Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Friday sought to clarify the news organization's use of a fake image depicting Judge Bruce Reinhart, who signed off on the ...
“Last night while subbing for Tucker Carlson, we showed you an image of Judge Bruce Reinhart w/ Ghislaine Maxwell that was sourced on screen to a meme pulled from Twitter & wasn’t real,” the post said. Republicans have been heavily critical of Reinhart for signing off on the search warrant. “This depiction never took place & we wanted to make clear that we were showing a meme in jest," the Fox News host tweeted.
The network aired a doctored photo showing Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhardt on a plane with convicted sex trafficker Ghislane Maxwell.
The network has also presented commentators and Trump’s Republican allies who have suggested that the FBI planted evidence to incriminate the former president. “So a picture of Bruce Reinhart. This is the judge in charge of the ... warrant. “This depiction never took place & we wanted to make clear that we’re showing a meme in jest.” The bureau’s investigation is related to allegations Trump removed classified documents from the White House when he left office. Kilmeade appeared hesitant after the image appeared at the end of his commentary. Fox News isn’t apologizing for using a doctored photo of the judge who signed off on the FBI search warrant of former President Trump’s Palm Beach, Fla., residence.
According to the latest Fox News poll, 70% of voters are concerned that life in the U.S. will be worse than it is today. Voters are concerned with gun ...
The total sample has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. Several high-profile shootings in the last three months could well lead voters to perceive gun violence as a serious concern. The 25% who say life will be better favor the Democrat by 34. Of the 70% saying the next generation will be worse off, those voters break for the GOP by 14 points. However, they are one of the only subgroups where the belief that life will get better for younger generations is up (37% vs. A majority, 70%, says life will be worse for the next generation than it is today — up 29 percentage points from July 2020.
Network criticized for sharing manipulated image of Bruce Reinhart on a plane across from the convicted sex trafficker.
Kilmeade has since responded to the photo, tweeting, “Last night while subbing for Tucker Carlson, we showed you an image of Judge Bruce Reinhart w/ Ghislaine Maxwell that was sourced on screen to a meme pulled from Twitter & wasn’t real. “We interrupt this hurricane for the beginning of football season. He likes Oreos and whiskey,” Kilmeade said.
A day later, Kilmeade tweeted that the fake image of the judge—who currently faces an onslaught of death threats—was shown purely “in jest.”
If the image was shown purely in “jest,” as Kilmeade claimed a day later, it may not have been entirely clear in real-time. “Last night while subbing for Tucker Carlson, we showed you an image of Judge Bruce Reinhart w/ Ghislaine Maxwell that was sourced on screen to a meme pulled from Twitter & wasn’t real,” the Fox star posted online. “This depiction never took place & we wanted to make clear that we were showing a meme in jest.”

“He likes Oreos and whiskey.” “This depiction never took place and we wanted to make clear that we were showing a meme in jest,” Kilmeade wrote. I don't know.”
The photoshopped picture suggested the judge that approved the search of Donald Trump's Florida estate consorted with sex offenders.
The doctored photo was originally an image of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein cozying up to convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.
"Last night while subbing for Tucker Carlson, we showed you an image of Judge Bruce Reinhart w/ Ghislaine Maxwell that was sourced on screen to a meme pulled from Twitter & wasn't real," Kilmeade wrote. Epstein's upper body in the image was replaced with Reinhart's. In a tweet on Friday, Kilmeade addressed the use of the doctored photo in Thursday night's segment and said he was "showing a meme in jest." The altered photo — originally an image of the late convicted sex offender Epstein cozying up to convicted sex trafficker Maxwell on a private jet — was broadcast during "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Thursday while Fox News' Brian Kilmeade was serving as guest host. Fox News aired a digitally altered photo that replaced an old image of Jeffrey Epstein getting a foot rub from Ghislaine Maxwell with the body and face of the federal judge who signed off on the warrant allowing FBI agents to search former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago. - The photo aired during "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Thursday while Brian Kilmeade was a guest host.

