Fox News is TERRIFIED of How Awful Trump is Doing Prior to His State of the Union Lie Fest

Posted by on February 23, 2026 at 1:46 pm. 0 Comments :

Every public appearance by Donald Trump is an opportunity for him to disseminate another bunch of flagrant falsehoods that are designed to manufacture a fantasy world wherein he is not merely a strong leader, but the savior of all mankind. He desperately yearns to be perceived as the infallible and divinely anointed Messiah of MAGA.

Consequently, the annual State of Union address is a profoundly significant event that has the potential to make or break a president, depending on how they perform, and how the public perceives it. In Trump’s case it is another chance to deceive America with ludicrous claims of fictitious accomplishments, rancid insults aimed at his many perceived political enemies, tiresome repetitions of imagined offenses, and egomaniacal exaltations of his delusional magnificence.

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is feverishly working to promote Dear Leader prior to his big day before Congress and the nation. And who better than Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, to spearhead the effort to pump up Trump. So on her morning program on Monday she unloaded this bit of buffoonery…

“It’s incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump’s success – he’s been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast – that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union. Adam Schiff, Mr. Russia Collusion himself, said he’s not gonna show up to the State of the Union tomorrow night.”

Maria Bartiromo: "It's incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump's success, he's been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union."

Bartiromo is right. Trump has been incredibly successful. At exacerbating inflation; at raising the cost of living for everyone but the rich; at causing healthcare premiums to skyrocket; at terrorizing law-abiding residents of Democratic run cities; at decimating regulations that mitigate the harm of Climate Change; at blowing up boats with potentially innocent fisherman in the Caribbean; at alienating America’s international allies, while embracing authoritarian foes; at undermining the First Amendment and suppressing the free press; and at destroying the Republican Party and any hopes they had of maintaining their majorities in Congress.

What’s more, Bartiromo is demonstrating that she is just as out of touch with the American people as Trump is. She appears to be utterly unaware that Trump’s standing among voters is historically low. On Monday morning CNN’s polling analyst, Harry Enten, observed that Trump is floundering in deeply negative territory.

“Trump’s net approval rating, look at all the pre-SOTU polls…negative 27 points…Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2018, in term one going into those State of the Unions…way lower now. The bottom line is this: Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union address, according to our CNN polling, than he is right now. And weaker by a considerable amount. [And] Trump isn’t just weaker than he’s ever been going into a State of the Union address, he’s weaker than any other president this century going into a State of the Union address at this point in their second term.”

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating. Look at the pre-SOTU polls. Look at that — negative 27 points! My goodness gracious. Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2017 — minus 10, way lower now. The bottom line is Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-23T13:35:59.999Z

Bartiromo is obviously taking her cues from Trump himself. He is fervently gaslighting the nation, telling reporters on Monday that “We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had.” But with nonsense like that he’s just reminding voters, who know better, that he is woefully out of touch with their lives. Democrats are likely to be hoping that he keeps telling these lies, because he’s really helping their electoral prospects in November.

As for the State of the Union, there is a respite for those who don’t want to be tortured by another hour or two of Trump spitting lies and rage-whining. As Bartiromo was kind enough to point out, MeidasTouch and MoveOn are hosting a People’s State of the Union. And Kid Rock is guaranteed not to be there.

For those Boycotting the State of the Union, MoveOn and MeidasTouch are hosting the People’s State of the Union. Let’s unite at this live event for an uplifting and powerful purpose. ???

Disgraced CBS News Is Intent On Keeping a Known Jeffrey Epstein Associate On Its News Team

Posted by on February 16, 2026 at 1:46 pm. 0 Comments :

One of the core missions of Donald Trump in his second occupation of the White House has been the total subjugation of the free press. He has assaulted it with retributive prosecutions, meritless lawsuits, and always infantile insults aimed at honest journalists (mostly women) who had the audacity to report the truth about him.

