Harris trails former President Donald Trump 48% to his 51% in a Fox News poll of likely voters in Arizona released Thursday. Smith and Shaw noted that a major factor in the vice president falling behind in the polls was due to lower margins of support among women and Hispanic voters.

“I want to take you to look at some of what is happening in Arizona, and the preference right there is for Donald Trump by three points in the latest Fox News polling. But there are some warning signs for Harris and questions of whether or not she can close this gap,” Smith said.

WATCH:

“Some of the warning signs are coming from the Hispanic voters. She had an 18-point lead with them in August in that state. That has now shrunk to 11,” Smith continued. “When it comes to voters under 30, not only has that margin shrank, but it’s gone to the deficit. She had a 13-point lead there, and it’s now gone to a 12-point deficit.”

Trump picked up substantial support among Hispanic voters in polling due to issues like immigration and the economy before President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection on July 21. Harris has regained some support from Hispanic voters since replacing Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket in some polls.

“The Democratic coalition relies heavily on African American voters, on Hispanic voters, on younger voters, as you just pointed out. In 2020, Biden’s margin — you know, Trump barely got double digits with African American voters. He was in the 30s with Hispanics. He was in the 30s with voters under 30 years of age,” Shaw noted. “Now you’re talking about numbers amongst Hispanics in the 40s, numbers close to W. Bush’s numbers. Amongst younger voters, these are smaller sample sizes so we have to be a little cautious here, but the fact that he is competitive, let alone leading amongst younger voters, is devastating news for her campaign.”

“She desperately needs those voters to swing back to their traditional patterns she’s going to win a state like Arizona,” Shaw continued. “This is a state decided by 12,500 votes last time. You can’t hemorrhage voters from your key coalitions and expect to carry a state like Arizona.”

JT Lewis, whose brother Jesse was tragically killed in the Sandy Hook shooting, expressed his outrage on X, stating, “My brother was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting because of liberal policies like the one Kamala is pushing here… I wish there had been a police officer there to protect him. Students need more protection, not less!”

The comments in question were made by Harris during her 2020 presidential campaign at Benedict College in South Carolina. She spoke of “demilitarizing” schools, a euphemism for stripping away the very security measures that could prevent another tragedy. Harris’s focus was on what she perceives as “inequities” in school discipline, particularly affecting Black and Brown boys, rather than on the safety of all students.

Her stance was not just about removing police but also about reducing juvenile incarceration, arguing for less incarceration and an end to solitary confinement for juveniles. While these might sound compassionate, they ignore the reality that without proper security and consequences for actions, school environments can become chaotic and dangerous.

Fox News Digital attempted to get clarification from Harris’s campaign on whether she still supports these policies, but received no response. This silence is deafening, especially when parents like Ryan Petty and Andrew Pollack, who lost their daughters in the Parkland shooting, have publicly condemned her views.

Petty tweeted, “Wreckless. Radical. Kamala wants to make schools less safe. Your kids aren’t safe with Kamala Harris in office,” while Pollack added, “This is sickening. My daughter was killed because Parkland didn’t have enough security. We need more school resource officers — not fewer!”

The timing of Harris’s comments was particularly irresponsible, coming just before the 2020 riots following George Floyd’s death, which saw calls to “defund the police.” This movement led to many school districts across the country cutting ties with law enforcement, only to see a rise in school violence, forcing many to reverse these decisions.

Education Week reported in 2022 that at least 50 school districts had either removed officers or slashed their budgets, only to regret it as school violence spiked. This backtracking on security measures underscores the folly of Harris’s original stance.

Now, as Harris steps into the presidential race following Biden’s withdrawal, her past comments on school safety come under renewed scrutiny. They reveal a pattern of prioritizing ideological purity over the practical safety needs of American students. This is not just a policy misstep; it’s a failure of leadership that could have dire consequences for our nation’s youth.

It’s clear that if we want our schools to be safe havens for learning, not battlegrounds for political ideologies, we must reject the dangerous policies Harris once championed. Our children deserve better than to be pawns in a political game where their safety is the stake.

On Saturday, Trump made arrangements to replace the September 10 ABC debate he had scheduled with Joe Biden with a September 4 Fox News debate. He cited current litigation with ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos and the change in candidates for the shift.

