Fox NewsKari Lake, the Trump-endorsed candidate for Arizona governor, was far from happy on Monday when Fox News anchor Bret Baier asked her about a report that linked her to drag queens.The interview, which was fairly tame on Baier’s end, began with Lake falsely claiming that the 2020 election was “fraudulent” and that President Joe Biden is “illegitimate.” Baier responded by playing a tape of Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers testifying before the House Jan. 6 committee last week that the ele

After the Supreme Court voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, Disney and Meta offered to pay travel costs for employees seeking an abortion out of state.

Fox News continues its counterprogramming effort by hosting the former Justice Department official central to part of President Donald Trump's effort to retain power.

The Fox News anchor pointed out the failure of Trump and his team to show any proof of ballot-rigging during the latest Jan. 6 hearing.

Dominion argued that Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch "believed Fox News would benefit if it endorsed former President Trump's election fraud narrative."

Although it's illegal to use Congressional testimony in campaign ads, MacCallum predicted the footage would be "turned around" ahead of the midterms.

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum on Tuesday said that witnesses testifying before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol are laying out a “huge, stunning and clear moment” showing a lack of evidence to support former President Trump’s claims of an unfair election in 2020.

Trump has spent much of the summer defending the display of the Confederate battle flag and monuments of Civil War rebels from protesters seeking their removal, in what he has called a culture war ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Meanwhile, he has rejected comments from Democratic nominee Joe Biden and others that there is systemic racism in policing and American culture that must be addressed. Vought's memo cites press reports as contributing to Trump's decision, apparently referring to segments on Fox News and other outlets that have stoked conservative outrage about the federal training. "The divisive, false, and demeaning propaganda of the critical race theory movement is contrary to all we stand for as Americans and should have no place in the Federal government."

CNN Video(CNN) - The Pentagon is preparing to withdraw thousands of troops from Afghanistan as part of a proposed peace deal with the Taliban, both The Washington Post and Fox News reported Thursday. So far, no agreement has been finalized, Fox News said. The withdrawal would cut the number of troops in the country from 14,000 to between 8,000 and 9,000, the Post said. Months of negotiations have taken place between the Taliban and Zalmay Khalilzad, an Afghanistan-born American diplomat who was appointed by President Donald Trump, the Post said. An agreement could be finalized ahead of the Afghan presidential election in September, but officials cautioned that Taliban leaders could delay that timetable.
