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.

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

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.

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.

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.

This past week Fox News hosts took the Department of Energy's report about the lab leak to push every single conspiracy theory about COVID-19 as fact. 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.

This week I explore how Fox News tried to equate the train derailment to the war in Ukraine, how Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham took a Biden speech wildly out of context and how the network seems to be making a pivot to a certain bombastic governor.
