Fox News said Wednesday that Ed Henry, one of its top news anchors, has been fired after an investigation into an allegation was leveled by a former employe

On Thursday, HuffPost ran “Tucker Carlson Loses Advertisers After Racist Comments AGAIN.” From the article: Tucker Carlson keeps repeating his own dumb history. The Fox News host again is losing advertisers after saying racist stuff. Disney, T-Mobile, Papa John’s and Vari have pulled their commercials from Tucker Carlson Tonight… Here’s how the piece pointed to the “R” word: The exodus came after Carlson on Monday warned viewers of his popular show on the conservative cable network that Black Lives Matters protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd were “not about Black lives, and remember that when they come...

I have the Fox News show "Outnumbered" (anchored by a black female, by the way) on in the background and I happened to look up and see a full-screen banner that read "Remembering David Dorn" and about a 30 second segment on his life and death.

Tucker Carlson went live last night after a weekend of violent rioting and looting across many of America’s major cities. He took no prisoners in what was easily the most important monologue of his career. It’s a moment in media history that will still be talked about a decade from now. That’s how powerful it was, whether you agree with every conclusion or not. Over the course of 30 minutes, Carlson laid out the case that our leaders have failed to protect us in this time of chaos. He played the clips of men and women being beaten, the videos...

I know half of you will say you gave up on Fox years ago. But I've noticed this has gotten really bad of late. I keep saying to my wife "Why is EVERY story now told from the perspective of what 'democrats' say?" They never report what President Trump actually did or said. The report just now and the screen headline was "Democrats accuse the President of lacking a serious plan to fight the virus." How is that even a news story or headline? They are reporting Democrat talking points as if it's news. I know Trump has a detailed...

Five weeks and 19 interviews later, presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden has not been asked directly about the substantiated sexual assault accusations from Tara Reade. Joe Biden might not be guilty. But the corporate media is.Here’s what we know. We know Tara Reade alleges that in 1993 her boss, Sen. Joe Biden, sexually assaulted her, and we know that five people have thus far corroborated her claim she told them about this at the time. We know that, and we know that Vice President Biden denies committing sexual assault, and further, denies his office even received a complaint.Next, we...

Just watched Mike Wallace wannabe, Chris Wallace, on @FoxNews. I am now convinced that he is even worse than Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Meet the Press(please!), or the people over at Deface the Nation. What the hell is happening to @FoxNews. It’s a whole new ballgame over there!

While America as a whole is at war with the global coronavirus pandemic, it appears Fox News host Tucker Carlson is at war with Senate Judiciary Committee chair Lindsey Graham. In a stunning segment Thursday evening, the celebrated FNC host accused the South Carolina senator of trying to expand a visa program during a time when the United States ought to be tightening borders restrictions, not loosening them. “At this very moment, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is pressuring the White House to respond to this epidemic by passing out residency documents to rich Chinese, nearly all of whom,...

Dripping with derision, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi exulted that President Trump has “been impeached forever.” “They can never erase that,” she intoned. If Pelosi had a football nearby, she would have spiked it. Her celebratory remarks crystallized what the impeachment of Donald Trump is all about. Pelosi, D-Calif., doesn’t care about facts, evidence or what constitutes an impeachable offense under the Constitution. She cares only about bludgeoning the president for the electoral harm it might cause him in November. This has been Pelosi’s intent all along. Impeachment was her political cudgel. She crowed about it like a pro wrestler who...

People tend to seek out news that reinforces their own ideologies, and a new analysis of more than 1 million responses gathered over the past year suggests the country is much hungrier for red meat. Morning Consult data from 1,124,368 responses gathered Nov. 1, 2018, through Oct. 31, 2019, provides a unique look at weekly viewership of CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC among Democrats, independents and Republicans in every U.S. congressional district — and reveals the awesome reach of one outlet in particular: Fox News. Fox News is the most-watched cable news outlet in 299 of the country’s 436...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano said he would vote for impeachment because the Democrats “have credibly argued” that President Donald Trump has obstructed Congress. Napolitano said, “I believe that the Democrats have credibly argued that he committed impeachable offenses. The easiest one, because this existed in Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton — is obstruction of Congress.”

Stand up to Fox and you’re “Trashing” them: President Donald Trump is now “WOKE” and fully aware of the new leftward leaning Fox News. Fox News seems to have taken a page from the progressive left in countering the president’s slam: Attack the president and when he strikes back, blame it on him for starting the brouhaha in the first place. In other words, no room for self defense when your enemy is the bullying progressive left.

Finally. Sean Hannity informed President Donald Trump–and the nation–during a phone interview Wednesday night on Hannity’s Fox News Channel show that Judge Jeanine Pirro will return to her Fox News Channel show Saturday night. Hannity’s is the first official word from Fox about Pirro’s return after a two week absence following her remarks about Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on her March 9 show.

Judge Jeanine Pirro's Saturday night Fox News show will not appear as scheduled for a second straight week, according to the network's online programming calendar. Instead of Justice w/ Judge Jeanine, Fox News will air Scandalous: The Trial of William Kennedy Smith at 9 p.m. on the East Coast, the same show that aired on Saturday, March 16.

Under capitalism, ownership brings control, and Fox News has a new corporate parent that began trading yesterday on NASDAQ.  There are reasons for conservatives to be deeply concerned. Sarah Ellison and Paul Farhi write at the Washington Post: Fox’s parent company is undergoing a generational change — one that produced another, perhaps more subtle sign of independence from the president. On Tuesday, Fox Corp. began public trading as the new parent of Fox News, Fox Entertainment and Fox Sports; the company is the result of 21st Century Fox’s sale of its film and television assets to Disney Corp. The...

During "Media Buzz," Howard Kurtz addressed the fact that "Justice with Judge Jeanine" did not air Saturday night, one week after the network condemned her comments about Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Unearthed radio clips have revealed a number of sexist, misogynistic and perverted remarks by Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson. The clips compiled and published Sunday by Media Matters For America were recorded back when Carlson was a regular commentator on the shock jock radio program 'Bubba the Love Sponge' between 2006 and 2011. For about an hour each week, Carlson would call into the show and weigh in on current events, often sharing controversial opinions in vulgar terms. On several occasions the conservative commentator defended underage marriage and statutory rape while making crude comments about minors exploring their sexuality. He...

I know he gets on our nerves, but I'm glad everyone is okay.

There are few sights these days as pitiable as a corporation acceding to the demands of radical activists on the basis of an ostensibly insensitive comment made by one of its officials or employees. As the script normally dictates, the offending individual steps down, while the company profusely apologizes for its insensitivity and vows to redouble its commitment to “diversity.” That’s what makes Fox News Channel’s refusal to fire political talk show host Tucker Carlson in the face of an activist-triggered advertiser boycott so refreshing. By resisting the speech police, the network just might have set an example for other...

CNN political commentator and pro-Russian Congressman Dana Rohrbacher aide Tara Setmayer has been a diehard Never Trump while supposed still claiming to be a conservative, Republican, or something along those lines. But like almost cable news Republicans, she’s lurched leftward. On her October 30 podcast, she hypocritical lectured listeners that “words matter” and “we have to be better” while bashing Fox News for being a network that “jerks the President off every single day” and is filled with “political masturbation.” She also suggested that anyone who supports the President or any of his policies might as well support murderous drug dealers. ...
