Fox News can’t seem to make up their minds about vaccines. The anchors on the channel certainly want Donald Trump to get out sized credit for his role in developing the vaccine. At the same time, they are not willing to tell their viewers they should get inoculated. Leading the misinformation charge is Tucker Carlson….
Over the last few years, a number of females who have courageously served their country have been elected to the House and Senate. Martha McSally, who served in Arizona, spent 22 years in the Air Force. Mikie Sherrill, recently elected to the House of Representatives, spent 9 years in the Navy. And Tammy Duckworth, a…
There was a reason why George Floyd’s death became a transformative moment in American history. The video of the killing left no ambiguity about how he died. The trial of the police officers involved in the incident is looming. And now a light has again be shined on the incident. Not surprisingly, Fox News is…
QAnon played a major role in the January 6th insurrection on the Capitol. More than a few of the mob members could be seen wearing QAnon paraphernalia. Other insurrectionists could be seen waving QAnon flags. But Tucker Carlson has made a commitment to gaslighting his viewers, even if the evidence is right there in front…
When he was coming into office, Joe Biden said that his goal was for the US to average 1 million vaccines a day. A month into office, the country is shattering that goal and the average is up to 1.6 million shots a day. The cases are also going down around the country. Data has…
The nation is, at the moment, very polarized. The last two elections could have swung on just around 100,000 votes. So it behooves both the Democratic and Republicans parties to embrace all types of voters. On Tuesday night, Tucker Carlson attacked Democrats for not being a more inclusive party. The Fox host thinks that Liberal’s…
In mid-January, only 10 Republican congresspeople were willing to vote to impeach Donald Trump. All of them have taken heat from their parties. Many have been censured by their state GOP’s. Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger not only voted to impeach Trump, he’s been a consistent critic of the former president since the November election. In…
Donald Trump’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic was an utter disaster. Pfizer and Moderna, though, were at the least, able to create vaccines that could help combat the virus. And Trump certainly took credit for the vaccines on his way out of office. Pro-Trump Fox News, however, is now attacking the vaccine. On his Tuesday…
For years Tucker Carlson was telling his audience that white nationalism doesn’t exist. The Fox News host even continued to make this argument after his top writer, Blake Neff, resigned over racist and misogynistic remarks he had made. The prime-time news personality has also done his best to play down the January 6th attack on…
Just a few weeks ago, a mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol. A number of those participating in the insurrection belonged to militia or white supremacist groups. The actions of those rioters were completely indefensible. That doesn’t mean, however, that people weren’t going to try. On his Tuesday night show, Tucker…
The Republican party and their cable news surrogates are big on hyperbole. This was seen tonight when multiple GOP Reps. lost their minds over a metal detector placed in the House. But you can always count on Fox News to take it to the next level. Especially when the segment involves Glenn Beck and Tucker…
Comedian John Mulaney brilliantly described that it’s like to be an American with Trump in the White House in his 2018 special Kid Gorgeous. He referred to Trump as, “a horse in a hospital,” meaning absolute chaos is always right around the corner. And that unbridled chaos broke out yesterday in Washington DC as a…
Donald Trump has exhausted nearly every strategy he had to overturn November’s election results. Once his January 6th attempt fails, there will be no cards left in his deck. And while Trump may not have yet come to terms with the fact he’s leaving the White House, most of the hosts on Fox News have….
Through no fault of her own, Jill Biden’s educational background became a national topic of discussion this week. In a hacky and misogynistic op-ed published in the Wall St. Journal, a guy named Joseph Epstein claimed that the future first lady hasn’t earned the right to be called Doctor. Rather than ignoring the widely panned…
In 2016, the influence of Big Tech was very beneficial to Republicans. Facebook’s complete refusal to remove any kind of misinformation helped propel Donald Trump to the White House. The GOP, however, has spent much of the last 4 years slamming social media companies. Donald Trump, himself, has been especially upset about Twitter slapping fact…
The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic largely took place in certain areas of the country. The hardest hit states were full of Democrats with New York, Washington state and New Jersey being hit the hardest. The second wave, which is happening right now, has been hitting every state in the Union. Those hardest hit…
The last time a pandemic hit the United States was during the 1918 Spanish Flu. And with pandemics only hitting the country every one hundred years or so, it can be difficult for the government to figure out the best way to handle it. One thing is for certain, though, few could have handled it…
In late 2015, early 2016, nearly 20 contenders fought it out for the Republican nomination. Many of them had significant political experience, working as senators, congresspeople or governors of large states. But in the end, GOP voters picked a failed businessman and reality television show host to be their standard bearer. It worked out well…
The principles of the Black Lives Matter movement are clearly stated on the organization’s website. The BLM website reads, “Our intention from the very beginning was to connect Black people from all over the world who have a shared desire for justice to act together in their communities.” Still, Conservative media has painted the group…
Fox News host Tucker Carlson praised the teen who shot and killed two protesters in Kenosha, WI for “maintaining order.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci has spent his entire medical career helping people survive. Whether he was fighting the AIDS virus or Ebola, the renowned immunologist did his job in a completely apolitical manner. Donald Trump, however, has politicized the COVID-19 pandemic. And in turn, the surrogates of the President have seen fit to attack Fauci. Among…

Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth (D) responded to Fox News personality Tucker Carlson, telling him to “walk a mile in my legs” after he criticized her calls for a “national dialogue” on the removal of memorials to President George Washington. Last night, Carlson suggested Duckworth––who lost her legs during a 2004 combat mission in Iraq––and other…
Tammy Duckworth has blasted Fox News’ Tucker Carlson after he claimed she didn’t love the United States. Duckworth lost her legs fighting in Iraq and was quick to remind him of her sacrifice.

