Decoding Fox News

While Americans struggle with high gas and grocery prices and the war with Iran remains unsettled Miranda Devine and President Trump talked about Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Hunter Biden's laptop and Barack Obama. This aired today on June 3, 2026.

During a recent interview with the NY Post Trump said Iran would have had a nuclear weapon two weeks after 'the B-2 bombers struck." On the night of Operation Midnight Hammer, a year ago, he declared that Iran's nuclear capabilities were obliterated.

In an interview for the Pod Force One podcast (NY Post) President Donald J. Trump said 14 times that the 2020 election was rigged. Fox News paid out $787.5 million for knowingly lying about the 2020 election. The NY Post and Fox News are part of the same media empire.

The PBS News Hour has been reporting on the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo for weeks now. The first segment I saw about it on Fox was from last Tuesday. In this video I directly compare two segments about the Ebola outbreak from the same day on Fox and PBS.

Last week Jill Biden's decision to take her husband to a Waffle House after his debate with Trump was a MAJOR STORY on Fox News. As the war in Iran stretches on, gas prices remain high and Trump's approval rating plummets - A Waffle House visit in June 2024 was a major concern

Sean Hannity misled his viewers about NYC Mayor Mamdani's proposal to transfer ownership from landlords with chronic violations (slumlords) to tenants or nonprofits. Tomi Lahren said his program would lead to section 8 housing which was also incorrect.

Yesterday Axios published an article about a phone call between President Trump and Bibi Netanyahu. It was only mentioned on some Fox News programs. The network has been incredibly inconsistent about how it covers the conflict in Iran.

I took all of Jesse Watters' monologues about the war from last week and condensed them down to the most important parts - a series of cliches and predictions that did not come true. He will wake up tomorrow as if he never said any of this and repeat it until the war is over.

Every now and then I find myself agreeing with someone on Fox. In this case it's Lawrence Jones. I would agree with him that Spencer Pratt doesn't seem to have a ground game to get out the vote in Los Angeles.

Brian Kilmeade called Hezbollah the 'gold standard' of terrorist groups. On the shows I cover his network hasn't reported on multiple Israeli strikes in Lebanon in the past few weeks. His co-host Lawrence Jones said, "this isn't much of a ceasefire."

Fox News Pentagon UFO Files A new Spielberg movie about aliens Survey about aliens That's a news segment!

According to Ainsley Earhardt the U.S. could easily become like Lebanon plagued with terrorist occupied groups. She might want to do more research on Lebanon and Hezbollah.

The folks at Fox News don't seem to know any conservatives in California. Jesse Watters' producers thought actors Scott Baio and Dean Cain were the perfect guests to talk about Spencer Pratt's campaign for Los Angeles mayor even though both men moved out of CA years ago.

Dan Bongino claimed leaks to the press were nonsense. Last December he basically admitted that was paid to spew nonsense. He should also know that an 18-year-old would not have a j-school degree. Does he think people get college degrees in high school?

Spencer Pratt doesn't seem to have much of a ground game to get out the vote. Also save this tweet in case he claims the election was rigged, "we can always out vote cheating."

Spencer Pratt proudly said he would move out of Los Angeles if he doesn't win the mayoral race. He said he's a registered Republican. Fox said he wasn't but that he voted for Trump. Trump endorsed him. The ratio of Dems to Republicans is 4 to 1 in Los Angeles. 🤷‍♀️

Dan Bongino claimed that Iran started a war against the U.S. then listed a series of terrorist attacks and planned attacks. He left out the CIA's involvement with the removal of Iran's freely elected prime minister in 1953.

Jessica Tarlov said that Trump was 'sundowning' Greg Gutfeld scolded her and said that it as a symptom of alzheimer's. I've provided several examples of Trump's current 'cognitive state' it does seem he's in a state of decline.

When Fox News doesn't know how to spin things for Trump the network attacks Democrats. Actual radical communists & socialists would be surprised to hear that the Democratic Party has become Marxist. Sean Hannity especially loves promoting the myth of the New Red Scare.

