PHILADELPHIA — The Fox News skybox here turns into a hive of activity as the network’s star anchors analyze the Democratic National Convention for millions of viewers. When the cameras blink off, however, the banter has been replaced by something rarely heard in the television news business: silence. Megyn Kelly and her co-hosts, including Bret Baier and Brit Hume, have not been speaking during commercial breaks, according to two people with direct knowledge of the anchors’ interactions, who described the on-set atmosphere at Fox News as icy. During ads, the hosts are often absorbed with their smartphones. Even as Fox...

Under different circumstances, the photo above might not be a big deal. So what if Fox News's Megyn Kelly was hanging out with CNN's Don Lemon at 3 a.m., after Democratic National Convention coverage ended? People at rival networks are allowed to be friends, right? Right. But Kelly's contract is up after the election, and she has publicly discussed the possibility of leaving Fox News.

I just saw my first Donald Trump ad. It ran on Fox News Channel, during their coverage of the Democrat convention. Very pro-American. I like the ad, quite a lot.

The idea behind the Fox News channels was by no means a stroke of genius; it was actually a stroke of the blazingly obvious. Why not create a cable news network that was explicitly not another Democrat propaganda machine and directly target the 50 percent of Americans the rest of the media either ignores or treats like dirt? The genius of Roger Ailes came in its execution – everything from the uniquely hot color palette to the uniquely hot journalists to the (at first) unique mix of opinion and straight reporting, all backed by a lean, mean organization that produced...

Incredible video at link. O'Reilly tells truth about race problem in America. In the process, he destroys the race-baiting poverty pimps Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus. Watch it and you will be armed with facts to defeat any liberal race argument.

The shooter's name is Ali Sonboly, an 18 year old Iranian with dual German and Iranian citizenship. Multiple witnesses, not just one which originally included a Muslim female, say he yelled Allahu Akbar during the shooting rampage. He, or someone who knows him, had internet skills because an account linked to him hacked a Facebook account to put up false ads to try and lure children to the McDonalds at the mall where the murders took place with free gifts. A like fake ad tried to lure people to the Macys but hasn't yet been linked to the shooter. Some...

resident Obama didn’t seem prepared for the tough questions directed at him by Fox News’ Kevin Corke during his joint press conference with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto at the White House on Friday.Corke, while acknowledging that Obama’s approval ratings were above water, then provided the president with some unflattering polling that reveals over 70 percent of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track. Poll: Is the country going in the right or wrong direction? pic.twitter.com/exbOnQuzKJ— Fox News (@FoxNews) July 23, 2016 Is that number an “indictment” of his presidency? Corke wondered. Obama, clearly annoyed, responded by noting these statistics are nothing...

Meanwhile, it’s Goodbye ’Fair and Balanced’, ‘Hello Progressive Propaganda.’ While most attention was on the captivating histrionics of the 2016 Republican National Convention, the progressives were taking over Fox News. ‘Ailes is out as Fox News head, Murdoch named acting chief’ (AP, July 21, 2016)

Outgoing Fox News CEO Roger Ailes and Donald Trump have been on the phone with each other all week, fueling speculation the media veteran could wind up as a Trump adviser, The pair "counseled each other" in "multiple phone" calls this week, the news site reports, citing two unnamed sources.Ailes has been active in Republican politics, serving as a consultant to three Republican presidents, and has been friendly with the real estate mogul for "decades," CNN Money reports. The CNN Money report comes as Rupert Murdoch biographer Michael Wolff wrote Thursday about "rumors" swirling that Ailes would come aboard Team...

Judge Andrew Napolitano has put together a compelling case that a massive cover-up took place in the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails. He writes it cleverly, with each sentence beginning, “What if…?” so as to be able to present hypotheses. It really deserves to be read in its entirety at The Washington Times. But here is a sample: What if, when Mrs. Clinton suggested to the president that the United States wage a secret, undeclared war against Libya, the president went along with it as a no-lose proposition? What if he assumed that if her secret war succeeded he’d...

On Fox News, LeftyMeggy Kelly is fawning all over homosexual Peter Thiel's speech announcing he is gay. What progress for Republicans! She celebrates along with her homosexual guest, pseudo-conservative Guy Benson. Unchallenged by Lefty Meggy, pseudo-conservative Benson denounces the Christian conservative platform's position on allowing "conversion therapy." Why shouldn't undecided gays who are hoping to go straight have the freedom to get therapy?

The former Fox anchor who was dismissed by the now embattled head of Fox News is reportedly peddling a memoir dishing about her experience at the network. As if Roger Ailes doesn’t have trouble on his plate, former Fox News anchor Laurie Dhue has been shopping a tell-all about her experiences with the founder of the conservative-friendly cable network along with other Fox News personalities. Dhue’s proposed book-length memoir, which I’m told is already attracting interest from publishers, can’t be good news for the embattled Ailes—who faces the prospect of a pile-up of sexual harassment allegations, in the wake of...

Fox News' ratings-rich prime time lineup and dozens of contributors are reportedly willing to walk out the door in solidarity with embattled CEO Roger Ailes — and against Megyn Kelly. According to Breitbart News, hosts Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Shepard Smith, Bret Baier, Eric Bolling, Neil Cavuto, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Laura Ingraham, Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, Jeanine Pirro, Bo Dietl, Monica Crowley, as well as the "Fox & Friends" hosts, would be agreeable to leave if Ailes is forced out. In addition, at least 50 Fox News contributors would also be inclined to leave, Breitbart reports. The Financial...

What timing. No other content yet, just the Drudge Report alert.

There was plenty of drama at Wednesday night's Republican National Convention, but it was Megyn Kelly's spaghetti-strap dress that caused Twitter to be overrun with harsh criticisms about her 'unprofessional' appearance. The 45-year-old Fox News star has been busy covering the GOP Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, this week, but it was last night's form-fitting dress, which bared her shoulders and the upper part of her chest, that caused a stir with her audience, as critics took to social media to slam Megyn for 'wearing a bikini' and dressing like a 'cocktail waitress'. The Twitter uproar comes as her boss is...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — All of Fox News’ primetime lineup is willing to walk out of the network with chief executive and chairman Roger Ailes if he is pushed out by Rupert Murdoch and his family, Breitbart News has confirmed. Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Shepard Smith, Bret Baier, Eric Bolling, Neil Cavuto, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Laura Ingraham, Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, Jeanine Pirro, Bo Dietl, Monica Crowley, all of the Fox and Friends hosts, and at least 50 Fox News contributors are willing to depart the network if Ailes is ousted, and leave with him to form a new...

Did anybody else watch Laura Ingraham deliver her TERRIFIC speech at the convention on Fox News? If you did, you probably wanted to pull an Elvis on your TV set when for some BIZARRE reason, Fox News cut from the middle of Ingraham's speech to go to a rather mundane Talking Points Memo presented by Bill O'Reilly. It was jaw-dropping how STUPID it was to do this especially since Laura is a regular contributor to Fox News. WHY? Can anybody out there give a rational reason for such a DOPEY decision? Fortunately I was able to watch the full speech...

Looking back, we had, in the person of Teddy Roosevelt, the finest President in the history of this country. He had the spirit and determination that matched the times and the land. Then the women got the vote, and everything went to hell. While our boys was overseas fighting the Kaiser, the women got Prohibition put in. Drinking and gambling and whoring were declared unlawful. All those things which come natural to men became crimes.–Judge Roy BeanA quarter century ago, I was sent to my first reeducation camp. The company I was with at the time had been infected with...
