Hearing FOX hosts pleading with Meadows on Jan 6

Hearing FOX hosts pleading with Meadows on Jan 6 really shows how FOX and the right-wing media are very much a part of shaping TFG agenda. The idea that they could call Meadows and weigh in on the effect the riot would have on their narrative is very telling.

Of course we've known this all along, but it's always kind of stunning when you get actual proof.

They had no concerns whatsoever over the loss of lives or damage that was being displayed.
Let alone that a violent insurrection was taking place in real time against the basic foundation of our nation.

Biden's Chief of Staff in such a chummy way? I can't. It just wouldn't happen.

And, in a way they are, very similar to the way Joseph Goebbels was part of Hitler's administration. Those authoritarians always need their propagandists.

to discuss things and make sure they were all on the same page. They probably still have meetings with Trump. Sickening.
