Fox News headline: Putin eats Trump's lunch in Helinski

Normally, I wouldn't include a Fox news article, but I'm making an exception for this piece, in case anyone wants to share it with family or friends who are Fox watchers.

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/07/16/putin-eats-trumps-lunch-in-helsinki-this-is-no-way-to-win-against-russia.html

Most importantly, on election meddling, Trump refused to stand with U.S. intelligence and charge Putin with interference, saying he doesn’t “see any reason why it would be” the Russians carrying out the illegal meddling.

For a sitting U.S. president to say publicly that he believes a foreign leader over his own intelligence team is shocking and admonishable. At a time when our democracy faces grave threats, it is deeply troubling that the president would side with the very country who attacked us.

Additionally, Trump’s failure to distinguish between campaign collusion and Russia’s blatant attack on our democracy allowed Putin to sow more discord during the press conference.

“Could you name a single fact that would definitely prove the collusion? This is utter nonsense, just like the president recently mentioned,” Putin told a reporter.

Fox pretends to be fair, only attacks by designated Democrats on King Trump will be published.

The narrative is already forming among the cult. Over at National Review the indictments are being portrayed as political.

Nothing is going to happen once again.

Wow, from Fox!

I have to go look out the window, I think pigs must be floating by.

They've all been very critical of Trump today, and they're being attacked on Twitter by Trump supporters.
