FOX NOISE: Staged Right


 

It's been revealed from leaked documents that have come out this week, that during the January 6 uprising in Washington two years ago (you know, when Donald Trump attempted to overthrow and trash American democracy?) that the bastards and bitches who host the evening opinion programs knew damned good and well that the claims of election fraud by many of the Trump Mob were untrue and that Joe Biden had won the thing fair and square. When a Fox reporter named Jacqui Heinrich attempted to fact-checked Trump's insane claim that the 2020 election had been stolen frp, him, Tucker Carlson immediately emailed Sean Hannity:

"Please get he fired. Seriously....what the fuck? I'm actually shocked....it needs to stop immediately. It's measurably hurting the company."

Another e-mail exchange between Hannity and Laura Ingraham caught them mocking Trump's lawyers, Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, with Laura responding to Sean: "Powell is a complete nut. No One wants to work with her.  Dittro with Rudy."

One would think that Fox has met its journalistic Waterloo, but I'm sure that's merely wishful thinking on my part. They were so terrified of losing their audience to Newsmax (another right wing propaganda SCREAM MACHINE that they were perfectly content to keep the streets of D.C. smothered in chaos and violence in order to save their brand

This is not the way broadcast journalism is supposed to work, folks. This is mot what Edward R. Murrow meant sixty-four years ago when he said:

"This instrument [Television] can teach, it can entertain, yes, it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that human beings are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it's nothing more than wires and lights in a box."

Fox Noise has rendered television nothing more than wires and lights in a box. Ed Murrow, I am certain, is doing somersaults in his grave. I need a drink.

Here's a documentary on Ed Murrow from PBS's American Masters:

He was the maestro.

The seditious white nationalists at FOX(R) were never about journalism. Their mission has always been to be a propaganda arm of the Republican Party.
This is why these fascists hide behind, "It's just entertainment" in the courts.

Dave, you need to keep moving on, or you'll miss the train to bigger things in life than this.

Anonymous Vern is a neo-Confederate like his bimbo secessionist MTG. They both hate our representative democracy and elections.

This is why he needs to ignore the treacherous behavior of his beloved liars at FOX(R).

"Innocent protesters" were the ones who DIDN'T storm the Capitol. He proves he has no conscience and no soul. He surrendered those to Trump and Satan.

But thanks for the advice, Vern. All one has to do to be a decent human being is the opposite of what you do and say.

Anon jumps the cesspool of Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them again:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/national-file/

"Overall, we rate National File an extreme right Tin-Foil Hat Conspiracy website based on the promotion of unproven/debunked claims and a Strong Pseudoscience purveyor based on using junk science to support claims."

Anon is in league with the bloviators (the art of speaking for as long as the occasion warrants, and saying nothing) and continues to pursue the KellyAnne myth of alternate facts.

Faux News is going down once Dominion and Smartmatic take all their funds. Tucker Rose, Hannity Himmel, and Laura Laughing Stock will be gone too.

Just Musing,
We should pity poor Vern. He so confused he lets liars and idiots do his thinking for him.
Has he learned what a woman is yet?
He's on his way to being a full-fledged traitor.

People in Ohio voted for a train wreck and that's what they got.

Note that Ohio's governor hasn't offered to return the money he got from the railroad bosses.
Yes, this train wreck is exactly what ignorant Republican voters asked for. Now their MAGAt mayor is blaming Biden for not canceling his trip to Europe to hold their hand while they insult and blame him.

MAGAts. No better term for them.

trump has desantis pegged, he really is a "meatball". I liked the republicuns better (which is not at all) when they were snowflakin' on Obama for only sending blankets to Crimea. If Ukraine falls the only place for Lukashenko to go is out a window. Maybe tucker will invite him to stay at his place.

A criminally negligent PRIVATE company causes an ecological disaster and the snowflake republicuns wants the federal government to clean it up. Maybe trump will double the offer of a thousand dollar "inconvenience" check that norfurk suthurn offered to the people affected.

I'm guessing Kevin McMargie won't be putting an investigative committee together on the criminal enterprise, Norfolk Southern.

Private corps always want to pass on the cost and responsibility for their mistakes. Let's hold them accountable.

No Pity for Vern, he dug his own pit of hate.

The Bureau Labor Statistics on Wednesday published the annual average unemployment rates for all fifty states.

All nine states with the lowest annual average unemployment rates for 2022 had Republican governors during that year, while all ten states with the highest annual average unemployment rates had Democratic governors.
