    Podcast #196 - Fox News: Run For Your Lives It’s an Army of Childless Cat Ladies

    Last week while the streets of Minneapolis filled with angry protesters choking on clouds of tear gas and images of ICE agents terrorizing people flooded social media feeds Fox News set its sights on the real danger - radicalized left-wing women. According to the network suburban soccer moms and urban childless cat ladies were pawns for a sophisticated Democratic Party domestic terrorist plot. Naive women were the foot soldiers to sacrifice at the altar of open border policies and foreign criminal syndicates. ICE agents might have weapons, body armor, face masks, tear gas, pepper spray, and the ability to take away a person’s liberty plus the backing of a corrupt federal government but un-armed, loud women with shaved heads and protest signs are the real threat. The word ‘women’ appeared 194 times in the transcripts last week. The word appeared 72 times in transcripts from Jesse Watters Primetime. Watters was working out his misogynistic baggage as he reduced women to helpless creatures who were tools in a game they didn’t understand. Watters is the same Fox News host who constantly whines about his damaged relationship with his mother, tells embarrassing stories about his second wife and pontificates on what he believes is proper masculine behavior.

    Podcast #195 - Fox News Predicts Mass Suicide by ICE

    Last Wednesday a 37-year-old mother of three, Renee Good, was shot and killed in her car by an ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A video captured by a bystander of the incident immediately went viral along with footage taken from other angles. Fox News reacted immediately by blaming Democratic lawmakers and the woman herself. The Trump administration also promptly blamed Good and cleared the agent of any wrongdoing despite the lack of an investigation into the incident. According to the government Good purposefully tried to ram Ross with her car. Many experts, from multiple media outlets, concluded that the Trump administration’s official explanation of the event doesn’t line up with the video evidence. In nearly every case of a fatal shooting by law enforcement state or federal authorities would at least launch some type of investigation into the incident before making any public declarations. In this case an unarmed woman was shot in broad daylight in front of multiple witnesses and the Trump administration called her a domestic terrorist before her body was cold. The federal government has taken steps to prevent officials in Minnesota from conducting their own investigation. The folks at Fox News were more than happy to attack Good’s character and repeat the Trump administration’s talking points. Jesse Watters even took things further when he predicted a wave of suicidal leftist activists sacrificing their lives to make a political point. No one disputes that after Good was shot three times in a matter of seconds some of the ICE agents fled the scene, including the shooter, and that it took Emergency Medical Services six minutes to administer aid to a U.S. citizen who was killed by the hand of an immigration and customs enforcement agent. After the shots were fired and Good’s car drove out of control an agent, some have disputed that it was Ross himself, called the young mother a “f*cking b***h.” Government officials have since reported that Ross suffered internal bleeding from the incident. In the video evidence he walks away seemingly unharmed. He showed no signs of injury. It’s not even clear in the video evidence if he was struck by the car. I’m not a criminal forensics expert but The NY Times did do an exhaustive analysis of the first video that was shot by a bystander you can find it here. This is a public episode.

    Podcast #194 - Fox News Got Everything Wrong About Trump's Invasion of Venezuela

    Last week Fox News started with lighthearted special episodes dedicated to New Year’s celebrations while the network hammered Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for a fraud scandal in his state. By Friday night Fox made an abrupt pivot to focus all its airtime to Trump’s surprise invasion of Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro. This is a public episode.

    Bonus Podcast - Another Holiday Primer So You Can Deal With Your Fox News Loving Relatives

    wanted to do a quick update on the newsletter I wrote last month “A Thanksgiving Primer to Help You Deal With your Fox Loving Relatives.” I had to wait until December 18 to get the updated CPI report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The agency delayed it eight days due to the government shutdown. It was also based on a partial gathering of data which is problematic for several reasons. This is an updated version of the Thanksgiving primer! This is a public episode.

    Podcast #193 - The MAGA Titanic is About to Hit the Affordability Iceberg

    Last week on Fox News it became more apparent that the MAGA Titanic is gliding straight into an iceberg and the only passengers with lifeboats aren’t even on the ship - they are hovering above it in climate-controlled spacecraft fueled by the cuts to U.S. foreign aid meant for starving children. Meanwhile their glorious leader tells them that the impending disaster is a Democratic hoax designed by his enemies to make him and the greatest political movement in the history of this country look bad. By the end of the month nearly 24 million Americans will see sharp rises in their healthcare premiums, while the cost groceries, electricity, insurance, and housing continue to rise. About 7-8 million Americans enrolled in the SAVE student loan income repayment plan will also face higher monthly payments. Credit card balances have increased along with unemployment while the wannabe king promises everything will work out in two weeks, the next quarter or sometime next year. As Trump’s poll numbers plummeted and Democrats won elections all over the country Fox News continued to churn out the propaganda and spin. This is a public episode.

    Podcast #192 - Fox News is Freaking Out - It's the Economy Stupid

    Last week the microscopic cracks of doubt in the Trump administration evolved into deep fissures on Fox News. Several on-air personalities openly plead with their glorious leader that he needed to change his messaging on the affordability crisis quickly or the country could be headed for a blue wave tsunami. Just a year ago these same overpaid mouthpieces of the Trump propaganda machine celebrated his win and thanked their viewers for voting for him. Now they cannot hide their panic. Trump is trying to lie to the American public by calling the affordability crisis a Democratic hoax. In many ways Fox News created their own monster. By putting all of the blame on Biden for inflation Fox reinforced the idea that a president can guide an economy like a sailboat. This is a public episode.

    Podcast #191 - Happy Let's Blame the Democrats Day on Fox News!

    The folks at Fox News thought they were going to have an easy time with holiday programming last week with stories about pajama wearing travelers, Thanksgiving leftover tips and pre-taped shows filled with recycled segments. In between the holiday fluff the network put most of its focus on segments bashing Democrats, worshiping President Trump and what it called the “Seditious Six.” By mid-day Wednesday the on-air talent at Fox News immediately pivoted to cover a targeted domestic terrorist attack on National Guard troops in Washington D.C. Nearly every talking head at the network immediately blamed Democratic lawmakers for the violence even though there was no evidence that the shooter, an Afghan national, was motivated by left of center politics. Fox News was so lazy in its coverage of the tragedy that the network included a pre-taped episode of The Five for Thanksgiving that made no mention of the attack. That evening it re-aired The Patriot Awards, a Fox Nation special, in place of its regularly scheduled primetime lineup. I was expecting at least episodes of Fox News Live, the breaking news show for the network but the Fox stuck to its original plan for the holiday and decided to only air episodes that included live news coverage mid-day and late night on Thanksgiving.
