Fox News host Laura Ingraham reacted to teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg winning Time magazine's Person of the Year by declaring her own awards.

Thunberg, 16, won the Time honor for her global campaigning work to raise awareness of the urgency of tackling the climate change threat and the lack of action by governments. She founded the influential "school strike for the climate" campaign.

"My Persons of the Year: The House Intel Committee Members led by Devin Nunes; the Hong Kong freedom protesters; and the man Democrat's can't beat: Donald Trump," tweeted Ingraham on Wednesday morning.

"Fox News host unjustifiably claims that female reporters sleep with sources ‘all the time’"

Spoiler

Controversy has brewed for weeks over the portrayal of journalist Kathy Scruggs in Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film, “Richard Jewell,” which characterizes the late Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter as trading sex for scoops.

But according to Fox News host Jesse Watters, it’s all much ado about nothing, because it’s a regular occurrence both in Hollywood and in real life.

“This happens all the time,” he said Wednesday on “The Five,” a Fox talk show. “Ali Watkins was a reporter for many, many years at many distinguished publications. She slept with one of her sources, allegedly, for four years and broke a lot of scoops according to this Politico report here.”

Having provided that example — of a 27-year-old New York Times reporter who, records seized by federal investigators revealed, had a relationship with a senior Senate Intelligence Committee aide — Watters insisted it’s something that “happens a lot.”

His comments were condemned by some as sexist, an accusation he has faced in the past.

“This is a really disgusting, baseless charge, and one Fox should denounce for the sake of its own female reporters,” conservative CNN host S.E. Cupp wrote on Twitter.

In April 2017, less than a week after Bill O’Reilly’s ouster from Fox amid sexual harassment allegations, Watters made what was widely viewed as a dirty joke about Ivanka Trump. After saying of the president’s daughter, “I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone,” Watters spent several days off the air for what he called a family vacation.

On Wednesday, initial criticism of Watters’s remarks about female journalists came from a co-host seated beside him.

“I do have a problem with what you said,” liberal commentator Juan Williams told Watters. “I don’t think that most women reporters — ”

“I don’t say most women reporters,” Watters interjected. “Male reporters could do it, too. I’m just saying, it happens. I’m saying it’s happened many times in the past.”

There is no evidence to suggest that Scruggs had a sexual relationship with her sources, and her former colleagues have bristled at the suggestion, according to a Journal-Constitution story recounting her career and challenging her depiction in “Richard Jewell.”

“My concern is they’re going to turn her into some sort of femme fatale who would do anything to get a story,” former reporter Ron Martz, who is also portrayed in the film, told the newspaper.

He added, “If they had actually contacted me it might have ruined their idea of what they wanted the story to be.”

The movie is based on the story of the eponymous security guard who discovered a bomb at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Initially hailed a hero, Jewell spent three days in the spotlight before Scruggs broke the news that the FBI considered him a top suspect.

An FBI investigation cleared him within months, but the security guard’s and the reporter’s lives were derailed by the story and lengthy legal battle that followed.

Neither is alive to see the way they are portrayed in the new film. Scruggs died in 2001 at 42 years old, followed by Jewell in 2007 at 44.

"Trump rips Fox News for interviews with Comey, Schiff"

Spoiler

President Donald Trump on Saturday lit into Fox News’ decision to interview two of his politico foes — James Comey and Rep. Adam Schiff — as an attempt to be “politically correct.”

“Hard to believe that @FoxNews will be interviewing sleazebag & totally discredited former FBI Director James Comey, & also corrupt politician Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff,” Trump tweeted. “Fox is trying sooo hard to be politically correct, and yet they were totally shut out from the failed Dem debates!”

In a subsequent tweet, Trump likened the conservative cable network to “Commiecast MSNBC” and “Fake News CNN,” saying they’d “die together as other outlets take their place."

Fox announced this week that the former FBI director and House Intelligence Committee chairman would sit for separate interviews with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday."

Trump, who often calls and tunes into Fox News shows, has recently disparaged the network for occasionally critical coverage of his presidency, encouraging supporters to seek out alternatives and tweeting support for One America News Network, a lesser-known conservative network.

Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, recently traveled to Ukraine accompanied by the newer pro-Trump outlet.

Some of Fox News' hosts and analysts have pushed back on the president’s attacks, while others, including Shep Smith, have left the network following divisions over its largely pro-Trump coverage. Trump singled out Smith on Saturday, asking, "How's Shep doing?"

