Faux'n'Friends inadvertently performs journalism: "(SHITLER) literally can DO NO RIGHT"!1

If they would first "get" the unintended level of truth in what they uttered, then IF they would choose to add one of the layers of journalism and include contrast (viz., things he did right), they might create doubt that this was a one off.

Fox & Friends Trash Media Criticism of Trump's Santa Phone Call: 'He Literally Can Do No Right'

.... ...caused a commotion after he took calls from excited children, including a 7-year-old who he asked if they still believe in Saint Nick. In response to this Todd Pirro, Katie Pavlich and Griff Jenkins slammed the negative headlines by remarking that “President Trump could jump into a river and save a drowning 7-year-old child and the headline would read ‘Trump Proves: Can’t Swim.'”

“This was a 6-minute long phone call with the President of the United States on Christmas Eve,” Pavlich said. “I thought that was a long time for a phone call from the president.”

“Was it perfectly artful? Probably not,” Piro admitted. “At the end of the day, can we have just one day when we just have fun? No harm, no foul…He literally can do no right, even if it’s innocuous.”

I don't think she knows what that word means.

As to Pavlich, 6 minutes is a long time for a phone call by POTUS if we're talking about a POTUS who actually does anything.

Like that POS shuts up for a day and doesn't call on the press pool to cover his ramblings on Christmas Day? THAT would be fun.
