Decoding Fox News

Jeanine Pirro, the former Fox News host known for pushing Trump’s 2020 election lies, has been confirmed as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Pirro was a central figure in the $787.5 million Dominion defamation case, where Fox admitted the fraud claims she helped spread were false.

Judge Jeanine is in town!

I sincerely hope @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social sees this.

Running a media project is full of crazy. A man on Instagram kept sending me unsolicited advice. I thought it was odd. I figured out he is some sort of “internet consultant” which he wasn’t transparent about. He is restricted now. At least be honest with a sales pitch.

Everything she said is inaccurate. A ban has nothing to do with what she said. Our body recognizes high fructose corn syrup just as it does cane sugar.

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Whistleblower says he witnessed ‘barbaric’ and un-American tactics at Gaza aid sites

This is just awful - Whistleblower says he witnessed ‘barbaric’ and un-American tactics at Gaza aid distribution site youtu.be/tenIjZSl_3M?... via @YouTube

The whole thing was crazy. I blocked him on Twitter and Threads.

I think he’s a kid. He bills himself as “the youngest columnist” he had his high school listed on LinkedIn and he looked like a teenager. I immediately blocked him. 99% of the pitches I get are terrible.

I think he’s an actual child. He had his high school listed as his education and he bills himself as “the youngest columnist” he might be an adult but barely.

Some hardcore right-winger just pitched himself as a guest for my podcast AFTER he praised my podcast at length.

I could publish the email and make him look bad.

I won’t.

I don’t like to do that sort of thing.

Research before you pitch.

I’m not sure how this is relevant as the woman in the clip has a BA in media studies.

Jeffery Epstein? Fox Has a Big Fake Scandal About Obama to Obsess About A condensed overview of 15 hours of Fox News for the week ending 7/27/25

I don’t even think she’s 30 yet based on her LinkedIn profile.

Fox News invited Diana Atieh a self described MAHA mom and influencer to talk about Coca-Cola's decision to add a cane sugar version of their product to the U.S. market. Atieh has a degree in media studies. She's not a nutritionist or a medical professional. This makes no sense.

The Fake Obama Russiagate Scandal as explained by Sean Hannity - deep state, worse than Watergate, Jim Comey, conspiracy investigation, three elections, cinder blocks, Hillary Clinton's emails, Hunter Biden's laptop, hoax, dirty dossier, hookers, and a distraction from Epstein.

The folks at Fox News were outraged that Zohran Mamdani, a candidate in the race for New York City mayor, did not issue a statement about a recent crime. Fox did not mention what the other candidates in the race had to say about it or even what the actual mayor said.

Jessica Tarlov mentioned that the last Fox News Poll showed bad numbers for Trump across the board. Greg Gutfeld tried to yell over her. I provide receipts. @jessicatarlov.bsky.social is correct as usual.

Every now and then Fox News includes a guest who says things they aren't supposed to say. A man standing outside of Fox News headquarters declared that was having a wonderful trip to New York City and that they people were great. Fox normally portrays NYC as a lawless hellscape.

It’s a very strange form of toxic masculinity. It’s got to be suffocating to live like he does - with all the crazy rules and standards.

Jesse Watters remains obsessed with the behavior of other men. He really should listen to himself as he seems to have some unresolved issues.

She has just gotten into a terrible car accident before she committed suicide. Her story is quite sad.

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.

Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?

Trump: I think so. He stole her.

Especially since one of those employees went on to be the most outspoken victim of Jefferey Epstein.
