Fox and Friends Trump-Fluffers are Dumbstruck When Told the Truth About Trump Losing in Iran

The propaganda machine of Donald Trump and his Gaslighting Gang is spinning furiously to deceive the American people about what is happening in Iran. For the most part , the only people being deceived are Trump’s gullible flock of cult disciples who have been brainwashed to believe what ever he says.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

It’s difficult to keep track of the number of times that Trump has declared that a ceasefire was agreed to with Iran, followed shortly by renewed bombing. Now in its fourth month, the war that Trump promised would take only days continues to rage despite his insistence that Iran’s military has been completely destroyed, and then destroyed again, and again, and…

SEE THIS: BREAKING? The Iran War Will End in ‘Days’ According to Trump, Who Has Been Saying that for Months

Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – is playing its part in these deceptions. But even they are finding it harder to maintain their composure when confronted with inconvenient truths by their own guests. For example, on Sunday morning conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg was invited to join the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends for what they thought would be a friendly chat about Trump’s “victorious” misadventures in Iran. It didn’t go well from the start, with co-host Griff Jenkins saying that…

“The way the administration sees it, and president Trump, is ‘We can go as long as we want. And ultimately finishing it for good is on the table.'”

What Jenkins was referring to was Trump’s recent genocidal threat that “Iran will no longer exist” if they violated the ceasefire agreement that Trump has already violated. But rather than getting the expected blind concurrence, Rosenberg went rogue, saying that…

“We can’t go for as long as we want. Clearly the gas prices are too high. Midterms are coming up. Look, let’s have an honest discussion about this…We haven’t won anything yet. I’m sorry Mr. President to break the news. But we haven’t won anything yet. There’s no end to this. We’re kind of in the same exact place we were a couple of months ago. They’re still striking us. We’re still striking them. Israel is still nervous. And quite frankly, American voters are still nervous. So how do you claim victory when the game is far from over? We’re in the 6th inning.”

The Fox Friends were visibly stunned into silence. They couldn’t refute Rosenberg, so they didn’t even bother to respond. Rosenberg went on to discuss how Trump keeps threatening Iran, but that they don’t care and are not being compelled to make any concessions. Rosenberg also noted that there is no actual deal, only a vague memorandum of understanding that promises Iran billions of dollars while committing them to nothing but opening the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before Trump started all of this.

This illustrates how hard it is for Fox News to keep up their propaganda. But they are nothing if not determined. Yesterday they interviewed White House deputy press secretary, Abigail Jackson, who rattled off some blatantly false talking points and the preposterous assertion that “Trump has been right about everything on Iran.”

This White House flack says that "Trump has been right about everything on Iran.""Their military has been totally destroyed." WRONG!"The Strait [of Hormuz] is open." WRONG!"Oil and gas prices came down." WRONG!The question is: Has Trump been right about ANYTHING? [NOPE]

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-27T09:23:25.487Z

Which is the sort of painfully obvious nonsense that we can expect from Fox News, who also said this on the unrelated subject of Trump’s disastrous “Freedumb 250” fair in Washington, D.C…

FOX NEWS BEING FOX NEWS:Reporting at Trump's "Freedumb 250" flop that "We've got thousands of people celebrating," while the video shows a few dozen lost tourists.And he hopes that a lot of them went home to watch this fiasco on Fox. So they can hear him lie about it? ?????

Lying Fox News Gets Schooled on X After Quoting Trump Lying About Oil Flowing Out of Hormuz

The regularity with which Fox News disseminates wholly fabricated fantasies on behalf of their Republican benefactors has been a hallmark of their so-called “journalism” from its inception thirty years ago.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

If anything, they have become even more consistently dishonest as the years went by. Particularly since they adopted an obsequious affinity for the notoriously pathological liar, Donald Trump. And Trump’s deceit has grown exponentially with regard to his reckless and illegal war against Iran.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

On Tuesday morning Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, bragging about his imaginary successes in his Middle East misadventures. He said that…

“19 Million Barrels of Oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait yesterday, an all time RECORD. Oil prices are tumbling down, and the World is a much safer place!!!”

Virtually everything in that comment is untrue. Oil prices are still much higher than they were before the war. The oil is not flowing smoothly through the Hormuz Strait. And the world is hardly safer with Iran getting billions of dollars as a result of Trump’s “peace deal” that they are free to spend on new military equipment and funding for terrorists groups, but with few concessions on their part.