Donald Trump on CBS News (See BS)

Sadly, Trump has had some success in that brazenly fascist undertaking due to the cowardice and/or complicity of some the big media conglomerates who feared Trump’s retribution or who were feebly seeking favor from the corrupt and self-serving Trump regime. Their subservience has been evident in their groveling concessions to settle ludicrous legal disputes by paying millions of dollars in phony damages – aka bribes. And none has more obviously knelt down to Herr Trump than the toadies at Paramount.

SEE THIS: Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

Now CBS has embarked on a new and more insidious scandal involving a sleazy “doctor,” Peter Attia, with known ties to child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, that he admits. CBS is owned by Paramount, which in turn is owned by Trump’s buddy and fellow billionaire, Larry Ellison. His corporate monolith is now seeking, via a hostile stock bid, to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, which owns, among other things, CNN. Trump has already given his blessing to that proposed merger, despite the fact that Warner has accepted an offer from Netflix. Perhaps that’s because Ellison promised to make changes that Trump wants.

Shortly after Ellison merged his company with Skydance Media, owned by his son, David, they installed the notoriously right-wing blogger, Bari Weiss, to run CBS News, even though she had zero experience or qualifications to assume that position. Her brief tenure has already seen her make some abhorrent decisions, including censoring CBS’ 60 Minutes by nixing a segment on the El Salvador torture camp that Trump has been sending migrants to.

A few weeks ago Weiss announced that she was going to hire a bunch of MAGA-tized cronies from her Internet website to join CBS News. Among them was the disreputable “doctor” Attia. But that announcement was quickly marred by a revelation that ought to have doomed his appointment. According to The Guardian…

“Two weeks after a trove of files revealed extensive – and inappropriate – communications between Jeffrey Epstein and a recently named CBS News contributor, the longevity expert Peter Attia, the network appears to have settled on keeping him. […] Attia is one of the 19 on-air contributors that editor-in-chief Bari Weiss said she was ‘so excited’ to announce.” […]

“[O]n 30 January, the justice department’s release of millions of documents showed that Attia had expressed a fondness for Epstein and used extremely graphic language in at least one email to him. That Attia had met with Epstein was previously known before CBS News hired him.”

Attia’s name appears in the Epstein files more than 1,800 times. His emails to Epstein express his unsettling affection for him, as well as his creepy concern that he “can’t tell a soul” about their unsavory friendship. He also recalls that he felt “spoiled after staying in your great place.” And yet, Attia defended the relationship saying that “I was not involved in any criminal activity.” Nevertheless, he went on to say that “I apologize and regret putting myself in a position where emails, some of them embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible, are now public.”

Notice that Attia is defending what he just called indefensible. And it appears that the only problem he has with any of it is that it became public. How Weiss and the Ellisons can continue to justify the hiring of this slimeball is incomprehensible. But it is consistent with the immorality that is the hallmark of the Era of Trump and the aversion to ethics that Trump represents and for which he is the role model of indecency. So Attia will fit right in.

UPDATE: Attia has quietly resigned from CBS News following the pressure from a broad array of bipartisan critics. Keep up the pressure on the MAGA media and all things Trump. IT WORKS!

UPDATE: Trump Hasn’t Updated His Much Ballyhooed White House Media Bias Web Page in Months

Posted by on February 15, 2026 at 2:16 pm. 0 Comments :

Nothing has been a bigger priority for Donald Trump during his occupation of the White House than denigrating the free press and taking aggressive actions to suppress it. He relentlessly insults any journalist with the courage to report the truth about him (especially women), and he works tirelessly to promote the Trump-fluffing media that adoringly exalts him no matter how humiliating or dangerous his actions are.

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

Late last year Trump directed his White House Internet team to create and post a web page that he said would expose the bias in the media. Of course, in Trump’s mind that meant only what he considered to be bias. Consequently, Trump’s media bias web page focused solely on news organizations that accurately documented his words and deeds, which invariably reflected negatively on him.

