Megyn Kelly: "Who among us was not watching the Norwegians do their row thing?... Tens of thousands of them celebrating their sports team, playing at the World Cup, organized, clean-cut, fun, disciplined-thinking ... why can't we have those immigrants?"

Candidates endorsed by Zohran Mamdani swept the New York City Democratic primaries. Right-wing media isn't taking it well.

Dismal turnout for Trump’s “massive rally” mars Fox’s America 250 smear campaign www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/dis...

With Pride Month underway, right-wing media figures are outraged over any supportive social media posts from corporations and are attacking sports teams for “trying to out-gay one another..."

Last week, a QAnon influencer helped organize an election denial conference in Las Vegas, where speakers called on attendees to monitor voting precincts & to use "a tribunal" & a "legally prescribed penalty" like "a firing squad" as a possible solution to "improve our elections." My latest:

Jesse Watters on New York elections: “This is what happens when you import the third world”

“Weak” and “disgusting”: Right-wing media revolt against JD Vance over Iran negotiations Some in conservative media are declaring they have “never seen a weaker look from a Republican politician” New from me and Gideon Taaffe @mmfa.bsky.social www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

The MAGA-aligned commentators who spent years demanding a scorched-earth policy toward Tehran are now turning their weapons on the VP, openly mocking what they view as his capitulation.

Fox hosts have downplayed reports that consumers “may be tapping into savings for some items” and claimed Americans understand that the cost of living has gone up “for good reason.”

bannon on nyc goes from the knicks parade to ranting about "jewish intellectuals" in fewer than 200 words www.mediamatters.org/steve-bannon...

The Iran war is making everything more expensive. Fox keeps insisting “the consumer is doing very well.” www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

Kilmeade is one of several right-wing hawks who have adopted the position that Trump is prioritizing domestic politics over national security by pursuing sham negotiations until the midterms, after which he will reneg and resume bombing. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/new...

New cope from Iran hawks: Once the midterms pass, Trump will attack Iran again www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/new...

Jesse Watters on Cuba: “My banking buddy told me that after we topple Castro, we’re going to be able to buy 100 acres of pristine Cuban coastline for like 50 Gs”

The new theory Iran hawks are floating to avoid criticizing Trump is that the current negotiations are a sham: Trump is merely laying off temporarily to forestall Republican defeat in the midterms and will resume hostilities after the November elections. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/new...

On Newsmax: "Every war scenario since 1979 has involved the Iranians closing the strait. And for one reason or another, this administration was not prepared for that.”

The billionaire takeover of our newsrooms is accelerating, and the political calculations behind it are flagrant.

President Donald Trump, stymied by a war with Iran that seems destined to end with the United States in a weaker geopolitical position than before he launched it, turned his sights on an easier target over the weekend. www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

Right-wing media used footage from an emerging group of right-wing influencers to allege fraud during CA primary elections, a strategy they hope to repeat ahead of the midterms.

We're all trying to find the guy who did this.

Fox Business' Phil Flynn: Inflation isn't too bad “when you exclude food and energy”

Piers Morgan tells Tucker Carlson that Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin are “propagandists for a government that is making Israel increasingly globally unpopular” Morgan: “The idea that you can't criticize that government means you're not actually journalists” www.mediamatters.org/piers-morgan...

Bannon on the midterms: "We need to be at every precinct ... ICE has to be there and has to be there to back you up"

Newsmax guest on the MOU: “This is such a lopsided deal and the losses for President Trump are just mounting up”

Tucker Carlson on Trump's MOU with Iran: “A pretty humiliating loss for the United States”

Fox anchor Harris Faulkner complains about MLB Pride celebrations: “I don’t understand why they brought it into MLB anyway. It has nothing to do with the game.”

Fox Business contributor: Inflation isn't too bad “when you exclude food and energy”

On his radio show, Sean Hannity says that he spoke with Trump and that he doesn't think the president has even seen the memorandum of understanding www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

Ben Shapiro on Fox News: "This MOU appears to be, just from the text, a disaster. This does not achieve any of the actual signal goals that was set by the administration at the beginning." "In my opinion ... the VP, the chief negotiator on this particular project, has not well served the president"

Right-wing media are in open revolt against Trump's proposed memorandum of understanding that seeks to deescalate the Iran war.

Right-wing media figures, especially in Murdoch world, are furious at the MOU between the US and Iran. A Fox contributor said: "This doesn't feel like a victory." No, no it doesn't, because it isn't.

NEW from me for @mmfa.bsky.social: Right-wing and right-leaning online shows have earned millions of views platforming Fuentes, and some right-wing media figures praise Fuentes’ rhetorical skills and “aura” while others call him a “nutjob” and “raging racist”

Right-wing hawks are embarked on a truly pathetic effort to blame the MOU’s contents on Vance, while absolving Trump of responsibility for the document that he signed and publicly describes as “a very strong deal.” www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

Right-wing media hawks know that criticizing Trump directly could trigger an audience revolt. The result is a pathetic effort to blame the Iran MOU’s contents on J.D. Vance instead.

The MOU is so bad that Fox's Brian Kilmeade thinks Trump is being bamboozled by those around him “I'm just wondering if the people that negotiated this have informed the president about what's in the page and a half he's going to read publicly on Friday” 😂😅 www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

Kilmeade: "It's not acceptable for anyone that wants to make sure they [Iran] don't have a nuclear weapon."

Fox's Kilmeade: "It doesn't look like Iran was brought to it's knees ... it seems like Iran got a lot out of it ... maybe the president wasn't expecting, because he has enough plates in the air he can't be in every detail... maybe VP wasn't the right person to bring this conflict to an end"

Out of 136 Fox News segments covering Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico, two-thirds included anti-LGBTQ attacks.

Fox host Lawrence Jones on Trump's Iran deal: “I don't think it serves our audience by sugar coating it — there is some real dissent when it comes to this deal right now”

The debate over the reported MOU between the United States and Iran provides a test of whether, 10 years after Donald Trump first took power, his supporters are still capable of independent thought. Some of the biggest names in MAGA propaganda are failing it. www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

Laura Loomer calls for the Trump administration to investigate Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens

New: Sinclair's national programs offer a Trump-friendly spin on his costly oil and gas prices, while local broadcasts show harm to Americans www.mediamatters.org/fuel-files-r... Local stations — including some owned by Sinclair — have been at the forefront of documenting American pain at the pump

The lack of information about the reported Iran deal is deepening the rift between the MAGA movement’s hacks.

The reported Iran MOU is deepening the rift between the MAGA movement’s hacks, who are eager to portray any deal as an historic victory for the president, and its hawks, who warn that any agreement could backfire and strengthen the regime. www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...
