Ed Henry, the chief national correspondent for Fox News, fact-checked weekend ‘Fox & Friends’ host Pete Hegseth on Saturday after Hegseth claimed that former President Barack Obama should not be given credit for the healthy economy.Hegseth began:“Democrats want to talk about health care. They don’t want to talk about immigration. They can’t talk about the economy. I mean Barack Obama is trying to say he rebuilt the economy.”At which point Henry chimed in: “You’ve read the numbers, I’m sure. Barack Obama created more jobs in his final 21 months than President [Donald] Trump has created in his first 21. I’m not saying...

UPDATE: Fox News provided Townhall the following statement:“FOX News does not condone any talent participating in campaign events. We have an extraordinary team of journalists helming our coverage tonight and we are extremely proud of their work. This was an unfortunate distraction and has been addressed.”  UPDATE: Hannity defends his onstage appearance at the Trump rally. What I said in my tweet yesterday was 100% truthful. When the POTUS invited me on stage to give a few remarks last night, I was surprised, yet honored by the president’s request. This was NOT planned.— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) November 6, 2018 ORIGINAL...

Trump's campaign had announced the Fox News host as a "special guest" at a Monday night rally. Fox News host Sean Hannity "will not be on stage campaigning with the president" at a rally on Monday night, a day after Donald Trump's re-election campaign announced him as a "special guest," along with radio host Rush Limbaugh. On Monday, Hannity cleared up the confusion on Twitter: "In spite of reports, I will be doing a live show from Cape Girardeau and interviewing President Trump before the rally. To be clear, I will not be on stage campaigning with the President. I...

CNN already wouldn't show it. The liberals went ballistic when NBC did, so they apologized this morning and said they wouldn't run it. Now Fox and Fox Business said they will not run it anymore because they've looked at it and determined it's racist. I've linked the ad, and basically, the Dems are calling it an attack on immigrants which is false. There is a difference in legal and illegal immigration. Secondly, it denies the fact that there are people who enter this country illegally or who are falsely claiming asylum that are criminals, drug dealers, and not good people....

A North Carolina State University professor apologized after handing out a paper that suggested students “block Fox News” from family members. “When they’re not looking, set the parental controls on the TVs of your family members to block Fox News,” the handout said. “Fox News spreads bigotry and hatred.” . . Michaela DeSoucey, a Professor at North Carolina State University handed this paper out to her students, telling them to block Fox News and follow liberal commentators to name a few.

Immigration Bringing More Leprosy to U.S."Leprosy, the disfiguring scourge of the skin most associated with exotic lands and Bible stories, is increasing because of immigration from Southeast Asia and Latin America." Question: which extreme right-wing news outlet published that defamatory, scare-mongering, headline and report? Infowars? Breitbart? Fox News, perhaps? Nope. It was . . . The New York Times. The article dates to 1983. But there have been more recent reports of the same problem, as here, here and here. In each article, it is mentioned that the great majority of leprosy cases in the U.S. are diagnosed among immigrants,...

As the administration sends 5,200 troops to the border, the host painted GOP rhetoric as midterm election fearmongering. The GOP-fueled hysteria over the Central American migrant caravan traveling north through Mexico is nothing more than midterm election hyperbole, Fox News host Shep Smith insisted Monday. “There is no invasion. No one’s coming to get you. There’s nothing at all to worry about,” he said calmly on “Shepard Smith Reporting” on Monday. “But tomorrow is one week before the midterm election — which is what all of this all about,” he added. Smith tried to calm the public about the caravan...

I will be interviewed by Laura Ingraham tonight at 10:00 P.M. on @FoxNews 8:31 PM - 29 Oct 2018

Fox Business bans guest who pushed conspiracy theory claiming people in the migrant caravan were getting money from the 'Soros-backed State Department' Fox Business pulled an episode of 'Lou Dobbs Tonight' after a guest made controversial remarks about Jewish philanthropist George Soros Judicial Watch official Chris Farrell suggested a Central American migrant caravan moving towards the US border was being funded by Soros A Fox News spokesman said Farrell will no longer be booked for its programs It comes days after a gunman killed 11 people in a Pittsburg synagogue Fox Business has pulled an episode of 'Lou Dobbs Tonight'...

According to The Hill, Fox Business Network [specifically Lou Dobbs’s show] will no longer book a guest who blamed the latest migrant caravan on the “Soros-occupied State Department.” “We condemn the rhetoric by the guest on Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Gary Schreier, senior vice president of programming for Fox Business, said in a statement, according to CNN. “This episode was a repeat which has now been pulled from all future airings.” A Fox News spokesperson told CNN that the guest, Judicial Watch head Chris Farrell, will no longer be booked on Fox Business Network or Fox News. He’s a very interesting...

