Fox news
Fox News was once considered the hub of all conservative media and a favorite network of President Donald Trump and his acolytes. Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News host, invited Trump ally Steve Bannon to his program, with both framing the networking as pushing propaganda to its viewers.
Carlson invited Bannon to his eponymously named program, and the pair spoke on President Donald Trump’s second term, the political climate in America, and the burgeoning conflict between Iran and Israel. They opened up the show discussing Trump’s policies, centering much of their critique on how the administration is handling the situation in the Middle East.
Much of their conversation meanders about and centers on Israel and the state of affairs regarding domestic unrest under the Trump administration early on, but around the 7:00-minute mark, Carlson aims Fox News with Bannon adding in similar criticism.
“I never criticize Fox because they were so kind to me,” Carlson said. “But they are playing a central role in the propaganda operation here.”
Bannon seized upon this moment after Carlson shared that he helped push the narrative surrounding the Iraq War, which seemed to rankle Bannon and caused him to launch into a further examination of the media’s role in the conflict and its perception stateside.
“An epic, failed war. We were lied to about everything,” Bannon fired back. “ Because if you remember, at first, the American people supported it, given the information they were given. Then later, they realized that, hey, not only was the initial predicate for this a lie, all the updates were kind of a lie. We really weren’t winning.”
Carlson and Bannon continued to take hits at Fox News for pushing a pro-war agenda under Trump’s watch, later turning their attention to so-called “Never Trumpers” surrounding the president and holding jobs in the current administration.
On X, reactions to Tucker Carlson and Steven Bannon’s comments appeared, and we’ve posted some below.

It’s unclear whether former defense intelligence agency officer Rebekah Koffler was intoxicated or if she was having a medical emergency but either way, Fox News cut the interview short after Koffler went on an incoherent rant about Donald Trump and his lame military parade to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary.
“I’m so excited, Emily and Lucas Tomlinson,” Koffler, who seemed to slurring her words, said to Fox News anchors Emily Compagno and Lawrence Jones. “Everybody, like this is incredible! Finally, the United States is back! I want to really thank all of our army, navy and air force officers who’ve been sacrificing their lives, literally. Their families have been contributing to the mission,” she said after misidentifying the Fox and Friends host, Variety reports.
She continued, “With our new Commander in Chief, Donald J. Trump, they are prioritizing America first. And I want to thank these officers for all of their sacrifices and all of the hardships that their families have endured. Lawrence Jones, you’re doing….you’re rocking man!”
Koffler tried to continue, but Jones and Compagno cut all of that short about a minute and a half into her disaster of an appearance and quickly went to a commercial break.
Koffler claimed that she wasn’t drunk despite posting a photo of champagne on her social media and noting that she planned on refilling her glass before her live appearance on Fox News.
After social media began clowning Koffler’s unbalanced, slurring, nonsensical rant that was live on TV, the totally not drunk Koffler took to social media to defend her totally not drunk appearance as fake news.
Because God loves us more than we will ever know, Trump’s Army anniversary parade just so happened to be on the same day as the “No Kings” protests, a nationwide protest against the president and his racist deportation raids.
His showcase of America’s weaponry was a huge flop, but at least we have Koffler’s totally not drunk appearance on Fox News.

