Thank you as well. So there is a laptop, it probably belonged to Hunter Biden at some point and the contents are a nothing burger. Quelle surprise. ---

Seems likely that the contents were a nothingburger, and at this point it’s been in so many hands, some of whom have a distinct vested interest in it being a somethingburger, that any claimed contents should be viewed with much scepticism until verified. ---

I really thought this was a joke but no, it’s real. If this happened at a respectable news network, someone would lose their job.

You can’t expect prominent Trump indictment coverage when the Bud Light controversy is still raging. ---

I think it’s a good sign, Fox News sees their end coming and just doesn’t care anymore. Of course, some other group of assholes will take up the torch of right wing propaganda, but hopefully they won’t have the success Fox News once claimed. ---

I suspect FoxNews is also suffering from post-Carlson viewer loss and also a slow migration to further-right stations like Newsmax and OANN (you know how it is - the drug you’re used to doesn’t give you the same buzz anymore, and you have to switch to harder stuff). ---
