Last night Fox bailed from the Trump rally to interview Guy Benson and his views on what the Senate Horowitz Report hearing would be like. They never went back but took opportunities to play 30-second sound-bites from the rally.
By trying to become more “fair and balanced,” they are pissing off what is left of their conservative viewers and soon will be just another cable news channel bashing Trump and conservatives.
Today Fox News bailed out of the Horowitz Senate hearing to go to a New Jersey press announcement from a Jersey City Sikh Police Chief on a recap of what they knew about yesterday’s anti-Semitic shooting in a Jewish Grocery Store where three people were killed and a shootout took place with the two perpetrators commenced that resulted in a the man and woman terrorists died. Nothing was breaking, noting imperative that could not be covered later, but they spent a good fifteen minutes covering it, and playing scenes outside the grocery store that had been shot up yesterday. Say what? It was not as newsworthy as what was going on in the Senate and certainly not as historic, but they chose to interrupt historic coverage to cover a nothing burger. It was a deliberately bad news choice.
Fox did it again this evening. On Fox News they were teasing that the House Committee on the Judiciary was going to be starting debate on the two articles of Impeachment at the top of the hour. So I was waiting patiently for them to cut away from talking heads to the debate. They didn’t, so I assumed that there was a delay. At 13 minutes after the hour, I got impatient and turned to C-Span House and discovered the debate had been going on for 13 minutes! What is going on with that???? Someone at Fox is making very bad coverage decisions.
