Gotta keep pushing that false narrative
Once again, the main factors for the power outages are "frozen instruments at natural gas, coal and even nuclear facilities, as well as limited supplies of natural gas" and wind turbine shutdowns accounted for "less than 13%" of the outages.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Juan Williams points out that the vast majority of Texas outages were due to frozen fossil fuel and nuclear generators, only for Jesse Watters to stick with the Fox narrative:

"Okay, so all the video we’ve seen of the frozen wind turbines is fake news, Juan?"
And as to the wind turbines, maybe the issue is more that Texas went cheap on it and figured they didn't need to ever worry about de-icing.

There are windmills in both the Arctic and Antarctica.

Fox has found its THING to be outraged about today.
Seriously, every single day Fox News will find some columnist's op-ed to completely lose their minds over and devote all-day coverage to.
can't stop, won't stop

Looks like we have a new Fox News Talking Point.

Harris Faulkner: "Our power panel on critics calling out Democrats’ double standard as they push to strip a Republican congresswoman of committee assignments"
Yeah, this is going to be their THING today
This is ALWAYS the playbook they run to when they can't defend what a Republican does -- they complain about a DOUBLE STANDARD and say "what about this situation that isn't even remotely comparable?"

CNN and MSNBC: Live coverage of Officer Snitnick's remains arriving at the Capitol.

Hannity: Woman ejected from Lakers game for heckling LeBron.
I swear to GOD I did not copy this tweet lol

Fox News continues to ignore the ceremony, because apparently it's more important to give Scott Atlas airtime to talk shit about Dr. Fauci.

They went this entire segment without once bringing up Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was the main subject of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's complaints about the GOP having "white supremacist sympathizers" in their midst. Image
Fox News is really going out of its way to criticize AOC for her "white supremacist sympathizers" comments about the GOP while simultaneously not mentioning Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is at the center of AOC's remarks.

Here's another example where Greene's name never came up:
Marie Harf: "We are all for unity, but not with white supremacists, and not for people who, like Marjorie Taylor Greene--"

Sandra Smith: "But didn’t [AOC] just paint with a broad brush the Republican Party?"

Harf: "No, she didn’t, Sandra."

Amazing
Apparently, companies should be forced to donate money to political candidates who abetted a deadly insurrection... otherwise, you know, CANCEL CULTURE!
Fox News' Howie Kurtz: "There is a much broader issue, which is a calculated attempt to make Donald Trump and anyone associated with him radioactive in the marketplace. I understand there is criticism over the Capitol insurrection, but some of this is looking vindictive."
