Another story Fox News ignored - Trump nominated Paul Ingrassia, a lawyer who has espoused white supremacist beliefs, to the Office of Special Counsel the PBS News Hour interviewed @jeffsharlet.bsky.social, an expert in extremism, to talk about Trump's pick.

The folks at Fox didn't seem to think the crimes Julie and Todd Chrisley committed were that big a of deal. Trump's pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson said that one of the reasons she recommended a pardon for the Chrisley was they would use their platform to uplift Trump's agenda.

As Fox News praised Elon Musk the @pbsnews.org broke down exactly what DOGE did and didn't accomplish. The Trump admin. also continues to spread disinformation about the DOGE program.

Last week on Fox News the network continued to praise him as some sort of genius while also portraying him as a victim of the vicious left. I wonder how long this will continue if Musk continues to criticize Trump's budget. 🤔

Last week Jesse Watters casually admitted to a major property crime. He was probably a teenager when he destroyed a person's boat because someone dared him. He slashes tires to get dates so this tracks.

Harold Ford Jr. proposed using AI to predict what a potential terrorist might do along with a database of every undocumented immigrant that was filled with their social media posts and behavior. Imagine being arrested for something a computer thought you might do.

The folks at The Five called David Brooks of the New York Times "the left." He's at best a moderate or an old school conservative. Greg Gutfeld then went on a rant about him that included a Bible verse I edited out for time. They'd probably call Jesus a communist.

Trump will apparently give anyone a pardon including Sean P. Diddy Combs. 50 Cent, another wealthy Black rapper, wants to tell Trump that Combs talked trash about him...so who knows? Maybe if Combs buys enough of Trump's crypto he'll end up like those reality TV tax cheats.

John Herbst, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine under GW Bush talked with Brian Kilmeade about what Operation Spiderweb will do for peace talks. I'm not sure what risk Trump took by giving Putin time to stall. It looks more like Trump got played by the Russian president.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine Fox News has promoted cutting off U.S. funding. Things seem to have shifted once Putin repeatedly bailed on peace talks. Brian Kilmeade interviewed John Herbst former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine under GW Bush about Operation Spiderweb.

During a Breakfast with Friends segment Steve Doocy asked a patron of a golf sports bar what he would want the FBI to investigate. The man said he'd love it if they fully investigated Jeffrey Epstein. Steve Doocy quickly moved on to the next guest.

Last week both Kash Patel and Dan Bongino said they were diverting resources in the FBI from violent crimes to investigate copycat 8647 posts like the one former FBI director Jim Comey posted on Instagram. I found a LOT of 8647, 8646 and 8645 merch on Amazon. 🤷‍♀️

The folks on Fox told foreign students to mind their social media posts. When will they tell U.S. citizens to "mind your posts." I thought Trump didn't want to be a dictator.

Laura Ingraham and the rest of the folks on Fox News boasted about Trump's economy. PBS included that the GDP for the first quarter was adjusted down 0.2% at an annual pace due to Trump's tariffs. It's the first time it dropped in three years.

As the folks on "The Five" joked about child abuse Jesse Watters decided to make a BDSM tinged reference to his co-host Greg Gutfeld. I mean...🤦‍♀️

COLORADO: Horrific scene in BOULDER as an event raising awareness for Israeli hostages was just attacked. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/u...

From @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social thank you for not making me listen to their voices. Spoiler: he lied 🤣 youtu.be/1x-Obxaygo0

I've been obsessed with how the right thinks since my early days of listening to RW AM talk radio as a delivery van driver for a few years in the mid 1990's. These days I find the most interesting portrayals and perspectives on the RW infosphere in these podcasts. 🧵 @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social

Trump without Trump - An edit of Trump's press conference with Elon Musk. You won't have to listen to his voice or see his face. It's a highlight reel of sorts.

I might have another annotated version of the press conference. We'll see how it goes.

Brian Kilmeade attempts to look knowledgable about cuts and changes made by DOGE. He repeatedly refers to the computer language COBOL as Cobalt, a chemical element. Maybe get the word right before you blather on about it.

That’s Odin and Thor the podcast mascots for Decoding Fox News. They are not littermates but they were born in the same feral colony in the basement of a NYCHA building in downtown Brooklyn. @CatCafeBK rescued them. They are a bonded pair.

Vivek Ramaswamy thinks he has the solution for the national debt - everyone should just become a billionaire like him and they won't need Medicare or Social Security. He wants to try out a pilot program in Ohio if he's elected governor.

During a segment about the persecution of Christians Laura Ingraham misrepresented a statement made by Rev. Jennifer Butler of Faith in Public Life. Butler, a Christian minister, spoke about an op-ed she wrote about the dangers of Christian Nationalism on Morning Joe on MSNBC.

Lawrence Jones mentioned Donald J. Trump's speech on Memorial Day. He left out his social media post that talked about scum, rapists, murders and an evil ideology. I offer up my dramatic interpretation of his inspirational words that didn't honor our fallen troops.

Last week on Fox folks tried to make a big deal out of Biden's use of an autopen. Back in March Alan Dershowitz and Gregg Jarrett, both lawyers, explained that the use of an autopen is perfectly legal. Presidential pardons don't even need a signature according to Dershowitz.

A few quotes form Trump's commencement speech at West Point - without Trump's face or voice. It's Trump without Trump. He talked about a lot of things like trophy wives, drag queens, and golfers. He also claimed there were no wars or any problems during his first term.

Sean Hannity on truth and the media. Fox News paid $787.5 million in a defamation settlement. Hannity admitted under oath he promoted stories about the 2020 election that weren't true. He thanked his viewers for voting for Trump He appeared at a Trump rally.

Sometimes the truth accidentally gets out on Fox News. The network likes to promote the idea that recruitment in our armed forces picked up after Trump was elected. A Navy Admiral proudly declared that it started to increase in Jan. 2024 during the Biden administration.
