My latest: Trump's Ukraine scandal is a Fox News story. The right-wing network is implicated in nearly every aspect of it, and is central to the Republican defense. mediamatters.org/fox-news/trump…
"Fox’s role -- and particularly that of Sean Hannity, the network star who also privately advises the president -- was central to every phase of the story. "
Fox's programming "has become central to Trump’s impeachment defense, with the president frequently tweeting about Fox commentary he likes, or even sending out raw video of the network’s propagandistic segments."

Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth is very excited about Trump's war crimes pardons, says we shouldn't have "second-guessed" the recipients. His show is basically why the pardons happened.
Hegseth is very sure that the troops now know the president has their back if they have to make a split-second decision. He is mute on the ones who turned in their fellow soldiers for the crimes and testified against them.
Pete Hegseth introduces an interview with Mathew Golsteyn as follows: "Military heroes accused or convicted of so-called war crimes under fire from the very government they volunteered to serve. Now President Trump has taken action."

Cantor doesn't seem to know how witnesses are going to respond to his questions which I dunno as lawyering goes seems bad?
IANAL but my understanding from TV shows is good lawyers anticipate the answers and lay out lines of questioning to put particular facts on the record?
I was really hoping Castor's line of questioning about why Yovanovitch didn't do more to push back against right-wing media conspiracy theories against her was going to conclude with, "Shouldn't you have donated to @mmfa?" but alas.

With Roger Stone guilty on all counts, a reminder that Fox News has been running an aggressive campaign to secure him a presidential pardon. mediamatters.org/sean-hannity/f…
Tucker Carlson has been particularly focused on Stone's need for a pardon. mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson… mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson…
The Fox News pardon pipeline is a thing: mediamatters.org/sean-hannity/f…

@jimmykimmel had @JoeBiden on tonight. It was disspicable, full of lies and insults.

They were joking about @realDonaldTrump's Space Force. I'm sure though if China or Russia set off a couple of EMP attacks - they would be very thankful.

The biggest threat to America is an EMP attack. One missile could knock out half the country. An EMP attack has been the biggest threat to the #USA It has been brought up to @JoeBiden and @BarackObama they did nothing. Almost like they wanted it to happen.

@JoeBiden is running his campaign on the lie @POTUS called neo nazi' s fine people.

Here is a transcript of that FULL transcript.

Hey Joe, how much does China pay for military technology secrets and blue prints?

Am I allowed to be outraged by this, or does that make me "antisemitic" ?

- Video of a Palestinian child being assaulted by Israeli police this morning.
By @syedakif17

Isreali goons dressed in uniforms violating basic human rights of Palestinians 24/7.

Constitution of Israel is based on Talmud where Goyims have no rights.

If a Zionist kill anyone, he's not to be punished, he's owns gentiles.

#Ukraine ex-president #Yanukovych at press conference today mentioned my #Maidan massacre study along with TV documentaries about Maidan snipers by Italian & Israeli journalists (17m). #Ukrainian #media reports omitted his reference to my academic study.
#Ukrainian publication that mentioned it misrepresented my last name & falsely claimed that I told Yanukovych about my study findings. This was done even though his reference to my study is available in press-conference broadcasts of Ukrainian TV channels. dsnews.ua/politics/uchen…
This is latest example of cover-up, censorship & fake news concerning Maidan massacre & my academic study of this crucial case of mass kiling for Ukraine and the world.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