SEE THIS: The Trump White House Website Now Has a Page to Attack Media that Tells the Truth About Him

At the time that Trump’s media bias page was launched, it featured as it’s first target an article about the six members of Congress who appeared in a video wherein they reminded those in the military of their sworn duty to not comply with illegal orders. That resulted in the Trump regime seeking to prosecute them for sedition, with Trump saying that their alleged crime was “punishable by death.”

Trump’s efforts to assassinate sitting members of Congress for advocating following the law were recently foiled by a grand jury that rejected the attempt to indict them. But that has not deterred the Trump regime from it’s campaign to revoke the First Amendment. Now they are going after independent journalist, Don Lemon.

Meanwhile, Trump’s media bias web page moved on from the “illegal orders” story to one wherein they caught a gaffe by CNN’s Jake Tapper. He prematurely reported on December 4th that a suspect in the Washington, D.C. pipe bomb case was White. When more details became available, Tapper corrected the story. However, the White House media bias web page has not been updated since then.

So Trump’s media bias web page has been dormant for over two months. Never mind the fanfare with which they announced it. It now appears to have been abandoned. Which is typical of the Trump regime’s notoriety for incompetence. The web site seems to share with Trump a profoundly short attention span.

No American president has had as hostile an attitude toward the media as Trump. He routinely refers to the press in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He displays his rancid animus toward honest journalism in his knee-jerk and meritless lawsuits and his infantile insults. His vicious attacks on reporters as “creeps,” “stupid,” and “ugly,” are the price paid for daring to report honestly. The problem is that it’s also the sign of an emerging autocracy.

Donald Trump has launched a "Media Bias" web page on the White House website. And guess what?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-30T19:38:16.480Z

The good news is that Trump will soon forget all about whatever imagined offense he is fixated on at any given time as soon as some other shiny object is waved in front of his face. And while that may be good news for the victims of his demented anger, that sort of dementia is a frighteningly horrible trait in a national leader.

Trump Hypes a New York Post Smear of a Democrat for Doing What Many More Republicans Are Doing

Posted by on February 5, 2026 at 2:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The desperation of Donald Trump to manufacture a recovery of his rapidly declining approval is evident in his increasingly ludicrous public remarks and unhinged social media posts. His deranged behavior and brazen dishonesty have always been an integral part of his warped character. But as he sinks ever lower his outbursts are becoming ever more bizarre.

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

Trump’s polling seems to hit a new low every day. According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, his current approval rating is a dismal 37%. That’s consistent with other polls, most of which show him struggling to reach 40%. Consequently, Trump and his regime mouthpieces are going to extreme lengths to spin reality into something that doesn’t hurt his tender fee fees.

SEE THIS: Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult

On Wednesday night, Trump himself sought to salve his wounded ego by posting a link on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to an article in Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post that smeared a Democratic congressman for trading stocks. The article is a month old, but that doesn’t matter when you’re trying to whip up some positive propaganda from thin air. The headline blared that “Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi beats Pelosi’s stock portfolio performance with 35% return.” It began…

“Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi led all Democrats with the best stock portfolio performance of 2025, beating even the She-Wolf of Wall Street, Nancy Pelosi, data obtained by The Post shows.” […] “Most of it came from his outsized position in tech giant NVIDIA — up 40% for the year.

The article noted that Suozzi “supports bipartisan legislation…to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks.” That’s legislation that many Republicans still are not getting behind. And Trump refuses to support it unless it exempts the executive branch – meaning him. All of the pending legislation is currently stalled in committee or awaiting floor votes that are not scheduled.

Near the bottom of the article, the Post finally noted that a Republican, Tim Moore, made even more money trading stocks (52%) than Suozzi, who ranks down at number five. What’s more, a chart included in the article shows that eight of the top ten congressional stock traders are Republicans. Which is not ever mentioned in the text of the article.

