Joy Behar Says Fox News Won't Air Jan. 6 Hearings in Primetime Because 'They're Implicated

Joy Behar is pretty sure she knows why Fox News won’t be airing the January 6 hearings in full during primetime hours this week. The host of “The View” thinks it’s because the network itself — or at least some of its employees — is implicated in the case.

On Monday, it was reported that Fox would be the only major network that won’t be carrying the hearings live in full, opting instead to keep their primetime line-up intact and breaking away to cover the hearings “as news warrants.” So, to kick off Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” Behar made her theories pretty clear.

“I think that Fox is implicated in the events of that day, isn’t it?” Behar said. “I mean, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity and Brian Kilmeade [were] begging Mark Meadows to get the President, Trump, to stop the attack. So, now they’re saying the opposite? They’re implicated in the day, so of course they don’t want to report that.”

Though Fox News itself won’t be covering the hearings in full, other members of the Fox family of channels will. Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum will co-anchor live coverage on Fox Business network, and FOX News Audio will also present live coverage of the hearings in full, both beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Coverage will also be livestreamed on FOX News Digital and FOX Nation.

There have been multiple accusations that he had been in communication with the White House on a regular basis throughout the years Trump was in office, as well as probably being in on the planning of the events of that day. He has been a Trump water carrier the whole time. Won't be surprised if they implicate LaLa, Killmeade, and others, as well. And, Greg Kelly and others from Newsmarx.

AND WIN, because either the logic holds, or it doesn't (and corporate capitalism as we have known it for 150 years goes out the window).

Go ahead, Republicans, PLACE that fuckin bet.

And it's a good thing.

Could they be shut down because of their participation in the whole fiasco? I hope so.

And this insurrection borders upon treason and the penalty for treason is death, can we execute Fox News? Disband them and ban all their talking heads from any FCc licensed entity? Please? Please?
