Fox News host says Biden should stop talking about 'the 500,000 dead' and quit kicking Trump 'in the groin'

A Fox News host chided President Biden for dedicating part of his speech to the COVID-19 death toll.

"We don't need to go over the 500,000 dead. We had that moment," Brian Kilmeade said Friday.

Kilmeade said Biden doesn't give the Trump administration credit and "kicks them in the groin."

Hey, Brybry, Fix & Friends, Rupert Murdoch: FUCK YOU! If any American ever deserved to be kicked in the groin, it’s Donald J Trump.

1. If Stormy Daniels is to be believed, that kick might have trouble finding a target.

Just saying...........

2. The last 4 years, everything was in service to Der Fuhrer.

The prolonged kiss-ass session has come to an end. We should be able to talk about things that don’t stroke Trump’s ego.

[Kid Berwyn]

18. Murdoch and the filthy rich really, really love the tax breaks.

Packing the federal courts with Federalist Society schlubs who let them lord it over Democracy is the other thing. It’s no wonder they never called Trump what he is: traitor.

4. I've seen lots of overweight men in suits, but never one who looks as odd as the Con.

What is it? He looks like a penguin, or like he's about to topple over. He looks like a cartoon character. And he has no clue how ridiculous he looks.

24. Whoa! Describes the Con to a T!

Thanks for that. I totally missed that post. Very interesting.

[smirkymonkey]

40. He is absolutely repulsive.

I got used to seeing him for a while, and he still sickened me. But now when I see him, he makes me flinch because he is so completely and bizarrely revolting. I wish he would disappear from the face of the earth.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Kilmeade is lashing out because FOX is in the ratings toilet.

Jealousy is showing.

[Kid Berwyn]

30. No wonder he sounds worried.

Rich people are gonna be plenty pissed, which is the common thread in all the disinformation.

ABC and the rise of Rush Limbaugh

The following brief history of ABC offers a perfect snapshot of everything that has gone wrong with the media. This remarkable story includes ABC's takeover by a conservative parent corporation, the demise of the Fairness Doctrine, the rightward shift of the evening news, the rise of conservative talk radio, and the cozy relationship between a state and a press that are supposed to be separate.

Excerpt...

Rush Limbaugh explains his success as the result of his individualism, of his refusal to do it someone's else's way. But the fact is that his success has been orchestrated, financed and promoted by Capital Cities/ABC. He also seems extraordinarily well-connected to the Republican leadership in Washington, carrying out their campaign strategies so faithfully that it is difficult to distinguish his promotions from their campaign commercials. For example, when Rush's television show debuted nationally two months before the 92 election, his producer was Roger Ailes, who was Bush's media advisor throughout the campaign. Many of the themes that Ailes had inspired earlier in the campaign showed up in identical form on Rush's show, which resembled a program-length commercial for the Bush campaign. When asked to give equal time to his opponents, Rush responded "I am equal time!"

In 1994, not only the Rush Limbaugh Show, but hundreds of other conservative talk shows dutifully raised the issues that Newt Gingrich's Contract Information Center faxed to them each morning about the Contract With America. Many went so far as to read them verbatim over the air. And when the Republicans captured Congress in 1994, they held a ceremony in honor of Limbaugh, naming him "an honorary member of Congress" and "the Majority Maker." That night, the conservative propaganda machine had reached its full potential.

31. That's what the facts show.

Writer Dan Benbow has created two resources filled with facts and sources.

Anatomy of a man-made disaster: Here are 595 hard facts about Trump’s abysmal COVID-19 response

Example: On February 1, 2018, the Washington Post reported that “CDC to cut by 80 percent efforts to prevent global disease outbreak” (7): “The global health section of the CDC was so drastically cut in 2018 that much of its staff was laid off (8) and the number of countries it was working in was reduced from 49 to merely 10. Meanwhile, throughout 2018, the U.S. Agency for International Development and its director, Mark Green, came repeatedly under fire from both the White House and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. (9) And though Congress has so far managed to block Trump administration plans to cut the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps by 40 percent (10), the disease-fighting cadres have steadily eroded as retiring officers go unreplaced.” (11)

and...

Anatomy of a man-made disaster: Here are 370 ways Donald Trump failed to keep us safe from the coronavirus

Example: In the second week of May, 2018, “the White House pushed Congress to cut funding for Obama-era disease security programs, proposing to eliminate $252 million in previously committed resources for rebuilding health systems in Ebola-ravaged Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. (13) Under fire from both sides of the aisle, President Donald Trump dropped the proposal to eliminate Ebola funds a month later. But other White House efforts included reducing $15 billion in national health spending (14) and cutting the global disease-fighting operational budgets of the CDC, NSC, DHS, and HHS. (15) And the government’s $30 million Complex Crises Fund was eliminated. (16)

“The White House proposal ‘is threatening to claw back funding whose precise purpose is to help the United States be able to respond quickly in the event of a crisis,’ said Carolyn Reynolds, a vice president at PATH, a global health technology nonprofit.

42. What has Trump really done?

Not much.



Besides helping Putin.