Even though Trump was happy to unseat Sen. Cornyn the folks at Fox predicted Ken Paxton's campaign for U.S. Senate will cost the GOP hundreds of millions of dollars. Cornyn was a skilled fundraiser. Paxton is plagued by multiple scandals.

Last week Fox News was excited to announce that several artists were going to perform as part of the Great American State Fair. Within days all but one had canceled saying they were misled about the nature of the event. The folks at MS NOW discussed it at length.

The folks at Fox continue to insist that anti-ICE protesters are paid. Hard hats and scarves are not proof of anything. The network has yet to provide actual evidence that any protesters are paid.

Brian Kilmeade claimed anti-ICE protesters wanted "chaos and unrest" to make the Trump administration look bad. Who wants to tell him that the Trump Admin. is nonstop chaos and unrest.

The overpaid stuffed shirts on Fox News don't want anyone to rush President Trump over his negotiations with Iran as increased fuel and fertilizer costs will likely cause more spikes in inflation in the coming months.

A Trump quote without his voice or face - it's Trump without Trump. This quote is unedited and 100% accurate. This is from the Forum for Palm Beaches Dinner on May 1, 2026 - Robert E. Lee

Dan Bongino implied that he would know military secrets about Iran. He left the FBI at the start of this year. Trump attacked Iran at the end of February. The FBI is a domestic law enforcement agency. How would Bongino be privy to information about Iran?

As expected Fox News has spent a lot of time on UFO files that were recently released by the Pentagon. The images and documents still leave many questions unanswered. It seems like a distraction from files most Americans would like to know more about regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

When Fox News doesn't know how to spin bad news for the Trump administration it attacks Democrats. The Five is the top rated news show on cable. These are the intros to each segment last Wednesday... Democrats are terrible Dad bods are out

Trump just confused Iran for Venezuela. Venezuela still has a navy, an Air Force and intact leadership. The U.S. only removed Maduro. Trump was describing Iran but he called it Venezuela.

Someone at Fox News thought it would be hilarious to send Jesse Watters' sidekick Johnny to a beach to ask young people about Memorial Day, Pearl Harbor and 9/11. This aired the day after Memorial Day. What an incredibly disrespectful segment.

On Monday Jesse Watters Primetime featured clips older episodes. One included a man from a No Kings rally I'm calling 'Inflatable Pink Hippo New Yorker' He had some choice words to say about President Trump. Don't stop a giant pink hippo on the streets of NYC!

Over the course of two week Greg Gutfeld managed to make light of sky high fertilizer and gasoline prices caused by the war in Iran. Last week his mocking comment about gas prices was during discussion about fraud. I'm sure farmers in this country found it hilarious.

Jessica Tarlov fact checked Jesse Watters in the same segment after he implied that Trump would be giving Iran its own money back unlike Obama. Tarlov explains that Obama was also giving Iran its own money as part of the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal).

Dana Perino doesn't seem that excited about Trump's handling of the war in Iran. The U.S. took out MOST of the leaders and MOST of the missile program. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. We won't go back to use weapons but we might. It might be a success but she's not sure.

Lawrence Jones noticed that an anti-ICE protesters was wearing a scarf that indicated he would also support the free Palestine movement. This was enough for Jones to declare that the entire group was funded by a foreign government. Who needs actual proof?

The way Lawrence Jones talks about the Iranian regime he could just as easily be talking about the United States. Who is the bad faith actor? Trump hasn't been honest with the American public. We have openly double crossed Iran more than once.

I just wanted to share this moving tribute from @pbsnews.org for Memorial Day.

Lawrence Jones said he spoke with Trump about a possible deal with Iran. Later in the same program producers included large print outs of editorials from the NY Post and WSJ, two publications owned by the same company as Fox, warning Trump to not screw up the deal.

On Fox & Friends during a discussion about military recruitment guest host Lisa Boothe said that Trump was judicious about the wars the U.S. will engage in. Five days ago during a press gaggle he seemed flippant about the 13 troops who have died during the ongoing war with Iran.

