Why Geraldo Rivera went on Bill Maher's show last night to further incinerate his journalistic reputation is anyone's guess, but it seemed that the Fox News reporter is acutely aware of just how bad his credibility has gotten. Rivera was on the show for a one on one interview ...read more
An amazing thing is happening over at Fox News in the wake of the report yesterday that Donald Trump attempted to fire Robert Mueller back in June of last year. Parroting the president's assertion that it was a "typical New York Times fake story" hosts on the network immediately ...read more
Today's bombshell report that Steve Bannon believes Donald Trump Jr. is guilty of collusion with the Russian government was understandably plastered over every news site on the internet. Hell, even Breitbart.com featured it prominently on the front page (albeit not as headline). ...read more
It's a well known fact that Donald Trump gets most of his news about the country he is supposed to be running from 'Fox and Friends', a daily show dedicated to pushing a far right political agenda to not-so-bright Americans. Trump loves the coverage he gets from the hosts on the ...read more
Today, special counsel Robert Mueller released his first indictments in the ongoing Russia scandal, beginning with Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business partner, Rick Gates, as well as the confirmation that former Trump foreign policy adviser George ...read more
In the latest employee scandal at Fox News, it was revealed by the Huffington Post that Eric Bolling, co-host of “The Five,” was recently suspended from the network for sending lewd text messages to colleagues. This should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone vaguely ...read more
Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump told throngs of eager supporters that one of his biggest priorities if elected was to "drain the swamp." The self-proclaimed billionaire even put forward a 5 step plan to make Washington great again, saying,“It’s time to drain ...read more
If you have somehow managed to avoid hating this insipid entry into the 80's pop subgenre of obsessively creepy male sexual frustration that I like to call "stalker rock," the zenith of which was the overplayed Police hit "Every Breath You Take" and the nadir of which was Corey ...read more
Why would a Democratic presidential candidate go on Fox and Friends if it wasn't to try and attract resentful white voters to upcoming open primaries? Hell if I know, but that's what Jeff Weaver did Wednesday morning, spending a good two solid minutes bitching about Debbie ...read more
Fox Nation is a weird and fascinating place, if you can quell the rage it inspires in you. Think of it as an acid trip by someone with a terrible imagination who would normally never take drugs. On Saturday morning, for example, in between obsessing about President Obama ...read more
Fox Nation can be a weird and wonderful place once you learn to let go of things like logic and sense. On Monday's Fox and Friends, I got pulled into a fascinating drama over one town's apparent decision to "ban" the Pledge of Allegiance from its Planning Board meetings, which, ...read more
Fox and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade is, without a doob-t, my favorite Fox News host, and he has apparently never said "hyperbole" out loud before today. When he finally did, his pal Steve Doocy was there to make him repeat it. Not cool, Steve: Don't feel bad, Brian, I got ...read more
Retired brain surgeon Dr. Ben Carson loves to tell people how he would have rushed the Oregon mass shooter, instead of "cooperating" and just letting him shoot everyone like the real-life victims did (except they didn't). The guy literally cannot stop saying it, and laughing ...read more
The conservative media reaction to Hillary Clinton's belated apology over the email "scandal" has been a predictable mix of mockery and "It's about time!" Once in a while, though, these folks can surprise you, as Fox & Friends' Brian Kilmeade did Wednesday morning. In case you ...read more
Topics from our Thursday show -- Fudge and Nuts: Fox and Friends Tell Gay People to Get Their Cakes from a Nonexistent Cake Shop; Fox News A-hole Keith Ablow on Gender Equality; Ted Nugent Weighs in on the Confederate Flag; Subway Guy Questioned About Child Porn; Diff'rent ...read more
Criticizing Fox News Channel by suggesting its hosts regularly parrot Republican talking points verbatim has always been a bit of an exaggeration. It makes perfect sense, but it's more of a zinger than an on-the-nose criticism. The other day, Steve Doocy did it. For real. While ...read more
Here's a fantastic example of how Fox News Channel operates. The Department of Labor released the January jobs numbers, showing a slight uptick in unemployment from 5.6 percent to 5.7 percent; 257,000 jobs were added, topping estimates; and wages increased a notch. The overall ...read more
Bill O'Reilly thinks Republicans are afraid of black people, but if Tucker Carlson is any indication, maybe they're just in love with their old white selves. On Sunday morning, Carlson provided the perfect cherry on top of the Fox and Friends Sunday, punctuating The Five host ...read more
Conservatives are freaking out (and even openly weeping) over a White House Instagram video that shows President Obama saluting a U.S. Marine on his way down the steps of Marine One...with a latté in his hand! Even the normally liberal Alec Baldwin had a curiously intense ...read more
Oh, come on. You didn't really think Fox News was going to apologize, did you? Yesterday morning, the aging frat boy comedy team of Doocy and Kilmeade on Fox & Friends gave us the worst initial response to the video of Ray Rice knocking his wife's lights out in an Atlantic City ...read more
Ray Rice is officially a man without a football team after being terminated by the Baltimore Ravens and put on indefinite suspension by the NFL this afternoon. You can argue that this is pretty much the very best response so far to the release of a startling piece of video that ...read more
As if the story of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl hadn't already caused enough conservative whiplash, news of his return to active duty prompted some serious DefCon 5 lunacy on Fox and Friends, where Bergdahl isn't just a deserter, he's also some kind of frustrated whistleblower being ...read more
"Don’t you think it’s a little curious? Some of my friends were talking over the weekend, isn’t that curious timing? Out of nowhere, you know, in the midst of Obamacare not unrolling correctly, the president’s poll numbers never been lower then, look, John Kerry pulls a rabbit ...read more
This is going to be fun to write about. On the one hand, it involves an almost flawless confluence of media trends that I've brought up and predictions that I've made throughout the years; on the other hand it also involves a series of media properties and personalities so ...read more
By Chez Pazienza: There's an old saying that I'm a big fan of: Never try to teach a pig to sing -- it wastes your time and annoys the pig. I think of this every time I get the urge to lash out at Fox News for some irresponsible, grossly unethical thing or other that the network ...read more
