CBS News reports: Fox News host Laura Ingraham returned from a one-week vacation last night to “The Ingraham Angle,” a show that now has fewer advertisers as companies pulled their sponsorships over her tweet last month that mocked a Parkland, Florida, school-shooting survivor.

Instead, …

“President Trump, I’m speaking to you directly. Do not take the same mistake that President Obama had made. The action that you had taken to take out the air base, that was important, that was strong — that was a very strong message. What we need to do right now is to take out Assad’s air force. If we ground …

The Guardian reports: Fox News has inadvertently posted a graphic showing it trails other cable news networks in trustworthiness.

The Washington Post reports: The president usually begins his morning with the “Fox & Friends” show on Fox News, often sending tweets that correspond with the show’s headlines and programming.

The Wrap reports: “Fox News is always trying to impeach me, so somebody needs to tell them, that doesn’t apply to a private citizen,” the former Democratic presidential candidate told a group of women in New York City Tuesday. “When you’ve been accused of everything like I have, and you realize some people believe it, it’s really depressing.” In a …

“This country is headed towards a civil war in terms of two sides that are just hating each other and if Robert Mueller wants, there’s a big red button in the middle of the table.

The Concourse reports: Earlier this month, CNN’s Brian Stelter broke the news that Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner or operator of nearly 200 television stations in the U.S., would be forcing its news anchors to record a promo about “the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country.” The script, which parrots Donald Trump’s oft-declarations of developments negative …

So this happened this morning on Fox & Friends: Staunch pro-Trump vloggers Diamond & Silk made an appearance on Fox & Friends to talk about, in part, how awful and evil Hillary Clinton is.

The Huffington Post reports: Twitter lit up over model Fabio Lanzoni’s appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Thursday.

Sean Hannity is extremely triggered by Anderson Cooper: At the top of his program Monday night, Fox News’ Sean Hannity absolutely tore into CNN’s Anderson Cooper for his two blockbuster interviews with former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal and adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Fox News reports: Voters prioritize protecting citizens from gun violence over protecting the rights of gun owners.

“I feel for these kids from Parkland high school. They’ve obviously been affected. They have a right to speak out and they should. But forgive me if I don’t want a lesson on the Second Amendment on a 16-year-old. Forgive me if I don’t want to watch a 9-year-old tell me that her dream is a world without guns. My …

“I personally wish the President vetoed this bill, made them stay in Washington. Make them keep their promises. What happened to the Republican party––whatever happened to the party that believed in fiscal responsibility? We now need a revitalized second party, Republican party. They need to go back to their core principles. If they don’t by November, they will have nobody …

The Washington Post reports: President Trump said he might veto the sweeping $1.3 trillion spending bill passed early Friday — a move that would likely lead to a government shutdown — because it does nothing to address the fate of young undocumented immigrants and does not fully fund his border wall.
