Summary
Fox News reporter Chad Pergram challenged Speaker Mike Johnson for blaming Democrats for a potential government shutdown over funding bill opposition.
After Johnson claimed Democrats would be “responsible for every troop who misses a paycheck” if they reject his “clean CR,” Pergram pointed out this implies Republicans lack sufficient votes.
Johnson insisted “we’ll have the votes” despite reports that House Republicans plan to vote against the bill, claiming Democrats should “do the responsible thing.”
To be fair, it’s a Murdoch property as is the Wall Street Journal… and the WSJ is pissed because Trump is fucking up the economy.
I honestly am a little surprised there hasn’t been more pushback from FOX News just yet, because WSJ is basically done with this shit. But there are cracks showing in FOX News coverage as well.
Check this shit out, Fox posted this on fb when Bill Burr said that stuff about how we should treat “differently affluent” people (that’s my new euphemism, like it?)
I thought it seemed weirdly anti-oligarchy for them and the comments were almost entirely pro-Burr. Interesting times we live in for sure
Fox learned during his first term that if they push too hard their viewers just go to Newsmax instead.
many of the young viewers abandoed it for oan/newsmax and right wing grifters. Its the milleneals and older that still is on fox.
I’d say Trump is about to learn what happens when you fuck with the money, but he’s literally incapable of learning.
