“It’s all about punishing Cheney; it’s about punishing dissidents who dare – whoever dare – to accuse the former president, “said Brian Stelter, CNN media correspondent, in” Reliable Sources “on Sunday.” And the idea of a Senate trial – it’s crazy! Even thinking about trying Trump is crazy in the right-wing media. “
Although the right-wing media refuses to take their eyes off Cheney’s ball, Greene continues to spread misinformation. On January 17, Twitter became aware of Greene’s rhetoric, temporarily suspending it from the social media platform after she tweeted a conspiracy-laden discussion about the Georgia Senate election.
“You will notice that in pro-Trump establishments, Greene is barely getting attention,” said Stelter. “Instead, your eyes are on Congresswoman Liz Cheney.”
On Fox News on Friday night, anchor Shannon Bream spoke about Cheney in a chyron that said, “Canceling Liz Cheney”.
“Greene is getting attention from the mainstream media – she is being scrutinized – but Cheney is being stripped of the pro-Trump media,” said Stelter, adding: It is important to recognize that Congresswoman Greene is just a small piece of a larger movement, of a bigger phenomenon. “
The biggest phenomenon is the spread of the unfounded QAnon theory, a set of views that was supported by many of the people who invaded the Capitol earlier this month and defended by people like Tucker Carlson.
“They are coming after me because, like President Trump, I will always defend conservative values,” Greene said last week. “They want to take me out because I represent the people. And they absolutely hate it.”
