1. Today's example of how @FoxNews deceives its viewers into a fantasy world. Hillary Clinton appears on Rachel Maddow. In discussing the impropriety of Trump calling on Russia to hack her emails, she says a "can you imagine how GOP would react if dems said..." hypothetical...
@FoxNews 2...she then mimics Trump's call for Russia to hack her by - almost word for word - saying the same thing about dems calling for China to hack for Trump's taxes. Then, she said, China starts hacking IRS, but it is deemed not collusion because it was done publicly.....
