You can imagine a world where Fox hosts used their unique credibility with their right-wing audience to warn them away from dangerous extremism, but that's not where this is going.

Here's me last August predicting that Fox hosts would inevitably end up claiming that the danger of QAnon was blown out of proportion by Democrats and the media and that it was all an attack on run-of-the-mill Trump supporters. mediamatters.org/qanon-conspira…

I guess I did not expect this to come so soon after a pro-Trump mob featuring QAnon cultusts stormed the Capitol threatening the lives of members of Congress in an attempt to stop the transfer of power, but here we are.
