South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem embarked this week on one of the more tumultuous book tours in recent memory, as she was peppered with questions about an anecdote about killing her dog Cricket, and another story about meeting North Korean leader Kim Jung Un. Major doubts were raised that the latter story was true.
As she sought to promote No Going Back, she was peppered with questions in interviews with mainstream outlets like Face the Nation and NewsNation, but some of the most contentious Q&a have been with those on the right, like Fox Business’ Stuart Varney and Newsmax. The book was an obvious was of getting attention as Donald Trump considers potential running mates, but Rob Finnerty of Newsmax went so far as to tell her, directly, “I don’t even think you’re on the list.”
Now Noem has started to cancel media appearances.

Jon Stewart unpacked Trump’s $454 million appeal bond on Monday night, calling out so-called experts framing his New York civil fraud case as a “victimless” crime.
The Daily Show host played a reel of Fox News personalities and guests, from Sean Hannity to Stuart Varney, defending the former president after the multimillion dollar judgment was levied against Trump for conspiring to inflate his net worth in order to deceive banks and insurers.

Media-wise, the 2024 presidential election crosses the official starting line with debate season, and this cycle the contenders on the Republican side, including a multiple-indicted former Potus, are looking to beat Democrat Joe Biden and take over the White House. But first they have to take on one another.
For the candidates, debates are a way to score points against a rival, stand out from the field or define a campaign that’s heretofore been rudderless.

Front-runner Trump has opted out of all the debates so far. In August, he instead decided to hold forth with Tucker Carlson in a more friendly pre-taped interview. That debate drew 12.8 million viewers on Fox News. He also did not participate in the September 27 debate in Simi Valley, CA, which drew 9.5 million viewers across Fox Business and Univision and simulcast on Fox News.

The tone of the second Republican primary debate can best be summed up with a slip of the tongue from Vivek Ramaswamy: “Thank you for speaking while I’m interrupting.”
Over two chaotic, loud, and often unintelligible hours, seven candidates appeared onstage for a second round of jabs between presidential hopefuls — who at this point are all still fighting for second place. Fox News once again hosted the debate, tapping Stuart Varney, Dana Perino, and Univision’s Ilia Calderón as moderators. The trio struggled to maintain any semblance of control over the proceedings.

Update: Moderator Dana Perino tried to finish off the debate with a Survivor-style question: Write down their choice on who should drop out of the race, given that none of them would get the nomination over Donald Trump unless the field was thinned.
“Which one of you, tonight, should be voted off the island?” Perino asked.
Ron DeSantis, however, put a stop to it. “I think that is disrespectful to my fellow contenders.”
Chris Christie, however, seized on the question to argue that Donald Trump should be voted off the island.
“This guy has not only divided our party, he has divided families all over the country,” Christie said.
Previously: Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment — thou shall not speak ill of another Republican — has been cited during the debate but surely not followed.
As if realizing time was running out to make a mark, candidates came prepared to attack the others.

At Fox Business Network — for one night, at least — it’s all a lot more than the economy.
When the cable outlet televises a Republican primary debate on September 27, many of the strategies it used the last time it did so are going out the window. Gone are moderators Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo, who have experience with such events. In their place: First-timers Stuart Varney and Dana Perino, alongside Univision’s Ilia Calderón. The network will also move away from its efforts to focus largely on business and economic topics, as it has in the past.
Executives at Fox News Media have begun contemplating when to take more momentous news coverage to a broader audience, says Jay Wallace, president and executive editor of Fox News Media, in an interview. “There are very few events out there anymore,” Wallace says. “People do care about politics,” he adds. “It is a...

When Fox announced Carlson’s departure on Monday, the network presented the separation as amicable. But according to one former on-air Fox personality, the anchor and some of the channel’s top executives are parting ways on “the worst” and “messiest possible terms.” Indeed, in private communications released last month as part of the Dominion-Fox lawsuit,...

Lara Trump, a vociferous supporter of her father-in-law and his policies when he campaigned for re-election to the White House in 2020, is parting ways as an official contributor to Fox News Channel.
The Fox Corp.-backed network confirmed Saturday that Trump, wife to President Donald Trump’s younger son, Eric, was no longer an official contributor to the network, which hired her in the role in the spring of 2021.
“We appreciate Lara’s valuable contributions across Fox News Media programming,” the company said in a statement. Fox News’ decision was previously reported by The Los Angeles Times.
Fox News has long maintained a policy that prohibits people from being contributors when they announce a campaign for public office. In this case, since Donald Trump has announced his intention to run once again for president, the network’s rules bar Lara Trump from being paid for her commentary. She could conceivably...