Fox News personality Tucker Carlson is facing a wave of criticism after using the classic PBS show Sesame Street as an example of “decades of relentless propaganda.” “All of it designed to make us feel that we have no right to stand up for ourselves, to stand up for our country,†he said. “We are too…
Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed that “young children do not spread the coronavirus” and was fact-checked live on his own show by his guest, Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel. “And now to the latest science. There is new evidence that young children do not spread the coronavirus. Not what we thought,” Carlson said…
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is spreading more of Trump’s death cult mentality as he proclaimed that the economy is more important than living.
A Republican senator thinks the U.S. economy must be reopened despite the threat of Covid-19. Louisiana’s John Kennedy accepted this would cause the virus to spread even further.

Speaking on his Fox News program, Tucker Carlson argued that Joe Biden’s “fading intellect is not a handicap” but “an opportunity” for the Democratic leadership to “control” him should he win November’s general election. “To the cynical and darkly clever people who run the Democratic Party. Biden’s fading intellect is not a handicap. It’s an…
Tucker Carlson used his Fox News show to argue that impeachment is a “deep state” conspiracy because Russia poses no threat to the US.
A shocking report revealing demented sexist comments made by Fox News host Tucker Carlson has raised new questions about whether advertisers will continue to stick by his show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight.†On video clips uncovered by Media Matters for America, Carlson is heard saying things like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are “two of the…
For some unknown reason it took a Swiss newspaper to discover how Tucker Carlson really feels about Donald Trump. In an interview with “Die Weltwoche,†Switzerland’s leading German-language weekly, the Fox News host was very blunt: “I don’t think he’s capable,†he said. Carlson also made clear that he strongly dislikes the self-aggrandizement and boasting…
After less than two months in the White House, Trump is now claiming the problems he talked about during the campaign no longer exist.
“I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with a U.S. Senator meeting with an ambassador from Russia,” he said.
Only Republican racists are comfortable saying out loud that an African American protesting racial injustice “is a terrible thing.”
“The whole thing was bizarre, starting from the like gender neutral bathrooms, which are disgusting. I mean I guess we’re liberated by this?”
“The headline of the week so far is, this convention is not a disaster, which is a massive victory for Trump.”
The two men got worked up over armed EPA agents, ignoring of course the threat of armed anti-government conservatives like Cliven Bundy
Right-wing media is using Baltimore Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby’s gender against her by publishing demeaning and sexist stories.
Father Jonathan Morris took to Fox & Friends to push fear of eternal damnation while ignoring the Constitution’s No Religious Test Clause
As FFF is fond of pointing out, ratings is not truth. It’s ironic that Ailes compares Fox “News” to 2 fictional channels and a sports network, the models of which Fox resembles far more than a “News” channel.
Last week Tucker Carlson proved he isn’t a real journalist (which may be why he’s on Fox). This week he proved he’s running a frat house, a topic in the news lately for systemic sexism, not to mention racism.
This week’s Friday Fox Follies takes on Tucker Carlson’s refusal to allow anyone who works for him to criticize Fox News.
Friday Fox Follies highlights Bill O’Reilly’s continued issues with the truth, Andrea Tantaros accusing the White House of being anti-Semitic and Fox’s hypocritical Ferguson coverage.
When Friday Fox Follies went to press last week, Brian Williams’ spectacular crash to earth still echoed in Halls of Mediazuma. Many wags (this one included) noticed the condemnation was loudest (shrillest?) at the Fox “News” Channel, which did not hold itself to the same high standards.
For the umpteenth year in a row, Fox News more wrong than ever: New Politifact review finds pundits spewing mostly lies.
During Sunday morning’s broadcast of Fox & Friends, co-host Charles Payne outlandishly claimed that the United States “saved the planet” and moved a billion people into the middle class by engaging in war across the globe.
During Wednesday morning’s episode of Fox & Friends, Peter Johnson, Jr. and Tucker Carlson said the Department of Justice investigation into Michael Brown’s death was discredited because they “sought advice” from radical Ferguson protester and livestreamer Bassem Masri.
It’s only taken 6 years of blindly throwing mud at the wall to see what sticks, but Fox “News” has finally invented Articles of Impeachment against President Obama — or, at the very least, figured out a way to throw the word around recklessly.
Welcome to The Friday Fox Follies, a new weekly feature at PoliticusUSA. Each week Headly Westerfield will wrap up the Fox “News” tomfoolery and shenanigans (as the dictionary defines those words) into one neat little package with a bow.
“We control 30 governorships, we control 26 state houses and senates chambers. You know, we, in fact, know how to speak to women on their policy issues.”
The Obama Bombshell video has done nothing but discredit the peddlers on the Right on multiple levels. Their days of ACORNing their opponents are numbered.
comments to Philadelphia Eagle’s owner Jeff Lurie regarding the team giving Michael Vick a second chance after he completed his federal prison sentence for running a dog fighting ring. to Philadelphia Eagle’s owner Jeff Lurie regarding the team giving Michael Vick a second chance after he completed his federal prison sentence for running a dog fighting ring, but many Americans do not think it is appropriate that Michael Vick was given a second chance and it reflects a long-standing belief that convicted felons are not worthy of the same rights as all Americans. A valid question is; would Vick have been given a second chance if he wasn’t a star athlete? The answer is most certainly no based on hiring practices across the country, and it is especially true now that employers can easily make background checks on applicants in a matter of minutes.
