Like CNN, MSNBC and, presumably, millions of Americans were still fixated on the deeply convincing and disturbing presentation of the Democratic House impeachment managers at the Senate trial, Fox News made the courageous decision to interrupt 5 pm Eastern time for its program regularly. scheduled, The five.
Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) was in the middle of the sentence when moderator Jesse Watters abruptly interrupted, presenting a panel that on this day, for some reason, also included Judge Jeanine Pirro. “Political mathematics doesn’t match,” began Watters. “Democrats don’t have votes, but they keep pushing.”
After playing some short clips of the day’s proceedings and a counter-argument from Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) about Hannity the night before, Dana Perino joined Watters to trace a false equivalence between Trump’s thought-provoking words and several comments made by Democrats over the years.
So, on the same day Fox rewarded The five’s Greg Gutfeld with his own evening talk show, he called the trial nothing more than “emotional political theater,” laughing to himself as he predicted that no republican mind would be influenced by the horrific evidence presented. From there, he went on a bizarre and petty tangent about “freedom of speech” and why “media” is “destroying the country”.
And finally, Pyrrhus started screaming nonsense about the “Black Lives Matter attack” before going after the Democrats for “trying to taint Donald Trump so he can never run away”.
“Well, they better not forget that 74 million people voted for Donald Trump!” she continued. “You can try to dissipate, you can try to dissipate them, you can do whatever you want in this whole theater. But the end result is that it doesn’t matter. “Getting louder, she shouted,” So what are we doing? Wasting time while Americans are out of jobs, we have a pandemic and China is on the rise! ”Before hitting the table in front of you dramatically.
The speeches by Gutfeld, Watters and Pirro were not far from the even more unbalanced rhetoric of Newsmax, which started at 5 pm with an anchor saying to viewers: “We have continued coverage of a bipartisan betrayal of the American people and our Constitution” before adding: “We are going to see the dagger dive further into the back of us, the people and this country.”
