Got to the gym at 6am. On the TV's there's CNN ESPN and Fox.
6:00-6:15 lifting - Fox is all Smollett. White people talking about Smollett. White People talking to a black lady about Smollet. Etc.
6:15-6:35 swim
6:35-6:50 lifting again. Fox ... Smollet. This time there's a black guy talking about Smollet and white people talking about him talking about Smollet.
No sound so I just caught some of the closed captioning.
It's THE only thing happening in Foxworld. This is GOLD for Fox News.

(23,373 posts)Remember Bernie immediately denouncing the congressional baseball terrorist? I know lots of people here hate Bernie. He did the right thing to try to stop his people from doing it again.
The republicans now? Crickets! It almost seems like they wish the terrorist killed people.
Yeah and AP radio news top story yesterday all day Jussie
At least NPR gave the domestic terrorist the top story and the Jussie story was actually the third or fourth.

(19,906 posts)IF this is true, Smollett would be an utterly selfish, self absorbed asshole. However, we must let justice take its course.

(4,723 posts)Smollett is a doubly scary man in the eyes of their audience (black and gay) who behaved badly. This is ratings gold for them. I doubt most of their audience cares a whit that a white guy was found plotting a huge terror attack, because he was targeting Democrats and journalists.

(4,407 posts)Smollet is the isolated case that they can harp on ad infitum to create a false generalization about the all the left, about all the gays and about sll black men. They LOVE Smollet, the one example out of millions of non-examples is all they need.

We here see that crap and know that channel lies. But the average person going about their day who pays little attention to politics will walk by, and think they're 'catching a little news' . But it's really just another little bit of propaganda programming. That's why so much of the public goes along with rightwing policy and normalizing of MF45. Also, that contributes to the general ignorance.
I have one of these:

I tried the TV-B-Gone, it wasn't bad, but someone will usually turn it back on. Changing the channel, especially if done during a commercial, seems more effective at keeping the Fox Sewer off a public tv.
I got mine at Amazon, but just now when I went to get the link, it stated it was currently unavailable.
