How queer.
How did NPR cover the NBA hushing up criticism of the Chinese Communists?

Fox News President Jay Wallace - NO RELATION to William Wallace apparently.
Fox NEWS resembles EVERY other newscast anymore.
Kristin Fischer did a story: What promises has Trump broke in regards to the Covid-19 crisis.
After spending 95% of the time talking about what SHE THOUGHT were broken promises, she ended the segment with a kind of “Of course President Trump has kept many of the promises he made.”!

I barely watch anymore but Laura seemed pretty jazzed about the protests. Anyone else?

Funny how NPR didn't lament the "stars" on the Fake News Media Networks cheering on the antifa protestors.
Even though they were throwing rocks and bottles at police and smashing store windows and setting fires.

Fox News President Jay Wallace sent a directive Monday urging Fox anchors to take time on the air to remind protesters to practice social distancing, according to a senior executive at Fox. She later said Wallace issued it at the behest of Fox CEO Suzanne Scott. Wallace and Scott declined to be interviewed for this story. Shortly after Wallace's guidance went out Monday, Fox host Harris Faulkner interrupted a guest who said the protesters were not opposing safety measures. Faulkner noted that the footage on the air at that very moment reflected demonstrators clustered closely together, sharing phones and cameras, and failing to wear masks.
We're all supposed to act like sheep and our cries in protest be the same and silent as a sheep's bleat.

Remember that riffraff at Lexington and Concord who were shooting from behind rocks and not standing in lines or anything? Rules, people. They're for our own good...

"Fox News" is rapidly declining into
"Faux News"...
Probably just another thing to thank scumbag Paul Ryan for...