The anchors of Fox Business Network have long delivered the latest business headlines. Now some may be getting ready to debate them, too.
Fox Business is preparing to launch a new discussion program that aims to emulate some of the biggest programing hits in recent years on its sibling, Fox News Channel, where so-called “roundtable” shows have fast become a staple of its schedule. The shows can serve to develop personalities who find themselves leading their own hours within a few years, as has been the case for Greg Gutfeld, who helped launch the late-afternoon program “The Five” and now also leads a late-night program at 11 p.m.
“We have had a ton of success on Fox News side with shows like ‘Outnumbered’ and ‘The Five,’” says Lauren Petterson, the president of Fox Business Network, in an interview, adding: “We want to try and take that format and replicate it on the Fox Business Network,...

Tucker Carlson has been a little confused about how to respond to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He’s long praised Vladimir Putin and even said the other year that he was rooting for him against Ukraine. Putin has since waged a war that has resulted in thousands of deaths, muddling Carlson’s messaging. The Fox News host last month called the invasion “horrifying” and a “tragedy” for which Putin is “to blame,” before wondering how the U.S. should respond.

Fox News’ drive to cast President Biden as a job-killing socialist took a hit on Friday when the January jobs report revealed the economy has added 467,000 jobs since the start of the year, despite Covid-19 cases spiking as the Omicron variant continues to spread.
“We created 467,000 jobs in January,” Biden tweeted. “That’s more than 6.6 million jobs since I took office. 2021 was the greatest year of job creation under any president in history.”
The numbers were surprising, as economists forecasted growth to dip from the 199,000 jobs created in December to around 150,000 for January.

Larry Kudlow’s debut on Fox Business Network on Tuesday has generated a lot of attention, and most of it not good due to his expletive-filled big mouth.
“Earlier on Fox News Channel, I made some comments about that clip, you might have read about it, if not you could Google it,” the ex-director of Donald Trump’s National Economic Council said this afternoon early in his new show. Those comments, to put it mildly, arose from a hot-mic reaction by the former financial analyst to Vice President Kamala Harris’ claims in an Axios interview that the new administration was “starting from scratch” on the coronavirus vaccine rollout.
Appearing on Fnc’s America Reports to promote his new self-titled show, which will air weekdays at 4 p.m. Et, Kudlow was heard chanting “Bullsh*t! Bullsh*t! Bullsh*t!” as the clip of Harris played. The show co-hosted by Sandra Smith...

Appearing on Fnc’s America Reports to promote his new self-titled show, which will air weekdays at 4 p.m. Et, Kudlow was heard chanting “Bullsh*t! Bullsh*t! Bullsh*t!” as the clip of Harris played. The show co-hosted by Sandra Smith...

When Kayleigh McEnany appeared on Stuart Varney’s Fox Business show on Friday, in which she again refused to say that Donald Trump lost the election, she was identified not as the White House press secretary but as “Trump 2020 campaign senior adviser.”
A day earlier, when she was appearing on Fox & Friends, she was asked whether President-elect Joe Biden would receive access to daily intelligence briefings. “That would be a question more for the White House,” McEnany said.
The person at the White House in charge of answering that question is, in fact, her.
In the final week before the election, many in the media noticed when McEnany took on a dual role as press secretary, in which she is paid a $183,000 government salary, and in a capacity as a volunteer spokesperson for the campaign.
It’s an unusual situation but not necessarily in violation of government ethics laws, as...

On Thursday, the president continued his post-Walter Reed call-in interview tour with Trump-friendly hosts who offer no pushback to his lies, attacks and boasts.
Today’s stooge, Fox Business’ Stuart Varney, allowed Trump to ramble for most of the 42-minute interview, making sure that when he did interject it was only to toss the president one softball question after another.
Here’s a rundown of some of the wild things the president said:
Trump attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying, “She has a lot of mental problems.”

Tuesday marked the 25th anniversary of Maria Bartiromo becoming the first reporter to broadcast from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and Fox News and Fox Business Network carried her virtual NYSE bell-ringing in simulcast.
She explained, at the time, there were “a handful of people who didn’t want me there, but the truth is, is the majority of people were so supportive and so wonderful to me.”
Bartiromo, who worked for CNBC at the time, explained to her Fox News colleagues that there is “so much camaraderie on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange” — which made it hard for her to break in. They became “like family,” in the end, she told Sandra Smith.

