Trump openly admitting if we made voting easier in America, Republicans wouldn't win elections
Trump: "The things they had in there were crazy. They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again."
This story is WILD
ICE created a fake university, then:
- enticed foreign-born students to attend
- charged them money
- arrested them
- deported them
Students had come legally on student visas, but since the school was fake the visas weren't valid
Holy shit, Shep is on a roll today.
In just 2 minutes Shep dismantles almost every single recent Fox News narrative.
"Trump claimed Feds spied on his campaign ... calls it Spygate. Fox News can confirm it is not. Fox News knows of no evidence to support the president's claim"
El Paso shooter: “This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”
Tomi Lahren today: We shouldn't assign blame or point fingers about this
Lahren 3 months ago: This isn't just a migrant caravan, this is an invasion. Every American watching should be infuriated
🤔
Fox anchor: Can you tell me your thoughts on the drug that is used normally to treat malaria.
Dr. Haseltine: It's sad to me that people are promoting that drug.
Anchor: But what about the anecdotal evidence?
Haseltine: That's complete and utter nonsense. Irresponsible.
Whoa boy - Phil Mudd weighs in on Hannity's show last night:
"You got that dirt bag telling me that one of the most storied FBI directors ever is a crime boss? ... Facts are facts: Mueller's an American legend, the president is a dirt bag. Idk what to tell you, I'm pissed off"
Honestly impressive how the organizing principle of right-wing outrage went from 'let's complain about cancel culture' to 'let's cancel everything' and no one on the right even batted an eye
Geraldo: Don't for a minute start cheering this on, what we have done, what we have unleashed --
Kilmeade: I will cheer it on. I am elated.
Geraldo: Then you, like Lindsey Graham, have never met a war you didn't like.
Kilmeade: That is not true, don't even say that.
🔥
Fox Guest: "The core question is why the hell does Tucker Carlson still have a job here in the first place? This is someone said white supremacy is a hoax. Why does Fox still allow him to be here in the first place?"
Fox Anchor: We didn't bring you on to talk about Tucker.
Fox & Friends mentioned the term "secret society" over 20 times on Tuesday and Wednesday ... now that the text message shows it was a joke, silence.
Not one mention of secret societies on today's show. Not a correction, not a clarification, nothing.
Fox News' Chris Wallace: Some opinion people who appear on this network who might be pushing a political agenda don't think the Mueller letter is a big deal. But we have to deal in facts -- the fact is this letter was a clear indication that Mueller was very upset w/ Barr.
Fox News cuts out of McEnany
Cavuto: "Whoa, whoa, whoa. I just think we have to be very clear: she's charging the other side as welcoming fraud and illegal voting, unless she has more details to back that up, I can't in good countenance continue to show you this."
I literally watch the news for a living, and I had little to no knowledge of this abortion ban in Texas until late last night.
It's a huge indictment of cable news that something this impactful can occur with practically no cable news coverage until after it's too late.
Hey
@FoxNews
, while you're covering your ass and pretending to be outraged by people using your network to spread conspiracy theories about George Soros can we also get Jeanine Pirro off the air!?
This was her linking Soros to the caravan a week ago
Berman: What are your qualifications to weigh in on medicines more than Dr. Fauci?
Navarro: My qualifications in terms of looking at the science is that I'm a social scientist. I have a PHD, I understand how to read studies
Berman: That doesn't qualify you to treat patients!
Twitter right now:
Liberals: Overwhelmingly disavowing Northam (as they should)
Media: Reporting on Northam
Conservatives: Saying liberals won't disavow Northam and that the media won't report on it
There was not a single discussion on Fox News today about the caravan.
So apparently, the massive threat to national security from an invading force ... is no longer such a big deal?
I'm shocked.
Sen. Tom Cotton suggests "no quarter" for rioters and looters.
Historically, it means you kill people rather than arrest them.
It's a literal war crime.
When a mass shooting happens Fox News has the same reaction
Every. Single. Time.
- Blame video games
- Bring up ISIS/‘radical Islamic terrorism’
- Say “now’s not the time to talk about guns”
-Ignore links to white nationalism/Fox’s own rhetoric
Fuck that shit and fuck Fox News
In 2011, Obama mocked the GOP, suggesting they'd want a border moat full of alligators.
Trump made it reality.
Obama: "Maybe they'll need a moat. [roaring laughter] Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat."
Karl Rove: "The racism thing to me is -- I was offended"
If you are offended by someone saying we need to battle against racism, then perhaps you need to do some self reflection
Joe Scarborough: "I've never, truly, heard of a dumber plan to start a speakership than to put Jews' lives in danger so you could protect billionaire tax cheats."
Fox anchor: Can I asked you about the fact that the Trump campaign says their poll watchers weren't allowed in?
Fox correspondent: That's not true. It's not true. It's just not true. ... The claim from the president is not true, it is false. Trump campaign lawyers admitted that
Fox reax to E. Jean Carroll verdict: "The whole point of this ... is to tell Donald Trump to shut up ... Not just that he should stop insulting Jean Carroll, but he has to stop disrespecting the justice system ... he's showing a fundamental disrespect for the justice system"
Fox correspondent: "Reality is he has not won the presidency with legal votes cast. Right now Biden is ahead in both the popular vote and in the electoral college. Also, neither the president nor his campaign have provided any evidence to back up their claims of electoral fraud."
Yesterday cable news spent over 10 hours covering Roseanne.
The bombshell report putting the Puerto Rico death toll from Hurricane Maria at nearly 5,000 people was covered for just about 30 minutes.
Cable news needs to work on their priorities.
Fox anchor Martha Mac asked former CDC Director Redfield to respond to a report that the Trump admin was muzzling health officials from speaking out about COVID -- and he basically said, yup that happened

