My general sense at this point is that it's very clear that the Republican Party is more interested in winning QAnon votes than keeping them out of power, and we're going to see years of soft support for their aims.
Gonna see a lot of Republican politicians talking about human trafficking and expressing scorn to reporters who question them about it.
Trump's closing argument is whatever he sees on Fox.
Left, Fox & Friends, 6:05 a.m.
Doocy: Biden "did appear to call President Trump George twice before getting back on track."
Right, Trump, 7:30 a.m.
Left, Fox & Friends, 6:06 a.m.
Pence: "We're going to defeat the virus."
Right, Trump, 7:36 a.m.
Fox has referenced this incident several times this morning but hasn't played the video. What Biden said: "Four more years of George, um, George, gonna find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected, we’re gonna be in a different world.” "
Fox is telling Trump to fire the FBI director for not helping his reelection campaign, and he's listening: mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-t…
Fox personalities have been calling for Christopher Wray's firing for quite some time because they think he hasn't helped out their "deep state" conspiracy theories enough.
Now they've added his unwillingness to publicly announce a Biden investigation to the list of reasons for the FBI director's removal.
Fox News is now pushing for Barr or Trump to appoint a special counsel to investigate the Hunter Biden smear story. It is is reminiscent of the network’s successful campaign to get a House Select Committee on Benghazi. mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-p…
Reminder: The premise of "Obamagate," which Trump has called the biggest scandal ever, is that Obama secretly ordered investigations to damage Trump politically.
The plan for if Biden wins seems to pretty obviously be to do the thing Fox has been claiming for years that Obama did -- start a partisan investigation to hamstring the new administration.
Every presidential election since that era has featured at least one controversy involving Sinclair’s open support for the Republican nominee. mediamatters.org/sinclair-broad…
2004: Sinclair ordered stations to pre-empt regular programming and broadcast a documentary that smeared Kerry's war record(under pressure they backed off and aired a special featuring portions of the documentary instead).
2008: Sinclair aired a conservative group’s swing state advertisement linking Obama to Weather Underground founder Bill Ayers. CNN and Fox News had both declined to run the ad.
