Fox News has declared a mistrial

Caught a snippet while at a customer’s house.

“What do you think?” asked one vapid shitstain. “Is it fair to call this a mistrial?”

“Oh, it’s a mistrial,” parroted an equally vapid propagandist. “It’s a mistrial for so, so many reasons.”

Got that? It’s a mistrial for reasons.

They don’t bother to enumerate those reasons, other than some hand-waving about “salacious testimony,” but the lie that they want their fuckhead viewers to absorb is “it’s a mistrial.”

For reasons.

I see where Fox News reported that the judge has rejected the defense's motion to declare a mistrial.

The headline:

"NY v Trump: Judge denies motion for mistrial amid Stormy Daniels testimony
Stormy Daniels has been testifying in Trump's criminal trial"

... and what gets said by the MAGA blow up dolls on their infotainment cable broadcasts are often entirely different.

It's less then 5% of the adult population when one looks at the ratings.

The sources that say that Fox News has half the nation brainwashed are blow up dolls on infotainment cable broadcasts.

That's the only possible mistrial reason he has right now.

I bet you he fires his lawyers this week.

They're attorneys of record, and only the judge can remove them. That's my understanding. (IANAL--I just listen to the legal eagles on the telly...)

Is there a daily fax of today's poutrage that goes out to all these clowns?