As he noted on Truth Social:

“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th. The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest. The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined. The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party – BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!….”

Harris’ team responded on Saturday by claiming Trump is “running scared”:

“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out,” Harris campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement Saturday. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience.”

“We’re happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to. Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th.”

Reactions from social media have been a collective eyeroll regarding the ludicrous excuse.

Journalist Carmine Sabia reminded Harris that she already agreed to debate J.D. Vance on Fox News. Why won’t she debate Trump there?

As he posted on 𝕏:

Kamala Harris declines Fox News debate against Donald Trump. But she accepted a Fox News debate against JD Vance when Biden was the nominee. It is weird that she is so scared.

Conservative commentator Sean Davis said, “Trump agreed to debate Biden. Biden then dropped out of the race after everyone saw his brain was made of pudding. At no point did Trump ever agree to debate someone who wasn’t even nominated and hadn’t received a single vote.”

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly reminded Barack Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe that Trump has shown nothing but courage in his media appearances.

He went on CNN for a debate w/a network that loathes him (not to mention to the NABJ). @BretBaier & @marthamaccallum would be totally professional & fair & have a history of asking Trump hard Qs – I know, I was there. Why is she too scared to do this on Fox?

Donald Trump Jr. called Harris a coward, noting, ” My father already did a debate with Fake News CNN, so is Kamala going to accept the debate with Fox News? Or is she going to be a coward and back out?”

With Trump unable to debate on ABC due to litigation and Harris unwilling to debate on Fox News, will there even be a debate between the two?

Fox News Digital questioned these organizations about their sudden rejection of the “border czar” label, asking whether the Harris campaign had influenced their decision. Most did not respond.

PolitiFact rated the claim by Republicans that Harris, as border czar, was “put in charge of stopping illegal immigration” as “Mostly False.” Katie Sanders, the editor-in-chief of PolitiFact, clarified that the fact-check was not influenced by external pressures but was part of their ongoing coverage of political talking points.

USA Today similarly ruled it “false” to say she was “put in charge of the border” and that her role was “more limited” than what a border czar would do. Both USA Today and PolitiFact emphasized their independence and adherence to fact-checking standards.

The White House, however, has used these fact-checkers to bolster their narrative about Harris’ role. Axios, in particular, faced criticism for its role in perpetuating the “border czar” label, later updating its 2021 article and adding an editor’s note acknowledging the mistake.

CNN also went through a drastic shift. During the Biden-Harris administration, multiple correspondents and commentators referred to Harris as the “border czar,” including analyst Alyssa Farah Griffin.

But this week, CNN anchors including Jake Tapper, John Berman and Kasie Hunt have rebuked the title.

“[Former President Trump] said she was Joe Biden‘s border czar. She wasn‘t,” CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale said Wednesday. “She was never put in charge of the border. She was given a much more limited assignment to lead a so-called root causes diplomatic effort trying to address the reasons in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras that people choose to migrate.”

“Many Republicans scoff at this kind of fact-check, they’re like ‘There were a bunch of articles back in 2021, they called her ‘border czar.’ Frankly, those articles were wrong,” Dale added, touting the outlet’s own reports at the time that didn’t embrace the term.

Several hosts on MSNBC similarly pushed back against the label. Symone Sanders, who previously served as Harris’ chief spokeswoman in the Biden administration before joining the network, lumped in the border czar claims against her former boss with “misinformation” about the VP.

“People are going to have to challenge the misinformation,” Sanders said Wednesday on “Morning Joe.” “You already hear folks talking about the ‘border czar.’ She wasn’t the ‘border czar.’ She did diplomacy in Central America, but the campaign is going to have to make that case.”

ABC’s Jonathan Karl sang from the same sheet of music, saying, “She wasn’t the border czar. That’s what Republicans labeled her. She was given the job of dealing with all the migration that was coming up from Central America. But they will portray her as the one that was in charge of the border, which of course is issue No. 1 for Republicans.”

CBS News pushed back on the label with multiple segments dedicated to the subject on its streaming channel.

“Vice President Harris was not a border czar,” CBS anchor John Dickerson declared in one of the segments before a correspondent elaborated on what her role was.