Nancy Pelosi’s 18% isn’t even among the top ten, despite having made it into the headline. Although notable Republicans like Ted Cruz (50%), and Lisa Murkowski (35%), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (33%), and Mitch McConnell (29%) are in the top ten. [Note: The Post doesn’t know what Murkowski looks like. They put a photo of Susan Collins on the Murkowski bar of the chart]

For some reason the Post decided to make this article all about the Democratic representative, and only added the Republicans as an afterthought. Even though the Republicans are far worse offenders as revealed on the Post’s own chart. And Trump latches onto it as a handy piece of anti-Democrat propaganda. Even if it’s a month later when he’s scrounging around for ways to smear his political foes and deflect from his own much more serious misconduct and outright crimes. Epstein files, anyone?

BLLSHT: Fox News Host Accuses Hakeem Jeffries of Calling for Kristi Noem to Be ‘Taken Out’

Posted by on January 29, 2026 at 2:36 pm. 0 Comments :

The past two weeks has seen some of the most gruesome conduct perpetrated by the United States government in modern times. Donald Trump is presiding over a criminal enterprise that has invaded Venezuela, threatened Greenland, and murdered American citizens in the streets of their home towns.

Fox News, Bullshit Factory

Many of the MAGA Republicans who bother to discuss these affairs at all, end up trying to blame both sides while calling for the harsh rhetoric to be toned down. Never mind that most of that explosive diarhetoric is coming from the right, and worse, their actions exceed their words. In fact, in the war of words Trump is seeking to muzzle his opponents.

SEE THIS: HOLY CR*P! Trump Floats Executive Order to Dictate to TV Networks What They Are Allowed to Air

On Thursday morning Harris Faulkner, the host of “Outnumbered” on Fox News, was in the midst of a segment wherein they were defending the barbaric tactics employed by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The conversation led to a comment by the House Democratic Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, to which Faulkner and her comrades took offense. She complained that…

“Hakeem Jeffries says ‘Kristi Noem needs to be on ICE.’ Now I know that’s ineloquent and unfortunate. It’s also just horrible timing. Because we know that means ‘take somebody out.'”

Harris Faulkner: "Hakeem Jeffries says 'Kristi Noem should be on ICE.' I know that's ineloquent and unfortunate. It's also just horrible timing, because we know that means 'take somebody out.'"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-29T17:22:59.048Z

So Faulkner is reprising the rhetoric argument to criticize what Jeffries said. But she is pitifully misrepresenting the comment in order stir up more hatred and division.

First of all, Jeffries was obviously connecting his criticism of Trump’s desperately unqualified Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, to the horrific record of ICE with a linguistic association to actual ice. Faulkner knows this, but chooses to inflame the situation unnecessarily.

Furthermore, Faulkner is deliberately distorting the meaning of the colloquial phrase to put someone “on ice.” It does not mean to “take somebody out,” or kill them. It means to “put on hold, or to pause, to allow to cool down.” Which is precisely what Jeffries meant, and even what Faulkner claims to be advocating.

This is similar to the right-wing freak out that occurred last year when James Comey posted an image online of some seashells that spelled out “8647.” The MAGA-tists all babbled about it being an assassination threat. But the phrase is just a term that means “to refuse service, or to kick out of a public establishment.”

MORE HERE: Trump and Fox News Crybabies are Blowing Up a Phony Controversy Over James Comey’s 86 47 Meme

Nobody should be surprised at the rank hypocrisy of Fox News, Trump, and others on the right who have been pretending to care about the heated rhetoric. They have been maligning Democrats as traitors for years. And since the penalty for treason is execution, they have been, in effect, calling for them to be killed. Trump did so explicitly when he demanded that several members of Congress be put to death for simply reminding those in the military of their duty to refuse to obey unlawful orders.

All of this only provides further proof that the right is obsessed with killing Democrats and anyone who does not worship Herr Trump. And it’s why they still support how ICE has been killing protesters and brutalizing immigrants. For the rabid right, the celebration of death goes way beyond just words.

Did a Fox News Host Steer Trump to Put Tom Homan in Charge of His ICE Thugs in Minneapolis?

