Jan. 6 committee just proved Fox News knowingly lies on air

Jan. 6 committee just proved Fox News knowingly lies on air — but don't expect their viewers to care

After pleading with Meadows for Trump's help, these same Fox News hosts told their audiences that the siege on the U.S. Capitol wasn't Trump's fault, that it wasn't really a Trump riot and that Trump's coup is no threat to democracy. The texts revealed on Monday, however, prove that these folks have spent 11 months lying and gaslighting, and that not one of them believes a single word they say publicly about the attempted coup or the Capitol riot.

But don't hold your breath waiting for the Fox News audience to express outrage that they've been lied to for 11 solid months. Most of them already know the hosts and frequent GOP guests on their favorite network are a bunch of liars. That's why the average Fox News viewer tunes in. They don't care about the truth. They just want to learn the favored lies of the day, so they can parrot them and be active participants in the destruction of American democracy.

They, like Jussie, bore false witness. Purposely, to smear opponents. They used confederates to finger the innocent.

Blaming fake partisans. Blaming Antifa, and BLM, is the same as blaming MAGA hat wearers. And for the same reasons. Only Fox news is Jussie harm times infinity.
