Former advisor to Donald Trump Steve Bannon attacked Fox News for finally covering the biggest story in United States politics—the January 6th House Select Committee hearings.

Bannon—a prior Trump pardon recipient—was cited for contempt for refusing to cooperate with the House inquiry into the Capitol riot that resulted in at least five deaths, over 100 injuries to law enforcement and millions of dollars in damages.

In a post to former Republican President Donald Trump's beleaguered Twitter clone, Truth Social, Bannon ranted:

"Fox News shows their hand—all in on taking down President Trump—now it’s out in the open—IF YOU WATCH FOX U ARE ONLY AIDING AND ABETTING THEIR ANTI-TRUMP HATE"

Fox News was widely criticized for their failure to cover or televise the January 6th hearings.

But now that they have devoted some airtime to the major story, conservatives like Bannon are making their displeasure known.

People were less than sympathetic to Bannon's complaints.






Some wondered what changed at Fox News.



Bannon has ranted about the hearings multiple times.

On his War Room: Pandemic podcast the day after the first televised January 6th hearing, Bannon said:

"Trump won the presidency. And he is the legitimate President of the United States, and your guy's illegitimate and the American people are awakening to that."
"We don't care what you have to say. And I dare Merrick Garland to take that crap there last night and try to indict Donald J. Trump."
"We dare you because we will impeach you. We're winning in November and we're going to impeach you and everybody around you."
"F*ck—screw the White House. We're going to impeach you and everybody in the DOJ."

In public, Bannon has consistently parroted Trump's Big Lie about the 2020 election.

But testimony before the House Select Committee alleged Bannon knew it was all a lie, knew Trump lost by a wide margin, but repeated the lies to secure a pardon.

Bannon was pardoned by Trump as one of his last acts in office. Bannon was facing fraud charges for a border wall scam at the time.

Just because not all love leads to "happily ever after" doesn't mean it can't last, and it definitely doesn't mean some iconic photos can't be taken along the way!

Appearing for a retro Disney-themed American Idol, Danielle Fishel was met by her old friend Lance Bass, whom she dated for a year back in her Boy Meets World days. In between shoots, Fishel would travel with Bass while *NSYNC toured, and she'd even go stay with Bass's family during the holidays.

Trump Just Shared A Truly Unhinged Tribute To Tim Cook After He Announced He's Stepping Down As Apple CEO—And, Hoo Boy

President Donald Trump shared an unhinged tribute to Apple CEO Tim Cook—whom he again referred to as "Tim Apple"—following Cook's announcement that Apple will have a new leader starting in September, openly reminiscing about all the times Cook would call him to "kiss my ass."

Cook took over from Steve Jobs and reshaped Apple by leaning on his operations expertise. He streamlined and expanded global supply chains, introduced Apple-designed chips, and pushed the company beyond hardware into services, launching subscription offerings like Apple News, Apple TV+, and Apple Pay, which have since become major revenue drivers.

AOC Offers Hilarious Take On Why Trump's Golfing Amid Iran War Might Actually Be A Good Thing

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke frankly with MeidasTouch Network's Pablo Menriquez when asked about President Donald Trump's second-term golfing habits, pointing out why Americans might actually want him on the "golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office."

She said it was “awful” that Trump was golfing while the U.S. is at war with Iran and facing rising prices, arguing he should be focused on his responsibilities instead.
