Chapter 1: How has Fox News reacted to the current administration?

0.129 - 19.041 Fox News Host

You know, for this administration right now to blame the former administration, I'm sorry. When it's happening on your watch, and if this were a Democrat, I'd say the same thing. When it's happening on your watch, you are responsible. The buck stops with you. Stop deflecting blame. Show some solutions, specific solutions, so that we can all be safe.

That was a host on state regime media known as Fox right there calling out the current regime for its dangerous, dangerous handling of the FAA and across its agencies. That's on Fox. But of course, you then have other hosts on state regime media known as Fox, like Jesse Waters, saying, look, the United States just needs to steal land. That's what we do in the United States. Let's steal Greenland.

48.185 - 57.114 Ben Meiselas

Let's take land. Manifest destiny. We need conquest. This is pathetic, vile host from Fox, Jesse Waters. Play this clip right here.

57.867 - 76.284 Jesse Waters

And he's also talking about, he doesn't like Trump talking about expanding. The United States has always expanded, either by force or we buy things. bought Alaska from the Russians. We bought half the country from the French. We beat the Mexicans, the Native Americans, the Spanish, the British. That's how we do things here. It's manifest destiny.

76.544 - 93.734 Jesse Waters

And if we find out that we need Greenland as a matter of national survival, of course any president, Republican or Democrat, should get it by any means necessary. And it looks like right now we have our intelligence agencies in Greenland on the ground right now ensuring that they vote for independence. Right.

94.455 - 114.759 Ben Meiselas

You know, when you say things like that, Jesse, I know you think that that's, you know, funny or that's entertainment or anger, taming or rage baiting for your audience. What you mean by that is you want to send young men and women to die in wars against our allies. So shut up. Because you have no clue what you're talking about. You have no clue what sacrifice is.

115.079 - 139.775 Ben Meiselas

And you live in your $20 million homes and behave the way you do like a reckless maniac while you cause harm to the American people, you and other state regime media hosts. Here's Will Kane, who's trying to be like Jesse Waters and Jesse Waters trying to be like Tucker Carlson with MAGA Republican Congress member Anna Paulina Lunon. And here they're talking about they got to go after Dr. Fauci.

140.155 - 143.257 Ben Meiselas

That's how they spend their day. Go after Fauci. Here, play this clip.

143.897 - 161.741 Will Kane

And that's what I want to lean in on for a moment, Congresswoman, because I think at this point, everybody watching knows that Dr. Fauci lied. At a minimum, he played semantics over the definition of gain of function, but that it amounted to a lie. Let's set aside the pardon for just one moment. I don't know if the pardon covers any potential accountability for perjury.

Chapter 2: What controversial statements did Jesse Waters make on Fox?

I do want to show this other moment, though, when Fox was covering the congressional hearings that was taking place. And they pointed out a moment where these MAGA Republicans were trying to make it seem like the head of the United States Fencing Association was giving the middle finger to a selfie photo. But then as a Democratic congresswoman pointed out,

421.832 - 434.581 Ben Meiselas

Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Magas manipulated the photo. He had two fingers up and they cut off one finger to make it look like he was giving the middle fingers. Play this clip and then I'll explain to you. Ben, what are you fencing? What are you talking about here? Play this clip.

434.881 - 445.289 Libsyn Ads Representative

I had already spent the money on competition fees and new equipment and spent hours training. I felt trapped. I had been defrauded of a women's tournament and sold a lie by USA Fencing.

446.363 - 459.074 Reporter

Now, one big fight, Martha, has been over a picture of the chairman. Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene actually brought it up during the hearing, and Democrats said this was a big misrepresentation. Watch this.

460.535 - 468.082 Marjorie Taylor Greene

Mr. LaFelte came in here today saying that this is game day. You're right, Mr. LaFelte, this is game day.
