Fox News hosts like to spout the slogan "Blue lives matter" – but they obviously don't mean it. While other networks were showing the memorial service for Brian Sicknick, Fox was pushing a conspiracy theory that Biden and Fauci are helping China to "dominate the world." Wow.

Twitter users pointed out the “striking contrast” between the conservative network and the other cable news channels.

At least 13 times in November and December, Fox News reported that Smartmatic's electronic voting systems were changing Trump votes to Biden votes. The story is 100% false – but that didn't stop Fox from repeating it. Today in response to a lawsuit over the "demonstrably false" reporting of Smartmatic "rigging" the election, Fox News issued this statement: "We are proud of our 2020 elecftion coverage and will vigorously defend this meritlesss lawsuit in court." "Meritless"? Really? Wow.

Smartmatic hits Fox News with $2.7 billion lawsuit over election coverage
“Defendants’ story was a lie,” the suit alleges. “All of it. And they knew it. But it was a story that sold.”

OIne day after Smartmatic filed a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox, three of its hosts – Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro – and Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, Fox has canceled Lou Dobbs Tonight. Dobbs, one of Trump's biggest cheerleaders, spewed a steady stream of unfounded allegations of widespread voter fraud and voting machines changing Trump votes to Biden votes. Trump, of course, had high praise for him: "Lou Dobbs is and was great. Nobody loves America more than Lou. He had a large and loyal following." Liars certainly stick together!

Trump called in to Fox News today to talk about Rush Limbaugh, who died this morning. Then he repeated his lie that he won the election and he said Limbaugh thought so too. He still refuses to admit he lost.

Donald Trump has always loved the Fox News Channel, a.k.a. the Trump Cheerleading Channel. Their hosts worship him almost as much as he worships himself – and they share his two main goals: "Make America hate again" and "Make America white again."

Fox News, a.k.a. the Trump Cheerleading Channel, claimed Biden's climate-change proposals include asking Americans to cut "90% of red meat" from their diet. Donald Trump Jr. shared the story on Twitter. Of course it was 100% false.

Tucker Carlson, who has never heard a conspiracy theory he didn't like, has come up with a conspiracy theory of his own: "The Biden administration is spying on us. We have confirmed that." Yes, he told his gullible viewers that the NSA is spying on him for "political reasons" and trying to get his nightly program taken off the air. Of course none of that is true – but since when has any Fox News host ever cared about truth?

Tucker Carlson claimed the NSA is spying on him. Even his own colleagues don't seem to believe it.
