During the public session of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack on Congress, Republican Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney read text messages Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, received from three Fox News hosts:  Laura Ingraham, Brian Kilmeade and Sean Hannity.

The messages weren’t looking for a comment.  They weren’t asking for confirmation of a rumor.  The messages were giving advice, urging Trump to come out of hiding and call off his supporters who were attacking the Capitol.  Somehow, during the coverage on Fox News of the events that day, none of those people mentioned they were consulting with the administration.

This was very important for two reasons:  It shows the Fox News hosts are actually propagandists, not journalists.  They’re working with officials to shape the messages to influence the public perceptions of news events.  Fox News is being shown, in real time, to be the propaganda platform, not of the government, but of the Republican Party.

The second thing it proves:  they’re hypocrites.  They don’t believe what they say on the air.  While all of these personalities have said they believed the attack on the Capitol was a false-flag operation of BLM or antifa or … somebody, as the events unfolded, they urged Trump to order his followers to go home.  They knew it was Trump supporters and that Trump sparked the violence.

And one other thing:  Junior is texting Meadows to tell the White House Chief of Staff to handle the President of the United States?  Imagine that happening in any other reality:  a son of the President–a person who has no governmental power–telling the CoS to make Daddy do something.  How many other strings did the kids pull?  What influence did Junior and Ewic have on the operations of the White House?
