Fox News host Maria Bartiromo lost her cool after attorney Alan Dershowitz praised the "great things" accomplished by President Joe Biden.

"He's done great things in Ukraine," Dershowitz told Bartiromo in a Sunday interview. "I think he has done good things on domestic policy, gotten some very good things passed."

According to JoAnne Sweeny, professor of law at the University of Louisville’s Louis D. Brandeis School of Law, the massive monetary damages awarded to the parents who lost children at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012 as part of a civil suit filed against Infowars founder Alex Jones should serve as a warning to several hosts on the Fox News network.

On Friday a jury added $45.2 million in punitive damages to the $4.1 million already awarded to parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis for the trauma Jones inflicted upon them by saying the school masacre was faked.

Fox News contributor Joe Concha on Thursday connected violent crime in New York City to the "smell of weed" in Central Park.

During a segment on Fox Business, guest host Dagan McDowell suggested there was "soaring crime" because liberal district attorneys were letting suspects go free with little or no bail requirements.

National Security Council Coordinator John Kirby pushed back against Fox News host Brian Kilmeade after he said that Al Qaeda "feels pretty good" despite its leader being killed by a drone strike.

While interviewing Kirby on Tuesday, Kilmeade downplayed the killing of terrorist mastermind Ayman Al-Zawahiri.

Reacting to reports of a schism between Donald Trump and media mogul Rupert Murdoch, reporter Tara Palmieri told CNN host Brian Stelter on Sunday that the former president is feeling "bruised" that he doesn't get praise on Fox News anymore -- if he gets mentioned at all.

With the Washington Post reporting that the House Jan. 6 hearings have put a damper on Murdoch's enthusiasm for Trump running for office again, Palmieri and GOP strategist Liz Mair had differing opinions on why Trump is on the outs with Fox.

Fox News host Bret Baier grilled Michigan candidate for governor Tudor Nixon (R) but she refused to say that former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

Just days after being endorsed by Trump, Dixon showed up on Fox News Sunday for an interview.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) refused to endorse his party's leader for a second presidential term because he said that elections are "the problem" with politics.

"You seem to suggest this week that you might not support Joe Biden," ABC host Jonathan Karl noted, "if he's the Democratic nominee for 2024. What's the bottom line? If Biden is nominated by your party, will you support him? Will you vote for a Republican?"

According to a deep dive into the deteriorating relationship between Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch, the Washington Post is reporting that the media mogul has become disenchanted with the idea of building up Trump's re-election prospects and that hosts on his Fox News network are moving on to boosting the next wave of GOP leaders who are on the rise.

As the Posts' Sarah Ellison and Jeremy Barr wrote, the marriage between the two conservatives has always been one of convenience for years -- with Trump providing Murdoch's media properties insider information and the former president depending on the conservative network to run interference for him.

One America News (OAN) was dealt another major blow when Verizon announced that it would quit carrying the far-right cable news channel on its FiOS service, effective this Saturday, July 30. This comes after OAN being dropped by AT&T’s DirecTV in April.

Journalists Jeremy W. Peters and Benjamin Mullin, in an article published by the New York Times on July 26, stresses that between Verizon and DirectTV, OAN has lost access to millions of potential viewers. DirecTV has around 15 million subscribers, while Verizon FiOS has around 3.5 million.

Christina Bobb, an attorney representing former President Donald Trump, insisted on Thursday that a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election with an alternate slate of electors was "a big fat nothing."

During an appearance on Real America's Voice, Bobb complained that her boss was being investigated instead of President Joe Biden's son Hunter.
