Decoding Fox News does NOT have a large donor. I’m not in a program that gives me a stipend or travel expenses. I’m supported 100% through Substack subscriptions, Patreon supporters and small amount from Facebook and YouTube ads. No single supporter pays me more than $25 a month

The Pentagon press corps has worked in the building since it opened during the second World War. Today, they're gone.

Brian "I say horrible things" Kilmeade basically told the families of 9/11 victims to get over it! Who cares if your loved ones died or if the Crown Prince chopped up a journalist while he was still alive there's money to be made in the Middle East.

Jesse Watters misrepresented something Joy Behar said then went on a crazed rant where he blamed the collective 'left' for the murder of Charlie Kirk along with a shooting at an ICE facility and the attempts on Trump's life. Watters is part of the problem.

The folks at Fox News continue to promote the false narrative that Trump ordered 10,000 National Guard troops BEFORE the January 6th riots. His then Acting Sec. of Defense testified under oath that Trump made no such request. I included his testimony. RECEIPTS!

Fox News stopped talking about Herschel Walker after he lost his bid for a U.S. Senate seat. Walker was accused of paying for two abortions, terrorizing his son, ex-wife, and other women. He also had children he did not disclose to the public and had exaggerated his resume.

How much would it take for you to say out loud that Donald J. Trump has a perfect body? GW Bush and Barack Obama were both in great shape. Ronny Jackson also said a bullet track "produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear."

Fox & Friends is part of the Republican Party propaganda network. An activist openly shills for the Republican candidate for governor in NJ. At least this time, Fox correctly identified the man as a professional activist. The network sometimes portrays activists as random people.

Charlie Hurt insisted that the ACA (Affordable Care Act) also known as Obamacare was unpopular. He also argued far more people have been punished by Obamacare. I found TWO sources that showed the ACA was quite popular. It also greatly reduced the number of uninsured Americans.

Greg Gutfeld identifies as a comedian. He compared a podcast that featured Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) to a woman asking for a loan. He insisted he wasn't racist. I think this was supposed to be a joke. I'd love to help him but it's not my call. 🤷‍♀️

Fox News paid $787.5 million in a defamation settlement to Dominion Voting Systems for knowingly promoting false stories about the 2020 election. Someone might tell Jesse Watters that Fox News is still facing a $2 billion lawsuit from Smartmatic for the same reason.

Brian "kill all the homeless people" Kilmeade lectured air traffic controllers about working without pay. Kilmeade is paid millions. He could probably go without pay for a while and not feel it. Most Americans can't do that.

Although Fox News covered the Israel-Hamas war when it first started the network hasn't dedicated much airtime to it for at least a year. It's fairly obvious in this clip the cast of "Fox & Friends" haven't seen many images from Gaza. Fox rarely featured anything from Gaza.

From Pam Bondi's Senate hearing - Does she think it's illegal to wear goggles or a gas mask? Does she think Americans are trying to prohibit ICE agents from using goggles or gas masks? Maybe they just don't want a secret police force that won't identify themselves.

Jesse Watters LOVES Stephen Miller and he is unashamed. It's a special kind of love - angry repressed bro love filled with layers of self-loathing and misogyny.

Jesse Watters tried to make a protester he dubbed "Antifa Kermit" look menacing. I added the words of Secretary of Homeland Security describing Antifa along with some footage of Antifa protesters from an ABC affiliate Local 10 News. The music is royalty free.🎶🪩💃🕺

The folks at Fox were REALLY upset that Donald J. Trump didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. This is the first time I've heard Alfred Nobel's decision to create the Nobel prizes as "spin." He donated 94% of his great wealth to set up the foundation

They didn’t know how to spin it.

Fox News has largely ignored the Israel-Hamas conflict for several months, at least on the shows I covered - Fox & Friends, The Five and the primetime shows. This is a graph with some additional commentary. Some weeks Cracker Barrel was mentioned more than Israel.

The crazy thing is she’s one of the smarter people on Fox News. I don’t know how Jesse Watters functions. He’s dumb as bricks.

I know all about it. I used to make political satire videos. I made one called “Dana Perino the Music Video” that included that quote. Her husband was disappointed in her, “Oh Dana…”

Decoding Fox News @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social · 1d

Dana Perino seemed a bit confused on why no women hostages were released today by Hamas. Although some women were killed while being held by Hamas most were released during brief ceasefires in Nov. 2023 and Jan - Feb. 2025

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

One of my favorite plays - it's a broad dark comedy. I used to have two cats Vladimir and Estrogon. Gogo's name confused vets. 😂

The man playing the baritone saxophone is the band leader and arranger. His arrangements are insane.
