I watch/read Fox 'News' so that you don't have to. Frankly, Maddow's interview of Parnas was so big that I thought they'd ignore it completely. They know that their viewers exist in a Fox News bubble, and if they didn't see it on Fox, it didn't happen. So, any story that's bad for President Twitler, they either ignore, or do some spectacular context manipulation to spin it in their favour. (Basically, do a 'Bill Barr job' on the story. Telling their dumbass viewers that it says the opposite of what it really DOES say, and then hope nobody reads the original source. ) That's the part I find most amusing.
So, I was sure they'd ignore the Maddow interview completely. But no, they decided to get cute, and try a "Barr Summary" spin job instead. The story is buried at the bottom of their page, with the LINK TITLE:
Dems Undercut.
After following the link, the full story has the full title:
Parnas, in rare interview, undermines House Dems' claims that Trump team surveilled Ukraine ambassador.
They devote their entire story to Parnas saying he didn't believe Robert "Blob" Hyde was really having people stalk Ambassador Yovanovitch, and that these were just the insane ramblings of a perpetual drunk.
Smooth move, wing nuts. Now all your fans will tune in to Maddow's interview to see the 'Dems get undercut,' and see the REAL interview. Fortunately, however, they're getting absolutely HAMMERED in the comments section for their misleading use of the interview. I think it's only a matter of time before they turn the comments section off.
