Podcast #234 - Fox News: A Festival of the Fear of Foreigners
As Trump travels across the country to give speeches in mostly deeply red states his propaganda machine is running out of ideas. The network has tried every way possible to lift the president’s sagging poll numbers and boost Republican candidates in the midterm elections. It’s not working. Most...

Podcast #233 - Fox News: A Funeral for a Movement that Doesn’t Know it’s Dead Yet

Podcast #230 - Fox News and The Trump-A-FLOP-ooza
Last week as the Republican Party held a 14-hour Midterm election extravaganza Fox News, the network most closely aligned with the president and the GOP, downplayed the event.

-
Podcast #229 - Fox News is Still Trying to Tell Trump ‘It’s the Economy Stupid’
Every now and then I see cracks in the matrix of the well-formed Fox News propaganda apparatus. President Trump’s many manic social media posts, the failing war in Iran and his rapidly sinking poll numbers are all taking their toll on the network. Fox News hosts are tired of the nonstop chaos…

Podcast #228 - Fox News is Desperately Trying to Make the Midterms About a Twitch Streamer
If desperation had a scent all of Midtown Manhattan would be overwhelmed from the stench generated by Fox News headquarters. What started out as a dream for the network on January 20, 2025, has turned into a nightmare of another never-ending war in the Middle East, high gas prices, a rise in the...
-
Podcast #227 - Fox News and the Fear of a Powerful Black Woman
Fox News took things to another level last week in the network’s attempts to avoid talking about Trump’s disastrous war in the Middle East, high gas prices, a sluggish economy and the president’s obsession with his gilded building projects. The network spent over 1/3 of its airtime on the shows I...
-
Podcast #226 - Fox News: GOOOOOOOO Capitalism!

Podcast #224 - Fox News: Dr. Fauci's Diary Will Not Make the Iran War Go Away
As the president’s ill-conceived conflict with Iran becomes more unstable and chaotic his personal propaganda machine has run out of ways to spin it to its viewers. Last week the network was more than happy to hype up a personal vendetta Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has against Dr. Anthony Fauci,...
-
Podcast #223 - Hey Trump Even Fox News Hates Your War!
Most of the folks at Fox News last week looked like they would rather endure a drug-free root canal performed by a trained chimpanzee than talk about Trump’s disastrous war in Iran. The conflict that was supposed to be over in a matter of weeks has dragged on for months with no real end in sight....
-
Podcast #222 - Even Fox News Cannot Put Lipstick on the Bloated Pig Anymore
Last week the folks at Fox News seemed like the frustrated parents of a juvenile delinquent son who was caught setting his high school principal’s car on fire. The network had no problem spinning measles outbreaks, the Epstein files coverup, the murder of Iranian school children, the mass pardon…

Podcast #213 - Step Right Up and Get Your Very Own Handshaking Trump Doll!

Podcast #209 - Fox News Humiliates Itself for the Glorious Leader
