Pete Buttigieg’s recent appearance on Fox News, where he bluntly stated that MAGA is a cult, has sparked a lot of reactions. It’s not surprising that his comments didn’t sit well with many Fox viewers, especially those deeply entrenched in the Trump media bubble. Calling out a cult for what it is, especially when the cult members are unaware of their own cult-like behaviors, can be a tough pill to swallow.
But the reality is, when you look at the characteristics of a cult, it’s hard to deny that there are some striking similarities with the MAGA movement. From blind devotion to the leader, to unquestioning loyalty, to a warped sense of reality, these traits are all too familiar in the world of Trumpism.… Continue reading
Hunter Biden’s decision to drop the ‘revenge porn’ lawsuit against Fox News may come as a surprise to many, especially after the initial outrage over the production of the fictional miniseries that aimed to tarnish his reputation. Entitled “The Trial of Hunter Biden,” this mock trial depicted sexually graphic images of him, sparking controversy and anger. The fact that this kind of content was even created is bewildering and raises questions about the lengths some media outlets will go to in order to push their narrative.
The lawsuit, initially filed as a means to combat the defamation and humiliation caused by Fox News, was a bold move on Hunter Biden’s part.… Continue reading
The recent interview between Donald Trump and a Fox News host highlighted a glaring issue that has plagued the former president for years – his inability to provide a clear, concise answer to a simple yes-no question. When asked about NATO, Trump launched into a four-minute diatribe that touched on China, COVID, the stock market, the economy, and a myriad of other topics, completely avoiding a direct response. This kind of word salad from Trump is nothing new, but it serves as a stark reminder of the chaotic and nonsensical nature of his rhetoric.
The question posed to Trump was straightforward: “There are people who believe you want to get out of NATO — is that what you want to do?”… Continue reading
Fox News has once again found itself at the center of controversy, this time for allegedly helping Trump plan another Jan. 6-style assault on democracy. The insidious cycle of lies that led to the events of January 6, 2021, is back in full swing. With only five months to go before the 2024 election, right-wing media outlets are already peddling the narrative that a Trump defeat can only be explained by fraud. Fox News personalities like Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters are actively priming their audiences to reject the legitimacy of any future election results that do not favor Trump.
The fear-mongering around potential election fraud has become a staple on Fox News, with hosts like Laura Ingraham stoking the flames of conspiracy theories and misinformation.… Continue reading
It’s no secret that Donald Trump has had a tumultuous political career, filled with controversies, scandals, and a loyal base of supporters. Despite his defeat in the 2020 election, Trump has remained a prominent figure in the Republican Party, hinting at a potential run for the presidency in 2024. However, a recent poll from Fox News has thrown a wrench into Trump’s plans, showing President Joe Biden leading him by a mere two points.
The fact that Trump is trailing Biden in a Fox News poll is significant, considering the conservative nature of the network and its past predictions. It’s a clear indication that Trump’s grip on the Republican Party might be loosening, and that Biden’s policies and actions are resonating with a significant portion of the electorate.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent debate stirred up by Fox & Friends regarding Biden calling Trump a convicted felon and its potential impact on the convicted felons of America, I can’t help but find the irony in their sudden concern for this demographic. It seems hypocritical for a network that has historically championed being tough on crime to now be worried about alienating individuals who have faced legal consequences for their actions. The question that arises in my mind is, why the sudden change of heart? Have the convicted felons suddenly become a demographic worth courting for votes, despite many states preventing them from voting in the first place?… Continue reading
Fox News is at it again, this time editing an interview with former President Trump to help him sound normal. It’s no secret that Trump has a penchant for saying outrageous things, but the edits made by Fox didn’t focus on his more extreme statements. Instead, they chose to cut out parts where Trump proposed cutting government agencies, talked about mass deportations, and denied ever saying “Lock her up” about Hillary Clinton.
The fact that Fox felt the need to edit Trump’s interview to make him sound more coherent speaks volumes about his current mental state. It’s concerning that his team would go to such lengths to make him appear more presidential, especially considering the wild statements he has made in the past.… Continue reading
I can’t help but chuckle at the irony of the situation. For years, during Trump’s presidency, Fox News and Trump himself would boast about how great the economy was based on the performance of the stock market. The Dow Jones hitting record highs was seen as a sign of economic prosperity and success under Trump’s leadership. But now, under President Biden, the same Fox News that championed the stock market as the ultimate indicator of a strong economy is singing a different tune.
American stock indexes have soared to record highs, with the Dow Jones closing above 40,000. This achievement goes against the narrative that Fox News and Trump pushed, claiming that such highs were impossible under Biden’s administration.… Continue reading
When I first heard about the exchange between Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and a Fox News host regarding her past comments about former President Donald Trump, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disbelief. Stefanik, who had once called Trump a ‘whack job’, was now facing the repercussions of her own words being thrown back at her. It’s ironic how quickly the tide can turn in the world of politics, especially within the Republican establishment.
Stefanik’s reaction to the host’s reminder of her previous remarks was nothing short of a meltdown. The way she lashed out and accused them of misquoting her was a clear display of fake outrage and attempted deflection.… Continue reading
The Most Successful Man on Fox News Is Almost the Dumbest. This Is Not a Coincidence.
Jesse Watters, the smarmy chuckle of the righteous prick, relies on low-effort mockery and lazy analysis delivered in a mellow tone, often paired with a mirthless laugh. The perfect description given by *Slate* writers is spot-on – it’s hard to tell if he is an enormous idiot or just pretending to be one. But let’s face it, I’m pretty sure he’s just a well-paid idiot. It’s utterly mind-boggling how grown-ups watch these two clowns, Watters and Gutfield. The fact that adults take them seriously is beyond me, as I find them absolutely insufferable.… Continue reading
