    “fox news isn’t reporting the truth.”

    Well yeah that’s what they exist for. Straight up lying to the masses. Their goal is obviously to damage America and they do a great job at it.

    at the same time Fox has devoted less attention to the trial itself, it has extended near-blanket coverage to the alternative proceedings taking place in the same location — Trump’s open soliloquies to the press from the courthouse lobby where he lashes enemies inside and out of the courtroom.

    Can’t say I’m surprised by this, anything different would just siphon their case viewers elsewhere.

    maybe the FCC should go back to regulating news companies and strict ownership restrictions for owning multiple news outlets should be returned

    Trump’s aim has been to displace as much of the trial coverage as possible with his soliloquies. With Fox’s help, he’s accomplishing that goal.

    Is anyone surprised? When Cohen testified the other day everyone else was reporting how he had recordings of Trump acknowledging the payment was a bribe to kill the story. Fox News and other far right outlets were reporting that Cohen had made secret recordings of his conversations with Trump. They barely mentioned the content of those conversations.
