Just because they were in 2020 and/or in other countries, I don’t see why they aren’t Biden’s fault. ---

Well, that one is from 2012, when Biden was VP, so obviously that is his fault, since he made it his job to tell Angela how to do her job. ---

I think everyone may be missing the subtext here. Obviously Fox is saying Biden and other Democrats should have started a pro-insurrectionist/stop the steal platform after the 2016 election. Had they done so ( and succeeded unlike the weak loser Donald and his people) we would have had President Clinton 2.0 and Democrats in office in 2020 and avoided the worst of the pandemic side effects. (Yeah, that’s the ticket…) ---

Dissention at Fox 🙂 > **[2 Longtime Fox News Contributors Resign Over Tucker Carlson’s Capitol Riot...](https://ca.news.yahoo.com/2-longtime-fox-news-contributors-042924655.html)** > > "It will lead to violence. Not sure how we can stay," Stephen Hayes said, the New York Times reports > [@](#): > > Described as a three-part documentary about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, “Patriot Purge” is filled with conspiracy theories and an assortment of lies about the events of the day – including one that the riot was actually a “false flag” operation designed to make conservatives look bad. After appearing on Fox’s online subscription streaming service on Nov. 1, both men decided to turn in their resignations after working at the network since 2009. > [@](#): > > The resignations landed as Fox Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch said during the annual News Corp investor meeting last week that his goal of advancing a conservative political agenda was being hindered by Trump.“It is crucial that conservatives play an active, forceful role in that debate, but that will not happen if President Trump stays focused on the past. The past is the past, and the country is now in a contest to define the future,” Murdoch said in remarks that [were not made public at the time](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/nov/17/rupert-murdoch-donald-trump-stop-focusing-on-the-past) but have since been reported by multiple outlets.

Stephen Hayes, one of the shitstains resigning from that shitstain, America-hating network, wrote a whole book detailing how Saddam Hussain was responsible for 9/11, or something close enough to that to prove his shitstainhood. I guess his counterfactual conspiracy theories are just fine, but Fucker Carlson’s go a step too far. ---

Conservative columnist, Jonah Goldberg, has jumped ship and is speaking out: > **[Donald Trump’s Megaphone](https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/gfile/donald-trumps-megaphone/)** > > Fox News news hosts knew that Trump’s lies were lies—and they amplified them anyhow. The older I get, the more cynical I become. Some of these types have a finger in the wind, and (to quote Bogey, from _Casablanca_), > I have no conviction, if that’s what you mean. I blow with the wind, and the prevailing wind happens to be from Vichy. Lots of these defections are nothing more than preparing the soil for upcoming book launches or career moves. Goldberg’s ? Dunno. And nothing in Goldberg’s essay is particularly revelatory or shocking. It’s just _more._ “The older I get, the more I realize how much we’re all being manipulated.” – My Mother Amen, Mom, but all things – and both sides – are _not_ equal. I also happen to agree with an implication of Goldberg’s, in that I could more easily stomach Chris Wallace or Bret Baier than pretty much any other personality on that network. ---

> [@DavidNRockies](#): > > I have no conviction, if that’s what you mean. I blow with the wind, and the prevailing wind happens to be from Vichy. Actually that’s Captain Louis Renault’s line (though Bogey’s Rick says not-dissimilar things at various points). ---
