Fake News

“So it’s so funny that people, they saw that, her tweet, they saw her stove. They rightly heckled and mocked her and made fun of her and ridiculed her, and then all of the Democrats got freaked out and jumped online and said, ‘Oh no, wait a minute, they don’t want to take away the gas stoves. That’s misinformation.’ “No, …

As I reported earlier this week, the Family Research Council has called for boycotting Target because the chain is selling a Pride-themed nutcracker. So of course, Fox News has picked up the story: Target isn’t waiting until Pride Month in June to unveil new LGBTQ merchandise and has an assortment of Christmas-themed products available for the holiday season. Target’s website …

The Daily Beast reports: A day after getting roasted online for claiming Thanksgiving turkeys now cost $90 because of “Bidenomics,” Fox News pundit Jason Chaffetz doubled down on Tuesday by posting a picture of the bird he bought—complete with a $114 price tag. Needless to say, revealing to the world that he spent $5 per pound on an organic turkey, …

“All of these characters sound like people who are prepared to cheat, or at least justify cheating next year. After all, if Trump really is what they say he is — the man who will end democracy, a Hitlerian figure — then how could he possibly be allowed to be able to run for office, be approaching the White House? …

This just gets funnier and even more stupid: Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz got roasted on X for claiming he spent $90 on a Thanksgiving turkey all thanks to Bidenomics. “I mean, we went to go buy a turkey today. It was $90 for a turkey!” Chaffetz exclaimed. “It’s all a choice by Joe Biden. That is what Bidenomics is.” …

National Zero reports: Although Jason Chaffetz is whining–as Republicans are wont to do when they have no policies on which they can run–about seeing a turkey for $90 at a local supermarket, the cost of turkey dinner is actually down this year, to $61.17 for an entire Thanksgiving meal for ten people. So Chaffetz is shopping for some high-end, organic, …

“I was wrong when I expressly said that Pakistan had expelled Palestinians. The government there is, in fact, kicking out 1.7 million people and what they’re calling a ‘tiered repatriation.’ Pakistan says those people are there illegally — they’re illegal immigrants. Now, here’s who they are: mostly Afghans who have tried to flee the Taliban. Some Uyghurs, ethnic Muslims who …

Philip Bump writes for the Washington Post: Jesse Watters layered on a bunch of other insider culture-war references, like the guy doing the stand-up routine at a major corporation’s holiday party. Then the dastardly demonstrations of anti-Christmas hate: a business owner who decided Christmas Eve shouldn’t be a holiday and a public official who asked that holiday decorations be non-religious. …

“Secret Service agents don’t fire guns to protect property. They have strict shot accountability. And Naomi Biden wouldn’t have been in the car because an agent would have been in there with her. And the carjackers wouldn’t have smashed a window of a vehicle to steal it with two people in it. “Secret Service protocol requires the agents only discharge …

The Daily Beast reports: Jason Donner, a former reporter for Fox News, is suing the right-wing network for retaliation and discrimination, alleging the conservative cable giant fired him because he opposed Fox’s “false coverage of the January 6th insurrection.” Donner, who started at the network in 2010 and worked his way up to Capitol Hill reporter and producer, was terminated …

“What you have here is so clearly, visibly a bunch of people who are crooks. I mean, this isn’t a complicated case. Joe Biden and his family are collectively the Sopranos of New Jersey — I mean, of Delaware. They’re clearly crooks, and you have to start with that. The minute you say to yourself, ‘could this be an episode …

“Well, now thanks to Joe Biden, you’re going to have a car that tracks your every move, but it’s not here to help. Democrats want every car in America armed with a kill switch that’ll turn your car off if it doesn’t like how you drive. Lobbyists slipped language into the Infrastructure Bill that says all new cars sold in …

Fox News reports: Dozens of local residents in northern Washington recently voiced their strong opposition to a Biden administration plan to release grizzly bears, an apex predator, in a federally-managed forest area near their communities.

Media Matters reports: Fox News host Mark Levin launched a false and vicious attack Wednesday night against CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer over Blitzer’s coverage of the deaths of Palestinian civilians in the Israel-Hamas war, falsely claiming that Blitzer’s parents “weren’t victims” of the Holocaust, and that “you wouldn’t know” he was from a Jewish background due to his coverage of …

“We had a former CIA guy come on ‘Primetime’ the other day, and he said the CIA makes money on the side with drug trafficking. It’s like a side hustle because their funding isn’t big enough, so they do some, you know, black ops in order to boost their budget and hide it from congressional oversight. And then use it …

“Hamas was designated as a terrorist organization in 1997, and systematically since then, Democrats more and more have been the ones who said they’re pro-Hamas. But you know what Democrats are choosing? They’re the ones that preach the tolerance. But if it’s killing a Jew, they’re just fine with it. I just cannot believe we’re at this point in our …

CNN Business reports: New York judge on Monday shut down an attempt by Fox News to subpoena George Soros, the Jewish billionaire and frequent target of far-right conspiracy theories, and search for additional links between him and Smartmatic, a voting technology company at the center of false election claims during the 2020 election. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice David B. Cohen …

Yahoo News reports: Fox News host Laura Ingraham was forced to deliver an on-air correction in the middle of her show after a crack about President Joe Biden instead exposed her own ignorance. Ingraham and regular guest Raymond Arroyo were mocking the president’s speech on AI. “Good lord,” Arroyo said as Ingraham rolled her eyes and sternly shook her head. …

Mediaite reports: Fox News’ Jesse Watters used the release of a 9-1-1 recording to raise questions about the death of Tafari Campbell, who drowned on Martha’s Vineyard in July while serving as the personal chef to the Obama family.