Tucker Carlson justifies KJU's murderous regime: "You've got to be honest about what it means to lead a country, it means killing people. A lot of countries commit atrocities, including our allies."
Carlson adds, 'it's silly and stupid to point out KJU is 'so mean''
Ted Cruz fled Texas during its power crisis to *fly his family to Cancun*
AOC raised $5 million for Texas and *flew to Texas* to help volunteer at relief efforts

Fox News' Chris Wallace: "Martha, I thought it was a great speech. I have been listening to these inaugural addresses since 1961. John F. Kennedy's 'ask not'. I thought this was the best inaugural address I ever heard."
Trump to female reporter: "I know you're not thinking, you never do."
Trump: "She's shocked I picked her, she's in a state of shock."
Vega: I'm not, thank you Mr. President.
Trump: "I know you're not thinking, you never do."
Vega: "I'm sorry?"
Trump: "Go ahead"
Fox guest on Pelosi attack: Where is the evidence of a breaking and entering
Fox anchor: There's video of him breaking into the house.
G: I haven't seen that
A: It's on the screen right now.
G: Maybe that's true, maybe I'm wrong
A: He's clearly using that to break in
This is what happens when you get all your coronavirus information from Fox docs and Trump
F&F Host Ainsley Earhardt: "97,000 kids tested positive? That was such a shock to me because we heard kids really don't get it."
Rogan & his guest:
1) Suggest Biden is mentally incompetent (for something he didn’t say)
2) Claim the media is gaslighting people to protect Biden
3) Find out Trump actually said it
4) Excuse Trump’s gaffe
5) Immediately pivot to blaming the media for their false narrative
MUST-WATCH:
@joerogan
says people regret voting for Biden and labels him mentally incompetent for talking about “airports during the revolutionary war” — then fact-checks himself… and slowly realizes TRUMP SAID IT. Whoopsy!🤦🏻♂️

Fox host utterly perplexed by James Comer not asking Hunter Biden a single question after demanding he come in
Steve Doocy: "You know the odd thing, James Comer who ran the committee apparently left the hearing early and did not ask a single question. How weird is that?"

