FRIDAY, JULY 17, 2026
Fox & Friends disappears it: We still haven't watched the full speech. Last night was one of the rare occasions when the president's viewers were falling asleep before he did!
That said:
It isn't always what a cable news channel might say—it's what the channel leaves unsaid! Over at Mediaite, Tom Durante advances a striking claim about the Fox News Channel:
Fox & Friends Completely Ignores Trump’s Election Speech—Doesn’t Mention It Once in 3-Hour Show
As other networks picked apart President Donald Trump’s prime-time address to the nation early Friday morning, Fox News went in a completely different direction.
Fox & Friends produced not one mention of the president’s address from the night before, during which the commander in chief once again attempted to cast doubt on the integrity of American elections—pointing a finger at Venezuela and China.
Instead, the regular lineup of co-hosts Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt, and Lawrence Jones discussed the latest campaign of U.S. airstrikes against Iran, the air quality crisis choking much of America, disastrous flooding in Texas, the World Cup, and a “phenomenal” speech—by Marco Rubio.
Near the end of the three-hour show, the F&F crew turned it over to America’s Newsroom host Dana Perino for a preview of the 9 a.m. show. In it, she also did not mention the speech.
And so on from there.
Assuming the accuracy of Durante's claim, that's a very sharp bit of reporting. Despite the massive emphasis the president placed on this event, it seems to have been disappeared by the Fox News Channel!
Any news org can be defined by the events and topics it chooses to ignore. But this is quite a report from Durante:
What will they say on The Five?
Award-winning national update: Did Perino and company mention the speech on America's Newsroom? In a sense, but not as such!
As you can see by clicking here, Chad Pergram offered a two-minute report on Trump's desire to pass the so-called SAVE America Act. No other part of the speech was mentioned.
Though a bit of videotape was played, Pergram never mentioned the fact that a ballyhooed national address had actually been delivered.
Somerby is shocked, shocked I tell you, that Fox is protecting Trump from his own actions! When has Fox ever done that?
ReplyDeleteWhen right wingers commit crimes, Somerby urges for pity over accountability.
DeleteSomerby is a sick fuck.
I’m a healthy fuck.
DeleteAnonymouse 3:45pm, Bob holds to a noblesse oblige mentality as to collective opponents. He’s often high-handed and contemptuous as to individual political contrarians.
DeleteBob holds to a … blah blah blah. Spare us the bullshit Cecelia.
DeleteAnonymouse 11:11pm, I graciously make it easy enough for you by having a nym. It’s up to you to move on or not.
DeleteEverything's going to be fine.
DeleteLeroy
All hail Cecelia, queen of the nym.
DeleteThis is proof that Somerby is truly a moron.
ReplyDeleteThat is the consensus.
DeleteI say he’s an imbecile.
DeleteTrump is the least popular president in history.
ReplyDeleteDuh.
Trump's polling average is darn near 30 while increasingly getting polls down in the 20s.
Oof.
As a Republican, I think our only hope to save the party is to pass something like universal single payer healthcare.
DeleteAs an independent I say we surrender to Iran.
DeleteMaine Democrat Senate candidate Ashley Webb, who said he would not "lie" or "deceive" people, claims in Reddit posts that he "ovulates" and has a monthly period, but because he has "external male parts" instead of "the proper hole," the period blood comes out of his anus.
ReplyDeleteDespite being karyotyped as XY, he says he's "pretty positive I am the XX type." He also believes he has female "internal organs," although CAT scans have turned up nothing.
Colonoscopies have also failed to validate a connection with a supposed hidden uterus.
Will no one discuss Trump's disordered mind?
This isn’t funny. It is hate speech.
Delete5:14 is just reminding us of the sociopathy of magats.
DeleteAh, ok then.
DeleteAnonymices, are you calling Ashley a liar or was someone impersonating him on Reddit?
DeleteAnd still more sane than Trump.
DeleteAnonymouse 7:02pm, is that you, Bob?
DeleteFuck off trannytroll.
DeleteSo Noem is getting divorced because her husband's fake boobs are bigger than hers!
DeleteHey, Bob, no media aggressively fact-checked this one. They didn’t make a peep.