Fox Business Network’s Stuart Varney — not often a critic of the current administration by any means — wasn’t thrilled to see Vice President Mike Pence touring a hospital Tuesday with no protective mask on, defying the hospital’s policy.
“It does not help when public officials ignore their own rules like Vice President Mike Pence at the Mayo Clinic yesterday,” he told viewers Wednesday. “He should have worn a mask. He didn’t. We should all obey the rules coming out this week.”
Varney, who has criticized what he’s seen as public insults to President Donald Trump and has insisted Trump “exaggerates and spins” but doesn’t lie, was doing a segment on carefulness around re-opening the economy as temperatures rise.

Trish Regan, who gained notice on Fox Business Network for a primetime program that developed a specialty for heated political talk, is leaving the network, just days after the show was removed from its schedule.
Regan’s show was taken off the air earlier this month in a bid to devote more newsgathering staff to coronavirus coverage. Several other programs have been trimmed as well, but Regan had captured attention for a vociferous segment that aired earlier in March suggesting liberals were overstating the effects of the spread of coronavirus to discredit President Donald Trump. A graphic that accompanied one segment that aired read “Coronavirus Impeachment Scam.”
“Fox Business has parted ways with Trish Regan – we thank her for her contributions to the network over the years and wish her continued success in her future endeavors,” the network said in a statement. “We will continue our reduced live primetime schedule...

Fox Business Network plans to trim two more hours of its daily programming schedule, the latest in a series of maneuvers by news organizations amid an intense cycle related to the coronavirus outbreak.
The Fox Corporation-owned outlet will temporarily cease production of two programs – “Fbn am” at 5 a.m. and “Bulls & Bears” at 5 p.m. – while moving one of its highest-rated shows, “Lou Dobbs Tonight” to the 5 p.m. hour. A repeat of Dobbs’ daily show will air instead at 7 p.m. The interim Fox Business schedule will run from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fox Business previously suspended two primetime shows, “Trish Regan Primetime” and “Kennedy,” citing a desire to emphasize coverage of the current news cycle.
“While Fbn will remain committed to delivering up to the minute breaking business news and analysis, our first priority is the health and safety of our employees,” said Lauren Petterson, president of Fox Business Network,...

A Fox Business channel guest on Monday laid a ton of uninterrupted Dear Leader-esque praise of the president’s handling of the coronavirus crisis that, even for the Trump-friendly station, needs to be heard to be believed.
While responding to a question about whether the president will take further action in restricting Americans’ “freedom of movement and association,” guest Doug Wead, a former special assistant to former president George H.W.

Fox Business Network said it would scrap most of its primetime schedule by putting two of its programs on hiatus “until further notice” in order to staff coverage of the coronavirus crisis elsewhere within Fox News Media.
The network said in a statement that its 8 p.m. hour, “Trish Regan Primetime,” and 9 p.m. hour, “Kennedy,” would be replaced by long form programming.
“Due to the demands of the evolving pandemic crisis coverage, we are deploying all resources from both shows for staffing needs during critical market hours,” the network’s statement said.
Regan, who hosts a show that tends to focus on the political, has generated some criticism in recent days for hosting segments suggesting that liberals were overstating the effects of the spread of coronavirus to discredit President Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump has often been accused of not being all that interested in reading. But today’s tweetstorm puts the lie to that notion, as there are two book reviews of new titles.
Rich Lowry’s The Case For Nationalism and Donald Trump Jr.’s Triggered were both reviewed by the Commander-in-Tweet. Lowry has “a very important book,” while Don Jr.’s work “is really good.” For his son, the President added, “He, along with many of us, was very unfairly treated. But we all fight back, and we always win!”
The President spent the rest of his morning retweeting a few TV excerpts that support him, including a long string from Fox’s Stuart Varney.
We’ll update as more communications roll in. The tweetstorm so far:
95% Approval Rating in the Republican Party. Thank you! #Maga #KAG2020

Viewers of Fox Business Network will notice something different about Maria Bartiromo’s program on Monday morning. The anchor will be the same, but the screen around her won’t.
The cable network has reworked its graphics, which will appear tomorrow for the first time, around its programs – all part of an effort to provide viewers who can already get stock prices on their mobile devices with a more concise presentation of market data, analysis and headlines. Fox Business is also launching a revamped website and mobile app, while kicking off an ad campaign and a new network slogan, “Invested In You.”
The goal is to remind viewers – and potential advertisers – that Fox Business Network tackles more than just the stock market, says Bartiromo in an interview. “Most people don’t day trade. Most people are not looking at the ticker tape,” she says. “At the end of the day,...

