Whole new scandal for Fox News

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Now that Fox News has been exposed for the lying, deceiving piece of propaganda they are, one would think maybe they would seek to change their wicked ways — even a little. Alas, you can’t teach a dog new tricks. Nor a Fox. Because the Fox is guarding their hen-house with clever editing, deceitful words, and, as usual — lies. Lots and lots of wily lies.

Here’s a good example of one. Donald Trump was doing a radio interview with one of Fox’s more insane agent provocateurs, Sean Hannity. Trump told Hannity he had a solution to Putin’s war against Ukraine. What’s that solution? Let Russia take parts of Ukraine for itself.

Of course, we knew what Trump wanted to do. He’s a traitor. And traitors never want the good guys to win. And then the night crept in. And the Hannity show came on. And Hannity showed parts of the Trump radio interview.

But an unusual thing was happening. The part of the interview where Trump talked about handing parts of Ukraine over to Putin was missing. What the viewers DID hear was Trump saying, “I could have negotiated __.” That’s it. Then the audio skips forward, past the 30 or so seconds where Trump talks about his solution.

And when we next hear Trump, he is talking about China. Clever editing, Fox! Not! This not-so-accidental edit where Fox attempts to out-fox their audience did not fool many reporters. Indeed, it’s all over the internet, and Fox once again has been revealed for the fools that they are.

So what Fox is trying to do is to guard their hen-house — meaning profits. And ratings. And those will only come if Fox continues down the rabbit hole. So once again, they reveal themselves to be the propaganda artists they are. But there is something new. They’re not as good at it as they used to be.

Indeed, Fox’s efforts look pitiful. All this and now Tucker coming out with his warped, heavily edited January 6 footage is making Fox look like the most morally bankrupt, pathetic network ever. Congratulations, Fox, for once again flunking the honesty test.
