Much has been made of how Fox “News” has degenerated into something between President Trump’s propaganda arm and his shock troops. And many Americans are still somewhat unaware of how unfair and unbalanced this spigot of misinformation has become. After all, what sane person would want to spend their time watching this unceasing river of drool?
Luckily, someone had the fortitude to do it for us. Media Matters for America has posted a compilation of the unhinged way the network has been amplifying the White House’s unhinged conspiracy charges against its own Justice Department.
This is jaw-droppingly beyond irrational. This is a rusty razor being violently drawn back and forth across the throat of American discourse. No, there is no way to have a normal discussion with these people. They are using their words and their platform to poison not just discourse but American justice itself. What they are saying is simply an inflammatory exercise in justice subversion.
Where would you begin? Would you say, “Let’s get the facts and then let the legal system of the United States determine their seriousness and apportion consequences, you know, as it does”? They would froth back at you about the most corrupt “Deep State conspiracy” since the dawn of cuneiform tablets. And if you tried to unpack any of their assertions, good luck to you.
