White House Warns FOX News to Stop Covering Biden Corruption
Front Page Magazine ^

Posted on 02/29/2024 5:17:32 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

I remember when White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer made an off-hand remark about what he thought was Bill Maher praising the Al Qaeda terrorists, suggesting that people should watch what they say, and we have spent years hearing about the Bush administration “terrorizing”, “censoring” and “intimidating” the press.

Bush was compared to Hitler and the incident still continues to be brought up today even as the Biden administration is fighting in court for the “free speech right” to censor political opponents on social media, and now the White House has fired off a letter to FOX News warning it to stop covering Joe Biden’s corruption.

The White House is formally calling on Fox News to walk back its coverage of bribery and corruption allegations against President Joe Biden.

In a letter sent to the right-wing network’s top brass this week, which has not been previously reported, Ian Sams, a top White House spokesperson, noted that the ex-FBI informant who was the source of the bribery claims has now been charged by federal authorities for allegedly fabricating the story.

“Despite this, Fox has taken no steps to retract, correct, or update its reporting on this false allegation from 2023,” Sams said in his letter to Fox News chief executive Suzanne Scott, president Jay Wallace, and Washington bureau chief Bryan Boughton.

Despite media misinformation, Smirnov’s allegations were a late-arriving cherry on the cake in an investigation that involved IRS whistleblowers, business partners of Hunter Biden and extensive information from his own laptops.

Yet forget that for a moment.

Imagine the response if the Bush or Trump administrations had sent such a threatening letter to CBS News.

This letter from the White Hospice is pretty much an admission that the phony charges against Smirnov were brought in order to make the Biden Family Syndicate bribery charges go away.

And that White Hospice mouthpieces like Ian Sams are lying scum.

Better start getting your affairs in order as far as plenty of ammo ,water ,food, learn how to grow veggies in your backyard, etc. If you think I’m kidding wait until summer rolls around….we’re going to witness things that we thought would never happen here in the United States. The stinking evil rats 🐀 and RINOS have completely destroyed our nation. Normal will never return, but Jesus will. He is our only hope for this nation now 😢

I think FOX jumped the shark on election night, 2020, at least, with the AZ call.

There is no way they could have known unless they were in on it.

The rest is bread and circuses.

I know Hannity interviews Lindsey Graham too much and urged Trump to endorse Dr. Oz, but he is mostly reliably conservative otherwise.

not

It just wasn't obvious when he had Combs as a foil.

If Pedo Joe had one OUNCE of integrity he would pardon Trump of all federal charges.

Honestly, that is the ONLY thing Biden can do that might move the polls in his direction.

I wonder if the Fox stars have any skeletons in their closet that JoJo’s Red Guard might bring up?

“ And the media is cheering it on..”

It doesn’t surprise me. They’ve stopped trying to pretend they are not a mouth piece for the government. Since, the left pretty much has a monopoly on corporate news, they all speak the same language and in this case - like a bunch of bullies.

This is an example of how the numbers get skewed.

Police officers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will no longer respond to lower-priority calls that the bureau says do not require an in-person response, and will instead redirect them to its Telephone Reporting Unit.

The Telephone Reporting Unit will field calls for theft, harassment, criminal mischief and burglary alarms, WPXI-TV reported.
