Sexual Harassment Panda/Watters is gonna be worse than Tucker in many ways. I don't think he's as intelligent and will say something truly offensive on the air that Fox will no doubt have to fire him at some point. But he's gonna be a complete shit-heel in the interim.

Yep.  Just your scheduled reminder that Fox elevated a fucking PROUDLY ADMITTED STALKER AND SEXUAL PREDATOR, who did his predation while married, to its highest profile position:

Quote

Fox News host Jesse Watters made a bizarre on-air admission Monday, saying that he deflated the car tires of a 25-year-old colleague in order to be in a position where he could offer her a ride home. 

Watters, who was 39 at the time and already married, also said that the woman in question was Emma DiGiovina - who ultimately became his second wife. The two were married in December 2019. 

'When I was trying to get Emma to date me, first thing I did, let the air out of her tires,' he said with a smile last week. 

'She couldn't go anywhere, she needed a lift,' Watters said. 'I said "Hey you need a lift?" She got right into the car,' he bragged. 

After his co-hosts expressed surprise, Watters claimed that his wife was unaware of his antics to this day.

Watters then appeared to justify the trick by stating that the pair are now married.  

'It has a happy ending,' Watters declared.

Another of his colleagues then asked if he had taken the air out of other women's cars in order to get them into his own - to which he implied that he may well have done. 

'Is that the first time you did it, or did you use that before?' Jeannine Pirro inquired.

'It works like a charm!' he bragged. 

This is the voice and face of Fox.  This is who the network is, and who its viewers are.  Fucking "deplorable" is just scratching the surface.

They worship a goddamned predator who fucking BRAGS about it (well, another one -- Trump was their first god in that respect).

Former Fox executives say they regret helping Rupert Murdoch birth ‘disinformation machine’

By Oliver Darcy, CNN

Published 9:48 PM EDT, Wed July 12, 2023

Rupert Murdoch is shown at his annual party at Spencer House, St James' Place in London.,Thursday June 22, 2023.

Editor’s Note: A version of this article first appeared in the “Reliable Sources” newsletter. Sign up for the daily digest chronicling the evolving media landscape here.

CNN — 

Three former high-ranking Fox executives are blasting Rupert Murdoch for Fox News’ role spreading disinformation in the public discourse.

In a joint statement published Wednesday, the executives — Preston Padden, Ken Solomon, and Bill Reyner — expressed profound regret for their roles helping Murdoch build Fox in its early days. Padden was Fox’s chief Washington lobbyist; Solomon was the vice president of network distribution; and Reyner was the lead outside counsel.

While none of the executives worked on Fox News, the work they did on behalf of Murdoch decades ago established Fox as a national television force and helped pave the way for the birth of the right-wing channel.

“At the time of our work in the 1990’s, we all greatly admired Rupert Murdoch and his vision and bold efforts,” the trio said in their statement. “We genuinely believed that the creation of a fourth competitive force in broadcast television was in the public interest.”

“We never envisioned, and would not knowingly have enabled, the disinformation machine that, in our opinion, Fox has become,” they added.

Padden, who has recently expressed support for the Federal Communications Commission examining Murdoch’s broadcasting licenses, told me by phone on Wednesday that the group had been privately communicating to each other about Fox News, lamenting what they had indirectly helped create.

“We had all talked individually about how we wished there was a way we could say something about how we feel,” Padden said. “So I drafted something.”

The blistering assessment of Murdoch’s Fox News came on the same day that the right-wing network was sued — yet again — for defamation. Ray Epps, the Arizona man that conspiracy theorists have falsely claimed led an FBI plot to orchestrate the January 6 insurrection, alleged the network and former host Tucker Carlson ran a “years-long campaign spreading falsehoods” about him that “destroyed” his life.

It’s only the latest lawsuit Fox News has faced for advancing false election conspiracy theories after Donald Trump was defeated at the ballot box in 2020.

The network in April agreed to a historic $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems after its high-profile hosts and guests spread lies on the air about the election technology company. In that same month, Fox News also settled an election-related lawsuit with a Venezuelan businessman who had sued the network.

More recently, Fox News settled a lawsuit with one of its former producers, Abby Grossberg, who accused her former employer of sexism and pressuring her into giving false testimony in the Dominion case. The network paid $12 million to Grossberg to settle the lawsuit, her lawyer said.

Fox News is also facing another major defamation lawsuit from voting technology company Smartmatic, which is suing the network for $2.7 billion.

Padden told me that he believes there is an “obvious connection between January 6 and Fox News,” arguing it has been “vividly illustrated by the fact” that the network has been blamed in court, with one defendant even claiming he suffered “Foxitus.”

“Apparently it is a disease you get from watching false news on Fox,” Padden quipped on the phone.

In fact, Epps all but said that he too had a case of “Foxitus.” In his lawsuit, Epps alleged that he was at the US Capitol on January 6 because he was “persuaded by the lies broadcast by Fox asserting the election had been stolen.”

“I think that something has to be done about a news organization that earns the moniker ‘Foxitus,’” Padden told me.

Padden said that the reception to their statement Wednesday had been overwhelmingly positive, with the trio receiving applause from many others who worked for Murdoch in the early years of Fox.

“Everybody shares the same frustration,” Padden said.

Current foxnews headline should read: “Unnamed Former FBI Agent May Confirm Unspecified Important Hunter Biden Whistleblower Details, Unnamed GOP Source Says.”

That’s quality journalism right there.

Too funny!  "Fox pretends to care about Christians, but some of the stuff they push internally suggests otherwise. Glory holes, trans surgeries for kids, and potential donations to Satan are a huge slap in the face to every Christian at the company."

Oh so that's why they put "Work makes you free" over the gate.

