is taxing but absolutely necessary. The people at Fox follow a script religiously regardless the deaths it causes. This angry Bongino idiot had been a flak for the grifting NRA, had his own show on their defunct network, but he fit right it amongst the Fox liars and simpletons.

These people are responsible for deaths, for 100s of 1,000s of deaths and I swear to all the gods that if the virus had killed any of my loved ones I'd be angry enough to be jailed for what I'd do to them.

Their lying is deliberate. Well, except for Bongino who, I honestly believe, is just stupid. But Hannity, Tucker, Laura, and that ass whistle Jesse Watters, yeah, they know they're spouting bullshit and they do it because lying pays. None of these people have to worry about their finances. Rupert Murdoch and Son pay them over-well.

But we have to see conflations like this one to remind us -- to keep our truth juices flowing -- of the danger Fox and the Right Wing pose for this country and its continued existence.

Quote-mining is often used by the right wing to aggregate a lot of relatively insignificant or out-of-context statements together to misrepresent and discredit an organization. But Franklin ties everything together and makes a solid case that the organizations portrayed here are in fact anti-science and have made disqualifying statements. I do recall the talking point that what happened in NYC couldn't really happen anywhere else. FXN needs to pay for that one.
