Thus speaks Fox News
Fox News无毛视频� Jeanine Pirro exaggerates a lot.
That无毛视频檚 her style.
A couple of weeks ago, she engaged in some hyperbole about the tense situation involving truckers along the U.S.-Canadian border.
President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had discussed the truckers无毛视频� blockades at key bridges.
That set Pirro off.
As one of the Fox News co-hosts of the show, 无毛视频淭he Five,无毛视频� Pirro is tasked with aggressively finding out something wrong 无毛视频� and that Biden caused it, I suppose.
无毛视频淏iden, the same guy who in the summer of 2020 decided he would allow people to burn down streets and businesses and create all kinds of problems,无毛视频� Pirro declared.
Therein lies a problem.
In the summer of 2020, Biden wasn无毛视频檛 even the president. He held no public office.
Pirro somehow found fault in something Biden hadn无毛视频檛 done, but she blamed him for it anyway.
Thus speaks Fox News.
Biden is the source of daily ridicule on Fox News.
The only times they lay off Biden is when there无毛视频檚 a chance they might be able to find some reason to attack Hillary Clinton.
If there无毛视频檚 even a hint of an infraction that could lead the authorities to 无毛视频淟OCK HER UP,无毛视频� well, that无毛视频檚 a bonus.
All that无毛视频檚 needed is for Mrs. Clinton to be mentioned for any reason, and Fox News (with an able assist from Donald Trump) fires up their anti-Hillary machine.
That无毛视频檚 precisely what happened after Feb. 11, when a court filing by Justice Department special counsel 无毛视频� John Durham 无毛视频� was released, that had nothing to do with Clinton.
True, Durham is investigating the legal case involving Michael Sussmann, a lawyer for Clinton无毛视频檚 2016 presidential campaign.
In short, though, the filing contained some legal mumbo-jumbo about a potential conflict of interest between the judge hearing his case and the law firm Sussmann worked for.
But since Sussmann had worked for Clinton, on Fox News, a collective 无毛视频淏INGO无毛视频� could be heard throughout Fox News headquarters.
Fox News无毛视频� Jesse Waters opined that the filing meant, 无毛视频淒urham无毛视频檚 documents show that Hillary Clinton hired people who hacked into Trump无毛视频檚 home and office computers before and during his presidency and planted evidence that he colluded with Russia.无毛视频�
Yeah. But that无毛视频檚 not what the filing said.
On Feb. 14, Fox News Business host Maria Bartiromo began reading these words: 无毛视频淏ack in 2016, Democrat paid operatives illegally hacked political opponents无毛视频� communications during a presidential campaign. And then did it again to a sitting president.无毛视频�
Once again, that filing had nothing whatsoever to do with 无毛视频渋llegal hacking.无毛视频�
When there无毛视频檚 any story that supposedly involves Hillary Clinton, Trump is sure to come out of the shadow of which he无毛视频檚 been lurking 无毛视频� and attack.
无毛视频淭his is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate, and those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution,无毛视频� he said.
That statement was peculiar for two reasons. First, that legal filing didn无毛视频檛 mention the word 无毛视频渟pying.无毛视频� And second, 无毛视频渕agnitude无毛视频� is a three-syllable word. I never knew he was capable of using one of those.
But he went even further.
无毛视频淚n a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death,无毛视频� he wrote in a Trump communique.
Meanwhile, Fox News made mention of the supposed 无毛视频渟pying无毛视频� by the Clinton campaign 669 times (according to a CNN word count).
The false claims about Clinton无毛视频檚 attempted 无毛视频渋nfiltration无毛视频� of the Trump Empire became so ridiculous that the special counsel himself responded to them.
无毛视频淚f third parties or members of the media have overstated, understated, or otherwise misinterpreted facts contained in the government无毛视频檚 motion, that does not in any way undermine the valid reasons for the government无毛视频檚 inclusion of this information,无毛视频� John Durham wrote.
That led Clinton, herself, to respond.
无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 funny, the more trouble Trump gets into, the wilder the charges and conspiracy theories about me seem to get,无毛视频� she said during a speech at the New York State Democratic Convention.
There hasn无毛视频檛 been a word about Hillary无毛视频檚 alleged 无毛视频渋nfiltrations无毛视频� since.
