CNN Plays ‘Gotcha Game’ With Fox Over Jan. 6 Texts but Ends up Exposing Themselves – Opinion

Rep. Liz Cheney of RINO, Wyoming and liberal media fell apart trying to figure out something about Mark Meadows text messages with Fox hosts Donald Trump Jr. around Jan. 6. We found it hilarious that they tried to turn the text into something that showed no support for the riot. It was clear that everybody was angry and had no idea that it was coming. They were trying to stop the riot with their influence.

In other words, it blew up the Democrats’ game that somehow the riot was some Trump/GOP plan. They tried to manipulate them, but they were unable to do so because Republicans have no criminal record or wrongdoing.

CNN seems desperate right now. Brian Stelter showed how much, with his tweet trying to make something out of how Fox responded over the day to the texts and trying to claim that Fox didn’t respond for 24 hours, as though they were some great big “gotcha.”

Fox News had to respond to the 1/6 texts for more than 24hrs. @oliverdarcy has details here: https://t.co/qLGOdM8CKz

CNN said the same thing:

Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham — finally — on Tuesday night addressed the now-public texts that they sent Mark Meadows during the insurrection in which they implored the former White House chief of staff to get then-President Trump to take action to curtail the violence occurring at the US Capitol.

Fox News ignored text messages for most of the day. They had been made public last night. Fox News had to wait more than 24hours to respond.

First, there was nothing to respond to, since there was nothing wrong in any of the texts — they were telling Meadows to do what he could to see if they could stop the rioting. So? So what is the problem with these texts? How can they respond? Just more of CNN making something out of nothing — which is what CNN does for a living.

Stelter and CNN have spread horse manure because Fox actually spoke of the text messages before Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham. Harris Faulkner, Bret Baier, and Harris Faulkner both talked about the texts. But Hannity and Ingraham will be able to speak more as they were part of the people who text Meadows.

Baier talks about the texts, Chad Pergram is next and Harris Faulkner follows suit.

Brian Stelter must have forgotten that. Doesn’t he spend his whole life watching Fox to find things to attack? He couldn’t miss all the news coverage, and related tweets, that just a quick search could turn up.

The answer is that this is typical CNN lying/bad ‘journalism’ once again. It’s about pushing the narrative, not about the truth. They’re so desperate to get Trump and/or Fox, they’re just resorting to lies once again.

Meanwhile, CNN is so full of scandal, it’s sinking them and costing them anchors. They’ve had to fire Chris Cuomo for his part in helping his brother’s defense and another allegation of sexual harassment, they have a guy who masturbated on a Zoom call, they have a CNN producer arrested for child sex abuse and Don Lemon tipping off Jussie Smollett that the Chicago Police didn’t believe his story.

Maybe they need to clean their own house and explain what’s going on over there, as Tucker Carlson pointed out, rather than looking at Fox. It took CNN much longer to muster up a “real response” to the Chris Cuomo scandals.
