I'm channel hopping and the talking heads on all of the networks are talking about the witness

intimidation and the White House siding with the corrupt. Well, all but Fox, which is airing regular programming. The List is on now and The People's Court is coming up. Goddamned cowards.

Trump's tweet just reinforces the belief that he knows he's in deeply serious trouble.

2. fox news channel is carrying the hearing. Reporters seem straight from what I've heard.

A typical fox commentator is saying that this witness [the Ambassador] has not said anything to move the 'bribery allegation' forward.

5. FOX affiliates are NOT FOX News.

They are independently owned, and usually do not broadcast anything from FOX News channel.

8. They've broken in on regular programming before. It's the same as any other network affiliate.

They break in regularly when there's a "presidential this or that." I've seen it.

13. The content is. The license is owned by FOX Corp.

And the affiliates are independents who lease the license.

Except for a brief couple of minutes to see if Fox News was carrying it which they are.

9. I'm talking about the ENTERTAINMENT network, not the "news" channel. It's just like any other

network. They have the power to break in on programming just like ABC, NBC, CBS. I've seen Brett Baier break into regular programming when trump does or says something. They've chosen not to with the hearings. I AM being "accurate."

15. I think some of the "local" affiliate Fox channels are independently-owned

and others are owned by (I believe) Disney.

Here in Philly, our local "Fox29" used to be an independent channel before the Fox (entertainment) network bought it as it was in a major media market.

I just checked and that local channel here has been streaming it locally on their Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/fox29philadelphia/videos/3509863912364593/

and have been streaming Faux Snooze coverage on their webpage - https://www.fox29.com/news/very-intimidating-ousted-ukraine-ambassador-responds-to-trumps-twitter-attack-during-impeachment-hearings