The company had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on security and lost hundreds of millions more in business, according to its complaint. Fox News and Fox Business gave a platform to some of the loudest purveyors of these theories, including Mike Lindell, the MyPillow founder, and Mr. Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, in the days and weeks after major news outlets including Fox declared Joseph R. Biden Jr. the president-elect. Asked about Dominion’s strategy to place the Murdochs front and center in the case, a Fox Corporation spokesman said it would be a “fruitless fishing expedition.” A spokeswoman for Fox News said it was “ridiculous” to claim, as Dominion does in the suit, that the network was chasing viewers from the far-right fringe. As part of its case, it cites one of the most indelible images from the Jan. 6 attack: a man in the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, clutching zip ties in his left hand. “When the president and his lawyers are making allegations, that in and of itself is newsworthy,” Dan Webb, the trial lawyer brought in by Fox several weeks ago, said in an interview. For Dominion to convince a jury that Fox should be held liable for defamation and pay damages, it has to clear an extremely high legal bar known as the “actual malice” standard. But Fox has also been searching for evidence that could, in effect, prove the Dominion conspiracy theories weren’t really conspiracy theories. These questions have had a singular focus, this person said: to place Lachlan Murdoch in the room when the decisions about election coverage were being made. That business encompasses the most profitable parts of the Murdoch American media portfolio and is run directly by Rupert Murdoch, 91, who serves as chairman, and his elder son, Lachlan, the chief executive. Anchors and executives have been preparing for depositions and have been forced to hand over months of private emails and text messages to Dominion, which is hoping to prove that network employees knew that wild accusations of ballot rigging in the 2020 election were false. The case threatens a huge financial and reputational blow to Fox, by far the most powerful conservative media company in the country. In the weeks after President Donald J. Trump lost the 2020 election, the Fox Business host Lou Dobbs claimed to have “tremendous evidence” that voter fraud was to blame.
An 8-year-old girl in Alliance, Ohio was reportedly told by local police to shut down her lemonade stand last weekend after receiving a complaint from a ...
"He (the officer) had to do his job, but it just felt so unjust to me because she’s 8, she’s just an innocent little girl that wants to be motivated and wants to do something with herself. If she wants to sell on the street, she has to get a street permit. "I could definitely tell he did not want to shut her down, but, I mean, you get a call, he has to do it.
Dozens of unfounded accusations made by Fox hosts are cited in Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit against Fox Corp.
In one interview, Giuliani falsely claimed that Dominion was owned by a Venezuelan company with close ties to Chavez and that it was formed “to fix elections.” (Dominion was founded in Canada in 2002 by a man who wanted to make it easier for blind people to vote.) The company had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on security and lost hundreds of millions more in business, according to its complaint. Asked about Dominion’s strategy to place the Murdochs front and center in the case, a Fox Corp. spokesperson said it would be a “fruitless fishing expedition.” A spokesperson for Fox News said it was “ridiculous” to claim, as Dominion does in the suit, that the network was chasing viewers from the far-right fringe. For Dominion to convince a jury that Fox should be held liable for defamation and pay damages, it has to clear an extremely high legal bar known as the “actual malice” standard.

The case threatens a huge financial and reputational blow to Fox, by far the most powerful conservative media company in the country. And Fox is arguing, in part, that is what shields it from liability. In the weeks after former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, Fox Business host Lou Dobbs claimed to have “tremendous evidence” that voter fraud was to blame. “We’re litigating history, in a way: What is historical truth?” said Lee Levine, a noted First Amendment lawyer who has argued several major media defamation cases.
In that letter, State Board Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell wrote that a temporary issue with pre-population of the citizenship question on voter ...
Vought said he received the documents from a sister organization, the American Accountability Foundation. The State Board provided the documents to AAF through a public records request. She also explained that the U.S. Attorney’s office had failed to provide any documentation of individuals that it claimed were non-citizens, which meant that the State Board could not remove these voters from the rolls. “It is frustrating and disheartening to all of us who work so hard to conduct accessible, secure, and fair elections that anyone can go on a popular show and spread false information about elections to the American people, without any opportunity for rebuttal or fact-checking,” said Karen Brinson Bell, executive director of the State Board of Elections. “Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to respond to most of the mis- and disinformation about elections. He also did not mention the State Board of Elections’ response to that letter, sent to Acker three days later. Vought did not mention that it was the State Board of Elections’ own audit, conducted in 2017, that prompted the investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s office. The State Board and some county boards of elections have received inquiries about this since the segment aired on Wednesday.

Tonight, we know the former president's lawyer certified in June that there was no classified material at Mar-a-Lago. And former President Trump maintains all the documents seized were declassified. He had the authority to do that as president. Hillary Clinton was never held accountable for her private email server, but now we see an unprecedented raid at former President Donald Trump's private residence.
