Reality catches up with propaganda channel
Ask not for whom the world’s tiniest violin plays — it plays for Fox News. Three months ago the network’s hosts enjoyed unprecedented political power and privileged access to President Donald Trump, the subject of their propaganda. Now its employees are reduced to whining about President Joe Biden not calling on their correspondent during Thursday’s press conference, as their lies on behalf of his predecessor’s effort to steal the election draw a $1.6 billion lawsuit.
Fox’s pity party launched roughly two minutes after the press conference concluded and remained a regular facet of the network’s coverage of the event into Friday morning. Eleven different programs have combined to mention how Biden did not call on Fox White House correspondent Peter Doocy at least 24 times as of 10 a.m. ET, according to a Media Matters review. (Only two programs didn't mention the supposed snub during this time frame.) If you tuned into Fox during the network’s 2 p.m., 3 p.m., 4 p.m., 5 p.m., 6 p.m., 7 p.m., 9 p.m., or 10 p.m. hours on Thursday, or the 5 a.m., 6 a.m., 8 a.m., or 9 a.m. hours on Friday, you heard about it.
While the complaint is featured on “news” and “opinion” programs alike, their arguments are contradictory.
