Fox & Friends to viewers: "You don't want the report. You want the summary."

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/03/fox-friends-reassures-viewers-dont-need-see-mueller-report-just-trust-barrs-summary/

“The summary thing, everyone is probably thankful they don’t have to read the 300 pages,” she said. “We all will, probably, but you at home, you’re probably not going to sit down and read 300 pages, you want the summary.”

Co-host Brian Kilmeade then compared accepting Barr’s summary to reading the CliffsNotes of famous books, which he said was sufficient enough for most people to get the gist of what great literature is really about.

... empirically wrong.

This is more evidence that Barr lied ...

Red Don et al don't care about "shameful" ... they care about lawful ... there has to be some unlawful stuff in there.

I wonder how often during the day this is repeated about how bothersome it would be to have to read the full report. I'd bet almost every show says it a little different way. They just keep drilling it in. They are so damn good at it. It ought to be illegal.

That kind of excludes anybody working for Trump, and all of Faux Nooze, for starters.
