Fox started the week by bashing Biden in every way possible. Nearly every segment was dedicated to Biden’s mental acuity. Jesse Watters declared that Democrats should just give up now. Fox News continues to mislead its viewers about Project 2025. After Trump survived an attempted assassination attempt Fox News hosts claimed it was a miracle. Rachel Campos-Duffy claimed he had a magical force field around him. Rep. Cory Mills quote the Bible. A Trump supported Blamed Nancy Pelosi and AOC for the attack. Judge Jeanine Pirro seems to think West Germany is still a thing.

Fox News spent a lot of time trashing Biden even including segments during the July 4th celebrations. The network also is starting to pivot to trashing Vice President Kamala Harris. She’s the mastermind of a vast conspiracy to cover up Biden’s declining mental state. Hunter Biden has the nuclear codes. Bernie Sanders and The Squad are going to rip the country in half. The Democrats will stack the Supreme Court! Trump definitely won’t abuse his power and a preview of what life might look like under Project 2025.

Fox News was surprisingly subdued after Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance. The day after the debates they interviewed white folks in diners where they blamed the First Lady Jill Biden for everything. An RNC spokesperson claimed the DNC has been hiding Biden’s cognitive decline for years. Fox News hosts glossed over Trump’s many lies and Rachel Campos-Duffy went off the deep end in many ways. There was also signs among the MAGA faithful that they are worried Trump won’t win the 2024 election.

This is the second half of a comprehensive fact check of Trump’s statements during the presidential debate on CNN on 6/27/24

This is the audio version of a comprehensive fact check of 53 lies Donald J. Trump told during the first presidential debate. Because there were so many I had to break it into two parts. This is Part One. Part Two will drop shortly. The written version, complete with hyperlinks to all sources, can be found at the Substack channel for Decoding Fox News. It is free for anyone to read.

Fox New promoted a lot of stories about crimes allegedly committed by undocumented immigrants. While the network pretended to care about the safety of American women it ignored a Supreme Court ruling that supported a law that bars domestic abusers from owning guns. Jesse Watters attempted to mock Joe Biden for walking like an 81-year-old man. Newt Gingrich compared Trump to Reagan and predicted that Trump would be calm and controlled with sparring with Biden. A data expert didn’t seem to know that wages have outpaced inflation for 12 straight months and there was some drama about a Fox Ne...

Hunter Biden was found guilty of three felony gun charges and everyone on Fox News lost their ever loving minds over it. Judge Jeanine and several other hosts decided that First Lady Jill Biden was intimidating the jurors when she showed up at her stepson’s trial. Juan Williams pointed out the obvious that Americans are rarely charged for lying on gun forms. Jesse Watters and Charlie Hurt made things up about undocumented immigrants voting. Greg Gutfeld laid track for the next Big Lie where Trump will claim he won the 2024 election no matter what the outcome. Judge Jeanine al...

Fox tried to forget that Trump was just found guilty of 34 criminal felony charges. The network focused on his fundraising while openly shilling for his campaign. Fox also trotted out two old villains - Hunter Biden, the drug-addicted son of the president and Dr. Anthony Fauci, a man the right-wing has turned into a sadistic mad scientist. Judge Jeanine blamed Jill Biden for the actions of her husband. Donald J. Trump seems to think he’s God. Steve Doocy openly called Trump a convicted felon and Laura Ingraham rehashed old conspiracy theories about COVID-19.

Fox & Friends featured an interview with Trump that was supposed to be 90 minutes long yet they just recycled and cut up the same 15 minutes over four hours. Trump made a slightly racist remark to Rachel Campos-Duffy. Will Cain fawned all over him. Gov. Doug Burgum called for people to rise up against the Trump verdict. Jesse Watters predicted a revolution while Greg Gutfeld implied they’ll be riots if Trump doesn’t win in 2024. I also do a bit about Judge Jeanine Pirro at the end.
