How I Knew Jim Jordan Would Lose Round 2, Without Watching The Vote

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on October 18, 2023 · Flag

Fox News’ lack of coverage of Jim Jordan’s second attempt to become speaker of the House today told me everything I needed to know.

Fox News hosts have been overtly lobbying to elect Rep. Jim Jordan speaker of the House of Representatives. So imagine my surprise when I turned on Fox this morning and found the network not airing the vote:

Notice the time stamps:

Yesterday, Fox aired the speaker vote. During that coverage, of Round One, Brian Kilmeade called Rep. Don Bacon a “dumba**” after he voted for Kevin McCarthy instead of Jordan.

So, when Fox only showed the vote in a silent box in a lower corner of the screen today, I knew the network knew for sure Jordan would lose the second vote.

To be clear, Jordan was expected to lose again today but it’s never over until it’s over. The fact that Fox worked to shift viewers attention from an important story that reflects poorly on Republicans underscores again that Fox is a right-wing propaganda outfit, not a news network.

There’s a segment of the American population that still reels from losing the Civil War. “To be continued” is where they stand and the racist undertones from the Jim Crow era still exist it their circle of friends. The era when white culture was dominant and blacks knew their place. Fox News tapped into that segment and feeds them the raw meat of subtle and overt racism on a daily basis. It’s what their viewers want over any facts that contradict what they already believe and it is worth paying $787 million to keep that the way it is.

When big news is happening Fox viewers are often completely out of the loop. Instead of breaking news they get boring media ‘analysis’ of news stories reported by other media. Instead of in depth interviews and discussion on important topics they only see ridiculous interviews of media personalities trying to link every bad occurrence around the world to Joe Biden and the Dems. They miss a lot of interesting information in order to get their 2-hours hate rants. It’s ugly, partisan, hate-mongering but it’s also super boring!