Shortly after Trump posted that comment, Fox News reported it on their X/Twitter account. They prefaced it by saying that “Trump is celebrating what he says was a record day for oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.”

Unfortunately for Fox News, their focus on Trump’s assertion about the “all time record” for oil flowing through the Strait got a fact check by the moderators on X/Twitter. A “community Note” was attached to the post that said simply that “Pre-war, 20 million barrels passed through the gulf each day, on average.”

So not only was it not a record, it didn’t even match the average for pre-war oil flow. Even worse, as reported by Fortune, “US Central Command said on Saturday that 17 million barrels had passed through Hormuz.” So even according to the military leadership under Trump, the oil flow was less than both average flow, and the lie that Trump told.

This is another example of the multilayered patchwork of lies by Trump and his MAGA media minions that have become routine. And when we add them to his lies about everything from the economy, to immigration, to his many tributes to himself (ballrooms, reflecting pools, triumphal arches, etc.) we end up with a compendium of concoctions that don’t come close to passing the smell test.

And yet, Trump’s cult continues to believe whatever he tells them. And his MAGA media continues to regurgitate what they know are flagrant falsehoods. But the good news is that the majority of the American people have seen through Trump’s deceptions and regularly dismiss them. Which is why his approval ratings are what are really in record territory, on the low side. November can’t come soon enough.

Fox News Reflecting Pool ‘Media Frenzy’ Story Features Trump as ‘MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH’

The continuing saga of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. has taken a firm hold on the limited attention spans of Donald Trump and his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. They both make mentions of it nearly every day, mostly to praise Trump’s obviously inept management of the project.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Fox News, Fake News

In less than three weeks since Trump declared his “renovation” complete, the Reflecting Pool had devolved into a swampy mess of algae and peeling paint and coating materials. So after spending upwards of $14 million on the unnecessary undertaking, it is likely going to cost millions more to repair the damage that Trump caused. And in the meantime, Trump is blaming the problems, for which he was solely responsible, on imaginary vandals.

SEE THIS: Trump’s US Attorney in DC, Jeanine Pirro, Threatens Journalist for ‘Vandalizing’ Reflecting Pool

Making matters worse, Fox News is running stories on the Swamp Pool that make no sense at all. On an episode of Fox’s “Big Weekend Show,” They had a segment on what they called the “MEDIA OBSESSION,” over Trump’s miserable makeover. Their subtitle for the segment was “Reflection Pool Sends Far-Left Media Into a Frenzy.” And as a bonus, the video included a picture of a protester with a sign that read “”MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH.”

Fox News says there is a "MEDIA OBSESSION" sending the "FAR-LEFT MEDIA INTO A FRENZY" over Trump's fouled up "renovation" of the Reflecting Pool. (With a bonus shot of a "MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH" poster).Wait up…Who's obsessed? Trump's been all over this for weeks.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-22T09:05:41.803Z

No one with a rational perspective of Trump’s reoccupation of the White House will argue with the sentiment on the protester’s sign. However, everything else in the Fox News story was preposterous.

It is Trump who has been obsessed with the Reflection Pool and his “mutilization” (his word) of it. He has been bringing out a giant poster of the Pool during press avails, on totally unrelated matters, that show that the length of the Pool is greater than the height of several tall buildings. To which a sane observer would ask, “So what?” But he apparently thinks it’s important enough to interrupt discussions of everything from his illegal war against Iran (that he’s losing), to the state of the U.S. economy (that’s he’s wrecking).

In addition to putting the Pool con job front and center at every public event Trump attends, he is posting about it relentlessly on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. Among the comments he posted are baseless claims that vandals sabotaged the Pool, for which he doesn’t bother to provide any evidence. Bear in mind that there are dozens of cameras all around the Pool, so if there was any vandalism, there would be ample proof of it.

In another comment Trump asked “who would do such a thing? SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE!” And with a curious question mark also seemed to be asking “We will fix it?” And he also announced that “Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool.” Once again, there is zero evidence of that. But that hasn’t deterred Trump from threatening many years in prison for the mythical miscreants.

If anyone is truly interested in apprehending and punishing the person(s) responsible for defiling the Reflecting Pool, here is a tip: He currently resides and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., although he spends quite a bit of time at a fancy resort in Palm Beach, Florida called Mar-a-Lago. Let’s see if the authorities can track down this malignant, anti-American perpetrator.

