Fox News Calls President Biden a “Wannabe Dictator,” Mostly Ignores Trump Arrest, Arraignment, Indictment on Website

FoxNews has its own derangement syndrome.

Even with declining ratings, the bogus network is sticking with Donald Trump.

Last night during Trump’s crazy post-arrest/arraignment rant, Fox ran a chyron labeling President Biden a “wannabe dictator.” Anyone who thinks crazy old coot Rupert Murdoch isn’t still pulling the string a la Logan Roy from “Succession” is wrong. This is Murdoch’s work through and through. What kind of whackadoodle so called news organization refers to the president of the US as a “wannabe dictator”? Unprofessional, to say the least.

On Foxnews.com right now, there is nary a mention of the fact that a former president was arrested and arraigned after yet another indictment. No, they’re busy going after country star Garth Brooks for putting Bud Light in his bar.

Fox News ratings are now becoming a distant second to those of MSNBC. On Monday night, Rachel Maddow’s 9pm show had 2.6 million viewers. Sean Hannity, chief fabricator for Fox, languished with 1.9 million. Lawrence O’Donnell trounced Laura Ingraham at 10pm. Murdoch doesn’t seem to care, or he’s getting ready to jettison Hannity or move him to the 8pm hour out of harm’s way.

PS Tip of the hat to CNN’s Oliver Darcy for posting the Fox screenshot.
