January 6 hasn't been mentioned a single time during today's edition of Fox News's Outnumbered show. But they have found time for these hard-hitting stories.

Oliver North is still alive. He says that if Biden doesn’t honor his commitments to Ukraine, China will invade and take over Iran. (I think he meant Taiwan, but Fox audience won’t notice).

Elise Stefanik says the J6 hearing was “a political circus” because it was held at night. “A typical serious congressional hearing happens during the day, typically starting at 10 AM.”
So, we have hearings this week that ARE starting at 10AM. What's she going to call those?

It's bad enough these asshat media outlets post bullshit, but it drives their idiot viewers to this.

I'm dying. Popped over to Fox to see what they're reporting. Jesse Watters is all over Pelosi's husband's DUI problem and reading off emails from viewers. OMG, I knew Wenatchee is a challenge for out of staters, but damn, he just took the prize for butchering it. It was like WAAAAHnatchee. :roll: :brickwallsmall:

Hey so I was watching OAN on Rumble and their new business model is subscribe to OAN Live (which is presumably online) for 4.99 per month. A fraction of the cost of cable, sez they.

OK, so I've listened to almost an hour of Fox's America's Newsroom so you don't have to :bighug:

Not one mention of yesterday's hearing. Not. One. They're all over the economy and stock market (yeah, that's important, but still...). Big focus on security for Supreme Court justices (yeah, that's important), but they went on and on and even a clip of McCarthy preaching speaking on about it and the big mean lefties that protest at judge's houses (I am not a fan of protesting at private homes). All over protests and vandalism at Pro Life clinics. Didn't hear anything about Hunter's laptop, so for once they weren't beating :horse:

But not one word about yesterday's hearing that all the other MSM shows are covering full stop :shrug:

The name "Eastman" hasn't been said on Fox & Friends this morning; the program's sole coverage of yesterday's hearing is this 20-second news brief.
I forgot one VERY IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS ITEM I saw on America's Newsroom. They broke in to show Sen. Tim Scott speaking live at some Faith and Freedumb forum. For realz. He started it off with "I have a dream". :mad:

The sole mentions of Eastman after the 6 p.m. hour yesterday were Mark Levin saying that he was right.

Caught some of the Faulkner Focus on Fox News coming back from dropping kiddo off at camp. I won't bother wading into the weeds here, but suffice to say, everything good that happened while Trump was president happened solely because of Trump, and no other president could have done it, while everything bad that happened under Trump was inevitable, and would have happened without regard to who was president. In contrast, everything good that has happened under Biden was inevitable, and would have happened without regard to who was president, while everything bad that has happened under Biden happened solely because of Biden, and definitely would not have happened were Trump president.

I flipped over for a small bit. They're all fired up over crime in I think San Francisco and also shooting and not even safe to go to church.

If only there was something that could be done about gun violence like the GOP voting for some sort of gun regulations. :brickwallsmall: :brickwallsmall:

You misspelled "more parishioners being armed" and "hiring armed security."

Many of the republicans and people in general have a lot of legitimate complaints about how they've been treated and what's going on in the country--poverty, taxes, lack of opportunities, etc. What drives me crazy is that these TV purveyors of fake news have convinced them over the last 25 years that the Democrats are the cause. I don't think you have to pay a lot of attention to understand that that's generally not true, but when the only news you trust is faux, you will never know.

I am not saying the Democrats don't share blame. All you have to do is look at the fact that they never legislated the right to an abortion.

Is this Fox shifting the goalposts and trying to get the narrative away from the Loudermilk kerfuffle? I kid you not, the very first story of the day as F&f opened was this.

OMFG, they were filming comedy routines after the building was closed and they were going to make fun of elected people in the United States Congress.

That's death penalty for certain. Those poor schlubs. :violin: :crying:

I can't say 100% this is a fact, because I was dozing while Fox was on, but a mention was made that Boebert may have been the congress person who called in the complaint - so grain of salt.

Well Joe Biden fell while getting off his bike this morning, so that’s pretty much going to be the only thing on right wing social media today. Good times.