Posted by on January 27, 2026 at 3:07 pm. 0 Comments :

The Calamity in Minneapolis orchestrated by Donald Trump and his Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) StormTrumpers has proven to be massive millstone around the neck of Trump and his regime’s top henchmen and women. On an issue that Trump had leaned on heavily throughout his political misadventures, he is now deeply underwater and struggling to find a way to stay afloat.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Recent surveys show that Trump’s approval on immigration is floundering at record lows. According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll “Fifty-three percent of Americans polled disapprove of the president’s immigration policy, while 39% approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration.” And no amount of gaslighting or whitewashing has helped to reverse the descent.

SEE THIS: RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

Consequently, Trump has been tenderly trying to walk back the rancid rhetoric that he has been yammering from day one of the horrific events in Minnesota, when he and his cronies smeared Alex Pretti as a “would be assassin” and “domestic terrorist.” He knows that the American people are repulsed by the deaths of peaceful, law abiding citizens, and that his attempts to viciously malign them have failed. But rather than admit any wrongdoing, or holding anyone accountable, Trump is trying to massage his messaging campaign to take the heat off of him without making any actual improvements.

Clearly Trump has no idea what to do. That’s why he has been waffling between blanket defenses of the atrocities he has caused, and pitiful stabs at displaying sympathy. The only marginally substantive reform he has taken is to cast his chief ICE enforcer in Minneapolis, Greg Bovino, into the corn field. But even that idea was not Trump’s. As reported by Brian Stelter of CNN…

“Around 6:15 a.m. on Monday, ‘Fox & Friends’ co-host Brian Kilmeade pitched a solution to President Trump’s growing political problem in Minnesota. ‘What I would do is just bring Tom Homan in,’ he said.

“Kilmeade, a Trump booster who knows the president often watches the morning show, volunteered the idea again at 7:15 and once more at 8:10. Homan, the border czar and a former Fox commentator, would ‘settle things down’ and help Trump, Kilmeade said.

“Maybe Trump was watching, maybe he wasn’t — but either way, he said, ‘I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight,’ 20 minutes after Kilmeade suggested it a third time.'”

So it appears that Kilmeade put the bug in Trump’s ear about replacing Bovino with Homan, and he embraced it in the hopes that it might ease the pain of sinking farther into the abyss of public disgust. Never mind that Homan is just as unsavory as Bovino, and he still has a corruption scandal hanging over his head alleging that he took a $50,000 bribe in exchange for delivering government favors.

The public’s view of Trump’s immigration policies has now deteriorated to the point that other Republicans are starting to show some spine by criticizing him. Actually, they are just getting to the point where they are more afraid of voters than they are of Trump. The result is that some – but certainly not all – are speaking out more critically of him than ever before.

Even some conservative media are turning against Trump. For instance, the right-wing National Review editorialized that “[Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem] has repeatedly demonstrated that she is incapable of speaking honestly about events like the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.” Which suggests that Trump’s critics on his own side won’t be satisfied until there are some terminations, indictments, or other form of accountability. And decent American citizens won’t be satisfied until Trump himself is held to account.

Herr Trump Is Trying to Quash the Netflix Deal to Buy Warner Bros as a Favor to His Oligarch Pals

Posted by on January 11, 2026 at 3:34 pm. 0 Comments :

The boots of Donald Trump – swollen cankles, bone spurred feet and all – are once again stomping down on matters where they don’t belong. They have already trampled on everything from the Kennedy Center, to the Caribbean shores of Venezuela, to American cities with Democratic leaders that he regards as “the enemy within.”

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

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

The latest victim of Trump’s tromping is the pending merger of media giants Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) and Netflix. The WBD board has already accepted the bid from Netflix that it deemed superior to the one by the Paramount-Skydance conglomerate. But unsatisfied with not having having his tiny thumb pressed firmly into the pie, Trump is openly lobbying against Netflix. That wouldn’t be because his friends David and Larry Ellison are the owners of Paramount and have promised to make make changes that Trump wants, would it?

