Democratic strategist Richard Goodstein rankled Fox News host Harris Faulkner on Monday by repeatedly calling out lies about the 2020 election that are being promoted by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

The confrontation came as Faulkner was hosting a segment to criticize Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis after he mistakenly said that a death at a Pride event over the weekend was a terrorist attack.

Fox News host Dan Bongino has returned to posting on Twitter after telling his supporters in January of this year that he would be leaving and never returning to the "anti-American" social platform after giving it up for Parler, the right-wing alternative where Bongino has claimed to be an investor.

Bongino, a rising conservative media heavyweight, even told Twitter to "fuck off" while pledging he would never return to the popular social media site. "I'll make my last post, my one final 'Fuck you' to Twitter — and you can print that, by the way — tomorrow," the firebrand told The Wrap back in January.

NBC host Chuck Todd on Sunday disputed Republican strategist Brad Todd after he claimed that outrage over critical race theory is a grassroots uprising among parents.

"You mention critical race theory," Brad Todd said. "This is a parent-led backlash at the grassroots level."

Jennifer Merciaca, an expert on political rhetoric, explained how Fox News host Tucker Carlson taps into the fearful emotions of his viewers to spread propaganda.

Merciaca, who serves as an associate professor at Texas A&M University, made the remarks while appearing on CNN with host Brian Stelter and media critic David Zurawik.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday defended lies about the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and vowed to "keep telling the truth."

During an interview with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Bartiromo presented a list of what she called the "biggest lies."

Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday called out Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for making misleading comments about a voting rights bill that he objects to.

During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Wallace asked Graham if he could support Sen. Joe Manchin's (D-WV) voting rights bill, which is a watered-down version of a measure being pushed by a majority of Democratic lawmakers.

Fox News continuously gave Donald Trump a free pass as he repeatedly caved to Vladimir Putin.

Even though Trump publicly sided with Putin after Russia's 2016 election interference, Fox still gave him a pass.

Controversial Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson returned to the topic of "cancel culture" on Thursday — and quickly undermined his own argument.

"In January, Simon &. Schuster — the gargantuan publishing house — canceled a book by a senator from Missouri, Josh Hawley, because a mob of democratic activists told them to," Carlson claimed.

On Thursday, Business Insider reported that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is no longer welcome at Fox News as his legal scandals continued to mount.

"In March, Gaetz appeared on Fox shows at least 19 times, according to an Insider review of Fox News clips, including those the congressman posted to his YouTube channel," reported Robin Bravender and Tom LoBianco. "In April, May, and so far in June? Not once. Gaetz has been 'excommunicated within the Fox News circles,' said a former Gaetz staffer who spoke to Insider anonymously in order to protect professional relationships."

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade admonished a guest on Thursday after he called President Joe Biden a "dumb bastard."

The remark came as Kilmeade was interviewing Brian Dockter, a technician who claimed to be out of work due to Biden's tax policies.

Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday criticized President Joe Biden because he "nodded" when a nearby reporter asked a question about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The so-called nod came after a reporter in a busy room asked if Biden trusts Putin.

When U.S. and Russian journalists flocked to the Villa La Grange for the summit between President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladamir Putin, they were abruptly stopped by security personnel and government officials from both countries.

According to Politico, members of the media were told to form a single file line. Ignoring the request, journalists are said to have "screamed as a Swiss official kept urging journalists and officials to be quiet." After a period of time, a total of 9 U.S. journalists and a number of Russian were allowed to enter the area of the library where both presidents were seated. Biden was accompanied by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken while Putin's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accompanied him.

Controversial election attorney Sidney Powell said on Wednesday that she has been "deplatformed" by Mailchimp, an email distribution service.
