Radio icon Howard Stern said ousted Fox News star Tucker Carlson was likely "nothing" to Fox Corp. chair Rupert Murdoch and that he forgot he was just another "worker bee" in the billionaire media mogul's gigantic company. Carlson's bombshell dismissal from the conservative media powerhouse serves as a "good life lesson," Stern said on the Wednesday broadcast of his Sirius XM radio program, "The Howard Stern Show." "I've been a big money earner for radio companies for a long time now, but there's one thing I never forget — my boss is super wealthy," Stern said. The shock jock added:...

Unsurprisingly, Fox News ratings suffered Monday night without the channel’s most watched host. After the surprise of Fox News and Tucker Carlson “agree[ing] to part ways” on Monday, the network’s 8 p.m. hour had a significantly smaller audience Monday night. The debut of Fox News Tonight, hosted by Brian Kilmeade (the first in a series of rotating hosts), pulled in just under 2.6 million viewers — about 21 percent below the average for Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.3 million viewers) over the past eight Mondays. Fox News Tonight also took a hit in the key news demographic of adults 25-54: Its...

Fox Corp.’s $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over defamation charges is eye-popping, but the ultimate cost to the media company is likely to be much lower. […] How much the lawsuit will actually end up costing Fox is unclear because there are ways it can defray some of the expense, primarily through insurance and the use of tax deductions. Fox can deduct the Dominion settlement from its income taxes as an expense necessary for the cost of doing business. Fox Chief Communications Officer Brian Nick has confirmed the deductibility of the settlement. Big companies often deduct large settlements...

I feel like Paul Revere for patriots. Except I’m shouting, “The elections are being stolen…the elections are being stolen.” I grew up on the mean streets of New York. I am very familiar with bait and switch. Walking the streets of New York City, I saw three-card-monte conmen setting up shop on sidewalks every day. Their goal was to distract you from picking the right card…and to separate you from your money. We all just witnessed a bait and switch in the news headlines earlier this week. This is three-card-monte on STEROIDS. Fox News settled with Dominion over claims of...

Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems said Tuesday that they have reached a settlement agreement just moments before opening arguments were set to begin. The deal ends a monthslong legal battle over whether the media company had defamed the voting machine maker when they broadcast election conspiracy theories in 2020. The terms of the settlement were not immediately available. Dominion sued Fox News in 2021, demanding $1.6 billion in damages. They said the network defamed it when it broadcast baseless claims that it was tied to the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, that it paid kickbacks to politicians and that...

As former President Donald Trump ramps up his 2024 presidential campaign, new polling reveals that while more than half of Americans believe he intentionally did something illegal after his indictment, many believe it was politically motivated. Trump was arraigned Tuesday in New York City on charges stemming from alleged 2016 hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, making him the first former president in American history to be criminally charged. A recent ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 48% of Americans think Trump should suspend his presidential campaign following the indictment, up 5 points from last week. The survey...

Poor Brian Kilmeade sounds like he is reporting on a funeral this morning. The FOX and Friends host and Trump-basher reported on the latest Morning Consult pull showing President Trump up 54 to 26 over Governor Ron DeSantis. Kilmeade then compared President Trump to Jeb! Bush in 2016. That’s a stretch! Fellow FOX and Friends hosts look like they are reporting on a funeral.

When Dominion Voting Systems alleged Fox News helped spread conspiracy theories that Dominion manipulated the results of the 2020 election, it asked the conservative media network to pony up $1.6 billion.

“Fair, Balanced and Unafraid” is now a distant memory. Whatever the cause, considering the Fox News Channel to be a name to trust is a complete waste of time. The fix is in. Fox News reports on what they are told, not what is important for the country. This includes the most popular shows in the evening, Jesse Waters, Tucker Carlson, Shawn Hannity, and Laura Ingraham. All four still appear to be fighting for our country, but only on approved stories. This has been going on for quite some time, but the absolute proof is that — based on what...
