Fox News reversed the order of Trump's tweets to make him seem more sympathetic




Fox News showing Trump's tweets out of order to give the illusion that he offered his support BEFORE trying to push travel ban





Faux News not only showed the tweets out of order, but their host read the supportive tweet first, then segued to the political tweet pushing the travel ban with the words "President Trump going on to say..." rather than something more innocuous like "Trump also tweeted."

They choose what to report, and amplify things good for their party (the GOP) and their owners (Murdoch).
