BONUS Podcast - Tucker Carlson Got Fired by Fox News and the World is a Better Place!
In this episode I go through a retrospective of sorts of the best and worst Tucker Carlson clips including the Jon Stewart takedown of Tucker Carlson on Crossfire as well as montages of Carlson talking about testosterone and spanking. It's a festival of mockery and disgust. The Wicked Witch is Dead at least for now. This is a public episode.

Podcast #59 - How the Leaked Pentagon Document Story Got Increasingly Warped on Fox News
In this episode I breakdown how a story about a Pentagon leak got became completely warped by Fox News as more information about the right-leaning leaker came out. According to Tucker Carlson we are already in WW3 whereas Hannity blames the Biden crime syndicate for the actions of a rogue 21-year-old who lives with his parents. This is a public episode.

Podcast #58 - How Fox News Combined Two Protests to Create a False Narrative about the Nashville Shooting
Last week Fox News created a false narrative by tying two non-related protests with the school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. I breakdown the network's manipulation beat by beat over the span of two weeks. It's a bit dark at times but there's a ray of hope at the end. I also threw in a goofy voice...and a silly story about my life in New York City. This is a public episode.

Podcast #57 - Fox News REALLY wanted to Demonize Trans People and then Trump Got Indicted.
Fox News was determined to demonize the entire trans community based on the actions of a mass shooter in Nashville, Tennessee. The network dramatically shifted focus on Thursday when the New York City D.A. Alvin Bragg announced that former President Donald J. Trump would be indicted. In this episode I breakdown how Fox News manipulated the shooting to smear a marginalized group of people and how reckless and insensitive they were with their coverage. I threw in a funny clip featuring Sen. Lindsey Graham at the end for balance. This is a public episode.

BONUS Podcast - The Night Donald J. Trump was Indicted in New York City - How Fox Primetime Reacted
On Thursday night, after the announcement of the criminal indictment of Donald J. Trump, I captured every show from "The Five" to "The Ingraham Angle." On this episode I break it all down - Sen. Lindsey Graham cried and begged for donations for Trump, Jesse Watters had a meltdown, Tucker Carlson told people to hold on to their AR-15's. Glenn Beck basically predicted the end of the world. It was one big ball of hysteria. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit decodingfoxnews.substack.com/subscribe

Podcast #56 - Ron vs. Don - Fox News Tried to Play Both Sides in the Trump and DeSantis Battle
Last week Fox desperately tried to promote both DeSantis and Trump at the same time. Doocy loved DeSantis, Jesse Watters had a meltdown over Trump, Laura Ingraham started out favoring DeSantis but by Friday had fallen in love with Trump again. A whirlwind week of dueling wannabe fascists. This is a public episode.

Podcast #55 - A Woke Bank, A Crashed Drone and Buckets of Outrage!
Fox freaked out about a woke bank that wasn't woke while Hannity nearly declared WW3 over the unmanned drone crash in the Black Sea. Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade openly sparred over Kilmeade's embellishment of facts in two segments. I briefly imitate Doocy, Judge Jeanine and everyone's favorite - Kari Lake.

Podcast #54 - Tucker Carlson's Big Reveal About Jan. 6th Showed Absolutely Nothing
Last week Tucker Carlson acted as if he was about to blow the lid off the January 6th Committee findings but he really just presented a few clips of people wandering around the Capitol. It was a nothing burger of less than 11 minutes of coverage. Fox News hosts also discussed the possibility of sending cruise missiles to Mexico to fight the drug cartels and Brian Kilmeade complained about the less than exciting Congressional investigations.

Jessica Tarlov managed to get some excellent points about East Palestine and Jesse Watters expressed his disillusionment over the lackluster Congressional investigations. This is a public episode.
