“The Biden campaign said it does not want the votes of those caught on video chanting ‘Death to America’ during a recent anti-Israel rally in the 2024 battleground state of Michigan. A Dearborn crowd was led in chants of ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ by Michigan-based activist Tarek Bazzi during last Friday’s International Al-Quds Day rally. When asked if the president was still courting those agitators, who typically lean Democrat, Biden campaign spokesperson Charles Lutvak replied, ‘No,'” Fox News reports in an “exclusive” titled “Biden campaign: We don’t want the votes of ‘Death to America’ protesters in Michigan.” Emphasis ours on the “typically lean Democrat.”

This is, uh, something else. Like we can’t prove it and never will, but we are 150 percent certain that the editorial process that went into this was more or less “Well they just said simply ‘no’ and left us zero room to exploit some sort of ambiguity or equivocation on embracing ‘voters’ who would scream ‘Death to America.’ So let’s just run the denial and toss in a lame, completely unsupported cheap shot to characterize them as typically Dem voters to troll the gay socialist libtards.”
It’s easy enough to see that happening. There’s also the element of the “We’re ALWAYS winning” porn the propagandists at Fox exist to feed to the chronic masturbators in their base: That Biden is “losing” the “voters” that he counted on in 2020, as if there’s any reasonable shred of evidence that this particular demographic of fucking terrorist-loving freaks – who would scream “Death to America,” in America – have in significant numbers voted for either Democrats or Republicans, ever.
It’s just Fox News making their audience feel happy and excited that support for Biden that never existed in the first place is ebbing in a key swing state. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see how Fox would be covering the story if Biden wasn’t pissing these “Death to America” assholes off.
As for the “cheap shots denigrating the other side’s voters” thing we’re not trying to throw bricks from a glass house here. National Zero is not better than that and we haven’t ever, really.
But sometimes a shot isn’t so cheap when it’s an “if the hat fits” kind thing. For all these years of watching right wing media we’ve yet to glimpse just one photo or video of an Antifa or pro-Palestinian rogue wearing a “Biden-Harris 2020” shirt to a brawl in Portland. Compare that with trying to find a MAGA hat in images of the Capitol riot or the 2017 Charlottesville shitshow or any other incident of right wing violence over the last decade. It’s not like playing Where’s Waldo.
And you sure as fuck would be able to find footage of Pro-Biden Antifa or “Death to America” Islamic radicals pretty easily on Fox News’s website if it actually existed. We’re pretty sure it doesn’t.