The president’s criticism comes after a week that saw the Justice Department’s top watchdog conclude that the FBI’s investigation into Russian influence on his campaign was justified and House Democrats approved articles of impeachment against him.

Comey, who was dismissed by Trump in May 2017, took to Twitter on Monday to tout FBI Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s findings, saying the president's attacks on him and investigators were “all lies.”

“No treason. No spying on the campaign. No tapping Trumps wires,” Comey wrote. “It was just good people trying to protect America.”

The Comey and Schiff interviews will air on local Fox stations from 9 a.m. Sunday.

Sean, I've got some surprising news for you: Trump has been running the state for three years now...

 

[Alisamer]

Every screen cap I've seen of Hannity makes him look like he's desperately, frantically confused. And a bit terrified. Like someone's dropped him into the cockpit of a jet and said "Here, you fly this thing. It's all on you if we crash!"

Probably not unlike Trump when he realized he was going to have to actually be president instead of getting his own show so he could spend the next four years criticizing Hillary Clinton for every single thing she did, while profiting from it.

Disney Drops Fox Name, Will Rebrand as 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures

Quote

The mouse has officially killed the fox.

In a move at once unsurprising and highly symbolic, the Walt Disney Company is dropping the “Fox” brand from the 21st Century Fox assets it acquired last March, Variety has learned. The 20th Century Fox film studio will become 20th Century Studios, and Fox Searchlight Pictures will become simply Searchlight Pictures. 

On the TV side, however, no final decisions have been made about adjusting the monikers of production units 20th Century Fox Television and Fox 21 Television Studios. Discussions about a possible name change are underway, but no consensus has emerged, according to a source close to the situation. 

Disney has already started the process to phase out the Fox name: Email addresses have changed for Searchlight staffers, with the fox.com address replaced with a searchlightpictures.com address. On the poster for Searchlight’s next film “Downhill,” with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell, the credits begin with “Searchlight Pictures Presents.” The film will be the first Searchlight release to debut with the new logo. “Call of the Wild,” an upcoming family film, will be released under the 20th Century banner, sans Fox.

Those logos won’t be dramatically altered, just updated. The most notable change is that the word “Fox” has been removed from the logo marks. Otherwise, the signature elements — swirling klieg lights, monolith, triumphal fanfare — will remain the same.

Insiders characterize the change as rather inevitable. Disney’s $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox last March included the 20th Century Fox film and TV studios, but not the Fox broadcast network or Fox News, which remained part of Fox Corp. under CEO Lachlan Murdoch. That automatically injected a level of brand confusion at odds with the highly differentiated divisions within Disney’s ranks, and Fox Corp. has no reason to change its name.

The original 20th Century Fox was formed in a merger in 1935 between Twentieth Century Pictures and Fox Film Corporation. The company’s art deco searchlight logo and rousing theme song became an iconic Hollywood brand, and the studio released some of the most beloved and successful movies in Hollywood history, including “Avatar,” “Titanic,” “Home Alone,” “Die Hard,” “Alien,” “Star Wars: A New Hope,” and “Planet of the Apes.”

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. bought 20th Century Fox in the mid-1980s, along with a suite of American television stations, which allowed Murdoch to create the Fox TV network. Fox’s TV programming set itself apart with a slate of irreverent and provocative shows that deliberately pushed the envelope of what was possible on broadcast television. Murdoch further expanded the Fox brand with the 1996 launch of Fox News, which established a (highly lucrative) reputation for conservative partisanship; by the time of Disney’s acquisition, Fox News had also weathered multiple sexual misconduct scandals.

All of it added up to specific associations with the word “Fox” in the media landscape that proved to be anathema to Disney’s scrupulously maintained family friendly brand.

As one insider puts it, “I think the Fox name means Murdoch, and that is toxic.”

"The Fox-Trump monopoly, in one graph"

Spoiler

Mediaite in 2017 accorded the idiotic morning show “Fox & Friends” the top slot in its ranking of the most influential figures in U.S. media. “The President of the United States regularly starts his day watching Fox & Friends and then tweets about whatever they cover, and however, they cover it,” noted the site in its write-up.

As if to endorse Mediaite’s logic, President Trump tweeted his agreement:

In 2019, Mediaite placed “Fox & Friends” in the 10th slot, and what an ill-considered decision that was!

A study published Sunday by Matt Gertz of Media Matters for America shows that in 2019, Trump live-tweeted in response to content on “Fox & Friends” at least 206 times, “his highest total of any show by a factor of more than three.”

