‘They Prefer Their Sedition Made Fresh On-Site’: Critics Rage Over Fox News Plan To Air January 6th Committee On Fox Business
Daily WireAPR 2022
Fox News is rolling out its toxic right-wing tropes to distract from Jan 6. and the role their on-air talent has played is downplaying its severity. An onslaught of xenophobia and transphobia has already started to air in the run-up to the historic public hearings.
Fox viewers don't want to see a partisan committee disinterested in finding out what really happened on the day of the riot. Cue the liberal tears, and enjoy your regularly scheduled programming.
Last week, Fox News decimated its competition as the most-watched primetime cable network, even vaulting over ESPN and TNT's coverage of the NBA playoffs. With 1.3M viewers, why change its formula - especially when other channels will be saturated with simultaneous coverage of the hearings? This is about business and ratings.
