Last week Fox News misled its viewers about gerrymandering, hyped up a summit with Putin in Alaska, downplayed Trump’s decision to send the National Guard into Washington D.C., demonized a man who hit a federal law enforcement agent with a foot-long Subway sandwich and finally admitted no one really cared about the Sydney Sweeney jeans commercial.
“Fox & Friends,” “The Five,” and “Hannity” boasted to their audiences that a recent poll showed that only 12% of Americans were offended by the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad. Instead of conceding that they spent far too much time, energy and focus on a commercial no one cared about, Fox News personalities portrayed the poll as validation for their excessive coverage.
The jeans ad was a three-week story on the network while the word ‘Epstein’ did not appear once in the transcripts from last week. Fox News is apparently not concerned that its glorious leader might have had sex with minor-aged girls or supported a sex trafficking ring in any way.
