According To Fox News, Blue Lives DON'T Matter. At Least, Not For Police Officers Killed By...

...TRUMP supporters.

I couldn't believe what I saw (and didn't see) yesterday. All the other networks covered the state funeral for Officer Sicknick in the Capitol live. Meanwhile, Fox News pundits were blathering about LeBron James. Carlson, Hannity, and Ingraham ignored what was going on; and Ingraham only mentioned it once during the handover. The next morning, Fox & Friends didn't even mention it. Although, Brian Kilmead did manage to find ten minutes to whine about 'the liberal cable networks' removing COPS from their show lineup because, according to Kilmead, it made police officers look 'too good.'

I guarantee that if a police officer had been killed during a BML protest, they'd be showing the funeral on B-roll continuously for six months. The cheap hypocrisy is mind boggling.

...that they barely MENTIONED it last night. But I couldn't believe when they didn't say a single word about it this morning on FUX & FIENDS. A STATE FUNERAL in the United States CAPITOL, and they didn't say a word, or show one second of footage about it. The silence was DEAFENING!

Then followed on a story attacking LeBron......I can't imagine their coverage had it been demacrats attacking the Capitol.

The day that FUX NOISE fails to show the funeral of a policeman who was killed in a riot, because they knew THEY were partly responsible for it, is the day that poisonous network can start planning their OWN funeral.