At twelve years old, Maria Åkerblom heard the voice of an angel. It came in a dream and she spoke its words to those around her as though in a trance. She became a traveling sensation as soon as the pious caught on, going city to city to tell God-fearing Finnish people that salvation was real. Eventually she grew into an adult with a flock of believers in tow—each devout “child” selling his/her possessions to donate their earnings to the cause. The sect became more and more insulated until abuse ran rampant and crimes led back to their door. And through it all she held tightly to her truth with many never wavering in their fealty. Their purpose relied on Maria’s sanity, so to them she was.

Joe Scarborough ridiculed Fox Business host Stuart Varney on Tuesday’s “Morning Joe” over Varney’s insistence that President Trump “exaggerates and spins,” but doesn’t lie.
“This is like a comical version of ‘1984,’ if they decided to do ‘1984: The Comedy,'” said Scarborough. “Talk about doublespeak …”
Scarborough was reacting to a Friday interview between Varney and Joe Walsh, the former Tea Party congressman now challenging Trump’s re-election bid in the Republican primary. When Walsh, the interviewee, asked Varney, the interviewer, if he believed Trump has ever lied, Varney said “no.”

Stuart Varney has seen many things during his nearly four decades as a business journalist. But Wednesday’s stock-market moves made even him take pause.
“I’ve seen volatility before, and this is quite extreme,” he says, after having wrapped a broadcast during which the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 700 points. “There’s no question about it.”
The Fox Business Network anchor had to keep things moving during three commercial-free hours Wednesday as the network covered unrest in China and a market plunge. CNBC also scrambled to cover the event, ditching commercial breaks starting just before 11 a.m., then returning to normal broadcast just before noon. Fox Business stopped running ads between 9:20 a.m. and 12:24 p.m.

Approximately 20 advertisers of various stripes and spending have requested their commercials not appear in the program, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” in the wake of remarks Carlson made last week suggesting immigration made the United States “dirtier.” Carlson on Monday reiterated his feelings on the matter, noting he would not be threatened by people who wanted to block him from expressing his opinion. “It’s a tactic, a well-worn one.

A group of advertisers say they are pulling their commercials from Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson’s 8 p.m. program, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” after remarks he made last week about immigration.
The passel of sponsors includes SmileDirectClub, Nautilus Inc.’s Bowflex, Ancestry.com, NerdWallet, Indeed.com and Pacific Life Insurance.
Carlson sparked the controversy during last Thursday’s broadcast, noting that he felt immigration was responsible for making the United States “dirtier.” On his broadcast Monday, Carlson said he would not be threatened by the threat of sponsors backing out of his show. “The enforcers scream ‘Racist!’ on Twitter until everybody gets intimidated and changes the subject to the Russia investigation or some other distraction. It’s a tactic, a well-worn one. Nobody thinks it’s real. And it won’t work with this show,” he said. “We’re not intimidated. We plan to try to say what’s true until the last day.

“In the last hour one of our guests, Congressman Louie Gohmert, for some reason went out of his way to bring up George Soros and made unsubstantiated and false allegations against him,” Varney said after the segment concluded. “I want to make clear those views are not shared by me, this program or anyone at Fox Business.”
In the segment, Gohmert suggested that Soros was not living up to his Jewish faith because of his frequent criticism of Israel.

Three of the broadcast networks — ABC, CBS and NBC — are ditching their primetime lineups tonight to offer live coverage of the midterm election.
This is kind of wall-to-wall coverage the networks usually reserve for the race for the White House. But the 2018 election cycle has attracted intense interest among voters and pundits who see the election as a referendum on Donald Trump’s presidency.
Democrats are hoping for a “blue wave” of angry voters to wash over the ballot boxes, and sweep the party into control of the House of Representatives. The Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings, and Trump’s recent attacks on the Central American migrants walking to the U.S. border, appear to have activated the Gop’s base.

After opening Last Week Tonight with a quick nod to Melania Trump’s cheap “I Really Don’t Care Do U?” Jacket, aka “Coatus Flotus,” John Oliver immediately dove into a look at her husband, President Donald Trump, aka “the abusive father America will be talking about in therapy for the next 40 years.”
This week we saw continued outrage over his zero tolerance policy causing children to be separated from their children at the border.
A policy Trump insisted repeatedly last week he had no power to change.
And then he changed it.
“Which is a little strange because he usually claims he can do things and then doesn’t do them, like draining the swamp, locking up Hillary, or attending Tiffany’s Sweet 16,” Oliver joked.
Unfortunately that exec order has some significant hitches because, while families will now not be separated, that’s because they’ll be detained together.