SEE THIS: Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

Setting aside the fact that it is both legally and ethically improper for Trump to interfere with the business affairs of these companies in a free market economy, Trump’s favoritism is transparently biased and aimed at benefitting himself and his wealthy comrades. On Sunday he posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that said simply “Stop the Netflix Cultural Takeover.” The post linked to an article disparaging the pending merger on the ultra right-wing website, One America News Network (OAN), by disgraced attorney John M. Pierce. The article said that…

“Netflix’s bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is not simply another Hollywood deal. It is an attempt to consolidate unprecedented cultural power inside one of America’s most ideologically aggressive corporations — a company that has repeatedly used its global platform to elevate progressive narratives while suppressing dissenting viewpoints.”

That is, to use a technical term, bullshit! There is no evidence that Netflix has any political ideology, much less one that is “aggressive” and is “suppressing dissenting viewpoints.” That’s an opinion that even Trump disagrees with. Trump recently met with Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos in the Oval Office and came away saying that Sarandos is “fantastic” and that “I have a lot of respect for him. He is a great person.”

The article’s main argument against the Netflix/WBD merger is that it would would weaken competition. That’s true, But it’s just as true – if not worse – if WBD were to merge with Paramount. The article’s position that WBD accepted the Netflix bid due to some ideological bias is ridiculous. First of all because the Netflix bid is markedly better. Secondly because the real bias would be if the Trump regime forced Netflix to accept the bid from Paramount, whose owners are devoted Trump fluffers. Then the article claimed that…

“Handing this machine control over Warner’s franchises and future output would allow one company to rewrite characters, retell history, redefine social norms, and control which ideas reach audiences. […] It is time to say no to a woke media monopoly before the damage becomes impossible to reverse.”

For the record, Paramount would be the “machine” that could “control which ideas reach audiences.” It already owns Paramount Pictures, Paramount Television, CBS Entertainment, CBS News, Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, TV Land, BET, Country Music Television, and 46 owned-and-operated TV stations across the country. Netflix is primarily a program producer and distributor. It doesn’t own any TV stations or, more importantly and unlike Paramount, any news networks.

Paramount has already demonstrated that it will bend the knee to Trump in its CBS News reporting. They recently censored CBS’ 60 Minutes, nixing a segment on the El Salvador gulag that Trump has been sending migrants to. They hired a right-wing blogger, Bari Weiss, to run their nightly news program with a decidedly more conservative bent. And they also canceled Stephen Colbert’s top rated late night comedy program. Just think what they would do if they acquired CNN, which is currently owned by Warner Bros and would be part of the merger with Paramount, but not with Netflix.

This would be a good time to examine the character of the OAN article’s author, John M. Pierce. He is an disreputable attorney with a long history of supporting Trump. He has been accused of making “threats against Department of Justice personnel.” And in September of 2021 NPR reported that…

“Pierce, a controversial lawyer with pro-Trump politics, has taken on more defendants related to the [January 6th] Capitol breach than any other attorney.”

[And that] “Court records from his divorce show that he has dealt with substance abuse and mental health problems for several years. His ex-wife has previously obtained two domestic violence restraining orders against him.”

That’s the caliber of author recruited by OAN to write this article attacking Netflix. And it’s why the article is so blatantly biased and counterfactual. There are some good reasons to oppose a WBD merger with either Netflix or Paramount. Corporate consolidation often harms both consumers and employees. But in this case the author leans heavily to one side, which invalidates his arguments entirely.

In the final analysis, Paramount would be far worse than Netflix as a partner for Warner Bros. It would cater to the whims of Trump, and deliver more conservative programming in both the entertainment and news divisions. And Trump’s cheerleading for Paramount is further proof of his bias and ignorance of proper conduct as president.

Fox News Senior Misogynist Says Women Are ‘Little Creatures’ Who Shouldn’t Be Taken Seriously

Posted by on January 9, 2026 at 3:17 pm. 0 Comments :

The Fox News roster of hosts and correspondents has always been a confederacy of liars and Olympic-grade ignorati. They faithfully carry out the network’s primary mission of pumping up Donald Trump and the Republican Party. And they do it on a daily basis with the emotional maturity of a delinquent seven year old.