YEAH, SURE! Trump Tells Fox News He Spoke with Iranian Officials Who Love the Great Press They Get

The increasingly bad news for Donald Trump continues to spill out as his reckless and illegal war with Iran spirals out of control. In the past 24 hours Trump has whined that Iran isn’t capitulating quickly enough, but also that he has secured a complete peace agreement with Iran wherein the U.S. is getting everything it wants. They can’t both be true.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Even worse, the dementia of Trump is springing up with ever more frequency with each passing day. In addition to his routine dissemination of flagrant falsehoods and infantile insults, Trump is also having imaginary conversations that he relays to his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. And Fox dutifully reports whatever Trump says without question.

SEE THIS: Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News

On Thursday morning Trump did another one of his pajama phone-in interviews with the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. during their discussion Trump revealed some juicy details of an alleged phone call he had with unnamed Iranian “officials.” Trump said that…

“Behind the scenes I will tell you – they won’t even dispute it, although they probably would because it makes sense – They’re very good at publicity, but they’re not good at fighting. They can’t believe the press they get. They can’t even believe it. And they told me. They said, ‘It’s amazing how well we’re doing in the papers.’ We’re not doing so well. They’re negotiating with us to make a deal.”

Trump: "Behind the scenes I must tell you Iran can't believe the press they get. They can't even believe it. And they told me. They said, 'It's amazing how well we're doing in the papers. We're not doing so well–' They're negotiating with us to make a deal."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-06-11T13:03:32.090Z

Virtually every conversation that Trump claims to have had with Iran was promptly disputed shortly after Trump made the claim. This one is unlikely to be any different. Why would Iran ever consider bragging to Trump about getting good press coverage? Where exactly is that coverage? And notice that Trump says in the same breath that Iran would not dispute it, and also that they would. Which point is trying to make?

Furthermore, Trump praises Iran’s PR prowess, but disparages their fighting ability. Even though Iran has held off Trump’s assault for four months now, when he said that this war would be over in a matter of days. And while the war is broadly opposed by huge majorities of the American people – dragging down Trump’s approval ratings and the Republican Party’s electoral prospects – Trump can’t seem to figure out any way to get out of it.

Earlier Trump claimed to have “dropped $250 million of bombs” on Iran (a number that he plucked from his demented brain that is fixated on his U.S. birthday bash). So while the American people are struggling financially, Trump is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars for no benefit. he could have built another ballroom for that.

Trump also said that Iranians had called him in the White House Situation Room last night asking him to stop the bombing (that hadn’t started yet). However, cell phones are strictly prohibited in the Situation Room. So that was another imaginary conversation.

Closing up the interview, Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt told Trump not to worry because “Our viewers are watching Fox. So they see this coverage. They’re not reading the New York Times “ Which is an unusually honest appraisal of the Fox News audience that is deeply indoctrinated into the Trump cult and oblivious to any other source of information. Especially information that is truthful and aligned with reality. It was nice of Earhardt to admit that.

Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News

There really is no one who does more damage to Donald Trump than Donald Trump. With every public appearance he makes he pours out buckets of bullpucky that is decidedly detrimental, with an emphasis on the “mental.”

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

Saturday night Trump courageously exposed himself to a potential PR disaster by agreeing to be interviewed by the most intimidating inquisitor on Fox News, Lara Trump. Who just happens to also be his daughter-in-lawlessness. And that family connection is being actively exploited as Lara’s husband Eric is threatening to file a defamation lawsuit against Jen Psaki and MS NOW, Lara and Fox’s competition.

SEE THIS: JUST LIKE DADDY: Eric Trump Threatens to Sue MS NOW and Jen Psaki for Telling the Truth About Him

During the father/daughter-in-law interview, Trump dropped some juicy news bites. And as always, they were more revealing of his own personality disorders, than of anything derogatory he intended about his perceived enemies. What follows are a few of those nuggets of Trump’s dementia.

FIRST: For the umpteenth time Trump basked in the glory of how beloved he is as shown in a poll that doesn’t exist.

Despite incessantly insulting CNN as “fake news,” Trump made a point of praising their data analyst, Harry Enten, who had nothing to do with the NBC poll, other than to refer to it. He has also misrepresented the findings that showed Trump’s approval is only 66% among Republicans. So a third (31%) of his own party doesn’t approve of him. Also notable is the wretch-inducing painting in the background for this interview that took place in the White House foyer.

