Fox News’ Andrew Napolitano should have put to bed Trumper whining about the unfairness of the impeachment process when he told viewers Republicans “had more participation” in the Trump impeachment process than they had in Watergate or than they gave Democrats when they impeached Bill Clinton.

Newt Gingrich and Brian Kilmeade floated impeachment defense strategies for Donald Trump that depended on persuading the public that Trump developed a sudden noble concern about corruption that seems to apply to the Bidens only. UPDATED: Apparently, this is the Republicans' strategy, too.

Sean Hannity gave Senate Republicans a list of witnesses whom “we should” subpoena as well as a detailed list of questions for them during a commentary in which Hannity appointed himself Armchair General of the Trump Defense Team.

The Outrageous Fox Quote of the Week Poll is back after a hiatus which I spent at dance camp and hosting my nephew for about a week afterward. But now I’m rested up enough to give a big round of raspberries to Mark Levin, the runaway winner of our last poll. Details and new nominees after the jump.

As we get ready for the impeachment hearings set to begin Wednesday morning, a subset issue I'll be keeping in mind is the role of Sean Hannity in Trump’s bribery/extortion scheme with Ukraine. As CNN host Brian Stelter put it yesterday, the testimony we have seen so far has highlighted Hannity’s role as one of Trump’s “shadow foreign policy advisers.”

Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham has the kind of career history that most Americans would probably consider improper for a taxpayer-funded position in the White House. But Fox News host Howard Kurtz seems to think the media should ignore those unflattering details the same way he did.

During a lapdog interview with Fox News’ Howard Kurtz, White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham doubled down on her recent affirmation that Never Trump Republicans are indeed “human scum” because “my job … is to support the president.”

Although Fox News hosts and guests have reportedly been told not to name the whistleblower whose complaint was the genesis for the Trump impeachment inquiry, the personalities have brazenly flouted the mandate. One guest named the person on the air.

Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean did a weather report outside the studio where she gushed over men in Trump t-shirts, each holding large, complimentary paintings of Trump, at the front of the crowd. She seemed delighted as the crowd just happened to burst into Trump chants as she closed the report.