The wingnuts are so desperate for a win that some obscure candidate who doesn't stand a chance in the primary is cause for celebration. Meanwhile, they elect and support lunatics who are tearing the country apart. Must be the low T.
DeleteDemocrats are low in the sense of humor dept.
DeleteThe Just Joking Defense in action.
Delete"no media aggressively fact-checked this one. They didn’t make a peep."
DeleteMost likely because:
a) Pelosi didn't misrepresent any intelligence data, as Trump did in his speech, and;
b) Pelosi doesn't have an extended history of flat out lying about elections, as Trump does.
Glad I could clear that up.
Hector, and it’s the media and Pelosi is a Democrat.
DeletePelosi was referring to the possibility that the clown who tried to overturn an election after failing to enlist a Georgia election supervisor to find votes for him and employing a scheme with fake electors unsuccessfully could try to tamper with voting machines. What is your problem with that?
DeleteAnonymouse 10:16pm, yeah, that bullshite is the same thing as Trump trying to rig the mechanics of the entire computerized voting system. Good thinking, Sherlock.
DeleteLike clockwork, Cecelia crawls out from under its rock when the subject turns to transgender.
DeleteAnonymouse 11:04pm, youre favorite subject.
DeleteYou’re the one who showed up here after an absence of days to comment on transgender issues. You’re obsessed with it, you piece of fecal matter.
DeleteYour president, like you, is pathologically obsessed with transgender people, spending inordinate amounts of time demonizing them, all while stealing money from the us government and leveraging his office to rake in billions. So shut your fucking mouth Cecelia.
DeleteAnonymouse 11:28pm, I have a nym, but you can’t resist reading my posts. Who’s obsessed?
DeleteShut up. Asshole.
DeleteAnonymouse 11:37pm, your problem lies with whoever is forcing you to read my posts
DeleteI read everyone’s posts, you piece of shit. But you need to think you’re special. You’re a turd.
DeleteAnonymouse 11:41pm,, if your goal is to expose yourself to every post, stop telling me to shut up, Einstein.
DeleteEinstein understood relativity and explained it clearly, to readers who knew high-school math and were willing to work.
DeleteIt's Friday night in the U.S. Prime time for those with no lives to troll.
Delete10:39 Who would need to rig the mechanics of "the entire voting system" ? Whatever the fuck that means. You mean the imaginary national network of voting machines you've conjured up that Trump would take a screwdriver to? You've got both quite the imagination and a very limited one simultaneously.

ReplyDelete"Wait, Pete Hegseth wants men in the military to get hormone replacement therapy if their testosterone levels are too low.
So basically, Whiskey Pete is pushing gender affirming care.
Make it make sense."
Fucking weirdos, the whole lot of you.
Anonymouse 7:23pm, that like saying that putting more oil in your car is the same thing as rebuilding the entire engine.
DeleteWhere does this place women in the military services? What kind of fucked up country have we become? Should we pity Pete?
DeleteAnonymouse 7:57pm, women must undergo the therapy for low-t as to normal female levels.
DeleteAsked whether both male and female troops would be tested, and if female troops would be able to be evaluated for oestrogen-based therapy as they enter perimenopause, the Pentagon said it had no comment to add to Hegseth and Parnell's statements.
DeleteThis all sounds normal to you, bitch?
Anonymouse 8:17pm, I doubt that perimenopausal women or men of that age group are going to be in combat roles. They’re going to be in support roles.
DeleteMen can have low estrogen, causing health issues. But treating them for this wouid make them sissies, thinks Whiskey Pete, probably. Dumbass.
DeleteAnonymouse 11:21pm, is the concern about “health issues”? It’s about war, putz.
DeleteIt’s about keeping the troops healthy, putzette.
DeleteFucking weirdo trannytroll got to go mind his own fucking business.
DeleteFox News didn’t cover a presidential address? They’re fake news. They should be shut down.
ReplyDeleteCecelia, you would benefit from gender-affirming care.
ReplyDeleteAnonymouse 8:00pm, you better believe it.
DeleteCecelia would benefit from psychotherapy.
DeleteAnonymouse 11:26pm, too late.
DeleteTrannytroll gotta go.
