Fox & Friends saluted Texas’ lifting of its face mask mandate by visiting a crowded, maskless diner in McKinney, Texas where weekend cohost Will Cain gave appreciation to one customer who told viewers, “assess the situation and think for yourself, like Rush Limbaugh wanted us to do.”

Fox paused its whining about Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head to whine about the passage of President Biden’s big COVID relief bill, the American Rescue Plan, without a moment of respect for the fact that it has broad public support among Republicans as well as Democrats.

Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric about Covid 19 (“China virus” or, worse, “Kung Flu”) appears to have "legitimized”  a surge in hate crimes against Asian-Americans. But not so for top Trump supporter, Laura Ingraham, who brought in a Trump-supporting Asian-American to help run defense by blaming African-Americans.

Just as Florida’s Trumpy Gov. Ron DeSantis gets ready for a re-election effort and possibly a presidential run, Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade made a slobbering, mask-free, social-distance-free visit with DeSantis' family and staff and helped whitewash his COVID vaccine corruption.

Tucker Carlson got the John Oliver treatment Sunday night and it was pure perfection. Oliver perfectly captured Carlson’s dishonesty and his “liberals are the real racists” game.

Russell Vought’s claim that the Trump administration didn’t have an opportunity to “study the evidence and present it to court” about the supposedly stolen presidential election was the deserving winner of last week's Outrageous Fox Quote of the Week Poll, though I will admit I thought Jesse Watters’ smear that Chris Hayes “would have been a traitor” in the Revolutionary War was a sure bet.

Tucker Carlson’s anti-Americanism took another sickening turn Friday night as he praised QAnon supporters as “gentle people” who “like the country,” and blatantly suggested they are more patriotic than Black Lives Matter supporters.

Donald Trump was apparently so triggered by Karl Rove’s editorials criticizing him and his CPAC speech that he issued a press release whining about Rove and telling Fox to “get rid of” him.

Last week, Lachlan Murdoch acknowledged out loud that Fox is a political operation, thus putting the lie to the network’s claim to be a news operation. But I thought it was just as significant that he characterized the network as “center-right” when it has become a bastion of extremism.

CNN’s Brianna Keilar put together another brutal “Roll the Tape” segment, this time targeting Tucker Carlson and his “culture war cuisine.”
