Fox News, known for its rightward slant, has consistently gone to bat for Donald Trump, both during the campaign and through his first year in office. But a new poll from Suffolk University shows that, since arriving at the Oval Office, Trump’s numbers have cratered — even among loyal Fox viewers. In January, people who rated […]

Fox News’ smear campaign against special counsel Robert Mueller just hit a major stumbling block thanks to information unearthed by the Wall Street Journal. Ironically, the conservative Journal is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns Fox. The Journal reports that FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was removed from the investigation for texts that were […]

As the Russia investigation inches closer to the Oval Office, Donald Trump and his allies have launched an all-out smear campaign aimed at discrediting everyone associated with the probe and the institutions running it. Fox News has led the charge, with hosts like Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, Greg Jarrett, and Lou Dobbs comparing the FBI to Russia’s […]

Donald Trump’s recent decision to move the United States’ embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is being nearly universally condemned as an unnecessary provocation within a region that has long struggled to find peace. Recently adding his voice to the debate was Pope Francis. “I cannot hide my deep concern for the situation […]

Roy Moore has become the problem Sean Hannity just can’t quit. Not only is Moore’s disastrous Senate campaign hurting the Fox News host politically, as he tries to prop up the scandal-plagued Republican nominee, but Moore is now damaging Hannity’s bottom line. Thanks to Moore and the raging controversy that surrounds his campaign, with more women continuing […]

Fox News, Donald Trump’s quasi-official propaganda outlet, wants Americans to stop asking questions about the botched mission Trump authorized that led to the murder of four American soldiers.

Former Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly paid $32 million to settle new sexual misconduct allegations just one month before Fox News extended his contract, according to a new report by The New York Times. This was at least the sixth payout, and by far the largest, made by O’Reilly or Fox News to settle claims of sexual […]

Ever since Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson released the details of Donald Trump’s callous, insulting phone call in which he told bereaved, pregnant Army wife Myeshia Johnson that her husband “signed up” to die, she has become a target for Trump and his right-wing allies, even receiving death threats. Fox News in particular has savaged Wilson. […]

Desperate to shore up its once-indomitable ratings, Fox News is reportedly moving Sean Hannity to the 9 p.m. hour, while syndicated radio host Laura Ingraham gets set to debut a new show at 10 pm. The move sets up cable news ratings showdown between Hannity and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. Her program airs at 9 p.m., […]

Cosmopolitan magazine ignited a firestorm on the right when they released an innocuous enough list of women who had “generated 2020 buzz” as presidential contenders — featuring only Democrats. Because naturally, only Democrats are looking at running a campaign against Donald Trump, in the hope to make him a one-term president. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), […]

Fox News Channel is a failed state. Fox News should be in a great place right now: Republicans control the House and Senate, and the vulgarian that Fox incubated for years and transformed into a political figure now inhabits the White House. Yet, Fox has never been in such a horrible spot in its entire […]

Fox News’ newest round of opinion polling shows bad news for Trump from top to bottom. Trump’s overall approval rating is down 5 percent from Fox’s last poll, to an anemic 41 percent approval.
