It doesn’t matter what the newspapers say. It only matters what is on Fox News.

What’s the headlines on the Right Wing media?

They’ve already forced Vindland into hiding, what’s happened with Sondland?

Sondland’s quid pro quo admission during his testimony made a splash on the front page of papers

‘‘made a splash’’ ??

Looks more like ‘‘dominated’’ to me.

Yeah, no surprise.

But if you notice at the bottom right, they don’t even like the new ‘Frozen II’ movie, so why should I believe these guys?

He reportedly is unhappy with Fox because they interviewed Congressman Swalwell. And if he’s not furious with Fox today, it will only be because he hasn’t been watching:

Exactly what I was going to say. Only Fox Pravda has the truth

I read yesterday that Fox had the most eyeballs during the impeachment hearings. From what I can gather, between two and three fifths of all the people watching them, watched on Fox. They put the best right-wing spin on everything.

If you have heard of this documentary:

The Brainwashing of My Dad is a 2015 documentary film directed by Jen Senko about her father’s transformation from a nonpolitical Democrat into a political Republican. The film was mostly funded by a Kickstarter campaign.

It was interesting to watch the woman behind the film talk about it to a group of people:

They still are not saying that tRUmp must go… All the newspapers are doing it trying the both sides do it as I expect come the weekend all stories will be directed away from the impeachment. As usual I also expect that the Sunday Yak Fest will feature 9 of 10 REPUGS as guests.

People who want to believe what Fox says will do so and nothing will change their minds, probably not even if Fox were to make a 180 degree turnaround.

But it does matter what the papers say, and what the headlines say especially. 30% of the people out there haven’t made up their minds about impeachment. Even if only half of that percentage begins to say, yeah, this guy really shouldn’t be president, it’s huge.