A scan of those tweets explains why the president so enjoys the work of co-hosts Brian Kilmeade, Steve Doocy and Ainsley Earhardt. Some examples:

The fawning comments; the attacks on Trump’s enemies; the media-bashing; the contentions that Trump is already among the greatest of U.S. presidents — all of it has fueled an almost comically lopsided tally in Trump’s TV live-tweeting. Have a look at the networks that get attention via @realdonaldtrump:

If Fox News executives ever had any doubts about the loyalties of their core audience, they surely have abandoned them by now. Via his tweets and his Fox News interviews — not to mention those of his aides — Trump has all but merged himself with the network, along with his followers. Distinctions between Trump nation and Fox nation are withering, as The Post’s Philip Bump pointed out last October:

With his more than 71 million followers, Trump’s promotional tweets confer considerable commercial advantage on Fox News, which ruled the cable-news ratings long before he became president. Though Trump cannot abuse his power to target certain news outlets for enforcement activity or boot certain reporters from the White House grounds for their tough questions, he can watch and tweet whatever cable-news programming strikes his fancy. That’s his First Amendment right, a right he’s deploying to wall himself off from dissent and bathe in sycophancy that puts the country at risk.

"Hannity’s ugly meltdown at Romney: Wanting the truth is ‘Trump hatred’"

Spoiler

It was inevitable that the Cult of Trump would ultimately settle here. Any Republican who dares to acknowledge the relevance of facts outside the disinformation bubble that President Trump and his propagandists have constructed in his defense — facts they are unable to control — can be driven only by Trump “hatred.”

Fox News’s Sean Hannity staged a spectacular meltdown at Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Tuesday night, over Romney’s desire to hear testimony from John Bolton, the former national security adviser whose forthcoming book relates that Trump didn’t want to release nearly $400 million in military aid to Ukraine until its president carried out Trump’s political bidding.

Hannity’s performance illustrates how preposterously weak Trump’s defenses have become, and how heavily they depend on insulating Trump’s extraordinary corruption, and the lies justifying it, from contrary facts and legitimate outside scrutiny.

Notably, this comes after Sen. Martha McSally of Arizona became a Trump-movement hero for staging her own ugly outburst at a reporter who politely asked whether she wanted to hear new witnesses and evidence at Trump’s impeachment trial.

If Hannity seemed frantic, it’s because it’s now possible four GOP senators will vote to open up the proceedings. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reportedly doesn’t have the 51 GOP votes he needs to block this — for now, anyway.

Romney has been privately trying to persuade fellow Republicans to hear from Bolton, arguing that Bolton appears to have “relevant information." This led Hannity to unload on the senator. Watch here:

“All I see, with all due respect Mitt Romney, is your personal hatred for Donald Trump,” Hannity raged, noting that the Senate should not do what the House failed to do — hear from Bolton and others.

Of course, the House failed to do this because Trump blocked witnesses and documents from the House impeachment inquiry, which is why Bolton refused to appear. Since then, Bolton has volunteered to testify to the Senate if called.

What this really means is that, if GOP senators vote against hearing new information, they’ll be carrying Trump’s coverup through to completion. This is what Hannity is actually raging at Romney for failing to facilitate.

Trump himself is demanding that GOP senators carry his coverup through to completion. He just went on a massive Twitter tirade at Bolton, saying this:

This is misdirection: In reality, Bolton privately told Trump directly to his face in August that he objected to Trump’s freezing of military aid. In his new book, he reportedly elaborates on that conversation by detailing that Trump linked the aid directly to the sham investigation of Joe Biden he wanted Ukraine to announce.

This is one of the conversations — there are surely others — that Trump does not want Bolton to recount under oath. He also does not want the Senate to hear from acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, who was in the middle of freezing the aid at Trump’s direction.

And so, Trump is demanding precisely what Hannity is demanding: Trump must be acquitted while simultaneously being allowed to exclude the testimony — to the House inquiry and to the Senate trial — of those who directly interacted with him over one of the most corrupt acts at the center of this whole saga.

Thus, they are explicitly demanding a rigged trial, because a real one is too risky. Indeed, this is precisely why McConnell is urging GOP senators to oppose witnesses — because opening up the trial threatens additional, unpredictable revelations.

But a rigged trial can only produce a sham acquittal.

Since I couldn't care less about the super bowl and despise Faux, I didn't watch Shamity's blow job of an interview with Twitler. Here are some lowlights:

Quote

Hannity gives Trump a 2020 insult trial run in pre-Super Bowl interview

It was hours before the Super Bowl, but Sean Hannity was throwing easy- to-catch passes to President Trump in their pregame Fox News interview.

