If Fox News lets its regular primetime hosts cover an ongoing siege of the Capitol tonight, they might as well close down the news division altogether.
They're gonna do three hours of whataboutism and bad faith bullshit hosted by the president's part-time Cabinet? Really?
We have not been forced to deal with the responses of Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters.

Here's Lou Dobbs and Rep. Mo Brooks baselessly speculating that the hundreds of insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol today actually may have included antifa false flag elements.
Now Sarah Palin, on a Fox "news" show, says "we don't know who all were the instigators in this of these horrible things that happen today, I think a lot of it is the antifa folks" per "pictures she was sent, no response at all from Martha MacCallum.

There is no Fox "news" side.
Lou Dobbs was more skeptical of this bullshit that MacCallum, who Fox bills as one of its flagship anchors.

You can start seeing the Trumpist media's response to the insurrectionist mob sacking the U.S. Capitol to disrupt the peaceful transition of power coming together -- in its full force it will look like this.
1. Of course the violence is wrong, but it's DC government's fault for not doing enough to secure the Capitol.
2. It's shameful for Democrats, the media, and RINOs to blame any of this on the president or his congressional and media allies.

Two hours debate times what, six states where Republicans have pushed false voter fraud claims, plus time to vote on each of them and time for Senators to move back and forth each time....

This could take a while...
The longer it takes, the more bored and restless the protesters may become...
Not great...

President Trump will make many calls and have many meetings and tweet a bunch of Fox segments.

Fox News is Misinformer of the Year for 2020, the first time @mmfa has given the distinction to the network as a whole.

This year was a low point in Fox’s shameful history, and none of its employees should ever live it down.
mediamatters.org/fox-news/misin…
Fox’s misinformation had a direct impact on the lives of every single American this year, whether they watched the network or not. The nation suffered the consequences of the feedback loop between President Trump and his personal propaganda outlet.
Fox spent 2020 recklessly minimizing the pandemic as it took the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. It’s impossible to calculate how many might still be alive if the network had treated the virus as a real threat to the health of its viewers and the general public.
