The Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo will reportedly soon be getting a chance to audition for a primetime Fox News slot. And based on her performance Monday morning, telling fantasyland stories about the mob that attacked the Capitol may just be part of the job.
We need to get back some Constitutional version of the Fairness Doctrine. Bartiromo is worthy of snark, but we are going to have generations of people dramatically ill-informed with this Murdoch pack of lies.
The first effort would be to prohibit these lying scumbags from using the word “News” in their name. Fox Network, Fox Corp, Fox Broadcasting or just Fox is fine, but Fox News is anything but, and lends an undeserved veneer of credibility to a network made up primarily of Republican disinformation.
They lying in the media really has to be punished somehow, because these media sources are poisoning the conversation in the nation. An outright lie like this has to be met with some kind of refutation, these things just can’t stand when they are causing people to disconnect from reality. It’s something that the Biden DoJ should look into, there has to be some kind of law against propaganda inciting violence that can be used against all this lying.
Prior to Trump becoming POTUS, I wasn’t aware that she was…shall we say…deplorable, likely because I never watcher her, listened to her, or read about her.
Will Cain needs to be kicked in the teeth. The “rioters” had weapons and used them. The “rioters” had zip-tied handcuffs and would have used them if they had encountered a desired target. The only difference between them and McVeigh is that he was a lone wolf who wanted to kill many as his goal. They were a wolfpack that was incompetent at obtaining their goal, which was to kill our democracy.
Which is worse…killing 168 people and injuring around 800+, or destroying democracy for 330,000,000 while perhaps assassinating multiple politicians and perhaps starting a bloody civil war during a deadly pandemic?
A cursory review of photos and videos of the redneck trash storming the Capitol is enough to provide conclusive proof that there were no Democrats in that crowd.
Joe cannot “bring America together” with this kind of propaganda masquerading as “news”. In addition to it being outright lies, it takes advantage of people’s ignorance and misplaced bitterness.
