Faux News Really going into bat for Trump

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.

I guess outright lying is easier than trying to spin facts.

I haven't been worried about him now that he is out of office, but it appears that the fanatical losers who supported Trump are being set up to blame Obama for his self-inflicted downfall

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.

Are they also discussing the FOX fact that President Obama is a foreign born Muslim?

so that's what Faux will tell them. Anything to keep them watching, including total fiction, so the advertisers will keep buying ads.

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.

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.

No arrest, no indictment, no special investigation?