I found some archived footage of a fresh faced Karoline Leavitt on OAN when she was running for congress in 2021. She claimed the election might rigged against Trump in New Hampshire in 2020. That would be a lot of effort for four electoral votes.

Natalie Harp, a close aid to Donald J. Trump, helps the president with his late night social media posts. She once told Trump in a letter, "You are all that matters to me." I've included some archived clips of Harp when she was an anchor for OAN from 2021.

Charlie Hurt seems to think that a majority of Americans love Trump. I hate to break it to him but his own employer, Fox News, just came out with a poll that showed Trump's approval rating was under 40%. No one mentioned the latest Fox News Poll on the shows I covered last week.

The folks on Fox & Friends tried to mock Stephen Colbert for the guests on his last show. For some reason a producer picked a clip of Robert De Niro saying Trump was blocking the release 2.5 million pages of documents related to the child sex offender - Jeffrey Epstein.

Lawrence Jones said CBS 'selectively edited' an answer during an election which is why they paid Trump a $16 million settlement. I've included a question and answer that was cut from Trump's last interview with CBS '60 Minutes' the network cut out a LOT of his ramblings.

Debunk #2 - If you think this is a latex mask sit down with a makeup artist and talk to them about it. I've applied latex prosthetics when I worked as a face/body painter, which is a job I had for about 20 years. It's far more likely that this was a filter or green screen glitch.

Someone altered a video from Fox News featuring Retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward. He is a frequent guest on Fox News. He is NOT wearing a mask. Fox promotes nonsense often but Harward is a real person and that's what his face looks like.

Kellyanne Conway got extremely upset that Americans might be getting false information online. Nine years ago she championed the concept of 'alternative facts' while defending false statements made by Sean Spicer, then Trump's White House press secretary.

On the PBS News Hour, Nicholas Burns, former ambassador to China during the Biden admin, said Trump's behavior towards Xi Jinping made the U.S. look weak.

On Fox & Friends last week AOC was not just a crazed radical she was the COMMUNIST leader of a full on civil war in the Democratic Party! I'm sure Ken Burns will produce a series on it one day. Who will be the next Mary Chestnut?

Kellyanne Conway actually seems to think that Joe Rogan carefully vets his guests and is extremely careful about the accuracy of his content. No really, she said that. That's the clip.

Every now and then someone on Fox News almost gets it. In the first two clips Fox News personalities concede Russia is benefitting from the war in Iran. The third clip is from PBS. Robert Kagan, a Neoconservative scholar, said Russia and China are benefitting from the Iran War

When Fox News doesn't know how to spin bad news for Trump they fall back on one of their favorite topics - the demonization of Democrats. Last week it was AOC with a few others. In this montage AOC is both useless and all powerful.

Fox News and the war with Iran. These clips are all from the same day last week. Fox & Friends - Things look bad, maybe Israel should help more. The Five - We crushed them, we aren't doing this for Israel Jesse Watters Primetime (sub host) - Make Venezuela the 51st state.

The folks on Fox & Friends mocked Xavier Bererra, a Democratic candidate for CA governor, over a terse exchange with he had with a journalist. Donald J. Trump berates journalists often.

Last week when Trump was in China Fox News didn't know how to spin his many capitulations to Xi Jinping so they kept talking about what every American cares about - body language and hand shaking.

Jesse Watters seemed to think foreign weapon sales would pay for the war in Iran. This is incorrect. The U.S. acts as a broker between U.S. defense contractors and foreign countries. The U.S. government only makes a small fee and taxes on foreign weapons sales. No kidding.

Jesse Watters - A story in three clips. I could never kiss a guy I drank from a straw twice last week. The gays might be in the closet.

Ainsley Earhardt "We Republicans support Israel." Brian Kilmeade reduces antisemitism on the right to "a few podcasters."

Trump doubled down that he didn't think about Americans financial situation. Trump thought it would be much worse. Americans are just paying a LITTLE bit more. He got the price of eggs down! If Americans can figure out how to fuel their cars with eggs things will be great.

