Even if Fox viewers heard about this story the whataboutism and false equivalence would excuse it all away.

Fox News is right. Their viewers are idiots, intentionally ignorant and proud of it.

Sarah Longwell at Bulwark has this tweet up regarding Tucker Carlson’s retelling of January 6th.

“Congrats to Fox News for following up their public exposure of knowingly lying to their audience about the 2020 election with knowingly lying to their audience about January 6th.”

Bingo!

Chris, you and your MSM friends are spreading lies about Fox because you hate America. That is what most Fox watchers believe.

I find Tuckers latest videos interesting. Testicle tanning? The Capitol riot was just a tour group? I think he is lowering the bar by making ridiculous videos just to set up his defense for his Dominion stories. He has a lot to lose in a lawsuit and he just needs to make the case that no one in their right mind would actually believe anything he says. If you believe him, then you just do not get the joke. Fox News has used that excuse before in Court. His next video should be a real winner! Maybe a deep-fake video showing the rioters buying Girl Scout cookies at the Capitol on Jan 6th?

Agree. As does msnbc play to their base in the exact same way. It’s pathetic. Sick of all of them and their parochialism

A family member believes Fox News hook, line and sinker. This person said that they try and listen to both sides and will switch over to CNN but can’t stomach it for very long as it is all BS. There is no reasonable way to speak to people and tell them Fox News is lying. No matter what you say, it’s you that is lying to them. It is seriously a cult following, same as the MAGA gang. I have always gone to CNN for my news and read Brian Stelters book, Hoax. Fox had a direct line into the White House. I firmly believe that. What I don’t understand, how can someone go on air and spew these egregious things and sleep at night. Power? Ratings? Money? Sorry, I have morals and could never ever do that. I’d rather have less money and be able to know in my heart that I was doing the best that I could to give the public the truth. The viewers are the losers in all of this. I am terrified of the 2024 election and perhaps having another 4 (8?) years of this.
