“They’ll announce on Colbert, then they’ll do Kimmel, then they’ll do Fallon. The entire late night arena in network, and streaming, and cable it’s all just the advertising arm of the Democratic Party. It’s a big giant safe space for them. It’s really — it’s worse than propaganda. If you think about, like, Russia spent a few thousand dollars on …

Mediaite reports: On Monday, Fox News commentator Dan Bongino said that, should President Donald Trump ever be arrested, the experience could be emotionally traumatic for him. “This worries me, guys.

Talking Points Memo reports: “Fox and Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade told viewers on Thursday that “big picture” the use of an emergency declaration to get President Trump’s border wall funding would be a “disaster” and set a “terrible precedent” for the future. “It would just be a disaster in the big picture and just show us being inept at govern …

“You could shut down half of the government agencies and literally it would be years, if it were not for the media, it would be years before the regular person, the normal, average working American would even know that the department had been shut down — in terms of how much it effects their lives.

Colby Hall writes at Mediaite: Fox & Friends has been criticized as “state-run TV” due to its fawning and remarkably coordinated coverage of the Trump administration.

Host …

Mediaite reports: White House spokeswomen Mercedes Schlapp appeared for an interview on Fox & Friends Monday, where she was challenged by host Brian Kilmeade to name a single adviser that told President Donald Trump to withdraw troops from Syria. “Can you name an adviser the president has that recommended he pull out 2,000 troops?” Kilmeade asked. Schlapp dodged: “I’m not …

Mediaite reports: Co-host Brian Kilmeade did not hold back in criticizing the Commander in Chief’s stunning announcement via Twitter plans to withdrawal 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria, saying it was “stunning and irresponsible” and blindsided Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis.

Mediaite reports: Donald Trump seems to be watching Fox & Friends again, judging by his latest Twitter slam against Christopher Steele and his dossier on the president’s alleged connections with Russia.

Variety reports: Kid Rock was fired from his role as grand marshal of the Nashville Christmas Parade Friday night, following a morning appearance on “Fox & Friends” in which he called Joy Behar a “bitch.” But associates are insisting he still plans to lead the parade, booted or not.

The Hill reports: Former U.S. Border Patrol deputy chief Ron Colburn early Monday defended the use of pepper spray to deter migrants attempting to enter the U.S. at the Mexican border, saying it is “natural” and “you could actually put it on your nachos and eat it.” “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy asked Colburn, who is now president of …

Mediaite reports: Citing a report by conservative media watchdog Media Research Center, Ainsley Earhardt noted that NBC and ABC spent zero seconds covering the caravan, while CBS dedicated a mere 21 seconds to a story Fox News has provided voluminous coverage.

Mediaite reports: Some awful company is out with a LEGO knockoff called “MAGA” where you can build a wall to keep out toy Mexicans, clad in sombreros, and wielding maracas.

“It’s an outrage. The system worked. We had two candidates who fought neck to neck and they should be proud. Both candidates of the race and to have somebody, an interloper come in and suggest even a hint of racism, the state should reject that. If necessary, if she wants to go to court, then it will be a court. …

“One of the things that’s interesting in terms of if I was a patron, or anyone that was a patron in one of these types of establishments for that matter. There’s two focuses. There’s one that I’ve heard heard; run, hide, and dial 911. That’s one aspect. And there’s another aspect, whereas you confront the shooter directly. And we’ve seen …

“How frustrating would it be if you are the president of the United States and every single time you turn on the TV on most of the channels they are misconstruing what you say. You know your heart and you know your words and your voice and you watch what other people report on what you say and it’s completely …
