Fox News fallout

Sat., Nov. 16, 2019

Food for thought:

I have long been trying to understand why our GOP congressional representatives seem to find it so difficult to stand up to some of this administration’s questionable decisions and behaviors; that is, until recently when Fox News carried out its disgusting bashing and degradation of Lt. Col. Vindman, a decorated and highly vetted member of our armed forces.

Perhaps, just perhaps, it’s not so much the repercussions from the White House our Republican representatives fear but the potential fallout they could receive at the hands of Fox News, televised to its millions of faithful viewers.
