Leftist website ratings firm NewsGuard is back to show the world why it’s a pathetic excuse for an internet traffic cop by giving FoxNews.com a failing grade while completely undercutting its own complaint. NewsGuard downgraded FoxNews.com July 18 from a green-shield 69.5/100 rating in December 2021 to a red-shield 57/100, noting that the website “fails to adhere to several basic journalistic standards.” This is coming from the same firm that left the liberal USA Today’s perfect 100/100 score intact after the newspaper removed 23 stories because one of its reporters fabricated sources. NewsGuard even praised USA Today for how its...

A cyber forensics expert commissioned by the Washington Examiner recovered over 168,000 deleted files from a copy of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop. Many of the deleted files were system files, application files, or duplicates of user files stored elsewhere on the laptop. Some of the recovered data, however, shed light on his financial dealings in 2018 and early 2019, as well as his personal dealings during that time frame. Also recovered from the drive were deleted pictures of government ID cards for two individuals linked to President Joe Biden's son. Konstantinos "Gus" Dimitrelos, a former Secret Service agent who has...

Texts between Sean Hannity and then-WH press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany:

The Fox News host Sean Hannity tried to sell Donald Trump on a novel way to heal the wounds of his presidency and the deadly Capitol attack: a pardon for Hunter Biden. The bizarre idea was referred to in texts released by the House January 6 committee, which on Thursday held its first primetime televised hearing. In one message, Hannity told Kayleigh McEnany, then White House press secretary, Trump “was intrigued by the pardon idea!! (Hunter)”.

Tucker Carlson’s primetime show on Fox News has smashed another key barrier. Deadline published the viewership results for cable news shows this week and Carlson, as well as Fox News, smashed all of the competition. Television viewership data found that Carlson’s show is the number one most-watched show among Democrats in the key demographic of 25-54 year-olds. “The data showed that Carlson pulled in 101,000 viewers who self-identified as Democrats in the 25-54 demographic. MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” and Fox’s “The Five” were tied for second place, each attracting 88,000 viewers in the key demo who self-identified as Democrats....

Former President Donald Trump criticized Fox News on Saturday, complaining the outlet will not "show or discuss" Dinesh D'Souza's documentary 2000 Mules concerning allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. "Fox News is no longer Fox News," Trump posted on his TruthSocial account. "They won't even show or discuss the greatest & most impactful documentary of our time, "2000 Mules." The Radical Left Democrats are thrilled - They don't want the TRUTH to get out." Trump's gripes echoed those of author and conservative political commentator D'Souza, who on Monday accused Fox and Newsmax for not providing coverage of...

Failed GOP Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnette took to Twitter to blame Fox News host Sean Hannity for her primary election loss. “Never forget what Sean Hannity did in this race,” she said in a video posted on Twitter Wednesday. “Almost single handedly Sean Hannity sowed deep seeds of disinformation, flat out lies every night for the past five days and that was just extremely hard to overcome.”Her comment comes after Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz said Tuesday Hannity has been giving him advice “behind the scenes.” “I want to thank Sean Hannity. Sean has been like a brother...

Former television doctor and Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz revealed on Tuesday night that Fox News host Sean Hannity has been giving him campaign advice in recent months. “I wan to thank Sean Hannity. Sean has been like a brother to me. When Sean punches through something, he really punches through it. He understands exactly how to make a difference and he’s been doing that this entire campaign,” Oz said during an election night speech with the Senate primary race still too close to call. “He’s been doing that much of it behind the scenes. Giving me advice in...

The Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary has yet to be decided, and the final result may come down to tens of thousands of outstanding mail-in ballots that won’t be counted until Wednesday. Currently, businessman Dave McCormick leads Trump-endorsed TV doctor Mehmet Oz by about 1,700 votes, well within the margin for a mandatory recount. Upstart candidate Kathy Barnette, who appeared to be gaining ground on her competitors early in the night, is currently at 24.7% Just before midnight local time, McCormick told supporters, “We had a pretty good day today. I want to thank you all so much for your support...

