This administration's motto should be "Facts, however interesting, are irrelevant." Guess where I learned that.

What Does It Take for Fox News to Rebuke One of Its Hosts?
On her show Saturday night, Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro, one of President Trump’s faves, accomplished a rare feat: She said something so awful that the network had to publicly condemn her.http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/03/tucker-carlson-jeanine-pirro-and-fox-news-rebukes.htmlhttps://www.vox.com/2019/3/17/18269734/fox-news-jeanine-pirro-islamophobic-remarks“In a statement, Fox News condemned the judge, saying ‘Ms. Pirro’s remarks do not reflect those of the network,’ adding, ‘we reminded her we’re doing Mexicans this week.'” -- Stephen Colbert

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump's posthumous slam on Sen. John McCain flips reality on its head when it comes to who gave veterans the option to see a private doctor at public expense.
"McCain didn't get the job done for our great vets," Trump said Wednesday. "I got it done."
Actually, McCain got it done.
Trump routinely takes full credit for enacting the Choice program, ignoring the fact that it was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2014. https://www.foxnews.com/us/ap-fact-check-trumps-slam-on-mccain-ignores-who-aided-vets

Fox News' Geraldo Rivera had strong words for Border Patrol agents after an expose brought to light a secret Facebook group comprised of former and current members that included vulgar and disparaging comments aimed at immigrants and Hispanic congresswomen.
"This ProPublica expose is an indication of the kind of moral exhaustion within the Border Patrol now that can not be tolerated. Members of Congress must be treated with respect. You cannot insult the dead body of a migrant father... trying to get his young child across the Rio Grande," Rivera said.https://www.foxnews.com/politics/geraldo-rivera-border-patrol-must-show-decency

He's a complete donkey. A total embarrassment. At least one key Fox News personality isn’t playing along with Tucker Carlson’s claim Tuesday night that white supremacy is a “hoax” and “not a real problem in America.”
Daytime news anchor Shepard Smith made it clear Wednesday on his show that white nationalism is an “unmistakable” problem. Carlson hours later announced he was taking a vacation as calls to fire him trended on social media. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/shep-smith-tucker-carlson-racism_n_5d4b824ce4b01e44e474da89A contributor to Fox News ripped Tucker Carlson's claim that white supremacy is a "hoax" by suggesting that Carlson himself might be a white supremacist.https://www.newsweek.com/tucker-carlson-white-supremacist-fox-news-1453048

Shepard Smith's exit could turn channel into 'propaganda'
"The reality is that without Shep’s show, Fox News’ 24 hour news wheel is down to really the Bret Baier show. It's predominantly supportive of a president who is violating all kinds of American values, laws, rules, precedents, etc., etc., and the American people need to hear that so they can make good judgments. Otherwise, it’s just propaganda, and that’s the stuff of third-world nations, not the one that prides itself as a leader of all nations.”https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2019/10/14/shepard-smiths-exit-could-make-fox-news-propaganda-carl-cameron/3973352002/

Shep was just a 'token' gadfly they could point to and say "fair and balanced" - which they have never been, even with Shep.

Fox News Reportedly Turned Down Hunter Biden Laptop Story First. Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani apparently first approached Fox News with the trove of emails he claims came from Hunter Biden’s laptop, but the network passed on the story over credibility concerns, per a report by Mediaite. According to Mediaite’s sources, “the lack of authentication of Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop, combined with established concerns about Giuliani as a reliable source and his desire for unvetted publication, led the network’s news division to pass.” The network’s so-called Brain Room, for its part, has warned Fox News hosts that Giuliani has a reputation for “amplifying disinformation.”https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-reportedly-turned-down-hunter-biden-laptop-story-firstWhite House was warned Giuliani was target of Russian intelligence operation to feed misinformation to Trump.https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/giuliani-biden-ukraine-russian-disinformation/2020/10/15/43158900-0ef5-11eb-b1e8-16b59b92b36d_story.htmlSuspect provenance of Hunter Biden data cache prompts skepticism and social media bans.https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/14/suspect-provenance-of-hunter-biden-data-cache-prompts-skepticism-and-social-media-bans/

A former Republican National Committee spokesperson who was appointed as Trump's personal spokesperson in June, accused Fox News of censorship after Trump appeared on Bongino's Saturday night show, Unfiltered, to discuss and criticize Democratic policies under the administration of President Joe Biden.
Harrington claimed that the network edited out a quote from Trump calling the election "fake" and mentioning "voter abuse" and "voter fraud."https://www.newsweek.com/deleted-trump-spokesperson-says-fox-news-edited-interview-remove-election-fraud-claims-1617323

Russia’s early struggles to push disinformation and propaganda about Ukraine have picked up momentum in recent days, thanks to a variety of debunked conspiracy theories about biological research labs in Ukraine. Much of the false information is flourishing in Russian social media, far-right online spaces and U.S. conservative media, including Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News.
Most of the conspiracy theories claim that the U.S. was developing and plotting to release a bioweapon or potentially another coronavirus from “biolabs”’ throughout Ukraine and that Russia invaded to take over the labs. Many of the theories implicate people who are often the targets of far-right conspiracy thinking — including Dr. Anthony Fauci and President Joe Biden — as being behind creating the weaponized diseases in the biolabs.
By Wednesday, almost two weeks after the invasion, the conspiracy theory had reached Carlson, who led his show claiming that the “Biden administration was funding secret biolabs in Ukraine.”https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/qanon-ukraine-biolabs-russian-propaganda-efforts-boosted-us-far-right-rcna19392A reminder that "harmless" conspiracy theories... arent.
