Fox Anchor Asks Trump Why His Voice Is 'Hoarse' And… What A Reply

Published by Sam Flores

US President Donald Trump speaks to the media before boarding Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House on April 16, 2026 in Washington, DC. President Donald Trump delivered a bizarre answer after Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo asked him about his “hoarse” voice during an interview on Wednesday.  “I’ve been screaming at Iranians all day, yes. A little bit of laryngitis because of my scream. I’ve been screaming at the Iranians…” the president responded after Bartiromo questioned if “all day” negotiations with China were the reason for his change in voice. Bartiromo then pressed the president, asking if it was “the Iran leadership” that he had been yelling at, but Trump kept rolling.  “You know why?” he continued. “Because that’s the only thing they understand. They don’t understand being nice. They understand the way I have to do business.”  “I treat all people differently,” Trump added, in the clip that was captured by Mediaite.  Trump has been asked about his voice before, in November of last year. He attributed it to shouting during …

Why Fox News is so mad at Abigail Spanberger

Why Fox News is so mad at Abigail Spanberger

Published by Sam Flores

Any time a Democrat comes along who dares to fight back, the Republican outrage machine goes to work. Political ​​toughness becomes “divisiveness” and governing is made scandalous. That’s exactly what is happening right now to Abigail Spanberger. A former CIA officer who flipped a swing House district in northern Virginia twice, Spanberger has now been governor of the commonwealth for roughly four months. She is the first woman to hold that office after winning in November with 57% of the vote, the highest share for any Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Virginia since Albertis Harrison in 1961. She gave the Democratic Party’s response to Donald Trump’s State of the Union address in February. And now the spin machine has kicked into overdrive. Led by Fox News, which published 11 stories critical of Spanberger in the past week, the right has unleashed its full media arsenal on the Democrat. The central charge is that the governor, after campaigning as a moderate, has quickly revealed herself to be a tax-and-spend liberal and a radical ideologue. “She campaigned as …

“Let a couple nuclear bombs drop on us”: Trump says economy could be much worse in Fox News call

“Let a couple nuclear bombs drop on us”: Trump says economy could be much worse in Fox News call

Published by Sam Flores

Donald Trump wants his supporters to look on the bright side. The price of essentials might be skyrocketing thanks to a war he started, but at least no one’s dropped a nuclear bomb on the United States. Trump gave this pitch to “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo, during a call into that Fox News program. In the wide-ranging call, Trump announced his plans to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, threatened further bombing on civilian infrastructure in Iran and repeatedly claimed that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. When Bartiromo pressed Trump on the price of oil and the pain Americans were feeling at the pump, Trump said to be patient. “Eventually, it’s going to be lowered. It might not happen initially, but it’s going to go down,” he said. Trump added that the price of gas could be “the same or maybe a little bit higher” by the midterms. As for the knock-on effects on the American economy and the volatility in the stock market from the Iran War, Trump insisted that things could …

Trump’s clash with podcasters puts Fox News on notice

Trump’s clash with podcasters puts Fox News on notice

Published by Sam Flores

It’s hard to overstate how remarkable the spectacle is: Right-wing broadcasters Mark Levin and Megyn Kelly are trading sexual insults on social media, while Tucker Carlson is suggesting the president might be the Antichrist and Candace Owens is urging Congress to remove him under the 25th Amendment. The house that Donald Trump built is crumbling.  For nearly a decade, the MAGA movement has projected an image of absolute cohesion — an ecosystem where politicians, media figures and voters moved in lockstep. Now the Iran war has done something two impeachments, four indictments and an insurrection could not: It has forced that ecosystem to turn inward and exposed the contradictions that were always there. For years, Trump’s critics have assumed that exposure of his misconduct would eventually erode his support and change his supporters’ minds. But the durability of the MAGA base has shown the short-sightedness of that assumption. Identity, not information, has been the dominant force of Trumpism. But the Iran war is cutting through that dynamic because criticism of it is not easily reframed …

No, Michael J. Fox isn’t dead — and he’s joking about it

No, Michael J. Fox isn’t dead — and he’s joking about it

Published by Sam Flores

Michael J. Fox is very much alive — and he’s treating a recent false report of his death with his characteristic humor. The confusion began after a CNN-produced tribute-style segment was mistakenly published, leading to widespread online reaction that briefly suggested the actor had died. The content was quickly removed and corrected, with CNN acknowledging the error. Fox responded on social media in a post that leaned into the absurdity of the situation rather than alarm. “How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?” he wrote, before joking through a list of possible reactions, from switching channels to calling his wife to simply accepting that “this happens once a year.” The actor concluded the post by reassuring fans: “I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok.” The episode quickly spread online, not as a moment of confusion for long, but as a punchline — largely because Fox himself framed it that way. Fans and commentators highlighted the humor in his response, …

Published by Daniella Wilson

Fox will continue to probe the Memory of a Killer. The network has renewed its first-year drama starring Patrick Dempsey for a second season in 2026-27. Memory of a Killer joins fellow rookie Best Medicine in earning a spot on next season’s schedule; Fox has also renewed Doc for a third season and has yet to make a decision on its other drama series, Murder in a Small Town. The renewal comes as Memory of a Killer, a co-production between Fox and Warner Bros.
