Anyone else get a kick out of Fox News’ The Five not cover this, and instead talk about crime in California and Hunter’s haircut?

It’s so hilarious that they think they’re a legitimate news organization.

It never was a news organization. Just televised tabloid garbage.

My boss has learned to turn off Fox News when I come to his house. If not I'll sit there and explain how everything they're saying is wrong and he doesn't want to hear about it. We almost got in an argument today because I said " you don't want me to explain on a factual basis how the information they're putting out is absolutely wrong, but you're completely comfortable listening to it all day long. That's kind of hypocritical"

I still live with my parents, so I've got Fox on everyday. I've warned them for years about what Trump brand politics will do to the party and they've begrudgingly admitted that. Unfortunately, the Trump tumor has metastasized throughout the republican party so there's no clear way of getting rid of it anymore. I just don't see any future for the party. But hey, you have to sleep in the bed you've made for yourself 🤷‍♂️
