Fox News is just repeating Trump's baseless claims

of fraud in counting the votes. They don't even pretend to discuss any possible evidence to substantiate their conjecture or validate Trump's lies claiming the count is rigged.

In one segment two women reporters repeated the debunked charge that the poor Republican poll watchers had been barred from the building... Proof, they chorused, that the vote counters had all conspired to cheat Trump from his victory.

Then they interviewed some VIP fellow who actually was a Republican poll watcher and he told them their claims were all nonsense. Both parties were allowed to bring in the max number of poll watchers while all others were kept outside until a vacancy opened up.

The two Fox hosts then started yelling and arguing with the guest observer, calling him a liar - don't believe your lyin' eyes - and still trying to foist off Trump's fake news story about cheating.

It was surreal. Even confronted with the truth they weren't interested in reporting it or getting the facts if the information contradicted Trump's manufactured lies. They really are Trump's TV propaganda shop, and totally useless as a journalistic source.

That was the only segment I could sit through, but I suspect their whole 24/7 schedule is nothing more than a repetitious Press Release recycling Trump's crazy stream of consciousness.