After Trump rehashed his criticisms of the impeachment process and pledged not to delay this week’s State of the Union address, Hannity began a “lightning round,” which amounted to the host throwing out names of Democrats and the president riffing on each. From there, the televised interview turned into a high-viewership trial run for Trump’s general election insults.

Some answers trod familiar ground: “He’s sleepy, Sleepy Joe” and “Where’s Hunter?”

Others drew on a candidate’s biography. When Hannity mentioned Sanders, Trump replied: “I think of communism when I think of Bernie. Now you could say socialist, but didn’t he get married in Moscow? And that’s wonderful; Moscow is wonderful.”

Hannity replied with a rare fact check in a typically deferential interview: “Might have been his honeymoon.”

For Warren, Trump had “fairy tale” and for Mike Bloomberg, “very little” — followed by a factually unsupported digression about the former New York mayor asking for a box to stand on during the debate.

And though the interview was short, Hannity found time for a greatest hit: “Hillary,” he said, omitting a last name.

“I think of emails,” Trump replied.

When Hannity asked whether Trump preferred any one candidate to face in the 2020 election, the president said, simply: “I mean I’m watching, and I have little nicknames for all of them.”

“I’m sure they love your nicknames,” Hannity replied.

“But they’re accurate,” Trump said. “I mean, they’re very accurate.”

"In its own document, Fox News rips Fox News host Sean Hannity"

Quote

Each night, Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity engage in some shallow blather during the “handoff” between their ratings-killing programs. In Thursday night’s version, Hannity told Carlson, “You know the deep-state story is even getting bigger. There’s a whole new one developing. I’ll tell you about it privately.”

Cute, Hannity.

Just what could this “new” deep-state story be? A clue emerged from a strange sequence of events on Twitter. Marcus DiPaola, who formerly worked at Fox News, posted some tweets about his experience with the network, as well as the front page of an interesting internal document:

That’s the title page of a dossier from the so-called Brain Room of Fox News, a long-standing research hive at the network. The full Ukrainian report, obtained by the Erik Wemple Blog, is a document of great candor and thoroughness, 162 pages of events and statements and indictments and hearings that detail every last wrinkle in the Trump-Ukraine story. Its timeline starts in February 2014 — when former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fled Kyiv for Russia — and concludes in December 2019 — when Trump declared that his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, would write up a report about the findings of his Ukrainian investigation. “I hear he has found plenty,” said the president.

The Brain Room report bears the name of Bryan Murphy, a senior political affairs specialist at Fox News. It also bears this withering assessment of John Solomon, former opinion contributor for the Hill who is responsible for setting in motion faulty story lines regarding Ukraine: “John Solomon played an indispensable role in the collection and domestic publication of elements of this disinformation campaign.” Another part of the document provides this assessment of Solomon: “Focus on stories from disinformation campaign, non-disclosure of conflicts, use of unreliable sources, publishing false and misleading stories, misrepresentation of sources, and opaque coordination with involved parties.”

That says it all. Even as it levels that critique, the Brain Room document discloses that Solomon is a “Fox News contributor.” Indeed, though Solomon appeared as a guest frequently on “Hannity” throughout the Ukraine story, he left the Hill in fall 2019 and was hired as a contributor at Fox News in October.

Not only does the research paper pummel Solomon, it cites a statistic that Solomon, over six months in 2019, “published 45 columns aimed at discrediting the Russia investigation, 12 of which focused primarily on Ukraine." Where did that statistic come from?

Media Matters for America! Yes, Media Matters for America, the organization essentially built to take down Fox News. Media Matters for America, the organization routinely slammed on Fox News’s air. Media Matters for America, the organization that essentially forced Glenn Beck from Fox News.

It’s a stunning juxtaposition — one that speaks to the integrity of the Brain Room report. Other faces of the Ukraine issue that surface in the report include Giuliani, the ringleader of Trump’s effort to secure an announcement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of an investigation into the Bidens, who is described as having: “High susceptibility to disinformation” from key Ukrainian actors, according to the document. Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing, a Trump-supporting husband-and-wife legal team, receive this evaluation: “Non-disclosure of financial motives and representation of [Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro] Firtash while spreading false and misleading stories.”

Note: Giuliani, diGenova and Toensing appeared on “Hannity” with regularity to take the president’s side on Ukraine. All that explains, perhaps, why Hannity is making noises about a “new” deep state.

