    This is the same “news” that during the evening “news” reported on some Democrats meeting in congress by playing the audio of their meeting over video of chimpanzees in a zoo. They don’t care about truth or honesty in the least bit, they’ve even argued in court that they aren’t news.

    That was not an honest mistake. There’s no reason to use old footage of a current president at a current event when you’re there recording the event live for your live TV show.

    How fucking stupid must the republicans be to actually believe this tripe. It has to be wilful ignorance at this point.

      Blatantly manipulating people is genuinely the only reason FOX exists. It’s like those CIA-operated radio stations in Central American banana republics in the 60’s, it’s a straight up psyop- only it’s targeting US citizens.

    So they are upset Fox is trying to cover up Trump being disrespectful? Or they are upset Fox is not helping him sell hats by airing the footage of him with the hat?

    I was confused at first because the footage I saw, I think from one of the networks and/or local news showed him with the stupid hat. So I’m not sure what Fox is trying to pull here.

    So his supporters are going to again ignore an instance of Donald Trump demonstrating he doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself? Must be a day that ends in ‘Y’.

    A guy walked into my job asking the typical customer questions, and his hat was red with ‘47’ patch in the center. I was at work but as soon as he left I began cursing his progeny.
