source of flagrantly biased right-wing propaganda from the day it began broadcasting. It's founders – an arch-conservative, foreign-born, media baron (Rupert Murdoch), and an ultra-rightist Republican campaign operative (Roger Ailes) – intended that political prejudice to be its primary mission when…
New study suggests Hannity's coronavirus coverage made the pandemic worse
Sean Hannity will try to tell you that he took the coronavirus oh-so seriously all along. He recently said he never thought the mounting concern about the novel coronavirus was a hoax. And you know he’s serious by how many veins are visible in his neck and forehead when he proclaims these things. Six veins?…
Bill O'Reilly to Hannity: Many coronavirus victims 'were on their last legs anyway'
So when four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya, following an attack on our embassy, Republicans spent the next four years acting as if the plague had come to America and the Obama administration had callously ignored it while brushing off the deaths as no big deal. Now, after a plague actually has come to America,…
Enjoy this Daily Show supercut of right-wing media figures downplaying the coronavirus
A devastating Washington Post story from this morning details the Trump administration’s myriad failures on the way to thousands of American deaths (and counting). In short, the White House refused to take the coronavirus threat seriously or take appropriate action until it was too late. It’s a must-read, and by all means, go read it. But Trump’s…
Fox reportedly worried about being sued for misleading viewers on coronavirus threat
Remember all those people insisting a few weeks ago that COVID-19 was just a cold, then just like the flu, then an overblown Democratic hoax? How can they keep claiming they’re right about everything? I mean, if I’d showed up on the House floor in a jokey gas mask to “own the libs,” errrrr, 25 days ago, I’d…
Fox News at its most fair and balanced
Remember the days of consensus reality, before everyone right of Mitt Romney’s dog simultaneously took the brown acid, hurtled headlong through an Einstein-Rosen bridge, and found themselves piled up like cordwood inside Donald Trump’s commodious clown car of a rectum? Back in the day, shit like this didn’t happen: x Um, Fox News chyron right now. pic.twitter.com/YTX73tj4tn…
Hannity radio producer on Meghan Markle: 'She's very uppity'
Okay, I don’t usually write much, or care much, about the royal family — because it’s 2020, and being an American who cares about the royals is sort of like complaining that your Chuck E. Cheese place setting had the salad fork in the wrong spot. I mean, the royals are basically elaborate sandcastles waiting for the tide of…
Florida man thinks he's on Fox News while being interviewed on CNN
At the end of an interview by CNN’s Christopher Charles “Chris” Cuomo, U.S. Representative and Trump sycophant Matthew Louis “Matt” Gaetz II (R-FL-1) addressed Cuomo as “Sean”, referring to Sean Patrick Hannity, who hosts a far-right political propaganda program on Fox News at the same time Cuomo’s news program airs on CNN (the incident occurs at…
John Solomon and The Hill's Ukraine reporting debacle: What it tells us about the D.C. media
Closing the barn door two years too late, the editor of The Hill this week announced that the publication is going to review all the dubious Ukraine conspiracy reporting John Solomon did while he worked there as an executive vice president. We “are reviewing, updating, annotating with any denials of witnesses, and when appropriate, correcting any…
Rudy claims Hillary colluded with Ukraine to win the election … after the election was over
Republicans are currently struggling to find a coherent alternative narrative in their defense of Donald Trump, who is guilty as hell, folks. Guilty as hell. Well, late-November moldy shrunken jack-o-lantern head/super-lawyer Rudy Giuliani isn’t really helping matters with this kind of argument: There is substantial, and I don’t want to exaggerate it, but pretty close…
Fox News rallies around impeachment talking points—but is it enough to save Trump?
After some initial hesitation on how to defend Donald Trump from allegations of trying to collude with the Ukraine government to influence the 2020 campaign, when Trump himself had admitted to doing exactly that, Fox News and most of the right-wing echo chamber have rallied around White House talking points. Robotically defending Trump and pitching…

FOX blares fair and balanced message about rat-infested leftist cities
Fox News at its most subtle, folks: x I kid you not, this is the current Chyron on @foxnews â¦@IngrahamAngleâ© pic.twitter.com/oFi3KttnuB — Carla Marinucci (@cmarinucci) July 17, 2019 I assume they’re talking about literal rats, but considering the history of extreme right-wing propaganda, I’m not sure what to think.

Dangerous liaisons: Fox News teams up with Russian agents to undermine democracy
With the revelation this week that Fox News helped Russian intelligence agents spread the vulgar conspiracy theory about Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich’s murder in 2016, we have entered a dark and dangerous place. We're at the point where a major American cable news channel teamed up with forces from a foreign adversary in order…
Fox's Napolitano says Trump violated the Constitution three times in the past week alone
It’s obvious to us that Donald Trump has crossed the Rubicon so many times they’ve had to build a KFC next to it, but when Fox’s talking heads start calling him out for his extralegal brain farts, we know things have gotten pretty egregious. Andrew Napolitano, whom Trump used to love before he started throwing shade…

Trump says he made Obama wiretapping accusation on 'a little bit of a hunch'
So how often do you make incendiary, slanderous accusations against former presidents based on an inkling? And would you do it multiple times (see: bullshit birtherism)? As we all remember, Donald Trump made a wild, completely unsupported accusation against Barack Obama back in March 2017, and now he’s admitting he did so “on a little bit…
