Fox News is not a broadcaster. Cable and web only. No over the air broadcaster.

I was a bit confused by the headline before watching -- thought it was actual Fox News footage. But then realized that the Daily Show had put footage of Jan 6. next to audio of Fox News anchors talking about BLM protesters. Brilliant.

I remember them coving the protests in Madison after the Republicans passed Act 10, complete with angry Hispanics and palm trees (nothing says Madison WI in February like Palm trees).

Their coverage of the Act 10 protests still pisses me off.
