With Ailes apparently getting shit-canned, their boy Dump's big show in a cluster, can they ignore it all?

(3,284 posts)1. I'd check for you, but that's asking a lot, man...
I don't want to ruin my day.
I'm guessing, however, that the coverage of MelaniaGate isn't nearly as extensive as it is on CNN/MSNBC.

I believe he watches FOX so I'm wondering what kind of deceptive garbage they're spewing.
I'm sorry!
Well, I can tell you that on the other news channels, whenever a Republican talks about this they look like they just swallowed a bug.

BUT not enough to turn on Fox!
I'm sure someone here is monitoring Fox today.

"According to Foxs Stuart Varney, the only reason the media is covering Melania Trumps plagiarized convention speech is because it wants America to be more like bankrupt, socialist Europe and to get us there as fast as possible.
Varney was part of a dual effort to rehabilitate Melania Trump on Fox Business Networks Mornings with Maria program today. Coincidentally, Varney and host Maria Bartiromo adopted the same strategy as the Trump campaign: pretend Trumps plagiarism was a non-issue. As if theyd ever have shown any Democrat such forbearance."
So it's not Melania's fault for plagiarizing, it's the MSM's fault for covering it.