SECOND: Trump sought to display how knowledgeable he is about America’s voting processes.

Never mind that Trump got literally everything wrong. Of course, it isn’t the first time he’s done that. He recently claimed that if Jesus came down and counted the votes in California, he would have won the notoriously Democratic state.

THIRD: Trump’s dementia was on full display as he contradicted himself within seconds about his alleged successes in Iran.

Trump has been claiming to have totally obliterated Iran’s military since the first few days of his reckless and illegal war. And he has been promising that the war’s end is just days away. Which he has been promising for months.

FOURTH: Perhaps most bizarre is Trump’s proof that he is intellectually superior to us mere mortals.
He tells Lara that most people don’t know that the word “dumb” ends with a “B.” However, Trump watchers know that whenever he says something about what other people don’t know, it’s really something that he just learned himself.

Throughout this parade of pitiful pompousness, Lara never asked a single follow up question or challenged the obviously lies told by her sugardaddy-in-law. But as the host on Trump’s State TV Ministry of Propaganda, would would she?

Trump Freaks Out Over Kennedy Center Ruling – Gets Fluffed by Maria Bartiromo on Fox News

By now everyone knows how easy it is to trigger Donald Trump into doing or saying something profoundly stupid, or worse, manifestly harmful to the reputation and/or well being of the United States. As Hillary Clinton presciently warned nine years ago, “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.”

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump

The inherent risks in coddling Trump’s flawed personality disorders have been witnessed repeatedly in his irrational overreactions to everything from Iran’s failure to submit to his toothless threats, to his demands that late night comedians like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel be censored or banned from television. Even Fox News noticed that emotionally weak leaders should not be given destructive powers.

SEE THIS: Fox News Warns Against Giving the Nuclear Codes to Mentally Declining Presidents – Like Trump?

This week Trump’s psychological stability was challenged when a federal judge ruled that adding his name to the Kennedy Center was illegal and that he must remove it and cease plans to shut it down for unnecessary renovations. As reported by The Guardian

“A judge on Friday ordered the removal of Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, ruling that the prestigious Washington DC venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress…[US district judge Christopher] Cooper also temporarily blocked the center from closing this summer for proposed renovations, two months after Trump announced its two-year closure.”

Shortly after that ruling was announced, Trump took to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to plaintively cry about what a pathetic victim he is. The post was so long that it would be a monumental waste of time to read it. But it contained a few morsels of insight into just how demented Trump is.

WARNING: Do not read without a strong tolerance for BLLSHT!This is Trump's tirade after a judge ruled that adding his name to the Kennedy Center was illegal, ordering it to be removed, and halting his plans to shut it down for renovations. It's more than he's ever written about helping Americans.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-30T09:43:27.430Z

Trump repeated the same or similar post three times within 24 hours. He used more than half of his harangue (385 out of 723 words) to attack the judge’s wife as “an anti Trump Hater.” He whined that “Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else…I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into “NEVER NEVER LAND.” And his ludicrous argument against the ruling was that “a large Board of some of the most distinguished people in the Country voted unanimously to put the name up. I didn’t do it, the Board did.”

For the record, Trump’s argument had not only already been rejected by the court, it is grossly dishonest. As was also reported by the The Guardian…

“Shortly after taking office last year, Trump sparked controversy when he appointed himself chair of the Kennedy Center’s board of trustees in February, calling it a ‘take-over’. He purged the board and replaced them with his own appointees. The board of the Kennedy Center then voted in favor of the proposal to add Trump’s name in December, culminating an aggressive effort of his administration to remake Washington’s arts and culture institutions to his liking.”

Not surprisingly, Fox News quickly leaped to Trump’s defense. Their official Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, who herself is a Trump appointee on the Center’s board, was outraged on his behalf. So she tweeted that…

“The board already approved the name change @kencen the way these judges go after @realDonaldTrump is absolutely sick and the history books will reveal how sick and un American they are -Grow Up & stop wasting everyone’s time on your politics.”

REALLY? Bartiromo is either lying (again), or is pitifully ignorant of the facts noted above. What’s more, she was cited multiple times for her flagrant lying in the defamation lawsuit that cost Fox News $787 million for lying about the 2020 presidential election being “rigged” by Dominion Software. That’s likely to be more prominent in history books than whatever she is complaining about now.

