81. Have you watched any Fox News lately?

Jun 2022

I tuned in today at the top of the hour, I believe it was around one o'clock. I wanted to see how they were spinning the 1/6 committee hearings or if they were saying anything at all about it to their audience. Started off with "Joe Biden's terrible ratings and his policies are causing all the inflation" followed by "Kamala Harris' terrible job on the border" and "she never works on weekends". Those are all they talked about the first 30 minutes or so and then I shut it off. Not a word had been said about the Trump insurrection hearings.

With Fox News' lies being spewed 24/7 it's little wonder Biden's polling is being pulled down.
