Podcast #80 - Fox News: A Festival of Biden Bashing, some Border Crisis Hysteria and More Hunter Nonsense.
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.

Podcast #79 - Fox News: Who's Trump? Biden is an Old Man, The Border is Being Overrun, and Climate Change is a Hoax!

Jesse Watters seemed to lose his mind a few times. Greg Gutfeld might be in the hospital? Biden wants to take away your beer! I include a Judge Jeanine impression and some goofiness along with media clips from Fox. This is a public episode.

Podcast #78 - Fox News: A Presidential Debate, A Mug Shot and How the Deep State is Coming For Every American.
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.

BONUS Podcast - The First GOP Debate - Fox News Wants Politics to be Worldwide Wrestling.
This is a breakdown of every question and some of the craziest answers. The moderators lost control of this one early and the crowd became the biggest character in some ways. There were boos and cheers. Vivek Ramaswamy seemed to fight with everyone. Nikki Haley is the only person who made sense. When asked about UFO's Chris Christie brought up the teachers union. It was a lot of candidates answering questions with canned answers that had nothing to do with the questions asked. Trump loomed large over the entire event. This is a public episode.

How Fox News Covered the 4th Indictment of Donald J. Trump
It's always fun to watch folks meltdown on Fox News. The indictment was announced late Monday night so I analyzed Jesse Watters Primetime to Hannity then Fox & Friends, The Five, and the regular primetime lineup on Tuesday. I captured and edited a total of 12 hours for this one. Fox personalities had meltdowns. Mark Levin lost his mind. The main theme - If they can do this to Trump they can do this to anyone. A bunch of folks acted like they invented the term - Lawfare. This is a public episode.
