When Fox gives out its year-end bonus for the biggest Donald Trump sycophant playing a news host on TV, Maria Bartiromo should be a contender. It’s a wonder she managed not to swoon during her lengthy interview with Trump that aired today.

Fox News had to acknowledge that the special election in Kansas last night – in which Democrat James Thompson came within striking distance of winning a deep red Congressional seat – was not good news for Republicans. But the “fair and balanced” network handled it with typical aplomb – by using it as an excuse to attack Democrats.

What does Fox News do when it can’t blame on Democrats Sean Spicer’s own offensive words about Hitler? Why, the “fair and balanced” network blames the media for reporting on it too much.

A report from New York’s Gabriel Sherman suggests that Bill O’Reilly may not return to Fox News after tonight.

Fox News host and Bill O’Reilly protégé Jesse Watters looked a lot like a chip off the old abusive block when he said that the bloodied man dragged off a United Airlines flight reminded him of “a protester being dragged out of a Trump rally.” Watters then added, “I miss those days in the campaign.”

Most of the outrageousness on Fox News last week had to do with multiple allegations of sexual harassment and racial discrimination against Bill O’Reilly and Fox News. But we caught a few quotes worthy of consideration.

When does Fox News love a Syrian refugee? When he’s an Obama-bashing, Trump-praising Syrian refugee. And, conveniently, he’s already in this country or I suspect he might have quite a different view of Donald Trump.

John Oliver has produced another Catheter Cowboy ad for Fox News. This one was produced with Donald Trump in mind and is for airing on The O’Reilly Factor.

Last week, psychologist Wendy Walsh phoned in a sexual harassment complaint against Bill O’Reilly on the 21st Century Fox hotline. Yesterday, Fox’s parent company said it will have its lawfirm investigate the claim.

Fox News’ Howard Kurtz briefly addressed the Bill O’Reilly sexual harassment scandal today by suggesting the multiple allegations against him are “echoes” from the “Roger Ailes era” that are “still making news.” Kurtz didn’t say a word about the racial discrimination case against Fox and its long-time comptroller.
