The Barbershop: Dennis Byrne, Proprietor
Boo hoo. Fox won’t run an anti-Trump ad. How does it feel?
The ad contains the usual propaganda that Democrats/liberals/progressives are running, trying to get former President Donald Trump blamed for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
With all the unctuousness that the discredited MSNBC host can muster, Brian Williams ponderously reveals (meaning, he’s fed the story by the usual leftists) that Fox has refused the ad. (Below.)
Perhaps because it’s loaded with political exaggeration and misinformation? Perhaps as a “publisher” (like Twitter, New York Times etc.) Fox can decide what bunk to not run?
Would MSNBC or CNN run the below opinion, “‘Incompetent’ and ‘cognitively impaired’ Joe Biden is now ‘racing for the exit door.’ I think not.
Complaints now about political censorship from the side that has made a practice of biased reporting, crackdowns on any discussion in a democracy of the merits of scientific claims, social media posts and the rest are something that amounts to more than hypocrisy.
P.S. Please don’t respond that I’m defending the Jan. 6 incursion or Trump. That would be a lie.
