President Biden's words are clear and decisive. Fox News continuing to carry Putin's water is pure propaganda. What was Fox just saying?
Oh right:
Many top hosts for Fox News and other conservative media voices are blaming the White House for supposedly enabling Russia’s attack on Ukraine — even some of the same personalities who previously ridiculed President Biden’s warnings that an invasion was imminent. . . .
. . . . days earlier, Bartiromo had sounded confident the Biden administration was inflating the threat of Russian aggression to distract from bad political news at home — particularly, a motion filed by special counsel John Durham that was
described by many Fox News hosts as a massive scandal.
“Was this a ruse?” she asked her audience Wednesday last week. “Was this whole thing an effort to take everybody’s attention away from what Hillary Clinton did and what we know to be a complete hoax over this Russia investigation?”
“This whole thing is a scam. It’s a total and complete scam,” former Trump White House adviser Stephen K. Bannon
said on his podcast before the Russian strikes, defending Putin as “anti-woke.”
Other conservative outlets elected to ignore or play down the crisis. One America News spent most of Thursday morning airing extended live coverage of the Conservative Political Action Conference, with only brief mentions of Ukraine.
