Former Fox News editor slams network for coverage of Trump
A former Fox News politics editor has slammed his old workplace, saying the news network stoked ‘paranoia and hatred’ during its 2020 Presidential election coverage.
Chris Stirewalt was forced out of the conservative broadcaster, and believes Fox News failed its viewers when Trump lost.
Chris Stirewalt is convinced Fox fired him because of his decision to declare Joe Biden the winner of Arizona on the same night polls closed.
But Fox denies these claims… saying the former political editor’s departure was simply a layoff amid broader company restructuring.
The Arizona call infuriated Trump, prompting the former President to mount a campaign aimed at getting the network to retract the decision.
The New York Times obtained and reported on an advance copy of the book.
It also stoked lies among Trump supporters that Biden was stealing the election.
“Even in the four years since the previous presidential election, Fox viewers had become even more accustomed to flattery and less willing to hear news that challenged their expectation,” Stirewalt’s memoir adds.
That was even the case when viewers’ expectations amounted to “black-helicopter-level paranoia and hatred”, according to the memoir.
In a statement, Fox says ” Chris Stirewalt’s endless attempts at regaining relevance know no bounds.”

Venezuela’s opposition leader vows return and calls for free elections
Maria Corina Machado plans return to Venezuela, urging fair elections and release of political prisoners amid political pressure.
Maria Corina Machado plans return to Venezuela, urging fair elections and release of political prisoners amid political pressure.
Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado says she plans to return home as she renews calls for a free and fair election, despite ongoing political pressure and legal threats against her. Her return would mark a major test for the country’s fragile democratic movement.
Machado is currently under investigation by authorities aligned with President Nicolas Maduro, accused of inciting insurrection. Meanwhile, loyalists from Maduro’s Socialist Party continue to hold key positions of power, complicating efforts to shift Venezuela’s political direction.
She is also calling for the immediate release of political prisoners, arguing it is a necessary first step towards restoring democracy and rebuilding trust in the country’s institutions.

US to lead ceasefire monitoring in Ukraine, coordinating international efforts and supporting European troops post-peace agreement.
The United States has pledged to lead a continuous and reliable ceasefire monitoring system in Ukraine, following new binding security commitments finalised at a Paris summit.
Under the plan, Washington would coordinate international monitoring efforts after any peace agreement, ensuring compliance while providing intelligence and logistical support to European forces on the ground.
The US has also committed to backing European troops if they come under attack, signalling a deeper security role without deploying American combat forces directly into Ukraine.

Albanese open to royal commission into Bondi attack
Albanese considers royal commission into Bondi terror attack amid calls for inquiry and focus on security review
Albanese considers royal commission into Bondi terror attack amid calls for inquiry and focus on security review
– Prime Minister Albanese has not ruled out a royal commission into the Bondi Beach terrorist attack.
– He prioritises a review of intelligence agencies while facing pressure for a national inquiry.
He has resisted calls for a federal inquiry into the attack, where 15 people were killed during a Hanukkah event last month. Albanese prioritised the review of intelligence responses and stated discussions were ongoing to address community needs.
He outlined intentions to recall parliament once new legislation focused on hate speech and gun control is prepared. Consultations are planned over the coming days to ensure proper legislative formulation.
Albanese rejected opposition claims that parliament could have swiftly passed the necessary laws post-attack. Currently, MPs are scheduled to reconvene in February, but a session may be convened sooner to pass new laws and honour Bondi victims.
Ongoing Discussions
Former Labor figures have publicly called for a national royal commission, expressing concern over the limitations of a NSW-led inquiry. Mike Kelly suggested a “rolling” approach for the royal commission to address wider implications for security and democracy, highlighting the necessity of thorough examination given the unprecedented nature of the attack.
He asserted the need for this inquiry to explore broader social issues and assist the Jewish community in the healing process, urging the government to remain responsive to public sentiments.
