Jesse Watters has a long history of making misogynistic and sexually suggestive comments on air. His past year on Fox has been no different.

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Election deniers push conspiracy theories about primaries in GOP-run Texas Election deniers have been targeting this year’s primary and special elections in Texas, claiming there has been “massive” fraud and cheating. Attorney Peter Ticktin, activist Linda Szynkowicz, QAnon ...

Election deniers have for weeks targeted Texas' March 3 primaries (& a January special election in the state), baselessly claiming there's been “massive” fraud & cheating in those races.

Republicans have full control of the Texas government, including its chief election officer.

My latest:

Newsmax's Greg Kelly on the Pope’s “left-wing agenda”: “...He wants to pretend that illegal migrant criminals are being unjustly treated in America? These are Democrat talking points.”

Fox's Tax Day celebration of Trump’s "Big Beautiful Bill" fails to account for how he increased costs for Americans Fox News and Fox Business personalities were hyping the supposed benefits of President Donald Trump's signature 2025 legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on Tax Day, in part by pointing...

Costs from Trump's tariffs, Iran war, and benefit cuts amount to much more than the roughly $350 average Americans reportedly receive from his signature bill. But from watching Fox, you'd have no idea.

Conservative Radio Host Warns Trump He's Freaking Out Evangelicals The president’s latest antics may be too much even for his own base.

“(Trump is) forcing his supporters into awkward places, and if they don’t support him, he attacks them. This is not a way to sustain a coalition”

Joe Rogan on Trump’s “terrifying” war with Iran: “Most people that voted for Trump or wanted Trump to be in office, one of the things that was attractive was this no more wars”

So close to getting it: Rogan calls war in Iran "terrifying", Trump administration "seems like they didn't know what the fuck they were going to do"

Tucker Carlson on Sean Hannity: “It does take a kind of cable news mentality to say of the pope, hey, you ever read the Bible? It's hilarious.”

Why Fox News is so mad at Abigail Spanberger Virginia’s new governor accused of bait-and-switch by right-wing media

In the conservative media ecosystem, the distinction between talking points and reality is beside the point. The goal is to “flood the zone” and create so much noise that the truth struggles to break through.

Right-wing Christian media double down on supporting Trump's Iran war: “King David himself did this when he found himself dealing with a nation that was barbaric” Some right-wing Christian media figures are continuing their support for President Donald Trump’s war with Iran even as some within the broader right-wing media ecosystem have split with the administr...

Right-wing Christian media are doubling down on supporting Trump's Iran war.

Jesse Watters: Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris as his running mate because “the Blacks were burning things down”

Fox mentions of Pres Biden's family conflicts, 16mos period:
13,000

Fox mentions Pres Trump family conflicts:

"For Fox News, their word is apparently sufficient. The network’s evening programs have mentioned the Trump family’s myriad Gulf state conflicts just twice since late last year."

Even some in right-wing media are now asking questions about Trump's age and mental acuity

Some right-wing media pundits have criticized the 79-year-old president this week, expressing concerns about his age and mental acuity.

Candace Owens: “Trump is very clearly under demonic influence.”

My latest for MSNOW details how the Trumps turned Fox News’ “Biden Crime Family” schtick into a business plan, and the network immediately stopped caring about political corruption: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Gen Z women don't long to be tradwives Fox News is misleading MAGA grandmas again

A new study trumpeted by Fox News promotes a brand-new definition of "tradwife" that sounds like the worst of all worlds: women having to work and handle all domestic responsibilities without any help at all.

Dozens of Project 2025 proposals appear to be included in the Trump administration's newest budget The proposed 2027 budget released by the Office of Management and Budget is filled with ideas that appear to be copied and pasted from Project 2025's Mandate for Leadership. Russ Vought, the head of t...

Russ Vought, the head of the Office of Management and Budget, was an architect of Project 2025 before being hired by Trump.

I wrote about Gen. Jack Keane, one of Fox's most vocal cheerleaders for the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, who also happens to sit on the board of directors of two military contractors. The network doesn't seem to have disclosed this conflict of interest over at least 59 appearances on Fox News/Business

Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo on Donald Trump: “This was a sloppy and frankly disrespectful attack on the Pope”

Mark Levin on the legality of using atomic weapons: In 1945, “we dropped two atomic bombs. Now, I'm not encouraging it. I'm asking about the law. Is that legal today under the law of the war or not?”
