Basically supporting Trump's allegation.
having guests on saying what President Obama did was like the Soviet Union in the 80's.
Or my own personal favourite saying, its NOT the FBI that calls for wire taps, its the President.
They're reporting this, NOT AS A ALLEGATION but as an already proven fact.
Every guest, every host is using language, as if this true.
They're one step away from calling for jail time for President Obama.

(27,587 posts)and can see at least part of the handwriting on the wall, have to wonder WTF they are thinking. Has it occurred to anyone at Faux that they will likely have to eat those words? I don't watch tv, haven't seen a Faux broadcast in many years, but it seems that they would temper it a little bit when there is this much smoke. I guess they know their gullible watchers better than I do.

(11,453 posts)How do they walk it back when its totally debunked or when, hopefully, evidence is presented showing a FISA warrant was approved because of overwhelming evidence Trump was breaking the law.

(17,984 posts)Faux News will not have to pivot. When the real news comes out, they will just stop talking about Obama's conspiracy. The fact that it was mentioned once is enough to have it stick in their listeners' minds. I am willing to bet my inheritance that, ten years from now, you will be hearing about how Obama ordered a wire tap.