One drunkard from Fox News isn’t enough to fill Donald Trump’s heada** cabinet. The Orange Menace tapped one of his biggest fans, Jeanine Pirro, as the interim top DC prosecutor.
Clearly, with Trump, the only qualifications you need to land a job in his administration are a talent for kissing his oversized orange a**, being a douche and have some run-in with law enforcement.
Jeanine Pirro Is The Perfect Candidate For A Role In The Trump Administration
Pirro easily checks all of those boxes. She staunchly defends her president on Fox News and was ticketed for excessive speeding in Upstate New York after she was clocked at 119mph on the radar.
Oh, and she also had an episode on her show Justice With Judge Jeanine in 2020, when she appeared visibly drunk, leading to her stumbling to form sentences and delaying the show.
The incident earned her the nickname “Judge Box O’ Wine” and has since resurfaced following Trump’s announcement that he was stupidly giving her the job she has no business having.
“I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia,” Felon 47 wrote on crappy platform, Truth Social. “Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge, and District Attorney, where she was the first woman ever to be elected to those positions. During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime.”
He continued, “Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office was the first in the Nation. She excelled in all ways. In addition to her Legal career, Jeanine previously hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television,” he added. “Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!”
Jeanine Pirro’s Husband Is Also A Crook
Of course, Pirro’s husband is a despicable person in his own right. He was indicted on 66 counts of federal tax fraud.
Per Crooks & Liars:
Albert J. Pirro was indicted on 66 counts of federal tax fraud. The Feds say Pirro hid $1 million in income between 1988 and 1997, claiming dozens of personal luxuries as business expenses, from his $123,000 Ferrari to his wife’s Mercedes-Benz, New York Magazine reported in 1999. And she hasn’t practiced law in 20 years. Just normal stuff!
X Is Dragging Both Trump and Jeanine Pirro
Like with Trump’s head-scratching choice for Surgeon General, X, formerly Twitter, is absolutely dragging Trump’s decision to give Pirro the job for now.
“Jeanine Pirro, Sean “Real World” Duffy, Pete “Whisky Leaks” Hegseth, Linda “A1” McMahon, and the entire trash trump cabinet are proof that they don’t give a FUCK about “merit hires.” They’re unfit clowns. ALL OF THEM,” one post read.
Another post read, “After hiring unqualified and incompetent drunk Pete Hegseth to be Defense Secretary, Trump’s doubling down by giving serious consideration to unqualified and incompetent drunk Jeanine Pirro as US Attorney for DC. There has never been a more incompetent president than Trump, EVER.”
Lord help us, it hasn’t been a year, and this crazy ride is far from over.

2. Judge Box O’ Wine LMAO
3. This will land you any job in the Trump administration
4. Trump uses Fox News like it’s LinkedIn

Kamala Harris has agreed to an interview on Fox News and is looking at sitting down with Joe Rogan for an interview on his podcast, capturing the interest of cautious social media fans.
With three weeks until the presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris is making a big play for moderate Republican and undecided voters by agreeing to an interview on Fox News and potentially one with Joe Rogan. The news has left some on social media cautious about these moves and others confident that she would do well in the interviews. According to reports, Vice President Harris will sit down with chief political anchor Bret Baier on a special episode of Special Report with Bret Baier. The episode will air on Wednesday (October 16) with the interview taking place in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. Harris is also weighing whether to be a guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast, which is hosted on Spotify. Her campaign team has reportedly met with Rogan’s staff.
The push for Harris to appear on Rogan’s top-rated podcast (which has 14.5 million viewers)is crucial as polls currently have her in the lead over the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The Fox News interview would also be her first on the network. The news comes as Trump has opted out of major media appearances down the stretch, most notably with 60 Minutes earlier this month. Trump has also had a tiff with Rogan, taking shots at him on his Truth Social network in August before recanting and calling him “a good guy.”. Rogan said in 2022 that he wouldn’t back Trump in an election, opting to support then-independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Social media greeted the news with a mixture of caution and approval. Some observed that liberals were rushing to applaud the move while having berated Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders for appearing on Rogan’s show in the past. Others felt that Harris would be more than capable of handling herself with Baier and Rogan. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, political commentator Matthew Sheffield wrote of how beneficial Harris’ decision to do Rogan’s show could be: “Rogan is conservative, but he’s not a Fox hack. This group needs to be addressed rather than ceded to Trump. She’s got the facts his audience needs.”

Donald Trump debated Vice President Kamala Harris last night (September 10) on ABC News, and is now speaking up regarding his showing and outside critique of the debate. In an appearance on a Fox News morning show, Donald Trump blasted two anchors from the network, stating he would not want them modering a potential second debate.
Donald Trump phoned into the Fox & Friends morning show on Wednesday (September 11), accusing moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis of heavily fact-checking his statements and not doing the same for his opponent.
Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy asked the former president if he would consider holding another debate after Fox News offered the opportunity for an undetermined October date. Trump used this moment to attack Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, based on their criticism of his debate showing against Vice President Harris.
“Well, I wouldn’t want to have Martha and Bret,” Trump said. “I’d love to have somebody else other than Martha and Bret. I’d love to have, frankly, Sean [Hannity] or Jesse [Watters] or Laura [Ingraham]. You know, somebody else. Let’s give let’s give other people a shot.”
Trump continued, “But I didn’t think Martha and Bret were so good last night. Yes, he was. Jesse was fantastic last night. What he said, Jesse. Really got it. Jesse said to Trump once that debate that was we won that debate by a lot. And I wouldn’t want Martha involved.”
When asked if he would accept the October debate offer from Fox News, Trump appeared to sidestep the offer and claimed victory on the debate stage over Harris.
“Well, I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night. We won the debate. We had a terrible, terrible network. I think they were terrible. They should be embarrassed,” Trump said of ABC News. “I mean, they kept correcting me and I said what I said was largely right or I hope it was right. But what they said was absolutely wrong.”
Vice President Harris has said she welcomes a second debate with Donald Trump.
Live on Fox, Trump insults the two Fox anchors who have been pitched as debate moderators – Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum – and says “I wouldn’t want to have” them. He says he would want Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham to host instead. (An obvious non-starter.) pic.twitter.com/uXVJtnYn8L

