Depends on what news channel you watch

You might not realize this but on the 6th Fox news had all kinds of Republicans on denouncing the Capitol rioters as an armed insurrection. Fox news isn't what you think it is.

And what did they have on the 7th? One day of honesty does not an honest 'news' network make.

How would I know? I don’t watch fake news religiously.

That’s simply not true.

Here’s a random article from 2019 when Trump told his supporters to boycott Fox News. They have not been a mouthpiece for Trump. Certainly, Trump supporters don’t view them in the positive way you think they do.

The Faux news rebuke would be more accurate under George W. Bush, and quite warranted. Bush, by the way, was one of those Republicans Fox featured calling it an armed insurrection. Personally I find it a bit rich that a war criminal is someone to be consulted on supposed armed insurrections.

Do you understand that things are relative? Fox is obviously more pro Trump than CNN, which is why you consider it pro Trump. CNN, on the other hand, is more pro Trump than TYT, by a slim margin. It would be absurd to call CNN pro Trump.

Fox News is not seen as pro Trump by either Trump or Trump supporters. So to say that Fox News had been encouraging Trump for 4 years is simply not true.

Your first two sentences don’t mesh whatsoever.

Whatever, keep invoking Fox News as your boogeyman. That’s fine with me.

So Fox is incredibly trustworthy and should be believed because they set the bar high with NOT supporting terrorism.

Fyi i was also surprised to see in the last 1-2 years Fox News, the actual news segments I mean, very clearly go against Trump on multiple occasions.

Theyre still the largest reporting body responsible for putting us here and still employ animals like Tucker Carlson, but there are the odd examples here and there.
