GOP consultant destroys 'shallow tyrant' Trump for threatening violence from his supporters

Fox News and Fox Business, both created by Rupert Murdoch, have never been shy about promoting extreme or ludicrous ideas in the hope of driving ratings. But what far-right opinion hosts like Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity claim and what Fox News executives actually believe can be two different things, and an article published by Vice on September 23 stresses that Murdoch's actions show that he takes climate change seriously.

It's important to pay close attention to what Fox News does as well as what it says. Fox News has been full of anti-vaxxer hysteria; yet more than 90% of Fox Corporation employees, according to The Guardian, have been vaccinated for COVID-19. Fox Corporation, CNN reports, has "quietly implemented the concept of a vaccine passport."

Donald Trump blasted Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, on Wednesday, telling the Republican lawmakers they should be "ashamed" of not showing him enough fealty during his ceaseless campaign to overturn President Biden's 2020 election win.

"I spent virtually no time with Senators Mike Lee of Utah, or Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, talking about the 2020 Presidential Election Scam or, as it is viewed by many, the 'Crime of the Century,'" Trump wrote in an email blast. "Lindsey and Mike should be ashamed of themselves for not putting up the fight necessary to win," the former president continued.

Writing in The Bulwark this Thursday, Charlie Sykes contends that the right-wing is emulating the leftist "cancel culture" they claim to despise.

As an example, Sykes cites a story out of Pennsylvania where an all-white school board banned a list of educational resources such as a children's book about Rosa Parks, Malala Yousafzai's autobiography and CNN's Sesame Street town hall on racism. He also points to Tennessee's Republican governor, who signed a new law which bans the teaching of ideas linked to "critical race theory."