As for “wasting everyone’s time on politics,” what does she think Trump is doing with his relentless self-aggrandizing efforts to exalt himself at the Kennedy Center, as well as the Institute of Peace, his golden vanity ballroom, his triumphal arch, and his new proposal to put his scowling mug on a $250.00 bill? Which ironically would just remind people of what it costs to fill their tank, pay for housing, get health insurance, or buy groceries.

Bartiromo’s tweet just parroted Trump’s rant, including his claims about his Board of Flunkies and his attacks on the judge’s wife. She concluded by asking “Do they not realize [America] wants @realDonaldTrump to win?” Considering that Trump’s approval rating is sitting at record lows, you have to wonder what fantasy world she resides in?

Fox News Warns Against Giving the Nuclear Codes to Mentally Declining Presidents – Like Trump?

Throughout the presidential campaign of 2024, Donald Trump and the Republican Party focused obsessively on the perceived weaknesses of President Biden, despite the fact that he had dropped out of the race. They made mental health a key factor for choosing a national leader.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

What they didn’t count on was that Trump’s own mental health would prominently figure into his own presidency. For severely years now he has been remotely diagnosed by knowledgeable professionals as a malignant narcissist, whose acute sociopathy and egocentrism combine for a potent psychological elixir of dysfunction that poses profound risks for the nation and the world. And Trump’s mental well being doesn’t compare favorably with that of his predecessor…

SEE THIS: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

Consequently, Trump is making things very difficult for his fluffers at Fox News. When the figurehead of what was once the Republican Party – now the MAGA Cult – is an octogenarian with obvious physical and mental impairments, it becomes much harder for the devotees of that cult to unleash rote criticisms based on flaws typically associated with age and intellect.

Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway (of “alternative facts” fame), who was Trump’s campaign manager in 2016 and served in the White House during his first term, was a guest on Laura Ingraham’s program Thursday night. During her segment she made some comments that might have struck some people as peculiar for a loyal Trumpist. She said that…

“This happens to many of us, right? People that we love fall into decline physically, mentally. That’s okay. That’s life. What happens is you have to let them live out their lives quietly, in peace with dignity with their families. Enjoy the grandchildren. You don’t give them nuclear codes and the presidency of the United States.”

Without any further context, it might appear as if Conway was giving a warning about what is happening now with with Trump. It could have been said by any Democrat concerned about the declining mental health of the current occupant of the White House. However, Conway was actually attempting to denigrate President Biden. The fact that she missed her target so badly speaks to how serious Trump’s problems are.

There is, however, a significant difference between Biden and Trump. While Biden is now living quietly, in peace with dignity with his family, and enjoying his grandchildren, it is Trump who has the nuclear codes. And he is making daily threats with hostile intentions toward a variety of countries, including Iran, Oman, Cuba, and even Greenland.

What’s more, it is Trump who is exhibiting dangerous signs of instability. He has been caught sleeping though meetings that were being televised. He has been rambling incoherently in speeches and press avails. He has been behaving in a distinctly narcissistic manner, praising himself shamelessly for imaginary successes, and constructing public tributes that include statues and placing his scowling likeness on currency.

Yet somehow, Trump still manages to have convinced himself that he is in perfect health, mentally and physically. Never mind that he still hasn’t released the reports from his most recent annual physical exam, his third in 13 months. That exam included yet another cognitive test that he boasts to having “aced.” It’s become a regular thing with Trump that he regards as evidence of his superior health. However, there is another interpretation that most Americans find more relevant…

Fox News Hypes Trump’s INSANE Homeland Security Plan to Halt International Flights to Blue Cities

One thing that has never been in short supply since Donald Trump reoccupied the White House are truly bizarre and boneheaded ideas that forebode catastrophes for America and the American people.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump baby with Fox News logo

Among Trump’s most boneheaded initiatives are his idiotic and inflationary tariffs, his obsession to build a gold-plated vanity ballroom, his $1.8 billion “weaponization” slush fund to reward violent, criminal seditionists, and his reckless and illegal war against Iran. Which is going about as well as you would imagine for a war run by a wannabe dictator with acute mental impairment.

SEE THIS: BREAKING? The Iran War Will End in ‘Days’ According to Trump, Who Has Been Saying that for Months

This week Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, provided a brand new notion that stretches the margins of MAGA madness. During a typically friendly “interview” by Sean Hannity on Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News), Mullin threatened to prohibit all international air travel into the United States from landing in what the DHS has deemed are “sanctuary cities.”

