Fox News staffers called on the network to fire Tucker Carlson over his call to harass parents and children for wearing masks, but the highly rated host is "invincible."

Current and former employees were embarrassed and outraged when Carlson urged viewers to call child protection services on parents whose children wear masks in public, but they told The Daily Beast the top-rated prime-time host is "untouchable" and will never "suffer any repercussions" for his openly white nationalist comments or other statements that might lead to violence.

Former White House adviser Stephen Miller said on Sunday that he is suing the Biden administration to prevent Black people from having an unfair advantage over other races.

While speaking to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Miller argued that a COVID-19 relief law is unfair to white people because it allocated $5 billion to Black farmers who were denied federal aid due to discrimination.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo claimed over the weekend that China is secretly "sending" doctors and scientists and engineers across the U.S.-Mexico border.

Bartiromo made the claim during an interview with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) that aired on Sunday.

Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday challenged Sen. Bill Cassidy (R) of Louisiana over his opposition to government child care services despite the high rate of child poverty in his state.

During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Wallace noted that President Joe Biden has proposed $225 billion in spending for child care programs.

In a scorching column for the Daily Beast, former CNN contributor Wajahat Ali called out the cable news network for purging many of its political commentators at or near the end of the Donald Trump administration -- and replacing them with doctors and scientists -- and leaving former Republican Senator Rick Santorum in place despite his racist comments.

Ali, who admits that he enjoyed his time with the network despite getting four warnings about comments he made on-air, noted Santorum's comments made recently at a conservative conference where he stated that white European Christians "came [to America] and created a blank slate; we birthed a nation from nothing."

Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro on Saturday had a strange start to her Fox News program.

One day after Newsmax admitted there was "no evidence" to back up their election fraud conspiracy theories, former Trump acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney appeared on the far-right cable network to complain about mainstream media organizations.

Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday morning with host Ali Velshi, former Donald Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen said the raid on Rudy Giuliani's home and office ,where phones and computers were confiscated, could set off a domino effect of other associates of Donald Trump being implicated in corruption investigations.

On Thursday, the former New York City mayor was the subject of a raid --- ostensibly over his involvement with Ukraine -- with Cohen now claiming what we are seeing at the moment is just the tip of the iceberg of what is to come.

"You are a lawyer, Rudy Giuliani is a lawyer," host Velshi began. "You kept a lot of records that may be in some cases helped you. It certainly helped the prosecutors who went after you. I assume that there was a lot of stuff for them to find in Rudy Giuliani's office and phones."

"Well, here is my thoughts on that," Cohen replied. "They've used the Maria Yovanovitch issue in order to obtain the warrant. Now they have a treasure trove of information on Rudy's cellphones and computer, and they're going to be able to dig through all of that information."

"Rest assured, this is not about Maria Yovanovitch," he continued. "This is not just about Ukraine -- this could be about a multitude of other issues, you know, that shady Rudy has been involved with. As I always say, this is just the icing on the cake when it comes to the Southern District of New York review of what is going to be probably inside of Rudy's cellphones. He'll probably have information and contact with Bill Barr, with Jared Kushner, with Don [Trump] Jr."

"There could be issues regarding the illegal pardons that were given out. Who knows what is in there? You know who knows? The Southern District of New York and they don't play fair," he added with a rueful smile. " The funny -- the irony here is that Rudy was the one who created that playbook for the Southern District to really take this gangster tactic, you know, against individuals that they're prosecuting. They're really not prosecuting, they're convicting."

This week, progressive PAC Meidas Touch released a damning new ad going after Fox News hosts for their "poisonous" influence in radicalizing Americans to the far right.

"The lonely. The alienated. The sad, and the angry," said the narrator, over shots of heavily armed militants. "In every country torn by strife, violence, and hardship, men and women are drawn to extremist leaders promising to take on the enemies of their people. In America, some of our lost souls respond in a similar way to the call of influential voices. But instead of militant preachers or radical clerics, every single night in America, they can listen to our own angry advocates of division and conspiracy."
