How Many GOP Talking Points Did ‘Straight News’ Anchor MacCallum Push About Mueller Hearing?

Despite Fox News claims that anchor Martha MacCallum embodies “the ultimate journalistic integrity and professionalism,” she sounded a lot more like an embodiment of the ultimate Republican propagandist in her post-Mueller testimony analysis today.

When the Democratic National Committee decided against holding any of its primary debates on Fox News, Senior Vice President Bill Sammon issued a statement asking the DNC to reconsider, arguing that MacCallum, as well as anchors Bret Baier and Chris Wallace “embody the ultimate journalistic integrity and professionalism.”

Watch a mashup of MacCallum’s comments below, following Robert Mueller’s July 24, 2019 testimony to the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees for a taste of her “integrity and professionalism.”

Hey, you do what you are told to do if you want to earn the big paycheck. I have no problem with this. It’s what their audience wants to hear. It also confirms why the DNC didn’t want any part of Fox hosting a debate.

Yeah, well this is the depressing thing about the Mueller debacle. He made things worse for the Democrats and gave right-wing propagandist like Fox News so much more ammunition to prop up Trump.

I get Mueller warned us he’s a rigid boy scout who had no interest in clarifying his report for the DoJ or the public. But he only managed to completely trash his legacy by doing a complete disservice to America by his – irony alert – obstruction.
