Report that Trump tried to fire Mueller sends Fox News into a tailspin

Report that Trump tried to fire Mueller sends Fox News into a tailspin
"Yeah, maybe Donald Trump wanted to fire the special counsel for conflict -- does he not have the right to raise those questions."
AARON RUPAR JAN 26, 2018, 11:47 AM

On Thursday evening, the New York Times broke news that last June, President Trump ordered a White House lawyer to fire special counsel Robert Mueller. The story looks bad for Trump, as it indicates that over a short period of time, he twice tried to fire officials overseeing an investigation of his campaign.

At first, Trump’s favorite TV network — Fox News — pretended the story didn’t exist. While the other cable networks covered it, Fox News was talking about a 2005 photo of President Obama with Louis Farrakhan.

A short time later, Sean Hannity tried to deny the Times report, telling his viewers that “our sources — and I’ve checked in with many of them — they’re not confirming that tonight.”

But Hannity was wrong — Fox News’ Ed Henry had in fact confirmed the Times’ reporting. (So did Politico, the Washington Post, and CNN.)

The MSNBC shows...beautiful! I think everyone should adopt the term Chris Hayes made up the other day for Fux Ruse..."T*RUMP TV". If that propaganda network is permanently linked to the Fucking Moron it would help us in future elections.
