Ryan, who joined the Fox Corporation board of directors in 2019, made the comments during a virtual meeting with the Bank of America’s European Credit Union. Trump has refused to concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden, alleging widespread voter fraud.

Dobbs, a staunch Trump loyalist, has criticized Ryan’s perceived disloyalty to the Republican Party....

And it will come during a Chicago Bears game. Burkhardt, speaking on Mad Dog Sports Radio on Friday hours after Fox announced Cutler would be joining the broadcast team, said the first game the new trio will work is the Bears-Titans game in Week 3 of the 2017 NFL preseason. MORE: Why Cutler is leaving football The broadcast of the game, a 1 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday, Aug. 27, is the network’s first national TV slot of the year....

The polling average compiled by RealClearPolitics for Pennsylvania currently suggests that Biden is favored to win the state, with less than a week to Election Day on November 3. Analysts have pointed to a dip in Black voters in the key swing state—and across the country—in 2016 compared to 2012, saying this helped Trump pull off a narrow win. Former President Barack Obama carried Pennsylvania in 2008 and 2012....

Wallace made the remarks during a recess in the much anticipated testimony, as he discussed the hearing with fellow Fox News anchors Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier. Giving his perspective after MacCallum and Baier provided some analysis of Mueller’s testimony thus far, Wallace said the two had “been very kind” in their assessment. “I had to laugh a bit when you talked about the testimony by Robert Mueller because testimony has to be put in quotes....

Trump said that his candidacy marked the beginning of “America’s comeback” and promised to “stand tall in the storm” during a speech that lasted longer than an hour. Fox News broke away from the announcement at multiple points. After the former president referred to Old West figures Billy the Kid and Jesse James, host Laura Ingraham suggested that the speech was no longer newsworthy. “We’re going to go back to former President Trump when news warrants,” she said....

Hemmer asked Blake if he would like to see the former first lady campaign for the presidency, but Blake had a question of his own for Hemmer. “Well, she is not running but the core question is why the hell does Tucker Carlson still have a job here in the first place?” Blake asked. “The reality is this is someone who said white supremacy is a hoax and why does Fox allow him to still be here in the first place?...

Thomas Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a right-wing political activist group, told Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro on Saturday that McConnell should implement what is known as the “nuclear option” if the House of Representatives votes to impeach Trump. As noted by Raw Story, Senate rules state that a super majority—which the Republican party does not have—is needed in order to change laws regarding impeachment trials. Fitton suggested that McConnell should simply ignore the rule which calls for 67 votes to pass any changes and simply state an impeachment trial is not going to happen....

In a Tuesday segment discussing CNN’s Chris Cuomo viral video of the journalist threatening to push a person down a flight of stairs for calling him “Fredo,” Watters says these sort of comments are things people in journalism just have to deal with. He uses his encounter with LaBeouf as an example. “You know, the other day, I was at a lounge, the Delta Sky situation, trying to take off for a flight with my family,” Watters said during a segment on Fox News....

Hilton’s comments came in response to Prince Harry’s first public comments since it emerged that he and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will be quitting the royal family. In a speech in London on Sunday, Harry said he felt “great sadness” about cutting almost all of his and Meghan’s ties to royal life but there was “no other option.” Harry cited the decision to leave as partly motivated by the media’s coverage of his family, calling it a “powerful force....

Hogan Gidley, Trump’s campaign press secretary, appeared Friday morning on Fox & Friends and discussed the president’s standing in recent polls. Show co-host Brian Kilmeade, who has pushed back against Gidley before, referenced that “almost all polls” show Trump trailing presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in key battleground states. Kilmeade named and discussed in detail “the Fox poll,” which shows Biden beating Trump in Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, according to the network’s statewide registered voter surveys....

“The president has admitted to holding up nearly $400 million in aid until he got a political favor, his word – ‘favor’ – from the president of Ukraine,” Napolitano, who previously served as a New Jersey Superior Court judge, said on America’s Newsroom. “That is arguably impeachable,” he pointed out. The legal expert went on to point out that the House of Representatives had not yet taken a vote on the impeachment inquiry....

Democratic nominee Joe Biden was expected to lead a blue wave—but things did not pan out that way and the conservative television network took some joy in mocking their liberal counterparts. The Biden campaign had high hopes of flipping historically red states such as Georgia and Texas. But those assumed blue advantages started to fade away as those states called for Trump; first Iowa, then Texas, Ohio and Georgia....

Watters on Monday urged attendees of the conservative group Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event to ambush Fauci with questions about the National Institutes of Health (NIH) allegedly funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci, the longtime director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, called for Watters to be “fired on the spot” after he was asked about the event during a CNN interview on Monday....

The Fox News and Fox Business move comes after Smartmatic attorneys sent a letter to multiple news media networks, including conservative outlets Newsmax and OAN, which demanded they retract numerous conspiratorial claims about the software company. Threatening defamation litigation, the London-based electronic voting system company specifically demanded the networks rebuke their hosts’ own claims that tied them to billionaire philanthropist George Soros. Dobbs and Pirro had also initially echoed many of President Donald Trump’s baseless conspiratorial claims about election voting software being “rigged....

In a press statement sent to Newsweek, Fox News stated that only the first portion of Rittenhouse’s interview with Tucker Carlson will air Monday night. This will then reportedly be followed by a Fox Nation documentary on the interview sometime in December.

A woman was beheaded at a church in the city of Nice by a knifeman who killed a further two people and left others injured, before he was shot and arrested by police on Thursday morning.

They take on Argentina at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on Sunday looking to become the first team in 60 years (since Brazil in 1962) to retain the world crown with back-to-back wins. Didier Deschamps’ concerns over a flu bug spreading through his squad on eve of the final did not deplete his starting side on the day of the game – a major boost as his players bid to contain the irrepressible Lionel Messi....

Polling has shown that evangelical Christians are among the demographics most skeptical about the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines. A number of Christian leaders have urged the religious community to get vaccinated, touting the vaccines’ safety, as have former President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers. But vaccination rates have slowed across the country, driven partly by conservatives who are unwilling to get the shot. “For me as a Christian, it’s very easy for me to support the vaccine,” Graham, the CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of Samaritan’s Purse, told CNN during a Sunday interview....

Whitecaps defender Fraser Aird has had a particularly frustrating first season in MLS after finding himself in and out of the ‘Caps’ starting line-up, making only 18 appearances and failing to find the scoresheet or garner an assist. It’s certainly not the season he’d have hoped for when he came to Vancouver on a season-long loan from Scottish giant Rangers. “It’s been up and down to be honest,” Aird told Goal....