“We are currently drawing up plans to say, listen, in these sanctuary cities where the local radical left Democrats aren’t allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn’t be processing international flights into their cities.”

More proof the Trump regime has gone full fascist.Trump's DHS boss thinks government can tell airlines where they can operate based on politics.Prohibiting flights into New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle, etc., will send the national economy into a death spiral.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-27T08:47:42.153Z

REALLY? That may be the dumbest of the impressive array of dumbfuckery that the Trump regime has unloaded to date. First of all, it is government intrusion into private enterprise that the airline industry isn’t going to tolerate. Secondly, it is based entirely on political biases that adds a new layer of illegality to a plan that couldn’t pass constitutional muster anyway. Thirdly, it would send the nation into an economic tailspin, causing irreparable harm to every business associated with travel and hospitality. Just what the already faltering economy needs.

Coming just prior to the U.S. hosting the World Cup and the Olympics – and the expected massive influx of world travelers to America – compounds the idiocy of it all. Anyone could see just how ridiculous such an action would be. Well, anyone but the Trump-fluffers in the MAGA media. So how did Fox News respond to this preposterous proposal? By worshipfully embracing it like good cult minions. This is what Harris Faulkner, co-host of Fox’s “Outnumbered” had to say…

“The latest DHS list of current sanctuary cities includes Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco. and along with Newark, all of those airports handle 1,100 international flights per day, carrying around 185,000 passengers.

“Well, they’re not just gonna not fly. They’re gonna go to places where they’re not sanctuary districts. They’re gonna go to red states and cities. And what will that look like? A boon for the red states. And again, people will just hate living in blue states.”

HOLY TOLEDO! Well, not Toledo. That’s a “blue” city. Along with those Faulkner itemized above, and the District of Columbia, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, New Orleans, Las Vegas, San Diego, and Tucson. In fact, it was difficult to find any major cities with international airports that are “red” cities.

Does Faulkner and Fox News really believe that international travelers are going to be happy to fly into Boise, Jacksonville, Omaha, or Tulsa (all lovely cities), rather than New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago? Would they have to catch limited connecting flights to the destinations that they really want to visit? How would that be a “boon” for red cities, other than to create a lot more work for law enforcement and hospitals due to the intolerable and dangerous traffic jams at their inadequate airports?

The morning after his Hannity appearance, Mullin was back on Fox News reiterating his redlining of blue cities threat. It’s difficult to imagine that they would ever actually go through with it. But it is more proof that these Trumpists never think anything through beyond a preliminary assessment of whether or not their audience is stupid enough to believe them.

Which they don’t really have to worry about because the Fox audience has been brainwashed to the point of having such squeaky clean brains that they will buy whatever they are told by their MAGA masters.

Fox News Loses Bid to Halt Gavin Newsom’s Defamation Lawsuit for Knowingly Spreading Trump Lies

The mission of Fox News to act as the Ministry of Propaganda for Donald Trump has produced some of the most blatantly dishonest “reporting” ever published by a media outlet. The network shamelessly defends whatever Trump does no matter how bizarre or unlawful, and regurgitates whatever he says without regard to his deliberate diversions from reality.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom

As a result of Fox’s abandonment of any shred of journalistic ethics, they were forced to settle a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting systems for a whopping $787 million dollars. It might be reasonable to assume that that sort of penalty would dissuade Fox News from repeating their deceitful practices. But to Fox News that’s just the cost of doing their brand of disreputable business. And just a couple of years later they were at it again…

SEE THIS: Gov. Gavin Newsom is Suing Fox News for $787 Million for Lying About a Phone Call with Trump

That’s right, California Gov. Newsom filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News seeking precisely the same amount in damages from Fox as they settled for in the Dominion case. It all stems from an episode wherein Jesse Watters – the undisputed stupidest man on Fox News – flagrantly lied about an alleged phone call between Newsom and Trump.

Newsom’s case revolves around a Trump claim that Trump called Newsom to tell him that he was “doing a bad job” handling protests against ICE, and that “Los Angeles would be burning” if he had not deployed the National Guard. However, not only did Trump never deliver that message, he never even made that phone call.

