Good Lord. She didn't know about the Webb telescope.Fox News host Laura Ingraham acknowledged her mistake in mocking President Joe Biden’s reference Monday to the James Webb Space Telescope, having seemingly been unaware that a telescope by that name exists. In his remarks at the White House, Biden had mentioned the Webb telescope in the context of his executive order designed to combat the potential negative consequences of artificial intelligence. “Did he call it the ‘Webb telescope’? Isn’t it the Hubble? Is he thinking of Webb-Hubble? I don’t understand,” Ingraham said, bursting into laughter. Shortly after, the Fox host cleared things up. “There is a Webb telescope that I didn’t know about,” she told viewers. “I stand corrected by Joe Biden.” Since its launch on Christmas 2021, the telescope—which is more advanced than the much older yet still active Hubble telescope—has captured a stunning array of images of the solar system and points beyond.
Fox News is showing its true colors, yet again.
The right-wing television network has remained entirely silent amid fierce backlash stemming from Islamophobic comments made on its top-rated show, “The Five,” by one of its top hosts, Jesse Watters.
In an astonishing and ugly rant, Watters on Wednesday said that he was fed up with Arab Americans and the entire Muslim world. “We have had it with them,” Watters declared during the diatribe, which aired during a segment about activists ripping down posts spotlighting Israeli hostages.
“And so, if you’re an Arab American in this country, and you ripped down posters of Jewish hostages of American hostages — no, no, no, no, someone is going to get punched in the face when you rip down posters of hostages like that,” Watters added.
The remarks earned Watters and Fox News another stinging rebuttal from the White House, which called them a “sickening attack on the rights and dignity of their fellow Americans.” The White House added that Fox News “owes an apology to every single viewer.”
If you’re waiting for an apology from Fox News, however, don’t hold your breath (you should probably know this by now). As usual, Fox News hasn’t said a word about the hateful rant that streamed out of a top host’s mouth and into the homes of millions.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) “Yes, I actually can … The reality is that this was the policy of the American Rescue Plan, of the CHIPS Act … of the Inflation Reduction Act.”
The sad part is that even when Fox *denies* this kind of thing publicly, we have in the past tended to assume that they are doing so out of mendacity. The fact that the reporter asking the question didn't know enough to know how easy it would be to have the receipts just compounds the problem -- they have spent so much time eating their own dog food that they no longer as reporters know the truth in order to cross the street to avoid it.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 4:59 pm Fox News’ Sandra Smith: “Can you tell me what specific policy under this president created those jobs?”

We all need to start calling him 'Bree-AHN', clearly.

A bit more at the link.Fox News host Brian Kilmeade praised "slave owners" because he said the United States of America would not exist without them.
Kilmeade made the remarks on The Charlie Kirk Show on Monday while promoting his book about Booker T. Washington and President Theodore Roosevelt.
"But for the most part, we are a country that was born, like every other country, every continent had slaves," Kilmeade said. "In the South, most houses, most plantations had slaves. Nobody condones it. But without those slave owners, we don't have a country. So you make your choice."
