Podcast #233 - Fox News: A Funeral for a Movement that Doesn’t Know it’s Dead Yet

Last week Fox News continued to scramble to come up with content that would keep its viewers’ eyes on the screen while it avoided unpleasant news for Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party.

The latest jobs report was dismal, the president’s approval ratings hit a record low and polling for Republican candidates continued to drop.

The Network tried to distract its audience with segments about National Pumpkin Spice Day, Fat Bear Week, salacious criminal trials and the body cam footage from the arrest of Luigi Mangione.

Fox News hosts also made excuses for President Trump and problematic candidates like Ken Paxton. More Fox News hosts joined Laura Ingraham and Brian Kilmeade in their outspoken criticism of the war with Iran.

More than one Fox News host also begrudgingly brought up the outrage surrounding the Epstein files, a topic the network has ignored for several months.
