The last day of Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign began just after 7 a.m., as polls opened on the East Coast, with a call to “Fox & Friends,” the television morning show that had turned the reality star into a U.S. president. He got his usual hero’s welcome. But it was no longer enough. “This has been a very special show for me,” he told the hosts of this broadcasting safe haven where he had workshopped his birther message, shared gossip and conspiracy theories, and repeatedly set the tone for his entire administration’s day. “We’ve had a great relationship, and...

Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this,” Neil Cavuto says. Fox News’ Neil Cavuto cut away from White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s briefing Monday in which she accused the Democratic party of “welcoming fraud” and “welcoming illegal voting,” saying he could not continue showing her statements “in good countenance.” -snip- “Whoa, whoa whoa. I just think we have to be very clear,” he said. “She’s charging the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in...

The Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier has deleted a tweet that proved the backlash against the disgraced cable news network has exploded.On Saturday, yours truly wrote about how the backlash against Fox News hit Defcon 1. To backfill my case, I specifically focused on the withering responses to an innocuous tweet posted by Fox’s Special Report anchor Bret Baier…“Join me + @marthamaccallum tonight 8pmET on @FoxNews”:That’s it. That was all Baier tweeted. Nothing controversial. Nothing about the election. He didn’t try to defend his disgraced network’s indefensible decision to call Arizona early, a state that a week later is still too close to call.All Baier did, as I pointed...

[Note: this piece contains heavy video content.] Yesterday, leftist Fox host Neil Cavuto cut away from White House spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany about 30 seconds into her opening statement. The reason why Cavuto cut away? Because she truthfully said that Biden/Harris and their fellow Democrats of “welcoming fraud” and “welcoming illegal voting”. Given that each and every instance of blatant voter fraud we have witnessed over the past 8 days was suborned or outright created by Democrat operatives, McEnany’s statement is manifestly true. Frankly, that statement has been true of every election held in this country since the Democrat Party was...

Fox News' Tucker Carlson has conceded that allegations of fraud which he suggested can be confirmed might not alter the election outcome—though insisted that is not the sole reason to pursue them.

Fox News anchor Sandra Smith was caught reacting incredulously to a guest casting doubt over the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election win over the weekend, frowning and rolling her eyes while she was off-air. In a leaked clip circulating online, the host of America’s Newsroom was heard exasperatedly asking ‘what is happening’ as DC-based lawyer Cleta Mitchell repeated Donald Trump’s unfounded accusations of widespread election fraud. ‘I think everybody wants to know that this was done properly and legally and we can trust the results,’ Mitchell, who was being interviewed by Fox News’ Trace Gallagher, said. ‘And I think we...

ESPN is cutting another 500 jobs as pressures from the Covid-19 pandemic are weighing on the sports network. Apparently, the restart of almost all major sports – albeit draped in political messaging for the last 6 months – hasn’t been enough to save the network from a fresh round of layoffs. The network is blaming the coronavirus, naturally, because it certainly can’t blame its own politicized discussions during almost every major sporting event it has broadcast over the last few months. A memo circulated on Thursday from Jimmy Pitaro, the head of ESPN, said the cuts will include 300 layoffs...

MCENANY: “We want every legal vote to be counted, and we want every illegal vote — “ CAVUTO: “Whoa, whoa, I just think we have to be very clear, she’s charging the other side as welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this."

Make no mistake about it: Fox News is the network of Paul Ryan. For over a year now Ryan has been gloating that he was going to use his position on Fox’s board to ‘do something’ about Trump. This wasn’t a secret to anyone who has been paying attention to Fox over the course of the past year. Day by day Fox News slowly became CNN lite and the lone network of dissent in a sea of leftist propaganda succumbed to the will of our corporate oligarchy. Tucker Carlson is the people’s champion at Paul Ryan’s news network, but time...

Fox News’ Sandra Smith was caught on a hot mic expressing disbelief that a guest on “America’s Newsroom” was casting doubt on the network’s projection of a Joe Biden victory – and that the show’s host, Trace Gallagher, wasn’t pushing back. In a clip that appears to come from a leaked raw feed of a Saturday airing of “America’s Newsroom,” according to Mediaite, Smith can be seen furrowing her eyebrows and making a face when the guest, conservative attorney Cleta Mitchell, says, “Just because CNN says or even Fox News says that someone is president, doesn’t make them president.” “What?...

Over the summer I had written about why Fox News was not in a good position as the television ecosystem shifted to streaming. (TL;DR: Fox is the only major cable or network news service not affiliated with a major Flix (multibillion dollar subscription streaming service), e.g., MSNBC has Peacock, CBS News has Paramount+, ABC News has Hulu. And so as cable audiences shrink, they do not seen to have a Plan B.) But Fox News has another problem: a small right wing service called NewsMax that has done a much better job of distributing its TV programming online via the...

The Fox News Channel crashed in ratings on Saturday, coming in a distant third place to leader CNN and second place MSNBC. In the week before Tuesday’s election Fox News averaged more than double the viewership of CNN and MSNBC. Fox viewers have been in revolt since election night when the cable network called states early for Joe Biden while holding off calling states for President Trump.

The network’s numbers were still relatively strong on Wednesday, despite the fact that Trump’s chances at winning reelection appeared to be dwindling. Rival channel CNN ironically performed the best that night, winning the second-highest viewership in the the station’s history. Fox News’s falling viewership reportedly continued throughout the week, and it remains to be seen whether the conservative-leaning network will suffer even more of a decline if Biden is certified as the winner and sworn into office come January.

James Murdoch's wife Kathryn has voiced her agreement that her family, which owns Fox News, must 'put their country above their profits' and disavow President Donald Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud. Kathryn Murdoch, 47, expressed the sentiment in a tweet on Friday, saying she agreed with CNN host Jake Tapper, who had stated: 'The Murdochs and the people at Fox have an obligation to put their country above their profits. It is very important that people make it very clear -- that there is no credible evidence of widespread fraud.' 'I agree with this,' Kathryn tweeted. Her remark came...

On Saturday, Newsmax reported that Fox News canceled Judge Jeanine Pirro’s program after the network learned that she planned to cover issues related to election fraud in the 2020 race for the White House. “Sources close to the network tell us us that’s because she made a very staunch defense of President Trump and wanted to expose or attempt to expose” the voter fraud that the Trump campaign and Republicans allege took place, Rob Schmitt said. Here’s video of his report: VIDEO AT LINK................... Writing at Breitbart, John Nolte tells us the “fair and balanced” network has been suffering a...