“Ms. Harris was not, in fact, appointed border czar, nor was she tasked with addressing the broader problems plaguing the border itself,” the Times wrote last week. “Rather she was deputized by President Biden with the diplomatic mission of solving the ‘root causes’ of migration from countries like Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, tackling the issues that spur people to flee in the first place, like drug violence and lack of economic opportunity.”

With Fox News covering it and other outlets picking it up, it’s time to warn Americans about a huge potential problem: Illegal aliens hopping on the squatter bandwagon. Squatting has become such a problem in many Democrat-run (and some RINO-run) cities and states that homeowners are rushing to sell any rental properties that sit vacant. In areas with loose squatter laws, the asset of owning rental homes has become a major liability when squatters take “ownership” and live in these homes rent-free for weeks or even months. Sometimes, it can extend for years and cost the actual homeowner tens of thousands of dollars just to get their property back.

The illegal alien invasion will likely make the problem far worse, according to Flash Shelton in this article generated from corporate media reports…

Handyman-Turned-Squatter Hunter Outlines ‘Nightmare Scenario’ When Migrants Catch on to Housing Laws

A handyman-turned-squatter hunter, Flash Shelton, is concerned that lenient tenants’ rights laws in various states could lead to a squatting crisis as more migrants enter the U.S. Squatters’ rights and tenants’ protections vary across the country, with some states allowing non-paying individuals to occupy a property for extended periods. This can make it difficult for homeowners to reclaim their properties through legal means.

Shelton warns that the influx of migrants crossing the southern border could exacerbate the squatting problem. He advocates for reforming laws to deter squatting and questions the long-term consequences of allowing the practice to continue.

Since 2021, nearly 7.3 million migrants have entered the U.S. illegally, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Many of these migrants have been transported to major cities, with New York City spending billions on housing and support. Mayor Eric Adams has expressed concern that the issue could “destroy” the city.

Shelton argues that the already limited resources for homeless Americans are being further depleted due to the influx of migrants seeking refuge. He questions what will stop these migrants from taking advantage of squatting loopholes if they realize they can live rent-free for months.

The California handyman first encountered the issue of squatting in 2019 when two women took over his mother’s home. He eventually managed to remove them using a legal loophole and now offers squatter removal services to others.

Shelton warns of a “nightmare scenario” if politicians do not take action to curb squatting and believes the situation may already be beyond repair.

House Republicans released the text of a resolution charging Hunter Biden with contempt of Congress after Biden gave a defiant statement to members of the press Dec. 13. Hunter Biden refused to show up for a deposition after the House Oversight Committee and House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena Nov. 8.

“When you put that picture of Hunter Biden up, there’s somebody to his right as I’m looking at it. That guy is a really smart lawyer. It’s Abbe Lowell,” Gowdy, a former chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told Fox News host Martha MacCallum. “He represented Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump and he got Bob Menendez a hung jury.”

“His lawyer is smart, which can why I don’t understand, Martha, why not just go, invoke your privilege,” Gowdy added. “I don’t care what privilege, attorney-client, your Fifth Amendment privilege, marital privilege, priest-penitent, I don’t care what privilege you invoke, show up. He’s being held in contempt because he didn’t even bother to come.”

Hunter Biden is already facing criminal tax and gun charges after special counsel David Weiss secured a nine-count indictment of Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, for failing to pay over $1 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019 on Dec. 7 and a federal grand jury in Delaware indicted Biden on charges of illegally possessing a firearm while using illegal drugs and for making false statements in the course of purchasing the firearm on Sept. 14. Biden entered a “not guilty” plea in a federal court in Wilmington, Delaware Oct. 3, and is slated to appear in a federal court in California on Jan. 11, the AP reported.

“Candidly, just between us, I think he’s getting lousy advice,” Gowdy told MacCallum. “Remember before he was indicted in California, all the talk is about whether or not he was going to demand a public hearing instead of a private deposition. You know what, your lawyer should actually have been focused on making sure you weren’t indicted in California.”

Andrews filed a request with the Maine Revisor’s Office, indicating his desire to file a Joint Order or the appropriate parliamentary mechanism under Mason’s Rules to impeach Secretary of State Shenna Bellows. He criticized the process of appointing Constitutional Officers in Maine, asserting that they are selected by elected Democrat Party insiders through partisan deals in the State House.

