Report that Trump tried to fire Mueller sends Fox News into a tailspin"Yeah, maybe Donald Trump wanted to fire the special counsel for conflict -- does he not have the right to raise those questions."
AARON RUPAR JAN 26, 2018, 11:47 AM
On Thursday evening, the New York Times broke news that last June, President Trump ordered a White House lawyer to fire special counsel Robert Mueller. The story looks bad for Trump, as it indicates that over a short period of time, he twice tried to fire officials overseeing an investigation of his campaign.
At first, Trumps favorite TV network Fox News pretended the story didnt exist. While the other cable networks covered it, Fox News was talking about a 2005 photo of President Obama with Louis Farrakhan.
A short time later, Sean Hannity tried to deny the Times report, telling his viewers that our sources and Ive checked in with many of them theyre not confirming that tonight.
But Hannity was wrong Fox News Ed Henry had in fact confirmed the Times reporting. (So did Politico, the Washington Post, and CNN.)

The MSNBC shows...beautiful! I think everyone should adopt the term Chris Hayes made up the other day for Fux Ruse..."T*RUMP TV". If that propaganda network is permanently linked to the Fucking Moron it would help us in future elections.