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Generally the Foxies are pushing ultra conservative propaganda in support of the right-wing’s vile and exclusionary political agenda. But they also disseminate vicious and insulting cultural dogma aimed at maligning Democrats and liberals and anyone they regard as “woke.” And perhaps the worse purveyor of that rancid bullshittery is Jesse Watters.

SEE THIS: Fox News Hack Jesse Watters Criteria Justifying ICE Killing US Citizens is Insane and Dangerous

On Thursday’s episode of Fox’s “The Five.” Watters had something he needed to get off his chest about women. And true to form, it was unflinchingly contemptuous and chock full of hate. He led it off as if it were a criticism of men, saying that…

“Here’s the problem with guys: They take women too seriously. You don’t really listen to these women. They will say things. Just goes in one ear and out the other. We are toxic? Here is a drink, babe. That’s done. They love that. They are beautiful little creatures. We just have to adore them and shower them with love and attention. That is really all they want…You love attention and drinks.”

You have to wonder how the “little creatures” at the table with him – and those watching at home – felt about that description. He believes that women are brain dead wind-up dolls that can be – and should be – manipulated by flattery and alcohol. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone who remembers that Watters slashed the tires of a much younger former coworker to get her take a ride home with him. He later left his wife and children to marry her.

It is particularly offensive for Watters to express these despicable thoughts at time when a couple of profoundly troubling stories are in the news that involve women. There are the files of child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, that Watters has defended Trump for refusing to release. And there is the ICE agent who murdered a young mother, that Watters believes deserved to be killed, despite the video evidence that she posed no threat.

The views that Watters expressed are consistent with those of many other men at Fox News. Their former president, Roger Ailes, was fired for sexual harassment. So was their biggest star, Bill O’Reilly. Even Trump’s current Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, had an inappropriate relationship with a younger Fox co-worker, which eventually broke up his marriage to his second wife.

It’s fair to say that a pattern is apparent. And that pattern fits the example made by Trump, the Pussy-Grabber-In-Chief. It seems like sexual misconduct is a prerequisite to work for either Trump or Fox News. It would be nice if the women there – particularly those on the same show as Watters – would speak out against that gross behavior. Because he surely doesn’t deserve the platform he’s exploiting to disparage women while he’s spewing partisan political nonsense.

Sean Hannity of Fox News Makes a Darn Good Case Against Trump and His Racist White Nationalism

Posted by on December 9, 2025 at 1:29 pm. 0 Comments :

It was just a matter of time. Donald Trump has been expressing his virulent brand of bigotry for decades. His blatant prejudice is one of the most compelling factors for his popularity among his MAGA disciples who share his inbred hatred for people of color and non-European immigrants. So no one should be surprised that his media mouthpieces are parroting his reprehensible rhetoric.

Fox News, Sean Hannity

Trump has long disparaged immigrants who come from what he calls “shithole” countries. And this week he has made a point of maligning American citizens who migrated from Somali, calling them all criminals and pledging to have them them thrown out of the country. In fact, he says he is terminating all immigration from third world countries and reviewing the status of those currently in the U.S.

SEE THIS: Does Trump’s Racist Pledge to Deport Naturalized American Citizens Include Melania?

On Monday’s episode of his radio program, Sean Hannity of Fox News weighed in on this subject. Although he intended to praise Dear Leader Trump, the actual content of his monologue was ironically critical. Hannity began by saying that…

“I’m not going to get in the gutter with some people and what they’re saying. The left is insane enough. But when I hear and listen to some people that claim to be MAGA and Trump supporters and the things that they utter are so insane.”

Well then. That’s actually a pretty rational assessment of the MAGA community. You have to wonder what took Hannity so long to notice it. However, as he continued he seemed to lose the plot. In a series of comments intended to exalt Trump, Hannity actually provided opportunities to expose the vile racism that has been such a prominent part of his character, or lack thereof. What follows are Hannity’s observations with relevant annotations.

