Watching Fox News - Interesting.

Last edited Wed Jan 22, 2020, 06:11 PM - Edit history (1)

I've often been keeping the trial on mute. I decided to watch Fox for a while to see what's going on with the whatcha-ma-callit at the bottom. They're reporting what's being said pretty accurately. So maybe some Trumpers will actually get the message. Whether or not they absorb it is another question.

Edit: I was preparing to add to this that Fox was way better than CNN with its whatcha-ma-callit at the bottom of the screen. It reported content, while CNN stuck with Dem managers present case (or something like that). But then I saw that Fox would break away from the floor for talking heads and commercials.

saying Democrats are just presenting nonsense arguments.

Most Fox viewers will never have any clue how compelling the Democrats' arguments have been.

She isn't. She'll tune in tonight to see Tucker Carlson, Hannity and Ingraham. I actually thought she'd tune in for this. Oh well
