Top Senate Republican John Thune called today’s presentation by the House impeachment managers “very effective” against Trump but a Fox News panel whined that it was more an effort to “enrage” against Trump than convict him.

Today, House impeachment managers are presenting their case to convict Donald Trump. We've got it live streaming after the jump.

Remember Dan Bongino’s $15 million defamation lawsuit against the Daily Beast that got tossed as meritless? Ellen wrote that Bongino would “probably have to pay the other side’s court costs and legal fees too.” Yesterday, a federal magistrate in Florida handed Fox News contributor Bongino the bill.

Yes, Fox News Primetime covered the impeachment trial but you'd think there would be more important things to discuss than this. On the other hand, nothing is ever more important on Fox than demonizing and grievance. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. 

The Sean Hannity/Laura Ingraham/Trump impeachment lawyers “defense” tactic of pointing fingers at Democrats just happened to work its way into the supposedly objective analysis of Fox anchor Shannon Bream today.

Fox’s John Roberts made some surprising (for Fox) comments about the Democrats’ presentation on Day One of the Trump impeachment trial. Anchor Bret Baier somewhat agreed.

The oral arguments will probably not begin until tomorrow but today is still historic.

Unfortunately for Sean Hannity, his dishonest claim that Republicans know nothing about QAnon was shredded by CNN’s Brianna Keilar who “rolled the tape” and used Hannity’s own words against him.

I’m not an expert on First Amendment protections but I know BS when I see it and this statement from Fox is full of it: “If the First Amendment means anything, it means that Fox cannot be held liable for fairly reporting and commenting on competing allegations in a hotly contested and actively litigated election. We are proud of our election coverage which stands in the highest tradition of American journalism.”

Last week’s winner of the Outrageous Fox Quote of the Week poll was a FoxNews.com headline going above and beyond the call of duty to promote the “Biden-is-Bad-Catholic” meme.