[PortTack]

9. He deserves a lot more than a kick in the groin!!

[Kid Berwyn]

47. Absolutely. It's one thing to be known as the worst ever.

It’s another to be held to account for it.

[getagrip_already]

10. he has grabbed our collective p@#$ies too many times, and continues to do it......

He deserves to kicked in what is left of his groin until time ends. It still wouldn't be one kick for every grab.

[Vinca]

11. Well, maybe they can book Herman Cain as a guest to discuss it. Oh . . . wait.

[Faux pas]

12. Yeah

like 500,000 + dead is NOTHING!?!?!!!! The "others" are a soulless lot for sure.

[SoonerPride]

13. He hasn't been kicked in the groin. Yet.

Wait until the indictments start dropping.

[nolabear]

14. "We had that moment?" WTAF?

Do they just not think at all?

[lagomorph777]

15. I agree. Don't use a steel-toed boot on Trump's groin.

The proper tool is a sledgehammer.

[gratuitous]

16. Yeah, why aren't we talking about important stuff?

I've seen rehashes of Whitewater, Obama's birth certificate, Chappaquiddick (really!), Monica Lewinski, and the tan suit. All issues of vital importance to the American people according to the fascisti. Nobody cares about a half million dead Americans! Mostly because Fox can't make a colorable case for blaming Democrats.

[GopherGal]

19. Don't forget Benghazi

Of course, now we're talking about more than 130000 times as many deaths as Benghazi

[DinahMoeHum]

22. Oh, did Fox and Friends say they wanted some more???

Well, here's some more.

[Initech]

25. He deserves to be kicked in more than just the groin!

[malaise]

26. Every time one of them want credit for Dems approach to the virus I will remind them of the

killer's lies and the over 530,000 dead/ I do not intend to give anyone a pass for all those dead people. It did not have to happen. Fuck Fux!

27. The lying murderous traitor belongs in prison.

And start the prosecutions.

Fox News pushed coronavirus misinformation 253 times in just five days

WRITTEN BY ROB SAVILLO
RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM LIS POWER, TYLER MONROE, OLIVIA LITTLE & JULIE TULBERT
Media Matters, PUBLISHED 07/16/20

Fox News repeated coronavirus misinformation 253 times in its weekday coverage from July 6 through 10, including claims that undermined scientific research about the pandemic, eroded trust in public health experts and policy recommendations, called for reopening schools and businesses without regard to public health precautions, and politicized the country’s response to the virus.

This avalanche of misinformation comes on the heels of a report from Yahoo News earlier this month claiming that Fox’s messaging on the coronavirus was undergoing a “remarkable turn” from its earlier coverage to “acknowledge ... that the coronavirus is a far graver threat.” As this report will show, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

From July 6-10, Fox News pushed coronavirus misinformation 253 times:

* Nearly half of Fox’s coronavirus misinformation was about the science of coronavirus and health recommendations from experts (115 instances).

* Fox politicized recommended public health measures, such as face masks usage and business closures, 63 times.

* Fox emphasized the economy and reopening schools 46 times despite public health concerns.

* Fox’s The Ingraham Angle was responsible for a quarter of all coronavirus misinformation on the network.

* Fox’s “straight news” shows accounted for more than one-third of all coronavirus misinformation.

Fox is first to lie because it takes about 20 times the lie’s volume in truth to change understanding in the open-minded. The closed minds, in most instances, cannot be changed. Hence Dump’s Base.

[C_U_L8R]

43. Thanks. Fox and the GOP have much to account for.

I think many of us have family that have been hoodwinked and seduced by this evil.

[spanone]

32. well, the former guy never mentioned them and his lying about the virus caused many of their deaths.

so shut the fuck up faux

[Midnight Writer]

33. We should have a memorial in Washington listing the names of the dead inscribed "Never Forget"

All these people who facilitated the spread of this virus should be shamed, shunned and scorned forever.

[Volaris]

45. I'd much prefer we put those names on bricks, and cover his golf green with them

[KY_EnviroGuy]

34. tRump kicked the entire nation in the groin numerous times......

including not taking scientific advice for COVID and many people got very sick and died.

Then there's the tax bill and invasion of our capital and many more worthy of kicks both in his groin and backside.

KY.........

[GoCubsGo]

35. Cockroaches don't like having light shined on them, so stop it!

It's not like anyone can get their foot near his groin with that gut hanging down over it, anyway.

[ScratchCat]

36. They should get

Herman Cain, John Prine, Roy Horn, Joe Diffy and Karl-Anthony Townes family to come on and talk about all the good stuff Trump did.

[joetheman]

38. It was ok for Trump to brag about zero deaths and then 15 through is lying mourth.

We will never forget and we will keep reminding the MAGAs of what Trump has done.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

39. I always refer to the show as "Dumbfucks and Friends."

[gulliver]

44. Trump's whole style is below the belt.

There should be no mention of the Trump admin participating with the vaccine suppliers to speed up the vaccine without pointing out a simple fact: Dems would have done the same thing better, and they would have done it without killing hundreds of thousands of people who didn't need to die.
