Michael Flynn: Fox News vs. CNN

Heather Hastie — Sun, 03 Dec 2017 04:30:13 +0000

The big news all over the world continues to be that US President Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn admitted to lying to the FBI. He has pleaded guilty to one count, although the court documents detail evidence of other lies. This is going to have huge ramifications for the Trump administration. I […]

Tweets and Homily: Fox Blames Clinton for Weinstein

Heather Hastie — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 03:21:14 +0000

The Twitter-verse is still full of tweets about Harvey Weinstein, which is no surprise. More and more women are coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment, assault, and rape. The MO (method of operation) many of them describe is very similar, which makes them all the more believable. While I was halfway through finding tweets […]

Auē Tēnei Wiki: Fox News Coverage of the California Massacre

Heather Hastie — Sun, 06 Dec 2015 00:13:38 +0000

We’re back to the show I both love, but frequently gets me all riled up – Fox New’s The Five. On Friday (Thursday US time) they discussed the horrific events in San Bernadino, California at length, insisting it was terrorism, and being angry with the FBI (and, by extension, the Obama administration) for not saying […]

Climate Change and the United States

Heather Hastie — Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:41:15 +0000

As regular readers will know, I enjoy Fox News’s The Five, which is a US show in which five co-hosts (four conservative and one liberal) discuss current events. Because of the political leanings of most of the co-hosts, I rarely agree with them, but I enjoy the (mostly) intelligent discussion nevertheless. I started watching this […]

Auē Tēnei Wiki: Terrorism in Colorado

Heather Hastie — Sun, 29 Nov 2015 02:31:08 +0000

I watched the events at Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs unfold on TV on Saturday (Friday US time), mostly on Fox News. Throughout they were careful, as any news organisation should be, not to attribute any motive to the gunman. (For those that don’t know, Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organisation that provides women’s reproductive […]

This is What’s Wrong with US Politics

Heather Hastie — Tue, 27 Oct 2015 00:33:49 +0000

I’ve just watch the first segment of today’s episode of Fox New’s The Five (5pm Monday EST, 10am Tuesday NZT). The segment was about the operation where US soldiers helped in the rescue of DAESH hostages, who, intelligence suggested, were about to be executed. During the operation, a US soldier was injured and later died […]

Second GOP Presidential Debate Tomorrow

Heather Hastie — Wed, 16 Sep 2015 03:32:52 +0000

We haven’t had a Democratic Party debate yet, but tomorrow sees the second Republican Party one. As in the first debate, the field has had to be split into two because there are so many contenders. One candidate, former governor of Texas Rick Perry, pulled out on Monday in a long speech in which it’s […]

Mike Huckabee is Economical with the Truth on the Iran Deal

Heather Hastie — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 07:08:34 +0000

This morning (9am Tuesday NZ time, 5pm Monday EST) I watched GOP presidential contender and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee on Fox New’s The Five trying to defend his recent comments about the Iran Nuclear Deal. I’ve always struggled to watch Huckabee – there are even occasions when I’ve literally felt physically ill listening to […]