In his statement, Andrews emphasized that he aims to impeach Bellows based on the grounds that she is preventing an American citizen, the 45th President of the United States, who has not been convicted of any crime or impeachment, from appearing on the Maine Republican Party ballot in March.

He accused Bellows of displaying hyper-partisanship, asserting that her decision is driven by political motives. Andrews highlighted the importance of upholding the democratic process and criticized the perceived lack of neutrality in Bellows’ actions.

Andrews’ press release cited a social media post in which he characterized Bellows’ decision as “hyper-partisanship on full display” and alleged that it serves her political ambitions.

In response to the controversy, Bellows defended her move during a CNN interview, stating that she carefully reviewed Section Three of the 14th Amendment and interpreted it to include Trump’s engagement in the January 6, 2021, events as an insurrection. She emphasized the weight of evidence indicating an attack on the Capitol and the rule of law.

The decision by Bellows to disqualify Trump from the 2024 primary ballot is part of a broader trend, as similar actions have been taken in other states, including Colorado, referencing the same constitutional clause. The controversy surrounding Bellows’ decision has sparked discussions on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment and its application to individuals who participated in events like the January 6 insurrection.

Fox News is arguably the biggest bad guy in American media. Unlike competitors like CNN and MSNBC, Fox News pretends to be right-leaning as they work on behalf of the UniParty Swamp. They’re the needle that taps the veins of conservatives who still watch them despite their clear allegiances. That makes Fox News more dangerous than their competitors who are blatantly leftist.

The top story they were promoting on their website most of Friday morning would be laughable if it didn’t represent a harbinger of their future intentions. On the homepage, it read, “Christian leader’s endorsement could shatter White House dreams before caucus.” The article’s actual headline is, “Could evangelical leader’s endorsement upend Trump’s massive lead before Iowa’s caucus?”

Let’s be clear. There are two possibilities with the GOP primary race. Either the Deep State is successful in taking Donald Trump out of the race through lawfare or he wins the nomination by a landslide. It would take an act of God for any of the current or potential  primary opponents to actually catch up to Trump; he’s currently beating Ron DeSantis in his home state by 41 points. Nikki Haley is “surging” as much as an also-ran can surge, but she’d have to consolidate everyone else’s supporters under her NeoCon umbrella in order to even come close to Trump. Let’s hope that never happens.

Fox News isn’t stupid. They are well aware of what’s happening which is why force-feeding their audience with this story at a time when there are exponentially more important news stories than the Iowa caucus is concerning. Remember, this was the headline story for hours. That means they wanted it to get more clicks than all the other below-headline stories combined.

The article itself doesn’t even make a strong case. Yes, Bob Vander Plaats, president and CEO of The Family Leader, said there’s still a chance for those participating in his Iowa event today. It’s his job to say that whether it’s true or not. Otherwise, he’s hosting a meaningless event. But the candidates participating only have a chance if Trump falls to lawfare. Those candidates are DeSantis, Haley, and Vivek Ramaswamy. Vander Plaats will then heavily promote the results of the event after the fact and will make his once-coveted endorsement in the weeks ahead.

I say “once-coveted” because he hasn’t endorsed a nominee for as long as I can remember. That’s not a knock against Vander Plaats who is a committed and patriotic man. It’s just that so much emphasis has been placed on Iowa despite the fact that the last time a non-incumbent winner of the Iowa caucus won the nomination was 2000. George W. Bush enjoyed about the same lead over his opponents back then that Trump enjoys today.

So why is Fox News pushing this garbage? In a vacuum I’d say it was just some editor or producer feeling fatigue about the news cycle, but this has been a recurring theme. Time and again they push false narratives and outright lies against Trump or in favor of their preferred candidate of the moment. That preference has been DeSantis, but Haley is getting more attention lately.

Considering the state of the race, most conservative outlets with a preference other than Trump are seeing the writing on the wall and shifting their editorial practices. I know this as editor of The Liberty Daily which gives me a bird’s eye view of the conservative media zeitgeist.

