Clearly the reason FOX is showing it with the sound off us so when you ask a Trumpling "did you watch the impeachment trial? " they can plausibly answer "yes. "

FOX is manufacturing an army of bad-faith argument clones.

Be aware. You'll have to clarify "you mean full screen with the sound on, or some split screen bullshit?" every time, because now FOX has redefined what it means to have "watched" the trial.

That's what you have to be to run as a Republican. And to win, you have to be a yoooge, shameless, spineless asshole.

The dumbfuck demographic is large enough to keep them rolling in dough - and those goobers revel in being ignorant, undeducated, and racist. Being dishonest, for an audience that wants to be lied to, is their business model.

He's in it for the money, period. Telling ignorant, gullible rubes what they want to hear is extremely profitable, because ignorant, gullible rubes are what advertisers crave.

Too much money is there for the taking, for anyone willing to tell the dumbfuck rubes what they want to hear.

Given Faux News' major demographic, isn't boring the sweet spot?

Granted, but know why they repeat things? 1-Other side relentlessly repeat lies, which have become embedded 2-Believe it or not, these facts are not only news to the populace, but to the fucking SENATE (R)s, who proudly boast that, no, they have NOT read the Mueller Report or any other primary source information since Cheeto broke his oath the moment he touched that Bible, which just goes to show3-there is no ‘god’, otherwise he’d have been struck dead on the spot.
