Chapter 1: What Orwellian themes are present in Fox News coverage?

0.169 - 19.237 Ben Meiselas

As I watch state regime media known as Fox, the following quote from 1984 comes to mind. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. If you watch Fox News, everything is exactly the opposite. Like Larry Kudlow, who used to work

19.697 - 45.287 Ben Meiselas

For the first Trump administration was saying how everybody knows that tariffs are not inflationary and they won't lead to a recession as our country is heading into a recession as inflation is increasing because tariffs are literally inflationary and recession and or Great Depression inducing. Here, play this clip.

45.307 - 67.614 Larry Kudlow

I mean, look, Sean. part of this business you know the stock market's selling off over tariffs i i think that's crazy tariffs are not inflationary tariffs are not going to lead to a recession trump's reciprocal tariff policy is very good and you saw the canadian uh back off today promptly when trump threatened them remember what i said when i started this video war is peace

Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Fox then interviews RFK Jr., an anti-vaxxer who's now leading Health and Human Services. And here he, not surprisingly, attacks vaccines with more weird conspiracies. Play this clip. Used to be when you and I were kids, everybody got measles. And measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection. The vaccine does.

96.332 - 118.303 Ben Meiselas

Remember what I said at the beginning, Orwellian stuff right here, as one of Donald Trump's top propagandists, his press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, says something about how Canada was forced to back down to Donald Trump when, in fact, Donald Trump backed down to Canada. This is how they're spinning things.

118.363 - 136.14 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump declares trade wars, what I consider, frankly, to be actual wars against Canada. Canada goes elbow up above the boards, stands up. Trump then delays the tariffs. And now the Trump regime declares that as a victory on state regime media. Play this clip.

136.46 - 150.736 Caroline Leavitt

We are finally going to treat nations the way that they have treated the United States for far too long. And Canada saw if you want to step up into the big leagues with President Trump, you better be prepared to play. It looks like they are not.

151.357 - 177.568 Ben Meiselas

Keep going with this theme as the state regime media known as Fox takes our Constitution, rips it to shreds, and tries to hoist up this idiotic authoritarian regime. Here's Laura Ingraham on Fox saying, it's just absurd to think that our framers would believe the Constitution safeguards the rights of people who are in the United States. Here, play this clip.

177.828 - 190.853 Laura Ingraham

It's simply absurd to believe that our framers wrote our Constitution to safeguard the rights of non-citizens whose entire goal is to seize power in the United States in order to benefit our enemies.

Chapter 2: How does Fox News spin economic policies?

300.003 - 324.621 Ben Meiselas

Interesting you use the example of like a marriage or relationship, because as I've said before, Donald Trump's treatment of Canada and frankly, other people, other allies, for example, is the height of abusiveness. Donald Trump picks on the people he's in relationships or the United States is in relationships and treats them the absolute worst.

0

325.041 - 348.887 Ben Meiselas

and then treats the enemies the absolute best because that's the crew that Donald Trump actually wants to hang with because Trump's pathology is geared towards the access of evil and not our allies. So Donald Trump's behavior towards Canada is the height of abusiveness and gaslighting. And then it's like, oh, Canada's being mean to us. You threatened annexation.

0

348.927 - 369.262 Ben Meiselas

You've made posts saying that you don't believe that there's really a border between the U.S. and Canada and Canada needs to be annexed and, oh, Canada will become a great song of the United States. So utterly pathetic. Then here's Larry Kudlow again, again, lying here that there's all this fraud in Social Security. There's so much fraud here.

0

369.322 - 369.883 Larry Kudlow

Play this clip.

370.143 - 392.706 Ben Meiselas

but the fraud like social security people are 150 years old getting social security checks which is insane uh or that's one of the things that this regime has been saying over and over because they want to gut social security so they've been saying that elon thinks that there's about 600 billion to 800 billion in fraud in social security elon thinks

393.524 - 407.752 Ben Meiselas

So Caroline Leavitt was asked during the press conference she held yesterday. But those numbers aren't real. To which Caroline Leavitt responded, I never said they were real. I just said that's what Elon thinks. We're going to have to find out if that's real.

408.152 - 426.886 Ben Meiselas

But that's what we're going to use to basically fire everybody, which they're doing, who works at the Social Security Administration, shut down the buildings. so that they cripple the Social Security Administration so people don't get their Social Security checks. That's what's going to happen. And we should be absolutely pissed about it.

All right, let's talk about spring cleaning, but not the boring kind. I'm talking about leveling up your kitchen game and finally tossing that scratched up sad excuse for a pan you've been clinging to since college. Because once I got my hands on Hexclad, I knew that there was no going back. You guys know I take my cooking seriously.

443.742 - 464.569 Advertisement voice

This stuff is like if a cast iron skillet and a spaceship had a baby. You get the durability of stainless steel, the nonstick magic of modern cookware, and it just looks sexy. No more scraping burnt food like it's the 90s, just perfect sears, effortless cleanup, and straight into the dishwasher. You cannot beat it. And let's not forget their Japanese Damascus steel knives.
