[WATCH] Democratic Lawmaker Calls Out Fox News For Not Airing Jan 6th Hearings
The GOP love to avoid the truth no matter what it is, from the smallest inconvenient facts to the biggest whoppers, like the 2020 Presidential election was stolen and January 6th was just another tourist visit. Living like an ostrich only works for so long, but even when they occasionally come up for air, it’s just to gulp down some more propaganda before going dark again. If they can’t see it, it can’t hurt them, you know!
Fox News was created specifically as entertainment occasionally pretending to be news just to keep the willfully obtuse poorly educated focused on the bright and shiny thing to distract them from the scary ugly truths of the world. And while the occasional moments of reality do poke through, like whenever they interview Pete Buttigieg, most of the time Fox News seems like it’s still somehow broadcasting from 2015.
Over on Foxtrump Central, you wouldn’t know that anything out of the ordinary took place on January 6, 2021. That day over seventeen months ago was no big deal, just a few loyal MAGA folks–such fine people!–showing their love and support for the Great MAGA King Baby. No laws broken, not even by those actually charged with felonies, nuh uh! It was all Black Lives Matter Antifa people, dontcha know? Oh, are there some lingering questions after seventeen whole months?
Sheesh, whatevs, we’ll be over here making prime teevee about *checks notes* SCOTUS and the Roe decision, which isn’t at all an intentional scheduling decision by our people on the Supreme Court, and definitely not by Clarence “My wife and I only talk about ‘The Amazing Race’ and what’s for dinner” Thomas.
Fox “News” ran 1,098 primetime segments on Benghazi from the attack until the committee hearings, which they carried live for over 7 hours.
Today the network announced it won’t cover the hearings on the January 6th insurrection.
Conclusive proof that Fox isn’t NEWS at all.

All of this is to say, Fox News, which to this day will mention Benghazi and Hunter Biden before ever reporting on the Proud Boys being charged with seditious conspiracy, is going to keep lying to their audience.
Fox News says they can’t air the January 6 hearings because they’ll be too busy chanting “Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi! Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!!” the entire time. 😆

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), like so many of us, has had it with them. The difference is that Cohen can go on CNN and try to shame the shameless while the rest of us grumble from our sides of the screen.
