Treason TV

I’d like to believe that this is the way “news” outlets like Fox, OAN, and Newsmax will someday come to be regarded, but I doubt it.

Fox is constantly walking back its claims about the insurrection.  For a while, it was instigated by Antifa, but that evaporated into thin air when 800+ known Trump supporters were tried and convicted.  Was there a retraction?  Of course not.

Now, it’s billed more as a disturbance than an insurrection, Trump had no direct causation, and the entire topic is granted very little airtime.

The narrative here will constantly morph, but under no circumstance will Fox put itself in a position that it was clear that they supported a traitor.

By the time Trump’s criminality is fully resolved, there will be many other ultra-right-wing causes to support, and the former president will be left to fade out as a distant memory, just as an elderly eskimo is left to die on an ice floe.
