Fox News has changed its narrative over the murder of Alex Pretti. Media Matters has documented that it went from immediately backing the Department of Homeland Security painting him as a “would-be assassin” to raising questions about their shooting.
Lest anyone get an idea that Fox News or Trey “Mr. Benghazi” Gowdy have found a real moral compass against the Trump administration’s murder spree, let me assure you that both the network and Gowdy made sure to let viewers know they are still 100% MAGA – meaning, of course, 100% anti-Democrat and pro-Trump. Gowdy’s appearance on Fox’s America’s Newsroom show makes that perfectly clear.
This video, via Media Matters, shows, co-anchor Bill Hemmer demonizing Minnesota’s Democratic Governor Tim Walz for likening fearful Minnesotans to Anne Frank. Hemmer quoted from a Wall Street Journal editorial criticizing Walz’s “incendiary” rhetoric for urging citizens to film Department of Homeland Security agents instead of urging them to avoid confrontations.
