    Donald Trump’s insatiable demand for Fox propaganda (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    President Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News on Wednesday with a lengthy online harangue that made little sense but demonstrates the network’s impossible task in satisfying the president’s demand for pure propaganda. “Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me?” Trump posted to his Truth Social account at 12:15 pm ET. “I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republican

    Fox News is running its midterms migrant caravan playbook again (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    President Donald Trump’s extreme unpopularity has the Republican Party seemingly on course for a midterm elections drubbing — which means it’s once again time for Fox News to try to scare its viewers to the polls with frantic coverage of a “caravan” of migrants in Central America headed toward the U.S.-Mexico border. In October 2018, Fox hosts began warning viewers that a group of up to 4,000 Honduran migrants were moving through Central America with plans to “storm our border” — and urged Trump

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Justice Department sought last week to justify President Donald Trump’s decision to ban three news outlets from the White House by arguing that their reporters had jeopardized national security. But Trump’s own statements show what he actually wants from the press: servile propaganda that parrots what he and his political allies say about his administration. “‘The United States has the BEST Employment Numbers in HISTORY,’” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform in the 7 a.m. hour Monday m

    Read excerpt

    Fox News contributor Karl Rove sounded the alarm about a rising tide of racism and antisemitism within the Republican Party in his Tuesday column for The Wall Street Journal. But while CNN and MS NOW have both covered Rove’s warning, the network where he has worked since 2008 has not mentioned it. Rove, who masterminded George W. Bush’s campaigns for Texas governor and president and served in his White House before joining Fox, wrote on Tuesday that he planned to “vote for only the second Democr

    Fox News all but ignores report that a Russian oligarch bankrolled Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Fox News devoted a grand total of 1 minute of airtime Monday to the bombshell report that a Russian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the lavish Bahamas wedding of Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. The coverage came entirely in a single segment framed around the response to the story from Trump Jr.’s wife, Bettina. The “lavish, three-day party held across a pair of ultra-exclusive private islands” to celebrate Trump Jr.’s May wed