Fox News isn’t slowing down. They’re doubling down. That’s why I’m concerned. Those in media who cheer for one candidate or against another generally do so out of preference. That’s acceptable because it’s human nature. This seems to be far more personal for Fox News, which at a corporate level means there’s a danger perceived by the network or their bosses among the Globalist Elite Cabal.

If that’s the case, then Fox News is even more dangerous than I suspected. The longer Fox New and the globalists can make Republicans think someone other than Trump can win the nomination, the harder it will be for those Republicans to get onboard after the race is won.

To be clear, I do NOT begrudge any Republicans for not supporting Trump at this point. Americans can support whoever they want and I don’t consider it a threat at all for people to hold out or even never support him. Fox News is not a voter. They’re supposed to be a news outlet. The fact that they’re continuing to double down on their anti-Trump stance leads me to believe they will attempt to subvert him in 2024 just as they did in the final days of the 2020 election. It was more subtle back then, but it was clear that corporate Fox News wanted Joe Biden to win even if many of their show hosts did not. I believe they’ll do the same thing more aggressively this election which is why they’re still selling hopium before the primaries.

Trump is very far from perfect. My excitement level for his second term is lower than it should be because of his stances on the jabs, among other points of disagreement. But I’d prefer a known positive like Trump over a Deep-State-manufactured candidate. We’ve had far too many of those over the last six decades.

Leave your thoughts about this on my America First Substack.

It’s a ludicrous headline for a silly story that doesn’t even attempt to prove its point. In the world of modern American journalism, the headline is often the only piece of information readers will see. They don’t dig into the stories. They often never even click on them. The message (aka propaganda) Fox News wants delivered to the American people is all in the headline.

In this case, they want Republicans to believe Trump’s front-runner status for the Republican nomination for president is in jeopardy. That’s like reporting on Elon Musk dropping a quarter and claiming that his status as a billionaire is in jeopardy as a result. Trump’s comments about Hezbollah being smart enough to take advantage of the Biden-Harris regime was not inaccurate, even out of context. In context, it was spot on.

Then, there’s the comment he made about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu taking credit for the assassination of Iranian terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani. It’s true. Netanyahu decided not to participate in the operation, then took credit for “helping” make it happen after it was successful.

But here’s the important part. Very few Americans noticed Trump said anything about these things and those who did notice didn’t care. By no means is Trump’s front-runner status in jeopardy, but Fox News desperately wants people to think it is. They just can’t handle the truth.

Sound off about this on The Liberty Daily Substack.

That’s the key to their propagandist success against their right-leaning viewers. They’ll lambast Critical Race Theory in schools. They’ll hit Joe Biden on the border. They’ll declare how perverse Drag Queen Story Hour is. But in between their “safe” conservative perspectives, they’ll sneak in support for sending more taxpayer dollars to Ukraine. They’ll throw subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) jabs at Donald Trump. They’ll interview Lindsey Graham, Dan Crenshaw, and the other GOP Establishment NeoCons.

In other words, they indoctrinate what I call “Fox News Conservatives” into buying what the right-leaning wing of the UniParty Swamp is selling.

Ever since Election Day, 2020, I’ve wanted to write a piece about Fox News. I’ve hit them with small pieces and mentions on my show sporadically, but I wasn’t inspired to dedicate a full article to the subject until their coordinated attack was launched against Matt Gaetz following his ousting of UniParty Swamp Golden Boy Kevin McCarthy.

I know not everyone is a fan of Gaetz. You don’t have to be his fan to recognize that the response from Fox News has been unhinged for effect. And it’s not just Gaetz that they’re targeting. They’re going after anyone in Congress who wants to make the changes necessary to break up the status quo. Yesterday, I hit Brian Kilmeade for his “interview” of Tim Burchett:

They wanted the Ryan-Boehner-Romney-Bush GOP to rise and for MAGA to fade away. McCarthy was supposed to do that, but now their dream is stunted. Instead of licking their wounds and conspiring to promote the next RINO supervillain, they’re lashing out at the eight patriots who stood up to McCarthy on behalf of America and their constituents.