Though Fox News isn’t exactly forthcoming about its internal operations, the Brain Room isn’t a state secret. Occasionally network hosts will reference its work, as did Jesse Watters last fall, when he saw a Washington Post headline that he didn’t believe was real: “When I saw the headline afterwards, I forwarded it to our Brain Room because I thought it was an Onion” story, said Watters. There’s a great reverence among employees for the work of the room, as reflected in this comment from former host Kimberly Guilfoyle in June 2017: “Here are some doughnut facts from our Brain Room, so [they] must be true.”

A 2011 story in Rolling Stone quoted a network insider as alleging that the Brain Room was where "the evil resides.” And a former network executive told Gabriel Sherman — for his biography of late Fox News chief Roger Ailes — that the room had a “Nixonian” air. That said, Sherman wrote that the “mystique” of the Brain Room faded over time as staffers realized that it was a professional operation designed to fact-check the news. It’s the Brain Room, for example, that feeds all those contextual facts that viewers see on their screens during congressional hearings and other political events.

There’s no absence of context in the Brain Room’s Ukraine magnum opus. It has everything, including key revelations and charges against Hannity. Here’s the timeline’s entry for March 26, 2019:

Melinda Haring, the editor of the UkraineAlert blog at the Atlantic Council and a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, writes in the Washington Post: “The mechanics of the information operation that Poroshenko’s minions pulled off are obvious. Lutsenko used Solomon to get to Hannity to get to Trump, whose Twitter feed set thousands chattering about nonexistent collusion… If a bunch of obscure foreigners few Americans have ever heard of can play Trump so easily, and so obviously, what’s to stop others from doing the same?”

(387) David Holmes, Political Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, later said, “The barrage of allegations directed at Ambassador Yovanovitch, a career ambassador, is unlike any anything I have seen in my professional career.” (388)

Here’s another, absolutely devastating entry:

September 26, 2019: John Solomon, Toensing, and diGenova all appear on Hannity again to discuss Shokin’s affidavit, filed at the request of Firtash’s attorneys. At no time during the program does Hannity, Toensing, and diGenova mention who requested the statement nor do they discuss that they are Firtash’s attorneys. Solomon also doesn’t mention that he shares attorneys with Firtash. diGenova says “we’ve known from the very beginning that Mr. Shokin was not a corrupt prosecutor.” (856) Later that night, President Trump tweets a clip of diGenova from Hannity. (857)

More: In an entry for Oct. 9, 2019, the Brain Room document notes that Andriy Derkach, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, had made a specific allegation regarding corruption by former vice president Joe Biden. The Kyiv Post, notes the Brain Room report, called the charge “dubious.” “Hours later, Giuliani appeared on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News and parroted Derkach’s claim. (897).”

In an entry that footnotes reporting from the Erik Wemple Blog, the document even tosses shade on how Hannity introduces Solomon on his program:

May 14, 2018: The Hill’s editor-in-chief sent out a memo to staff stating that “effective immediately” John Solomon would no longer publish stories under the banner of news but instead would be an “opinion contributor.” (218) Solomon said that the choice to have his writing classified as opinion was his. During his TV appearances, Hannity has often continued to announce Solomon as an “investigative reporter” at The Hill.

What we have here is a journalistic blowout. It is a trouncing of Hannity and his treasured contributor, Solomon — written not by some mainstream media outlet or Media Matters for America, but by Fox News itself. Turns out the network is keeping its best reporting to itself.

In a statement to the Erik Wemple Blog, Mitchell Kweit, senior vice president of the Brain Room, said: “The research division of FOX News produces a briefing book for all major stories, which serves as a standing collection of extensive data on major topics for internal use by all those in editorial functions. The Ukraine briefing book is nothing more than a comprehensive chronological account of what every person involved in the Ukraine controversy was doing at any identifiable point in time, including tracking media appearances of major players who appeared on FOX News and in many other outlets. The 200 page document has thousands of data points and the vast majority have no relation to FOX News – instead it’s now being taken out of context and politicized to damage the network.”

In an interview with the Erik Wemple Blog, DiPaola commended Fox News for the separation between opinion shows and the so-called straight-news side, where he worked as a freelancer for a few months. “It did feel a lot like church and state,” he says. “They separate news from opinion pretty well.” As for the Brain Room timeline, DiPaola says, “I mean, it’s a Brain Room product, it’s meant to be unbiased. It’s evidence that Fox News Channel isn’t all bad. It’s evidence that there are honorable people working at Fox News all day.”

And it’s evidence that those honorable people understand the threat “Hannity” poses to any news organization.
