Fox News is apparently ending the year with a full court press against the women hosting programs on MSNBC. It wasn't enough for them to have spent the year fluffing Donald Trump, by lying about the violent January 6th insurrection, and spreading deadly disinformation about the COVID pandemic.

On this last week of 2021 Fox News has already produced a hit piece on Joy Reid that was seething with hostility because she accurately reported that Fox is killing off their own audience. Then a few days later Fox posted a story attacking Rachel Maddow for being right about COVID vaccines. Both of these stories were glaringly biased and packed with ultra-conservative perspectives and flagrant lies.

"MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace was roasted this week after referring to herself as a 'Fauci groupie,' in reference to her adoration of White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci."

Oh my heavens! Wallace had the audacity to express respect for America's foremost infectious disease expert who has been working tirelessly to save lives. He was doing this even while Fox News hacks were comparing him to the sadistic Nazi Josef Mengele, and deploying grotesquely murderous metaphors urging people to "ambush" him in public and "go in with the kill shot."

The article by Fox News portrayed Wallace as being the object of widespread mockery for her comments. But in reality, it was only confirmed right-wing partisans who were hurling insults at her. Every single person cited in Fox's hit piece was an unabashed wingnut. They included right-wing pundit, Ben McDonald; NewsBusters editor Tim Graham; conservative troll, Drew Holden; Daily Caller columnist, David Hookstead; conservative writer, Mark Hemingway; and right-wing actor, Nick Searcy.

It cannot be mere coincidence that Fox News has hammered out these assaults on three of MSNBC's most prominent female personalities, all within the space of less than a week. Clearly the folks at Fox feel threatened by smart, engaging women who are effective communicators. So they are lashing out frantically to malign these intelligent, accomplished professionals. And considering the talentless hacks that litter the Fox News schedule, they are also likely writhing in jealousy. Or at least they should be.

1. Wallace is well able for them.

[spanone]

2. faux makes a mockery of the First Amendment.

[gab13by13]

3. Why punish yourself with this propaganda,

it's just plain unhealthy to frequent the dark side. I won't even watch morning or early afternoon cable which is full of right wing propaganda.

I only watch Nicolle, Chris, and Rachel because they get it and say it.

OT but I saw my good buddy Dylan Ratigan yesterday, the guy that MSNBC fired because he was exposing crony capitalism. He owns PPE factories, they showed one in Illinois that makes vinyl gloves. he says he is competing with gloves made in Malaysia where they use slave labor. He wants to be competitive with them yet he pays his workers 25 dollars an hour with benefits.

Gosh darn I miss Dylan I always watched his show, he was passionate, but he stepped on too many American Oligarch's toes.

I will go out of my way to buy his gloves when I need them. Look for made in USA vinyl gloves when you need a pair. It is OK to promote Buy American I hope? I hope the Malaysian slave labor trolls don't alert on me.

[MacKasey]

9. What's the name of his company?

[gab13by13]

20. I guess he is just a manager not owner,

U.S. Medical Glove Co.. Don't get me in trouble now.

[North Shore Chicago]

4. Ms. Wallace

has the mental goods to deal with these fuckers. If she deals with the piss ants at all.

[Rebl2]

7. So does Rachel

Joy, and Lawrence.

[gab13by13]

17. Lawrence is a woman?

Don't get mad now, Happy New Year.

[Rebl2]

24. Guess I

was just thinking about the evening shows in general. Sorry about that mistake.

[gab13by13]

26. I agree, she makes it a point not to show right wing

propaganda on her show, she won't give them air time on her show, so she may just ignore these piss ants.

[lees1975]

5. Of courss they're attacking these women

they're the best female journalists in the country, and in fact, among the best journalists, period. No one at Fox is anywhere near being in their ball park, and while Fox ratings are sagging, these women are expanding their audience.

[mnhtnbb]

6. Take a look at those names again cited in the Fox hit piece.

Ben McDonald; Tim Graham; Drew Holden; David Hookstead; Mark Hemingway; Nick Searcy

All males. Gee, I wonder what their problem could be with Nicolle Wallace? Envy? Or just plain old misogyny? Better get some socks to put in your pants, guys. Maybe you'll feel better.

[niyad]

12. About this pathetic all-male chorus: who?? Never heard of any of them.

[dchill]

29. I've heard of Hemingway, but I think it was Ernest...

...or maybe Margaux. Definitely not Mark.

[LiberalFighter]

21. And I don't recognize any of those names.

[lindysalsagal]

8. I hope the women return the slander and make it expensive for these neaderthals.

[ancianita]

10. They'll do one better. Bide their time and build at least one defamation case.

[dawn5651]

11. i was watching when nicolle said that...figured faux noise would go after her.

[vlyons]

13. I like NICOLE rather a lot

I try to watch her every day. I don't care that she worked for GWBish.. I find her to be smart, likable, witty, and honest.

[gab13by13]

23. She also has great guests,

and if she disagrees with her guest she bluntly cuts him/her off and challenges them.

She has been constant in keeping the insurrection on her front page nearly every show.

She and Liz Cheney, from the dark side, are now the loudest voices trying to save our democracy.

[LiberalFighter]

25. Same here.

I only do the first hour because local news is on during her second hour. I watch Rachel and Lawrence later. Especially since most of prime time tv has gone down the tubes with their stupid shows.

[kentuck]

14. They are about to get on my fighting side.

Messing with Nicolle.

[George II]

15. I would take one Nicole Wallace for FIVE of the Fox bottle blondes any day.

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. They all look alike and sound alike. Mostly whiney

and insipid. I can't watch or listen.

[thenelm1]

22. Just 5? You're selling NW short methinks. n/t

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. These women are really good and that's important, of course.

But they are also really popular. They are nice people who
are fighting for their country. They are passionate, compassionate, smart, fast and really likable.

Hard to beat.

And there's also Psaki. She's batting them out of the ballpark, too.

Sad that some people are so threatened by really wonderful women.

[tiredtoo]

19. No surprise here

Their fans are not just racists they are also misogynists.

[TNNurse]

27. Imagine how little Nicole Wallace cares about the opinion

of anyone on Fox. Too small to even have a nano measurement.

[KS Toronado]

28. All of MSM should hit back at FQX

with specials about how FQX brainwashes people, how Fascists always start out by attacking journalists, etc.
Who's been yelling "FAKE NEWS" for years?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

30. Nicole Wallace wears her big girl panties everyday.

Which has the folks at FAUX all in a bunch.

Intelligence, grace under pressure, the FACTS and guests to back them up, consistency, all work in Nicole's favor.

FAUX NOISE is showing who they really are. A PROPAGANDA arm of the ReTrumplican party. Anti-American and Anti-Democracy channel.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. I really like Nicole Wallace

She is doing something right if Fox is mad at her

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

32. Good to see that Fox is attacking Nicolle. Keep it up.

Her good reputation is bolstered by idiots' attacks.

[jalan48]

33. Viewership must be lagging.