A moment where Vice President Kamala Harris was seen wearing earbuds before a flight upset a Fox News host but left social media users perplexed.
As the presidential race between Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump continues, the right-wing media outlet Fox News has been fixated on minute things about Vice President Harris including her use of earbuds. This came in the form of a segment, introduced by its host John Roberts. “Presidential nominee Kamala Harris,” he began. “She did break her media silence last week in a sit-down interview alongside running mate Tim Walz, but now she appears to be using a new method to dodge press questions…A pair of earbuds.”
A video of Vice President Harris exiting an SUV and walking towards Air Force 2 is shown, and she is seen waving to people off-camera with earbuds in her ears as she ascends the stairs to the airplane. Roberts comes back and asks, “So, was she really on a call, or was that just a feint?” The network and other media outlets have been consistently stating that the vice president hasn’t been forthcoming with doing interviews with the press, showing their frustration through several opinion editorial articles since she was officially declared the nominee two weeks ago. Harris would sit down with her vice presidential running mate Walz in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash last week.
Those who got wind of the Fox News segment expressed their confusion at how the network saw an issue with Vice President Harris using earbuds. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, user John Challen recalled another moment that the network was obsessed with something trivial with another Black presidential figure: “Is that her ‘tan suit’ moment on Fox?! These people are so odd.” Another by the name of Brenna wrote, “When there’s actually zero scandals…this is what they’re reduced to.” Meanwhile, supporters of Trump were busy reposting the clips in an attempt to nail her for seeming to backtrack on her position of not using wired earbuds in 2021.

Donald Trump announced that he’s dropping out of a debate on ABC and is trying to force a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News.
On Saturday (Aug. 3), Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced that he won’t be taking part in the scheduled presidential debate on ABC, and is instead, stating that he’ll only debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News. In a post on his Truth Social platform, the former president insulted Harris, writing that she “doesn’t have the mental capacity to do a REAL Debate against me, scheduled for September 4th in Pennsylvania.” He went on to say that “I’ll see her on September 4th or, I won’t see her at all.” Representatives for Fox News haven’t responded to press inquiries.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Vice President Harris called Trump out, writing: “It’s interesting how ‘any time, any place’ becomes ‘one specific time, one specific safe space.’ I’ll be there on September 10th, like he agreed to. I hope to see him there.” Another post from her campaign team reiterated her stance in a stronger tone, writing that Trump was “running scared” and calling him “Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace.”
Trump agreed to two debates with President Joe Biden in May. The first was held in Atlanta on CNN on June 27, and the second is scheduled for ABC on Sept. 10, with its chief political anchor George Stephanopoulos as moderator. Trump said in an earlier Truth Social post that he wanted to debate Harris on Sept. 4 because of Biden withdrawing from the race and the “conflict of interest” with Stephanopoulos moderating, citing a lawsuit he filed against the network.
Trump has attacked the anchor and ABC in previous interviews, calling them “fake news” in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. Trump has been mocked on social media since Biden’s stepping down and endorsing Harris as the Democratic candidate for the election. Observers feel that Trump avoiding a debate with Harris would cost him dearly, including former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci who stated in a CNN Newsroom interview that it “would be a disaster for him if he doesn’t debate the vice president.”