Last week on Fox News Brian Kilmeade and Jessica Tarlov mentioned a CIA report that Iran still has over 70% of its missile launchers and the ability to withstand months of this blockade. PBS also reported on it. The only non-believer was Jesse Watters.

During the campaign trail Donald J. Trump repeatedly promised that he would cut residential energy rates in half within the first year of his administration. He failed miserably. I provide receipts - plus I just published all of his affordability failures on my Substack.

Yesterday a few folks pointed out that Trump has changed major details about his reflecting pool project since he announced it in late April. I've created a video with graphics that point out how much he's lied about it. This includes edits of longer rambling statements.

This clip is NOT from 2008 it's from 2026 but you'd never know it. Hannity was ranting about Barack Obama after the former president opened his library in Chicago. If he could have worked in Hillary's emails he would have! Bleach Bit and private servers!

This is becoming a bit of a mantra on Fox News - variations of short term pain for long term gain.

Trump turned to workers who are painting the reflecting pool and asked them if they thought Iran should have a nuclear weapon. Kayleigh McEnany used the clip to trash Kamala Harris. No really, that's the clip.

Greg Gutfeld "I want to talk about Trump and kids!" Okay then.

Greg Gutfled declared it had been about 40 years since the last abortion clinic bombing. It's been a month since the last arson attack. In 2015 three people were murdered in an attack against an abortion clinic. Dr. George Tiller, abortion provider, was murdered in 2009

The former professional wrestler known as Tyrus said the U.S. should charge foreign ships tolls for allowing them to pass out of the Strait of Hormuz. Several folks on Fox News pointed out later in the week that charging a toll in international waters is illegal.

Brian Kilmeade mentioned the fact that Russia is helping Iran. Russia has also benefited from the Iran war as the U.S. has temporarily lifted some sanctions on its oil sales and more focus has been pulled from Ukraine. Why is Trump so chummy with Vladimir Putin? 🤷‍♀️

Last week Jesse Watters confidently got a couple of things wrong about the proposed peace agreement with Iran. I used a clip from PBS about the same topic to fact check him.

As the folks on Fox News celebrated the fact that two U.S. flagged ships made it through the Strait of Hormuz, Dr. Ian Ralby of Auxillum Worldwide pointed out on PBS that Project Freedom was meant to let neutral ships pass through the strait, not U.S. ships.

Sean Hannity, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Newt Gingrich and Mark Levin all think the CIA should give Iranians weapons. When the U.S. did this in past decades it flooded the black market with weapons, caused instability in the region and helped terrorist groups rise in power.

Last week the folks on Fox News couldn't keep their story straight about Iran running out of storage for crude oil. Did Iran have a day left? Was it weeks? Would running out of storage space for oil lead to a revolution?

Last week Iran hit a key UAE port that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz. Jesse Watters repeatedly made light of it. His co-hosts took it far more seriously. The PBS News Hour included much needed context.

Last week Jesse Watters just invented Trump's intentions towards the Iranian regime. Trump wanted Iran to 'save face.' 🤔 Clifford May thought a name change from Epic Fury to Project Freedom is all it takes to extend the conflict and make Iran the aggressor. 🤔

Last week the folks on Fox News kept saying the war in Iran could end at any moment. They also said combat operations could resume at any time. Are we close to a deal? Will the war escalate? 🤷‍♀️

Fox News often ignores stories it doesn't know how to spin. Last week only ONE show I covered included a short segment about new Israeli attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon during a ceasefire. PBS included it but The Five, Jesse Watters Primetime and Hannity didn't mention it.

Earlier this week an independent voter on The Faulkner Focus, Mary Josephine, said she was frustrated with Trump and the high cost of living. This might have been a case of a 'Fox guest going rogue' as Mary Josephine has appeared in segments on Fox News for the past five years.

The theme on Fox News since the war started is some variation on 'short term pain for long term gain.' We are supposed to trust Trump to deliver. Someone should tell Jesse Watters that Trump going to Mar-a-Lago for a weekend during a war is not something to brag about.

