The long, tangled tale of Scott Pruitt — a pile of grift and corruption come to life — as head of the Environmental Protection Agency may finally soon be coming to an end. It won’t be because of a new scandal, but, rather, the fickle feelings of the folks on Fox News.

On Wednesday afternoon, as the nation tried to make sense of the EPA chief enlisting an aide with finding him a used mattress and helping him purchase a Chick-fil-A restaurant for his wife, a Fox News Twitter account blasted out this shot at Pruitt’s ongoing scandals. Read more…

Eagles players drag Fox News for airing misleading photos of them kneeling in prayer

The Philadelphia Eagles may have won the Super Bowl, but that doesn’t mean they’re without a feud. Several of their players are now taking Fox News to task for apparently misrepresenting images of them kneeling.

On Monday night, after the president “disinvited” the Eagles from the traditional Super Bowl champion White House visit, Fox News aired several photos of Eagles players apparently kneeling during a segment on the kerfuffle.

In case you missed the internet turning itself inside-out on Wednesday afternoon, Kanye West tweeted his love for Donald Trump and Donald Trump tweeted back.

It’s a messy situation, and Fox News star Shep Smith was positively ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ about it all.

When an exasperated Smith gets to the end of trying to suss it all out and can only say, “We’ll see what happens,” it feels like he’s speaking for a lot of us.  

Of all the 2018 stories we’ve heard so far, this is the 2018-est. Read more…

Laura Ingraham is having quite the no good, very bad 2018. 

After the Fox News host felt compelled to complain about Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg for “whining” about receiving college rejection letters via Twitter in March, things got ugly.

Ingraham received massive amounts of backlash for bullying a teenage survivor of a school shooting, and in addition to refusing her apology, Hogg asked his Twitter followers to contact Ingraham’s top advertisers to boycott. Read more…

Bitcoin Cryptocurrency Fox News Tim Draper Tucker Carlson

Tim Draper wore a Bitcoin tie on Fox News because fashion is dead

I’ll say this for venture capitalist Tim Draper: he is fully committed to the gimmick. 

Appearing on the Fox News show of sentient bowtie Tucker Carlson, Draper donned a Bitcoin tie and big Bitcoin broach to discuss his plan to divide the state of California up into three separate states: Northern California, Southern California, and Bitcoinlandia California.

While the “Cal 3” plan is Draper’s big current initiative — he says the proposal has garnered enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot — Draper is a huge proponent of Bitcoin and has been for a while, having scooped up thousands of bitcoin seized from dark web marketplace Silk Road and auctioned off by the U.S. government.  Read more…
