Fox News Defends Blagojevich Pardon: Public Corruption Shouldn't Be A Factor

Lisa Boothe was especially adamant that there are only two kinds of crimes -- violent and nonviolent. Violation of the public trust to these shills is a non-factor.
By John Amato

Who knew Fox News viewers are only for long prison sentences for unconscionable violent offenders like mob hitmen?

After Trump issued his imbecilic pardons yesterday, the Tuesday evening lineup on Fox News state-sponsored Trump TV went virtually mum on the entire issue because it's pretty much indefensible and is the essence of filling the swamp with scumbag criminals who give a middle finger to public trust.

Reed Richardson highlighted the entire evening schedule and how state TV handled it and it is quite revealing.

Destroying the stock markets, preying on the voting population and using high office to enrich themselves are all now "nonviolent offenses" covered by Saint Trump's criminal justice reform measure which was bipartisan, wholly incremental and nothing he actually participated in.

And then we come to Bernard Kerik, a constant presence on Fox News back in the day.

the fanatical conservative media does exactly what he wanted.

Advancing the march toward a chrisofascist authoritarian state.