Republican Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnette told the Todd Starnes Radio Show Monday that Fox News host Sean Hannity is leading the charge against her. Hannity has used his primetime show to criticize Barnette while supporting the Trump-endorsed candidate in the race, Dr. Mehmet Oz. Barnette challenged Hannity to use his show for a live debate between her and Oz, but she said Hannity said no. “And yet every single night, he’s the ringleader of this pile-on of Kathy Barnette,” she told host Todd Starnes. “I said, ‘Sean, I’m clearing my calendar. 9pm I will come see you. Sit in...

He is also charged with sexual activity while in a position of trust and two counts of trafficking within the UK. It is alleged some assaults happened while he was at work, West Midlands Police said. The trafficking charge is in connection with an accusation Mr. Taimoor drove girls around in his car with the intention of sexually assaulting them, the force added.

Fox News host Sean Hannity has spent an awful lot of time and credibility in recent days attacking U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette. He endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Republican primary, and as I was told recently by Brannon Howse at Worldview Weekend, there are credible reports Hannity was the driving force in getting Donald Trump to endorse Oprah’s famous doctor. This would make sense considering the all-out attacks Hannity and others have been engaged in against Barnette. His show last night was a doozy as he continued to go nuclear on the Black female veteran who nobody was...

Actor Sean Penn tells 'Hannity' 'it's clear to me Ukrainians will win this; the question is at what cost'.

Steve Bannon Tosses Hannity to the Wolves... “How is Chris Hayes having segments like that, probably the most powerful segment that’s been done yet on this war, the real war? And you’ve got Hannity, Hannity is trying to decapitate a regime, he’s trying to have regime change,” Bannon said, referencing Hannity’s suggestion on Wednesday to “cut the head of the snake off” and assassinate Putin. Cortes says that Hannity is “losing the plot completely because he’s had too much of Lindsey Graham. When you have Lindsey Graham on your show, the globalist loser, every other night and you do nothing...

So, Jennifer and Idiot Hannity - why isn’t it Important when Biden Lies to his people? When Rents are up 20%?

Fox's obsession with Hillary Clinton is only growing more fierce. The right-wing talk channel, which has in recent days dishonestly twisted a court filing from special counsel John Durham to accuse Clinton of nefariously spying on Donald Trump, mentioned Clinton's name nearly 200 times Thursday, according to a search of rush TV transcripts. The escalation in the network's already-manic coverage of the former presidential candidate came after she delivered remarks at the New York Democratic convention.

Having finished serving an 18-month sentence for sending obscene material to a minor, former congressman Anthony Weiner, like many disgraced Democrats before him, is plotting a comeback. But, if his first TV appearance since becoming a free man is any indication, that comeback will not be successful. On Monday, Weiner appeared on Fox News alongside Guardian Angels founder and former Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa to promote their new weekly show, The Left vs. The Right, on 77 WABC Radio. During the interview, Weiner was asked by Sean Hannity if he’s a changed man since serving his time. “I guess...

Sean Hannity came to the defense of The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg on Tuesday's episode of Hannity, shortly after the news broke that Goldberg had been suspended for two weeks by ABC. Goldberg faced immediate backlash on Monday following remarks she made on The View that the Holocaust “was not about race” but rather about “man’s inhumanity to man.” Snip “I think her apology is sincere. I think she’s learned a lot in the process. If two weeks off is the penalty, it’s better than being canceled,” Hannity said. “

The House Jan. 6 select committee's request to sit with Ivanka Trump is further highlighting the close relationship Fox News host Sean Hannity had with her father's White House. A letter from the panel to Ivanka Trump includes portions of text exchanges from Hannity and then-White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who has since returned to Fox. In the texts, Hannity recaps just a few points of a broader communications plan for responding to the attack, among other pieces of advice. “1- No more stolen election talk,” Hannity reportedly texted McEnany, who herself sat down with committee investigators last week...