“If you hear somebody that’s racist, that’s probably a good indication that they’re not worth your time.”
In Trump’s mind if you are a Black critic of Trump you are automatically a low IQ racist. That includes Kamala, Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Don Lemon, LeBron James, etc.

“If somebody’s a white nationalist, they’re probably not worth your time.”
Remember Trump’s support for “the very fine people on both sides” of the white nationalist protest in Charlottesville?

“If they praise Adolf Hitler, they’re probably not somebody that’s worth your time.”
Trump famously kept a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside, and he told members of his White House staff that “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had.”

“If they have a virulent anti-Semitic hatred, they’re probably not worth listening to.”
During the New York City mayoral race, Trump whined that “Any Jewish person that votes for Zohran Mamdani…is a stupid person!!!”

Hannity went on to complain about the MAGA minions who “have bizarre conspiracy theories” or are just “pure character assassins.” That doesn’t narrow it down very much. It’s pretty much all of them. And that’s particularly true with regard to his MAGA-sty himself, Donald Trump.

However, while Hannity appears to be on the verge of actually getting it, don’t expect too much of him. He’s a fully indoctrinated MAGA-tist and isn’t likely to see the light. He doesn’t even know that he’s shining the light on Trump’s racism. Or, for that matter, his own.

A CALL TO ACTION: Trump White House Launches a ‘Media Bias Offender Tipline’ – Let’s Use It

Posted by on December 3, 2025 at 12:59 pm. 3 Comments :

The battle against biased media is a continuing and exhausting ordeal during the administration of Donald Trump, who frequently refers to the press in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” No American president has been more hostile toward the media, or more hospitable toward sycophantic toadies than, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

Last week Trump’s White House website debuted a “Media Bias” page, claiming that it would be keeping track of what Trump regards as “false, misleading, or biased” news reports. Of course, what Trump regards as “biased” is actually anything that is less than effusively flattering. As a result, the page consists solely of the very same media outlets that Trump regularly bashes as “fake news” simply because they dare to report honestly about Trump warts and…well, more warts.

This week Trump is expanding on his anti-free-press theme with the addition of a brand new “Media Bias Offender Tipline.” It was announced with a “A CALL TO ACTION” and an opportunity to “Submit ‘Media Bias’ Tips” online.

The announcement describes the mission of the page as “to combat the baseless lies, purposely omitted context, and outright left-wing lunacy of the Fake News Media,” and asserts that “That’s why the White House is calling on everyday Americans to support the truth and hold the Fake News accountable.” Elaborating, the page says that…

“So-called ‘journalists’ have made it impossible to identify every false or misleading story, which is why help from the American people is essential. The days of the Fake News Media controlling the narrative with lies, fake anonymous sources, and willful bias are over.”

Notice that the only alleged lies that the page is supposedly combatting are from the “outright left-wing lunacy.” And there is no mention of the fact that it’s Trump’s rampant dishonesty that makes identifying all of the false stories impossible. Even worse, Trump is declaring that the days of “willful bias are over,” as he cheers for the government to assume the role of “controlling the narrative with lies.” Which, to be fair, is something that Trump’s regime has proven to be pretty good at.

Trump’s Media Bias Tipline page provides a short form for his MAGA cult disciples to report any left-wing lunacy that they come across so that they can “HELP EXPOSE THE WORST OF THE WORST” And it warns, “Don’t let them continue to spread lies. Fill out the form below.”

Well, that seems like pretty good advice. Perhaps we should all bookmark that form and use it to report all of the media bias that we encounter. (Feel free to use a fake email address to avoid getting spammed — or surveilled). There is plenty of it from outlets like Newsmax and One America News, and far too often from the corporate media networks as well. Of course, there’s also Fox News, which is the only “news” enterprise that has paid out 3/4 of a billion dollars to settle a defamation lawsuit for having repeatedly lied on Trump’s behalf.

So you all know what to do. And as Trump’s page says, “Don’t let them continue to spread lies.”