One such target is Tim Burchett, a Congressman from Tennessee. He went on with Fox News Swamp-shill Brian Kilmeade to discuss what transpired and to look ahead to brighter days for the Republican-controlled House and the nation. The interview started off cordially enough, but half-way into it Kilmeade became obnoxious. It got to the point that he could barely contain his spite toward the anti-McCarthy eight, continuously asking vitriolic questions before cutting Burchett off.

During one comical moment in the interview, Kilmeade interrupted Burchett while he was talking about being interrupted every time he spoke. Watch:

This is just another example of why Fox News is failing despite being clearly on top of cable news when Tucker Carlson was still there.

We’ve seen attacks by Fox News against “The Gaetzful Eight” for two straight days. Most hosts have been in full-blown smear-mode. But none of them have been more disgusting to me than what Mark Levin has been saying. My response to one of his smears garnered some attention with over 100K views so far. That’s far from viral, but for my shadowbanned account it’s well beyond my average reach.

As I noted on Twitter in reply to Levin’s attack of Gaetz:

True story about Mark Levin…

He’s currently complaining that Democrats backed the motion to vacate.

But when all but one Democrat backed Kevin McCarthy’s CR, you didn’t hear Levin calling him a moron. You didn’t see him screaming about McCarthy telling lies to conservatives. You didn’t hear a peep from him about McCarthy cutting deals with Chuck Schumer in private.

That’s because Levin and far too many “conservative” media figures are tasked with keeping Fox-News-watching Republicans aligned with the status quo.

People like Levin perpetuate the fiction that it’s all about Republican vs. Democrat. The last thing the powers-that-be want is for people to wake up to the reality that it’s actually the bipartisan, globalist-align UniParty Swamp versus the people.

The best thing @mattgaetz and his allies did was NOT getting rid of McCarthy. The best thing they did was to draw out the #SwampShills so we could recognize them by the agenda they serve.

BY NO MEANS do I believe Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump, or anyone other than Jesus Christ is above reproach. We are living in polarized times so it’s expected that people like Levin will express their opinions passionately. But the vitriol he’s been spewing seems over-the-top and extraordinarily lopsided.

Whenever attacks are lopsided they come across as hypocritical. Since I do not believe Levin is a hypocrite, I have to conclude he’s part of the Fox News controlled opposition crew.

And that’s disappointing.

Fox vs America

As I noted before, I am a firm believer that CNN and MSNBC do less damage than Fox News because their core audience is already brainwashed. Fox News watchers are generally right-leaning which means they’re generally more individualistic and therefore not aligned with collectivism.

At the end of the day, I believe the purpose of Fox News in their work on behalf of the UniParty Swamp (and therefore the Deep State and the Globalist Elite Cabal) is to herd right-leaning Americans into a collectivist mindset. They want us to follow the herd to get vaccinated. They want us to join the crowd by funding Ukrainian oligarchs. They want us to pretend there was no voter fraud in 2020 or 2022. They want us to think Kevin McCarthy is awesome and Matt Gaetz is evil.

Unfortunately, it’s working. I have friends who are otherwise aligned with my thinking who tell me my opposition to funding Ukraine means I’m a Putin-lover. There are far too many Republicans who think the last two elections were fair and square. And there are many Republicans who were skeptical of the jabs got theirs anyway because of what Sean Hannity or others said. Heck, even Trump has promoted them heavily in large part due to what Hannity and Mike Pence told him.

We need discernment badly. I know many of my readers have already switched to Newsmax, One America News, Real America’s Voice, or any of the other smaller networks. I’m not going to recommend any of them directly, mostly because the ones I consider to be “bad” are still better than Fox News. I’ll let readers discuss it in the comments. The key point is we all need to find news outlets we like that are NOT Fox. We also need to warn our friends and relatives who are still watching Fox News.

As a general rule, any outlet that’s running ads by Pfizer or Moderna are either leftwing or controlled opposition.

We can try to chalk it all up to left-leaning leadership or even ownership at Fox News. That’s partially valid. But we have to assume that they are fully captured by the powers-that-be. That means they’re not just at war with Donald Trump or Matt Gaetz or MAGA in general. They’re at war with America. Unfortunately, most of their viewers don’t realize this.

Propaganda comes in many forms. Sometimes it’s blatant. Other times it’s subtle. But once an outlet goes down the dark path, they should be considered lost forever.

Sound off about this story on my Substack.