Steve Doocy, Fox & Friends, 9/24:
"If the president said, I'll give you the money, but you've got to investigate Joe Biden, that'd be off the rails wrong."
😂😂😂
Scaramucci: Some of us have different views, but lets subordinate all that nonsense and work for the president and knock it off.
Ruhle: Anthony, you said 6 months ago that you think Steve Bannon tries to suck his own penis.
Ainsley Earhardt: "The Democrats, they want someone who's an activist. They want someone who allows the woman the right to choose. They want women's rights. They want LGBT."

Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin has been pushing back on bad takes from Fox hosts and anchors today

Griffin: You talk about how the sanctions haven't worked, I don't know if we can say that yet. The Russian stock market fell by 50%

Ferguson: Is anybody going to look masculine next to Donald Trump on stage?

Smith touts an "exclusive interview" with Dr. Atlas
Wallace: I'm going to say something, I'm just giving the truth, Atlas is not an epidemiologist, not an infectious disease specialist, he has no training in this area
Atlas is on the WH task force because Trump saw him on Fox
👀
Shep: "For historically, those who regularly, and as a matter of pattern, attack the messenger, who degrade and belittle the purveyors of truth, and work to diminish the free press, often find the facts displeasing, and endeavor to keep you from knowing them.

"It's my distinct pleasure today to welcome Kayleigh McEnany to the Fox Family"

ABC's Jonathan Karl said Biden's comment about some Republicans wanting to cut Social Security was "over the top" because "there's nobody seriously talking about sunsetting Social Security in the Republican Party"
Karl is just flat out wrong
Standard disclaimer: Fox News is still trash, they've still spent a ton of time casting doubt on this election and pushing voter fraud conspiracies *after* calling it for Biden.
Sometimes, however, even some Fox figures reach their limits.
A lot of people are learning about Harris Faulkner this week. There are two things you need to know:
She used to have a phone case that was a picture of herself
She once sued Hasbro claiming her likeness was violated by a toy hamster causing emotional damage
1. Millions of Americans aren't saying this
2. It isn't true
3. This show fucking sucks
"Millions of Americans in the cold and dark say the lack of power is because of green energy policies and the vilification of oil, gas, and coal -- the stuff that ~really~ keeps you warm"
@Payarm18
"God help the person who comes along and tries to take that away! Free lunch, that will never -- once it's baked in there, it's never going to end."
Her sympathy is to the person who will try to stop feeding the children. Classic.
Jon Stewart on Toomey blocking Burn Pit legislation to help veterans: "Toomey hasn't supported it at all because I think robots can't feel ... he's not a real boy and can't feel real boy feelings."

Fox News isn't airing the first hearing on the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol -- instead they're talking about athletes taking a knee, which they say "is one of the most polarizing things to happen to this nation in decades"
Doocy: 99% of people who are dying are unvaccinated
Kilmeade: That's their choice!
Doocy: They don't want to die. The admin and gov't says mask mandates are to protect the unvaccinated
Kilmeade: That's not their job, it's not their job to protect anybody!
Don. Jr was just on Fox & Friends accusing Democrats of hoping coronavirus "comes here and kills millions of people so that they can end Donald Trump's streak of winning."
Absolutely insane.
Memo to the media: If your headline right now doesn't mention the fact that Trump is ending *his own policy* that separates families, you're doing something wrong.
This story led ABC and NBC, and was the second story on CBS following a tease for their Trump Super Bowl interview
MSNBC and CNN have discussed it on every show since 5pm
So quit the “if this was a Republican” bullshit.

Napolitano: Asking for a favor in return for doing a legal obligation -- releasing the funds -- is pretty clearly a violation of a criminal bribery laws. Republicans may not want to acknowledge that, which is why they'd rather undermine the witnesses than address the merits.

Hahaha oops

Fox & Friends chyron: Sen Ted Cruz spends weekend helping Texans
I guess “After returning from Cancun vacation Sen Ted Cruz does multiple photo ops to pretend he cares” wouldn’t fit?
Harris Faulkner: The DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has resigned.

Faulkner: Forgive me, that has not happened.
