For this episode I have a lot of fun with the DeSantis/Newsom debate on Hannity. DeSantis got a shellacking. Sean Hannity's questions were mini-speeches. Henry Kissinger was the likable war crimina/womanizerl who loved soap on a rope. Judge Jeanine doesn't seem to know what an ICBM is but she's sure Iran hit Iraq with one. Jessica Tarlov rips on Bibi Netanyahu. It's regular laugh riot. This is a public episode.

On Wednesday Nov. 22 Fox News called a car accident a terrorist attack for about 3.5 hours. They even implied it was carried out by a radical Islamic group as part of a jihad in response to the Israel-Hamas war. None of this was accurate. I went through six hours of Fox News programming to break down the entire fiasco. This is a public episode.

The week went from nonstop coverage of the war in Israel Hamas to nonstop coverage of the mass shooter at large in Maine. Fox News host unwittingly promoted federal gun control laws, Jesse Watters pretended he knew how to survive in the wilderness. He also said forks don't make people fat. He also proudly announced that he bought a gun which anyone with a brain would realize is a bad idea. The Five joked around about Michael Cohen and a sketch artist who is in love with Trump. It's a crazy ride through a week of Fox News. This is a public episode.

Fox News hosts found creative ways to weave in concern for the U.S. southern border, defund the police, cashless bail, transgender panic, sleeper terrorist cells, Black Lives Matter and all things woke. Jesse Watters talked about the war like an 8th grader might, Greg Gutfeld talked about a bunch of nonsense and an Israeli man chewed out Brian Kilmeade over Bibi Netanyahu. I also explore why most journalists avoid using hyperbolic language especially when it refers to marginalized groups. This is a public episode.

The week was all over the place with stories of great importance - Kevin McCarthy being ousted as speaker and stories that were based in manufactured outrage - Hillary Clinton said something. Reality hit the network after Hamas invaded Israel and brutally murdered civilians. This podcast includes the horrific attack in Israel along with additional research which is why it's a bit longer than my usual episodes. I cover six days of Fox News instead of my usual five as this extended into Saturday. This is a public episode.

In this episode I present one of the strangest political manipulations about 9/11 ever recorded. Fox News hosts also didn't seem that impressed the the impeachment inquiry.

Last week Sean Hannity dedicated an entire pre-taped episode to bashing President Biden. The network also remembered Trump existed and decided recent polling proved he would trounce Biden. No one mentioned Trump's many legal problems though. Curtis Sliwa thinks he's the NYC mayor in exile, the actual mayor Eric Adams had a meltdown on camera that Fox exploited. I imitate Judge Jeanine while sharing a few stories about New York. This is a public episode.

I include a Judge Jeanine impression and some goofiness along with media clips from Fox. This is a public episode.

Last week was a busy one on Fox News. The network hosted its first GOP presidential debate. Trump got booked in Fulton County. His mug shot was plastered all over the network. Several hosts and guests on Fox pushed the idea that every Trump supporter could be the next victim of the Democratic machine. Hunter Biden traveled on Air Force Two but let's not talk about Jared or Ivanka. I do a couple of silly voices at the very end. There's also a Clutch Your Pearls moment. This is a public episode.
