Fox cut away from Swalwell's presentation of horror

[Cyrano]

When Congressman Eric Swalwell began showing those terrifying videos, Fox decided to go back to their regular programming. After all, why confuse their viewers with a dreadful look at reality? (Like everyone else, I was glued to Swalwell's mind-boggling presentation. I googled Fox later.)

The Republican senators who were present however, couldn't switch to an alternate reality. Regarding those who sat there ignoring those videos and busying themselves with something else, one really has to question their basic humanity. But even most of those senators who watched will still probably vote to acquit a monster. Seems they will cling to power even in the face of unspeakable horrors. Sometimes, I really wonder if they are descended from the same species as the rest of us.

1. Cutting away from the coverage is an example of how propaganda works.

It is manipulation of the viewer by limiting information. Fox has this technique perfected.

2. I was thinking... can they be so stupid as to think that

if they don’t watch the videos or pay attention to the evidence they can justify acquittal because it just didn’t seem that “bad” to them?? Truth is, I have an impossible time trying to think like a Deplorable.

3. When Doocy's spawn asks a question

of Jen Psaki, she should turn it around and ask him about this editorial decision.

I know it is difficult, but can a large enough issue be made by using up political capital to break through the firewall?

4. I am glad this is getting reported. They also did this when Ted Lieu was presenting his part

of the case

5. There's an op-ed in today's NY Times that

does more that just report it. Columnist Nicholas Kristof believes that Fox, Newsmax, AONN, etc. should be on trial along with the monster.
