Fox News is lying about Trump's trial
Anyone hoping Pecker’s explosive evidence will inform Trump’s supporters will be sorely disappointed, because, thanks to Fox News, they will never know about it.
In a trial exposing how Trump used fake news to get elected in 2016, Fox News continues to peddle the same fake news, to further the same agenda. Despite paying nearly $800,000,000 for admittedly lying to viewers about the 2020 election, Fox continues to falsely portray Trump’s trial, while embellishing stories like the “border invasion” to harm Trump’s political rivals. During voir dire, Jesse Watters, a Fox News commentator, announced on Foxthat “They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury,” painting Trump as a victim of the “deep state.” There was, and remains, no evidence of liberal activists trying to get on the jury.

TikTok disinformation is no more dangerous than Fox News disinformation
The question draws nuance from the context. In the context of elections, if Congress interferes with a foreign-owned media platform like TikTok, partly in the name of election security, why should a domestic corporation like Fox News, another known purveyor of election misinformation, be spared the same scrutiny? The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to require TikTok to divest its Chinese ownership or be banned in the U.S. because of national security concerns. The security risks identified by the bill’s sponsors include a Chinese law that gives Xi Jinping legal access to user data, along with China’s ability to meddle in U.S. elections. Millions of Americans are influenced by manufactured information campaigns every day. Over the past few years, the most aggressive online disinformation campaigns in the U.S. have targeted COVID-19vaccines, climate science and elections. Pew Research shows that the share of U.S. adults who want the federal government to restrict such false information has risen, from 39 percent in 2018 to 55 percent in 2023.

Fox News slapped with defamation suit for smearing innocent man as 'neo-Nazi murderer'
A Texas man has sued Fox News, Newsmax and other right-wing media outlets for falsely smearing him as a "neo-Nazi murderer" following a mass shooting last year at an outlet mall. The lawsuit alleges that Fox News,
Newsmax, Univision, Timcast, Steven Crowder, Owen Shroyer, Simon Ateba and Hollywood Unlocked all falsely identified 36-year-old Mauricio Garcia as the gunman who killed nine people and wounded seven others May 6, 2023, at Allen Premium Outlets. The actual shooter was a 33-year-old man with the same name who was later killed by police in the same area on an unrelated call.

Fox News Star Calls State Department Officials “Arrogant Punks”
At the U.S. State Department daily press briefing Department spokesperson Matthew Miller addressed concerns over Israel’s second military operation at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, saying: “We generally don’t want to see Israel operating inside hospitals in Gaza. We want hospitals to be protected sites.”At the same time, Miller acknowledged the complexities inherent in conducting the war, saying: “It would be great if Hamas stopped hiding behind civilians and stopped hiding inside civilian infrastructures including hospitals.” Miller also stressed that “Israel needs to have a sustainable, long term strategy when it comes to Gaza. It’s not enough to just clear certain neighborhoods or hospitals, or any other geographic areas or buildings of Hamas.” Fox News star Mark Levin, the pro-Trump host of the weekend show Life, Liberty & Levin, responded to a news summary of the State Department press briefing by writing, “Desist these arrogant candy a** punks lecturing Israel on what it should do.” (2Paragraphs 4/3/24) READ MORE>>>>> |
Fox News Goes After Judge in Trump’s Hush-Money Trial for Him
Donald Trump has attacked the judge in his hush-money trial so much that it earned him a massive gag order. Now Fox News is defending Trump by justifying the attacks. “The judge is threatening to put Trump in jail by pointing out that his liberal family is getting rich off this trial,” Fox host Jesse Watters said Tuesday night. “He just wants a new judge—one whose family isn’t funded by Democrats.” Trump’s attacks go far beyond simply requesting a new judge. The Republican presidential nominee has repeatedly attacked Judge Juan Merchan, his daughter, and his court staff and their families.

Chris Hayes Airs Rapid-Fire Montage of Fox Hosts Touting Now-Indicted Informant as Credible Source Against the Bidens
After months of touting the claims of a former FBI informant who now stands accused of lying to the Bureau, Fox News’ primetime lineup completely ignored this news after it broke on Thursday. Alexander Smirnov
was arrested on Thursday and charged with lying to the FBI. Key among his claims was that Joe Biden and
Hunter Biden illicitly received $5 million each from Ukrainian energy company Burisma while Joe was vice president and Hunter served on Burisma’s board. The payments, according to Smirnov, were meant to “protect” Burisma from corruption investigations. Republicans have falsely claimed that Joe Biden used his leverage as vice president to get the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor who was probing Burisma. However, the prosecutor was fired for not investigating corruption in the country.

Border Patrol union president Brandon Judd to Fox: Republicans are against the border bill for “political purposes”
BRANDON JUDD (NATIONAL BORDER PATROL COUNCIL): Well, nothing's changed my mind. I still agree with that. We need the president to enforce the law. But absent him enforcing the law, we do need bills that's going to force him to do that. I'm looking at this from real-world application. Right now, as we speak, there are no caps to illegal immigration. As many people that cross the border illegally, we have to take them into custody. Under this bill, there would be a cap at five thousand. So if we look at December, we had twelve thousand daily apprehensions. This would cap it at five thousand. And that cap does not mean that we release five thousand. But then let's look at yesterday. Yesterday, we apprehended sixty-five hundred people that entered the country illegally. Though of those sixty-five hundred people, at least 85% are being released. Under this bill, at least 60% of those people would have been held in custody pending a removal proceeding. So there's a lot less people that get released under this bill. So there's a lot of things in there. There's a lot of, mechanisms that are good. So real-world application.
