    Man, Gilmartin was bad. Good news though: they are apparently signing Diekman from Chicago, who was terrible this year, but has usually been decent. Let's hope he still has a little left in the tank.

    Saw that. I trust the front office. They have earned that by now. Hope to take the series tomorrow

    Just because Tuckers gone doesn’t mean the lies stop coming. One of the dimmer disingenuous anchors at Faux News is Harris Faulkner. As an aside this woman eyes are totally messed up. It looks like she got a remotely controlled butt plug sending unexpected shocks, it’s very distracting, but helps disguise the non stop nonsense she spews.

    She sat in for the dearly departed (and flopped) but came up with these two whoppers Much abuse transpired.

    We know who we are. And we know whose we are," Faulkner told the dwindling Fox News audience. "For those of us who believe, we must be bold in our faith right now. When you gather in public spaces pray thankfully over your food, even when the server gives you the stink-eye, or tells the manager that your peaceful grace is triggering them. Had it happen to me. I've been asked to leave a restaurant for openly bowing my head in prayer hands. In America. It's all good. They don't deserve my money anyway."

    and

    And sometimes we make dangerously bad decisions, like pandemic lockdowns and keeping our own children home from schools when a virus was hurting them far less often than adults," she said, ignoring the fact that family transmission often started with children (see below.) "You know, we didn't actually close schools in 1918 during the Spanish flu pandemic. We didn't even have penicillin back then. We did sacrifice. We suffered but then we pressed on. Our enemies hate us for surviving, but they would love to be like us."


    Fox News' Harris Faulkner just had a very bad week


    Man I despise aggrieved Christian morons…

    Penicillin wouldn't have helped with the Spanish flu.

    Watters is a massive tool and a total creep to boot so he’d fit right into the role like a glove. This is the same dude who slashed his now wife’s tires so she would be forced to talk to him and he could give her a ride.

    Maga’s hero, tucker was fired and fox had to pay for his treatment of women and for his lying to viewers. Hopefully Fox will embrace a more accurate presentation of news and stop treating their women employees like s.

    “Tucker Carlson's show was an abusive place to work, defined by bigotry, misogyny and bullying

    Fox News paid $12 million on Friday to settle“

    Fox probably views the settlements as a cost of doing business although my guess is that after it's experience with Dominion and currently Smartmatic the company has probably learned a lesson about defaming corporate plaintiffs with very deep pockets. In the future the Fox News talking heads will probably stick to individuals like Roy Epps who ironically was a conservative Trump supporter.
