Kayleigh gives a sneak preview of next week hosting Tucker’s old spot. She claims that abortion causes high crime rates on the streets because we don’t respect life, and says all Democrats except 1 or 2 want the same abortion laws as China and N. Korea.
Which explains why abortion rights have been upheld via voter referendum in red states like Kansas. Heck, even in South Carolina abortion access was preserved by Republican congresswomen.

Caught some of F&F as I drifted in and out of sleep. Their latest outrage is the guy who died in the subway after receiving a choke hold from a young former marine, and all the demonstrations overnight, plus How. Dare. The Governor. Make. Those. Statements! I don't know enough to judge who is in the right or wrong, and they're still investigating, but Kilmeade is mad as hell. Then they take that right into Hunter's laptop.

"This is all meant to distract people" -- Fox & Friends host Rachel Campos-Duffy dismisses protests over the killing of Jordan Neely as some sort of Democratic conspiracy to "consolidate power" with "fake racial stuff"
Lawrence Jones in same discussion was showing a lot of ANGER over the whole thing. I think he's auditioning big time for Tucker's old time slot.

Watch Jason Nichols fact-check Fox News host Lawrence Jones' fear-mongering in real time:

Tonight's first guest is the Texas Attorney General... to condemn gender-affirming care for trans kids... and not mention anything about the Allen, TX shooting.

Kayleigh announces that she will spend this week in Tucker’s old time slot fact-checking Biden Press Sect KJP, the same way she says the press fact-checked her briefings.

It's as if Fox higher-ups decide the previous week wasn't a big enough shitshow so they keep on digging.

Wasn’t the very first thing that she said at her first briefing was that she wouldn’t lie?

Narrator: that was the first of her numerous blatant lies

Meanwhile, Fox News' Kayleigh McEnany just blamed the Allen, TX shooting on mental health (no mention of the Nazi tattoos).

Then her guest credited the mass murder to "a lack of faith, family, and formation" (also no mention of the Nazi tattoos):

After Tucker Carlson Exits Fox News, Advertisers Start to Return to 8 p.m. Slot

Tucker Carlson is out at 8 p.m. on Fox News Channel, and the network hopes that a host of blue-chip advertisers that for years avoided his controversial hour will soon come back in.

Since Carlson’s stunning exit last month, a timeslot that has been shunned by many Madison Avenue stalwarts seems as if it is being embraced. Procter & Gamble, one of the nation’s largest and most influential advertisers, has been running ads in “Fox News Tonight,” the network’s new 8 p.m. program, for female-skewing products like Venus razor blades by Gillette and Secret underarm deodorant. Also showing up in commercial breaks: Novo Nordisk’s trendy medication Ozempic, and Scotts Miracle-Gro.

We have had over 40 new advertisers come into the hour since we launched the new program, including some of the largest in the country and, really, across all major categories,” says Jeff Collins, executive vice president of ad sales at Fox News Media, in an interview. “We have seen new advertisers come in, and new demand.”
:snippity:
The Madison Avenue moves didn’t escape notice. For years, Carlson’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” has largely been supported by so-called “direct response” advertisers, which typically pay a lower price in exchange for allowing the network to place their commercials on an as-needed basis. The top advertisers in the show in the past few years, according to audience-measurement firm iSpot.TV, have been Fox News Channel itself, via promos for its programs and its Fox Nation streaming service; MyPillow, the bedding product from conservative entrepreneur Mike Lindell; and Balance of Nature, a maker of nutritional supplements.

No mention of Allen, Texas on Jesse Watters yet but I'm sure this monologue is just a coincidence.

Conservative network Newsmax has promised to air a retraction after it used the wrong photo to depict Mauricio Garcia, the 33-year-old man with alleged neo-Nazi sympathies who went on a deadly shooting spree in Allen, Texas.

The Daily Beast reports that the incorrect photo was aired on Monday night by Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly, who questioned whether Garcia was really a white supremacist given his Latino heritage.

Despite the fact that social media posts written by Garcia show him praising Adolf Hitler, Kelly nonetheless refused to believe that the alleged perpetrator of a mass shooting was a neo-Nazi.

"I think they’re making it up as they go along,” Kelly said of Garcia's sympathies for white supremacists. “Sorry, but they have very, very little credibility. The same people—the media establishment, components of federal law enforcement—tell us that January 6 is the worst thing that ever happened since Pearl Harbor. I don’t believe these people, and neither should you.”

Good lord, they aren't even trying to hid their own white supremacist ties any more. Oh we can't admit he was a white supremacist because we don't want him to make us look bad. :brickwallsmall: :brickwallsmall: :brickwallsmall:
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

Tucker Carlson may be gone, but Fox News primetime is still whining about the demise of sexy M&M's

Who will consider the agency of the M&Ms and their desire to appear sexy?

Also, who thinks of M&Ms as sexy, other than Fox News?

Peanut M&Ms are a tasty treat though.