Undeterred by the truth, Watters played an edited clip of Trump’s claims and asked, “Why would Newsom lie and claim Trump never called him?” The show also displayed a chyron that said “Gavin Lied About Trump’s Call.” Those were the words of Watters making an allegedly factual representation of what took place. But the record is clear that Newsom wasn’t the one that was lying about the call. And that was even confirmed in Watters’ own segment where he displayed a screenshot of Trump’s actual call history.

In other words, Watters and Fox News were lying – again. Newsom gave them a formal opportunity to retract their lies and apologize, which they refused to do. So Newsom followed through with his promise to sue for defamation. And this week Fox News got some bad news about their efforts to have the lawsuit dismissed…

“Gov. Gavin Newsom scored a small legal victory in his defamation case against Fox News and host Jesse Watters, as a Delaware judge ruled that his &787 million lawsuit can move forward.

“‘Looking forward to discovery,’ the California governor responded Thursday in an X post.”

“Judge Sean P. Lugg found it ‘reasonably conceivable’ that Fox intentionally pushed false claims about Newsom when accusing him of lying about a phone call with Donald Trump during protests in Los Angeles.”

Newsom is right to be looking forward to the discovery process. That was how Dominion found a multitude of incriminating evidence against Fox News, including emails and other communications that revealed the dishonesty of Fox hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and others, who were caught admitting to lying about Trump. It would be safe to bet that there is more such evidence that could be acquired in Newsom’s case.

Tucker Carlson was fired shortly after Fox settled with Dominion. Maybe Watters should be updating his resumé. And while Newsom may not take this case to trial (Fox will most likely settle), it could prove to be a bonanza for media analysts eager to learn more about the inner workings of the ultra-rightist, Trump-fluffing network.

Unfortunately, what develops from this case will most likely, once again, fail to reign in Fox’s lies and propaganda. That’s pretty much the whole business model of Fox News. Which is something that they have in common with Trump.

Trump-Fluffing Media Mogul is Hosting a ‘Tribute’ Dinner for Anti-Media, Wannabe Dictator Trump

The seething animosity that Donald Trump fosters for the free press has been a defining characteristic of his warped, anti-democratic persona for as long as he has been in public life. He even published an anti-media page on the White House website. Ironically, he has also had an enduring dependency on the very same press for the constant attention he craves and that fuels his massive yet fragile ego.

Donald Trump

In a shameless attempt to kiss the…let’s say ring…of Herr Trump, billionaire media mogul and CEO of the Paramount Skydance conglomerate (which owns CBS), David Ellison, will be hosting a dinner Friday night to pay tribute to Trump for rolling over so compliantly and approving Ellison’s bid to takeover Warner Bros. Discovery (which owns CNN). Ellison has previously “paid” tribute to Trump in the form of millions of dollars in bribes to grease the wheels of his merger bid.

Now, on the eve of the White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual gala, Ellison is fluffing Trump and his ego once again. As reported by Variety

“David Ellison, whose Paramount Skydance is awaiting closure of its massive deal to swallow up Warner Bros. Discovery, will host an invitation-only dinner next week ‘honoring’ President Donald Trump and CBS News’ White House correspondents, Variety has confirmed.

The event will take place in Washington, D.C., on April 23, two days before the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday, April 25. The Ellison-hosted function will be held at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, which the State Department in December 2025 announced was being renamed ‘The Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.'”

The optics of this tribute dinner couldn’t be more disturbing. Ellison is brazenly exhibiting his bias for Trump and his MAGA cult movement. That bias has already been evident in the reporting by CBS, where its 60 Minutes program interfered with segments that were critical of Trump. What’s more, CBS has invited Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, and Senior Neo-Fascist, Stephen Miller, to be their guests at the WHCA’s dinner on Saturday.

How can anyone take seriously any dedication to honest, unbiased reporting by an organization displaying this much blatant political favoritism? It is also notable that while Ellison has plenty of time to suck up to Trump with patronizing dinners, he was unable to make time to appear before a congressional hearing probing Paramount’s efforts to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, that has numerous potential anti-trust violations.

Meanwhile, Ellison’s aspirations for autocratic media dominance are not a done deal. California Attorney General Rob Bonta will be conducting a “vigorous” review of Paramount’s pending acquisition. There will be similar reviews by legal authorities in other states, as well as internationally.

So the Trump regime’s takeover of the free press will be facing significant obstacles. And in the end they will have succeeded only in severely degrading the public’s trust in the institutions that align with Trump.