 

In the year of our Lord 2023 we have Fox News hosts delicately trying to explain what they’re “uncomfortable” with the idea that black people benefited from being enslaved. This is straight uncut “don’t piss off the Lost Causers.”

The Holocaust comment manages to be even worse somehow.

I’d forgotten about Megyn until people started posting about her on this thread. I might have to put people sharing her shit on ignore. 
 

if she wants to talk about loyalty why didn’t she sing the company line at Fox when she was harassed?  She’s a traitor by her own logic but irony is lost on people like her.

Okay, I'm going on a little MAGA rant for a minute spurred on by this bullshit.

For MAGA it's all performance art.  It's like they have their own old Testament book of laws, I'm thinking Numbers, where you have these checklists of irrelevant stupid shit that makes you a good "American" or "Christian" in their eyes.  I imagine the checklist has inane and insane shit in it like:

Don't kneel for the anthem, stand.  No, don't just stand there, sing. Put a flag with a blue stripe sticker on your car. Taze cops trying to stop you from getting into the Capitol. Outlaw abortion. Refuse heath care to the mothers and newborn babies. Don't be brown. Push the brown kids and pregnant moms into the razor wire. Lick orange nuts. Public schools are bad.  Giving nutjobs the tools to shoot up schools will help us close them down.

Confederates would fly a black version of their flag to communicate that enemy combatants would be killed and not allowed to surrender. It’s no accident it was chosen by cops.

She's lost most of her relevance.  To a large portion of the country she doesn't exist.  To MAGA she's a 2nd rate Candace Owens.  The fact that she was able to turn her celebrity into a giant contract and a daytime show says more about the state of TV braintrust then it does her talent and charisma. 

Water finds it's level.

She recently dropped a tweet to Apple about issues with her podcast on that platform, claimed to having one of the Top podcasts on Apple… I checked the week ending of that tweet and she was ranked 72/100, guess that’s “Top”.  I’d imagine there’s hundreds/thousands of podcasts on there.

Dedicated viewers of Fox News are likely familiar with Lear Capital, a Los Angeles company that sells gold and silver coins. In recent years, the company’s ads have been a constant presence on Fox airwaves, warning viewers to protect their retirement savings from a looming “pension crisis” and “dollar collapse.”

One such ad caught the attention of Terry White, a disabled retiree from New York. In 2018, White invested $174,000 in the coins, according to a lawsuit by the New York attorney general — only to later learn that Lear charged a 33 percent commission.

Over several transactions, White, 70, lost nearly $80,000, putting an “enormous strain” on his finances, said his wife, Jeanne, who blames Fox for their predicament: “They’re negligent,” she said. A regretful White said he thought Fox “wouldn’t take a commercial like that unless it was legitimate.”

We could put out a “Fox News” text reply poll asking their viewers “Should Hunter Biden be impeached?” And charge $1.99 to respond.  We’d make a million dollars before anybody knew anything about that question is bullshit.

I don't watch Fox or look at their website.  However, my google news feed gives me a relatively steady diet of Fox and NY Post headlines.

I think NYP Is actually worse than Fox for disingenuous headlines.  They have had several bullshit headlines like this and on this topic.

DOJ can’t sink any lower after attempted jailing of Hunter Biden’s ex-partner Devon Archer before his testimony

 

https://nypost.com/2023/07/30/doj-cant-sink-any-lower-after-attempted-arrest-of-hunter-bidens-ex-partner-devon-archer/

To save you from having to look at any of this, Archer testifies to the Comer-Jordan monkey shit committee today.  Last week he lost the appeal of his criminal case.  Upon receiving the mandate from the court of appeals, which sends the case back to the trial court, DOJ sent a letter to the trial date asking the judge to set a "report date" for Archer to go to prison.  Standard shit.  The report date is going to be weeks off, not today.

This is an utter load of shit.  The monkey shit slingers are pretending the government is trying to put Archer in prison today so he can't testify.

TOPLINE

A St. Louis man who Tucker Carlson said was “clearly a law enforcement officer” and an “agent provocateur” was arrested and charged by the FBI on Wednesday over his alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol attack—the participants of which have continuously been charged and sentenced more than two years after the attack.
Capitol Riot Arrest
This image from video contained in the statement [+]
ASSOCIATED PRESS

KEY FACTS

The man, Daniel Donnelly Jr. , was charged with theft of government property and obstructing, impeding and interfering with law enforcement officers during the attack on the Capitol.


In a Facebook video where Donnelly Jr. was wearing red face paint and a “Keep America Great” hat, he admitted to being at the Capitol on January 6, according to the filing.

In the video, prosecutors said Donnelly Jr. talked about his experience at the riot, saying he took up a lot of space with a riot shield and that other rioters “kind of” followed his lead, later claiming he “got further than anyone.”


Carlson, who has falsely claimed multiple times that the January 6 riot was a false flag attack, displayed a picture of Donnelly Jr. in a segment on his former Fox News show, claiming Donnelly Jr. was “clearly a law enforcement officer” who participated in a government scheme against Trump supporters.

It is not clear if Donnelly Jr., who could not be reached for comment, has an attorney.

KEY BACKGROUND

Donnelly Jr. was first identified in 2021 by HuffPost, which said his biggest claim to fame was being a St. Louis Cardinals superfan known as “Rally Runner,” an unofficial mascot who sprinted outside the baseball team’s home stadium during games. A filing detailing Donnelly Jr.’s actions at the January 6 Capitol attack alleged the St. Louis man changed his legal name to Rally Runner, citing DMV records. Officers confirmed Donnelly Jr.’s presence at the Capitol through open-source, body camera and closed-captioned surveillance video, according to a filing. In photos from the filing, a man matching Donnelly Jr.’s appearance can be seen near the head of a charge at the Capitol’s lower west terrace doorway.
