Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday blasted Fox News as “cowardly” for deciding not to televise the highly anticipated prime-time hearing later this week by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

“Few things obstruct the American people from hearing the truth more than Fox News’s cowardly decision not to broadcast Thursday’s hearing,” he said at a press conference after the weekly Senate lunch.

Glad Tucker will be on. Now I can cancel my Thursday night home self administered root canal I had planned as opposed to the hearing.

Fox will have stronger viewership than all the others combined because they DID NOT show it.

Has Chuckie himself EVER BEEN on FoxNews? I think not.

Fox should, while the inquisition is on the other channels, run a continuous loop of Rod Serling's classic 1961 Twilight Zone episode "The Obsolete Man".

The Obsolete Man

Chuck Schumer… His parents were born in the former Soviet Union… let that sink in! His willful desire to destroy the USA is obvious. He has no allegiance to our great Republic only to its destruction.

Correct all the lefty sycophant networks are on this like white on rice. Love to have one network have the gonads to have it on with Trump commenting upon it as it moves along. I recall Rush did something like that one time.

The dems are wishing desperately to recreate the ‘magic’ of the Watergate hearings where they we able to oust a President who won 49 states.

If they had their way, their dog & pony show would be on every outlet. But alas, those days of the big three networks dominating what one could watch are long gone.

It will be fascinating to see what the viewership of this “highly anticipated prime-time hearing” will turn out to be.

How this scum Schoomer has the balls to call anyone ‘cowardly’ is unbelievable! Name one ‘gallant’ event in his pathetic life that didn’t involve a vote or a buck?

I know they are going to say how bipartisan it is because of Liz Cheney. Liz Cheney is now the most admired Republican in America, according to the media and Democrats. Why she’s a modern day Profile in Courage according to them.

I propose that Fox run a 2000 Mules marathon during the show trial.

The corrupt press loved John McCain too - he was always ‘johnny on the spot’ ready to trash fellow Republicans.

Liz Cheney’s cut from the same cloth. Daddy’s little brat.

Yet Liz Cheney is about the most unpopular Republican House member in her own state and is on track to lose her Republican primary by a huge margin.

“I heard that NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN will be showing it.”

In a rare nod to reality, Shumer considers that NBC, ABC, CBS, & CNN’s aggregate audience is so small it doesn’t count as “showing it”.

Why doesn’t that low IQ commie coward spend a few dollars and buy a complete set of eyeglasses that don’t fall down his nose?

If anything happens of actual news value, they will probably report on it.

Yup... and that even includes Vannity and Laura. It goes without saying that Tucker and Gutfield will be into the stratosphere with their ratings.

Climate change and gun violence are not important issues. They are drummed-up inconsequentialities.
