    Fox News Talking Head: Democrats are Suicide Bombers Bent on Regicide:


    Joseph diGenova: Well, what you’re seeing is regicide. This is regicide by another name: fake impeachment. The Democrats in the House want to destroy the president. They don’t want to preserve the republic. There’s nothing honorable about what is happening—this is a despicable abuse of constitutional power. If they had, on the floor, a vote to establish an impeachment inquiry, that would give the Democrats subpoena power. But the Democrats aren’t doing that. They want to deny them subpoena power. So what do we get? We get first one anonymous informant, then a second anonymous informant—I refuse to call them “whistleblowers”—these two nonentities are suicide bombers that the Democrats have unleashed on the democratic process. They actually think that the American people are going to accept having people testify secretly without anybody knowing who they are, where they worked, what their party affiliation was, whom they conspired with. It’s pretty obvious that this first suicide bomber who sent that complaint to the inspector general was a paid Democratic operative of the Democratic Party.

    Laura Ingraham: You mean political suicide bomber, obviously, before we start getting people with messages [like] “Oh, he really meant suicide.” Get a sense of humor, OK? If you still think that then you really should watch another show where we have to spell it all out for you.


    https://slate.com/news-and-politics...-ingraham-angle-fox-news-suicide-bombers.html

    As the article points out...


    Ingraham objected to diGenova’s use of the term suicide bomber, . . . but let regicide go by unremarked. The word does have a few nonstandard usages when it describes a person: It can specifically indicate participation in the trials and executions of Charles I of England or Louis XVI of France. But that doesn’t apply here, and not just because those deaths happened in 1649 and 1793, respectively. When used to describe an action, “regicide” is still considered a crime in many jurisdictions, and it has two essential elements:

    1. There is a monarch.
    2. That monarch ends up dead.​

    So Fox puts up a poll showing Trumps is 51% in the toilet.

    Trump gets pissed and takes a dump on Fox.

    Trump sends Barr to tell Murdock to get a grip of his crew and stop being factual.

    Trump praises the top news show on TV.

    Life is back to normal in foxland

    Anybody who was called out by Trump, yeah. It's the White House's station, after all. I don't watch that shit but from everything I read Shep Smith was a real journalist. I'm surprised he made it this long.

    Three days ago Trump decried Fox for polling 51 % pro impeachment. The next day, the Attorney General paid a visit to Rupert Murdoch. Today, the purge is on.

    Of course. Nothing to do with the Barr Murdock meeting.
    How he lasted 30 years with that mob is beyond me.


    Carl Cameron

    "The reality is that without Shep’s show, Fox News’ 24-hour news-wheel is down to the Bret Baier show. Most of the rest is predominantly talk. And the American people need to hear that to make good judgments. Otherwise, it is propaganda, and that’s the stuff of third-world nations, not the one that prides itself as leader of all nations.”

    This may be why Shep left.

    When news breaks and I've watched it on "fake news" channels. I'll often switch over to fox to see their take on it. That's how I learned the Reese's cup were top candy for Halloween. Now and then tho I'll find their spin on the topic. It'd be funny if it wasn't pathetic pap fed to people who crave it.

    If you don't see what it's about, you can't comment on it.