I honestly wonder if Jesse Watters can speak without using cliches and soundbites. No more Mr. Nice guy! Chocking like stuffed pigs! Itchy trigger fingers! Give peace a chance! Mucho dinero! Keeping cards close to his vest! Kamikaze dolphins! Relief is right around the corner!

The Fox News response to the SCOTUS ruling that weakened the Voting Rights Act last week was to declare that racism doesn't exist. Everyone will live in perfect racial harmony and discrimination won't exist if overpaid white on-camera hosts shout about it.

Jesse Watters declared that the U.S. is not racist because a 'Black man was elected president and no one tried to shoot him.' Obama faced several attempts on his life. In the most high profile case, Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, shot at and hit the second floor of the White House.

Fox News hosts called out other media companies for promoting hateful propaganda. The network sows division, racism, bigotry while promoting fear and paranoia. Fox News has demonized transgender folks and promoted false stories. The network promotes hate for profit.

Fox News knowingly promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election to keep its ratings/profits up. These lies directly led to an attack on the U.S. Capitol. Now the network clutches its pearls when folks on both the right and left promote another conspiracy about Trump.

Greg Gutfeld was adamant that right-wing domestic terrorism and violence didn't exist. He said January 6th was the only example. I've created a list of recent attacks, two are still awaiting trial (alleged), the rest were definitively motivated by right-wing ideologies.

Jesse Watters asked out loud where people might get the idea that Trump was a dangerous man in mental decline. I provided a few examples. I'm just scratching the surface as I have a time constraints on social media.

Twice last week Jesse Watters implied that the attack Sen. Rand Paul suffered years ago at the hands of his neighbor was politically motivated. The two men had a dispute over yard waste not politics. The man who attacked Paul paid restitution and served a short prison sentence.

Jesse Watters said he would buy his mother Fox themed pajamas for Mother's Day as a joke. Perhaps he might give her something she actually wants. He has a long history of treating Fox News cameras like therapists. The man has some mommy issues.

On Saturday a journalist asked Trump, "Last night you said we might be better off not making a deal with Iran." Trump denied saying it Daniel Dale at CNN fact checked it proving Trump had made the remark. I put the two video clips together. Dale and the journalist were correct.

Jesse Watters promoted President Donald J. Trump's false claim that '86' was a mob term for murder. Watters used the term in July 2025 to describe people getting canceled by the mainstream media. I provide receipts along with the dictionary definition of the term - 86

I found an old clip of a Tiffany Hall a Trump supporter at a campaign rally on July 31, 2024. She complained about the high costs of gasoline, groceries, utilities and out of pocket medical expenses. Prices for everything have increased since she spoke - I provide receipts.

A Trump quote without his voice or face. Trump without Trump. This quote is un-edited and 100% accurate. It's from the press conference immediately following the shooting at the White House correspondents dinner on April 25, 2026 - Hi David!

Sometimes guests on Fox News go a bit rogue. Last week, Dennis Ross, former U.S. Envoy to the Middle East pointed out some of the shortcomings of Trump's approach to the war in Iran.

The Iran War started on the night of Feb. 27. The folks at Fox News have claimed the war was over for weeks now. They also don't seem to know how long the war has gone on. On Fox & Friends the network admitted it could take six months to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz.

As predicted Trump's planned White House ballroom was a huge story across all shows on Fox News on Monday. This montage is based on Fox & Friends, The Five and Jesse Watters Primetime. Fox is Trump State Television.

A Trump quote without his voice or face - It's Trump without Trump This quote is unedited and 100% accurate its from the Healthcare Affordability Event on April 23, 2026 - My Crowd Was Bigger

This clip is from the un-aired portion of Trump's interview with CBS 60 Minutes. After Norah O'Donnell pointed out that nearly the entire cabinet was at the WHCD Trump went into a sales pitch for his ballroom project.

This clip is from the un-aired portion of Trump's interview with CBS 60 Minutes. He claimed Democrats wanted to hug him after the shooting. Then Norah O'Donnell asked Trump about conspiracy theories surrounding the shooting. He couldn't imagine where they came from.
