Which sounds like it may be one of those signals to his thugs, as explained by Michael Cohen.

As a matter of fact, as I was thumbing through channels last night, I came across Laura Ingraham in FOX with the chyron below reading, "A Biden/Harris administration would ruin the Department of Justice." I kid you not. I exploded and turned off the damned TV.

I couldn't stand to watch that crap channel. I heard him change the channel very shortly.
guess I need to change my avatar, sorry SergeStorms...

(16,723 posts)The place I worked in 1989 had a Chevette with only an AM radio, so I would try to find something to listen to. I heard Limbaugh for the first time. After a few minutes, I thought, "Who is this asshole???" Since then, the "model" has been replicated by hundreds if not thousands of "conservatives" on the airwaves and cable TV. There is nothing "conservative" about them, in the true original sense of ideology. They want to destroy government unless they control it, enrich white people, make gobs of cash on things like incarceration and countless money grubbing schemes and to hell with everyone else. And Drumpf awarded Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom earlier this year, in recognition of the millions successfully brainwashed for life (now generationally).

(63,221 posts)The man has a bizarre aversion to the truth and anyone who speaks it. I don't have a lot of faith in Fox, but I really hope they stand behind Ms. Griffin for having the bravery to report on this story and to finally try to wake up the deluded masses who watch that joke of a network.

Trump needs to lose badly for the GOP to move to the center - and for Fox to as well (remember it is a feedback loop). Only then could I see them start to call out stuff like Qanon, the alt-right, etc. The business Repubs and money men won't accept electoral irrelevance, which is quickly approaching with the demographic trends, with states like Texas trending blue.