A guest on the Fox Business Network called Vice President Kamala Harris the original “Hawk Tuah” girl, and social media expressed their disgust.The attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris since her bid to become the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate have ramped up and taken on more racist and sexist tones. A new example came from Alec Lace, who was a guest ona panel on the Fox Business Network. During a segment on July 21 discussing Harris taking over as President Joe Biden decided to drop out of the race, Lace stated: “And there’s the DEI Press Secretary telling you that the DEI Vice President is the future of the party here. So the future for the Democrats looks quite dim. Kamala Harris, she is the original Hawk Tuah girl — that’s the way she got where she is, and the party is going downhill if it’s in her hands.”
Lace was comparing Vice President Harris to Hailey Welch, the 22-year-old woman who recently became a viral sensation for describing the spitting noise made while performing oral sex during a street interview. The comment drew only a mild rebuke from the host, Dagen McDowell who chuckled nervously and said, “That was harsh.” Lace has not appeared on the network since making the comments, but he has stood by them on social media. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the conservative author asked his followers: “Did I go too far on FOX News calling Kamala Harris the OG Hawk Tuah girl or am I right over the target?” In a statement to TMZ, he doubled down, saying: “I’m more concerned with how the MSM has radicalized people with their dangerous rhetoric about President Donald Trump which almost got him killed.”
The clip led many on social media to be highly outraged over Lace’s words, with many pointing out how he describes himself as a “father of four” and also mocking him for being someone desperate for attention. One X user wrote, “All of their daughters are watching.” Another user, Alexander Nazaryan, wrote about the ineffectiveness of the attack: “The problem with turning Kamala Harris into a meme is that memes don’t last, and they have a much more limited appeal than it might seem.”
Take a look at some of the responses to Lace’s comments below.

With VP Kamala Harris now officially running for President, the alleged racists on the Right are foaming at the mouth. Case in point, on Tuesday morning (July 24), during a segment on Fox and Friends discussing Harris choosing not to attend Isreal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing Congress, host Brian Kilemeade called historically Black sorority Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. a “colored sorority.”
“She’d rather address, in the summer, a sorority…a colored sorority, like she can’t get outta that!,” said Kilmeade. Yes, we are in 2024, and “colored” has entered the chat. By the way, that’s an outdated, racist way to describe a person of color (big difference).
Instead of watching Trump’s buddy Netanyahu kick propaganda, VP Harris will be attending and speaking Zeta Phi Beta’s national convention in New Orleans. Despite the Black Greek Lettered Organization’s storied history—it was founded in 1920 on the campus of Howard University and its rolls of accomplished members (Sheryl Underwood, Dionne Warwick) who are Black women—Kilmeade figures Harris should just cancel.
Wait until he finds out Harris is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., thus the respect is there. But the context would probably fly over his allegedly bigoted head.
The FOX News nitwit is currently getting dragged for all the filth, and deservedly so. Shout out to the Black man on the panel—Lawrence Jones III—who sat there like a soft shoe clown while the white guy went full racist, allegedly. Even white people saw the jig.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson declined to endorse either of the two main candidates for the 2024 presidential campaign in an interview.
In an interview on Fox News’ Fox & Friends, pro-wrestler-turned-actor and entrepreneur Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson declared that he wouldn’t be making a public endorsement in this year’s presidential race. In 2020, Johnson used his platform to endorse now-President Joe Biden. “The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” Johnson said to Will Cain, who interviewed Johnson as he was preparing for the WWE’s Wrestlemania 41 being held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“And I thought back then, when we talked about, ‘Hey, I am in this position where I have some influence, and it’s my job then.’ I felt like that then. ‘It is my job now to exercise my influence and share with, ‘This is who I am going to endorse.’” Notably, Donald Trump has had long-standing ties with the WWE. “Am I going to do that again this year? That answer is no. I’m not going to do that, because what I realized what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts, back then and now, which is division,” Johnson continued.
The 51-year-old shared his thoughts on the state of the country. “Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer is no. Do I believe that we are going to get better? I believe in that. I’m an optimistic guy, and I believe we can get better.” Cain asked him what was most important to him. “To be real…Authenticity. We hear that word a lot, but that is important to me,” Johnson replied, citing “wokeness” and “cancel culture” as things that he feels contribute to the division in the nation.
“I’m not a politician. I’m not into politics,” he stated, adding: “I care deeply about our country. I’m a patriot, and I believe you are too, as well. And right now, my desire and my priorities are my babies and school drop-offs and pickups — that’s important to me.” Johnson has flirted in the past with a potential presidential run, making mention of it during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon in 2017. It even became part of the core plot of the NBC sitcom based on his life, Young Rock, which ran for three seasons.
