Fox Covering Speaker Vote Signaled Johnson Win

With their guy, Rep. Mike Johnson, set to become speaker of the House of Representatives, Fox suddenly decided to cover the vote.

Last week, I wrote that I knew Jim Jordan's second try for the speakership was doomed to failure because Fox did not cover the vote, except in a muted box on the bottom of the screen.

The same thing happened on Jordan's third failure, though I did not bother to write it up.

But Fox covered the vote today, a sure sign that Rep. Mike Johnson would win.

Once again, Fox only wants to cover news that empowers Republicans, even when their guy tried to sabotage a democratic election and cozies up to a traitor who has bragged about and been found liable for sexually assaulting women.

While I was writing this (and trying to get a screen grab), leading coup-plotter Johnson won the speakership.

This will not end well. The Johnson person’s life will now be under scrutiny like never before, and what is uncovered will be anything but pretty.

I’ll keep saying it – FOX is poison and MUST be shut down. It is active disinformation that works against Democracy and promotes christian nationalist authoritarianism. All for profit.
