Monday night was a perfect case study in how Fox covers for Trump administration malfeasance www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/how...

Fox’s Monday night programs were a perfect case study.

Jones: “Now is the time to nonviolently, politically, knives out on [Bondi]"

As of noon ET, Fox News has not mentioned reports that its then-employee Tom Homan accepted a bag of cash from undercover FBI agents as part of a corruption probe closed under the Trump administration. www.mediamatters.org/immigration/...

It's 12:20 PM EST on September 22nd and Fox News has yet to address on-air the recent reports that their former contributor and current White House border czar Tom Homan accepted a bag of cash from undercover FBI agents as part of a corruption investigation.

Bannon: “There can be no half measures here. If you want a half measure, get away from me”

Gutfeld: "You have to look at this like mutually assured destruction"

The Trump administration is consolidating American media in the hands of right-wing billionaires. @chrislhayes.bsky.social explains in under two minutes ⬇️ www.mediamatters.org/chris-hayes/...

Right-wing media quickly found a wide range of people and institutions to blame for Charlie Kirk's death

I warned last October that if Donald Trump returned to the White House, the fate of the free press would depend on the willingness of corporate media executives to fight for it. It's not going well. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Just as a reminder that as our national civic and governmental institutions circle the drain of competitive authoritarianism... the right-wingers still really desperately want to make sure they strip Social Security away from old people. www.mediamatters.org/fox-business...

ABC’s announcement that it was putting Jimmy Kimmel Live! on indefinite hiatus in the face of White House threats is the latest sign that U.S. media are increasingly coming under the control of Trump and his MAGA movement.

Fox News completely ignored the Senate Health Committee hearing that included testimony from Susan Monarez, the recently fired Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director.

In the wake of Kirk’s killing by an apparent leftist whose alleged motive was to stop Kirk’s “hate,” they are backfilling whatever explanations they can conjure up to avoid admitting the existence of political violence from the right. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/aft...

I wrote about the history of the military embed program, the way it was used to sell the Invasion of Iraq, and how Fox News adopted the same optics as Trump surged ICE agents into Chicago. It's just one of many parallels between the Trump and GW Bush eras. Latest at @mmfa.bsky.social

As Trump unleashes his deportation machine on Chicago and beyond, Fox News is along for the ride.

Fox News continued the Trump administration’s campaign to oust Lisa Cook even after two reports from Reuters seemed to exonerate her. His blatant effort to take control of the Federal Reserve threatens the entire global financial system. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

Fox host: “All it takes is one fishing boat with a broken radio or people who don't speak English and you're killing innocent civilians”

Fox continued Trump’s campaign to fire Fed board member Lisa Cook just before reports seemed to exonerate her

How many orders of magnitude worse is Trump’s corruption than various Hunter Biden claims the right said justified his father’s impeachment: An investigation www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/ano...

Right-wing media rushed to blame killing of Charlie Kirk on trans people www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

On the killing of Charlie Kirk, political violence, and the right’s response

"What’s happening to CBS News is neither complicated nor subtle: The billionaire son of a Trumpist oligarch is remaking a U.S. news institution to be less of a thorn in the president’s side," @mattgertz.bsky.social writes about the new CBS ombudsman. www.mediamatters.org/cbs/how-cbs-...

If Weinstein doesn’t take up the right’s cause, or if he does but is then overruled by Paramount’s corporate leadership, that will trigger a new round of right-wing denunciations -- and perhaps regulatory retaliation. Much more here: www.mediamatters.org/cbs/how-cbs-...

"Would it really be that crazy for Jeffrey Epstein to, like, forge that Donald Trump ... wrote this in his birthday card to show people?”

A surge of unregulated “GLP-1 patches” are being sold on TikTok Shop, with promoters claiming Ozempic-like weight loss results — despite the platform's ban on the sale of weight loss products.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld once offered a stirring condemnation of Trump's "antiscience," "stupid," "deadly," and "destructive" linkage of autism to vaccines. These days he's caping for the "open-minded" RFK Jr. against his purportedly “unglued” critics. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/gre...

It’s all so predictable: As the weird Trump birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein is released, MAGA media cling to their claims that it was a hoax

Kilmeade’s co-host suggested families move if they aren't satisfied with their state's education, and Kilmeade responded: "Some people just can't move”

Trump's "Chipocalypse Now" meme appears to have come from conspiracy theory channel Next News Network. The channel has pushed conspiracy theories like claiming Biden wore a wire during the 2020 debate & Obama admin officials killed Osama bin Laden's body double. www.mediamatters.org/google/youtu...

After Trump addressed the White House's "Religious Liberty Commission" and advocated for returning prayer to public school, Harris Faulkner called his agenda “his divine assignment.”

Rachel Campos-Duffy: “Are they just threatening for more checks, or do they really want justice?”

A Fox Business guest baselessly suggested there should be a federal investigation into Zohran Mamdani's campaign. John Catsimatidis: “If the Department of Justice or whoever, can create the proof that he knew there was foreign money helping him... he should be knocked out of the race.”

Jesse Watters cheers on escalation with Venezuela: “Normal people like to see the war on drugs fought as a war”

Right-wing media has spent August and September agitating for war on Venezuela to the point of regime change. Whether Trump follows through is an open question, but the direction is clear www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/rig...

Fox News isn’t sure whether or not you should trust the monthly BLS jobs report ever since them numbers turned south. This is the same outlet that used to scream about unambiguously positive Obama and Biden era reports. www.mediamatters.org/fox-business...
