“Fox News is now the fake news,” Greene said Sunday X post, following news that thousands of U.S. troops have arrived in the Middle East, which she opposes. “Brainwashing boomers to support what we voted against.”

The MAGA firebrand was replying to a comment made by fellow conservative commentator Ann Coulter.

“Watching Fox News assure viewers the Iran war is going SUPER well and Trump is a total stud is like watching the same network assure viewers that Dominion Voting Systems rigged the 2020 election and Trump was the winner,” Coulter, who has also appeared on the network over the years, wrote on X Sunday.

Coulter was referring to the scandal that saw Rupert Murdoch’s network pay a settlement $787 million after hosts and guests repeatedly and falsely claimed on air that Dominion voting machines rigged the 2020 presidential election by recording Trump’s votes for former President Joe Biden.

2. Correction: not now, but since it began

You can’t conveniently decide that Fox is bad now when it no longer suits you.

3. Either she has "woken" up,

or more likely, she is calculating how this will help bring her back to relevance and jump start her almost dead political career.

4. It was fake news when they were giving Marge a platform, too.

I wonder how long it's going to take for her to realize that. Or, how long it's going to take her followers to realize she's just as fake as they are.

Going to need a bigger bag for the rat fights...
