Fox Cares More About Dr. Seuss Than Stopping Biden

March 8, 2021 at 8:30 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Playbook: “The twin crises of disease and recession boosted support for government intervention well beyond what has been tolerated for decades; Donald Trump and the GOP’s own support for the last two bills depolarized the fight over this one; Biden’s opposition was distracted by internal divisions (Jan. 6, impeachment, McCarthy vs. Cheney, Trump vs. McConnell); and the conservative media was distracted by juicier fare than tax policy.”

“If you’ve watched Fox News every night during the Biden presidency (we have), it’s that last point that’s the most notable. We’ve learned a couple of things: 1) The MyPillow guy has really expanded beyond pillows, and 2) Fox’s most-watched hosts care a lot more about cancel culture, Dr. Seuss and antifa’s alleged (but, according to the FBI, nonexistent) role on Jan. 6 than they do about Biden’s American Rescue Plan.”

Republicans want to pretend that the Rescue Plan never happened, that they are as stated the party of the working class and that Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head are the source of the country's woes. Covid doesn't exist, masks are a threat to freedom and any uptick in the economy will be from Donald Trump's brilliant guidance for 4 years. Antifa, of course, is the great danger to the country's security and (like Covid) White Nationalism, Neo-Nazi groups are a myth pushed by those socialist Democrats who also happen to be pedophiles.

This is not a political party. It's a fever dream. And Fox is not a news organization; it's Propaganda Central.