Fox Business on Sunday said it pulled an episode of "Lou Dobbs Tonight" that contained what critics said was anti-Semitic sentiment just a day after a gunman killed 11 people in a synagogue in Pittsburgh. In the segment, Judicial Watch official Chris Farrell claimed a Central American migrant caravan moving towards the U.S. southern border is being funded by the "Soros-occupied State Department." Farrell was referencing George Soros, a Jewish billionaire and political activist who routinely funds Democratic candidates and initiatives. “We condemn the rhetoric by the guest on Lou Dobbs Tonight. This episode was a repeat which has now...

Just saw an interview with Brian Kemp by Ebony K. Wiliams on FoxNews America’s News HQ. This woman would not let Kemp speak. Kemp is the Georgia Secretary of State, currently responsible for voting in the state, and candidate for Georgia governor against Stacy Abrams. Wiliams accused Kemp of removing 700,000 voters from the GA voting rolls between 2016 and 2017. Wiliams parroted Abrams’ fake line that Kemp was removing hundreds of thousands of these voters without justification. But when Kemp tried to explain that it takes 7 years of voter inactivity for any voter to be removed from the...

What would the Army do against a caravan of civilians, many of them women and children, anyway? Shoot them? The Republicans see this caravan as the perfect issue to rally the base and insure a big, robust turnout for the mid-term elections now two weeks away. Democrats would like to pretend that the caravan is just a giant day-care center filled with needy children that the heartless president doesn’t care about. This crisis calls for reason, patience, compassion and an immediate parlay among the affected nations in Central America, Mexico and the United States. In exchange for leniency and a...

An man suspected of attempting to break into a Fox affiliate's building in Washington, D.C., was shot by police on Monday afternoon. Police say the man survived the shooting at WTTG-TV. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, according to the station. An investigation is underway. WTTG has its reporters covering the story, who are providing various updates on-air and on Twitter. One tweet includes video of the man being carried out on a stretcher.

Leslie Marshall’s Fox News, ‘I’ve found the Democratic candidate who can defeat Trump in 2020’ Coming across Joe Biden’s photo in Leslie Marshall’s Fox piece, ‘I’ve found the Democratic candidate who can defeat Trump in 2020’ almost had me falling off my computer chair in gales of irrepressible laughter. In most of his pictures ‘Bite Me’ looks like he is: goofy. The chill only sets in when contemplating how touchy-feeling the former vice president is in real life.

Fox News Channel has recently pulled back from airing President Donald Trump’s campaign-style rallies during prime time, a move that could put a crimp in Republican efforts to reach voters in the weeks before midterm elections. During much of the late summer, Fox would pre-empt its lucrative nightly lineup of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham in order to air the rallies. None of its rivals did so. It was an important platform for the president and his supporters, since Fox’s opinionated hosts are generally their first choice for political coverage. On Tuesday of last week, Carlson told viewers...

The throngs prove at each and every Trump rally that the best coverage of all is not the networks—but BEING THERE! It’s the middle of the Midterm Election Campaign and President Donald Trump is drawing tens of thousands of patriots to his rallies. That’s hundreds of thousands if you add them all up. People line up for hours to get into the rally venues and stand outside. sometimes in the chill and rain for hours as they did in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Tuesday night. Indeed, they’re even lining up the night before.

The President has been on Fox and Friends this morning for at least a half an hour. He has delivered a constant stream of fantastic sound btes. His presence is in direct contradiction to the Free Republic editorial trashing of fox News and those who rejoice at not watching Fox

Fox News maintained its position as “King of Cable” last week during the dramatic confirmation hearings and subsequent vote for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Fox crushed rivals CNN and MSNBC in all demographics. Nielsen Media Research reports that, from October 1 through October 7, Fox News more than doubled the viewership of CNN and MSNBC in total viewers for both primetime and total daily viewers. Hannity was the most watched cable show in the country averaging 4.4 million total viewers. Tucker Carlson Tonight and Ingraham Angle both clocked in with 3.7 million viewers. Ultimately, a total of five Fox...

Liberal Fox News pundit Juan Williams got triggered because President Trump apologized to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh for the vicious, defamatory attacks he endured during his brutal confirmation process. "To me, the apology was out of line," Williams said on The Five. "A majority of Americans believed Professor Ford, not Justice Kavanaugh. This is going to go on for some time…American women are overwhelming in their disapproval of Kavanaugh." VIDEO [I cannot find this video anywhere else. Liberal activists JASON SELVIG & DAVRAM scrubbed this complete video:'Stalk & Hasass' FOX ANCHOR BRIAN KILMEADE It's unclear which poll Juan was...
