FXN is in full Hunter mode

Fox has like a dozen stories on Hunter Biden on their main page right now. Stahl pressed Trump on this same issue and he crumbled. So it's not a tenable position.

Does fake news get any faker than this? They aren't even making an attempt to be a balanced news source right now.

I have to say this surprises me a little. They have some decent news programs and solid polls and have to be weighing their options in a post-Trump world. And shredding what's left of their credibility in the next week doesn't seem compatible with that if you ask me.

1. Like it or not, the 2020 election is about Trump...

The more they try to change the subject, it always ends up being about Trump.

He sucks.

3. So they wanna talk about the candidates' offspring?

They wanna go there?

They will rue the day. Turd's larvae are despicable shite, well-documented with photos.

Ivanka plugging Goya in the White House.
Junior and Eric slaughtering endangered species.
Jared stealing PPE.

5. One of Turd's larvae is part of his maladministration.

She is completely fair game. And Turd will go absolutely apeshit if Joe lays a rhetorical finger on her. Which would damage Turd greatly.

This tells me if they're sticking with this nothing-burger, that there's nothing else out there. They're pretty much going to ride the rest of campaign season with this.

7. I mean even if there was any kernel of truth in this Hunter Biden BS it will never work for Trump

No-one in the world can honestly look at Joe Biden and think less of him based on anything his kid may have ever done when they are staring at princess Nepotism Drew and the Hardy Handout Trump boys every day for the past 4 years.

8. What's odd is that OANN isn't in Hunter mode

Their main page looks unremarkable (by conservative news standards).

FXN smells blood in the water. Too bad it may be their own blood.

9. They haven't had any credibility for a long time.

And we should stop saying "but they have some good reporters". It's a propaganda machine with a news division as window dressing.

10. Washington Post has an article just out that quotes Ukrainian prosecutor as saying Hunter did

nothing wrong. The prosecutor was central to Giuliani's claims.
