I occasionally watch Fox Nooze, because a) I need a laugh b) you need to know your enemy c) their propaganda and lying suggest the best strategies for us. In a segment dealing with this story, they made a big deal about "corrupt Democrats" and how the deep state had conspired to get Menendez off, but the tireless efforts of the Republican party had made sure that he faced swift justice and severe punishment, etc. etc. etc. blah blah blah yada yada yada belch grunt snort. It was amazingly stupid.
You can choose the flavor you get from Fox Nooze by varying the time you watch it. At 5 or 6 in the evening, they vaguely resemble an actual news outlet. But by 8 or so, they've devolved into full-blown MAGA right-wing nuts in kookoo bird land. First come the op-eds in the later news broadcasts, then the idiot tools like Hannity and Mother Tucker. I normally can't stomach that, so when I watched was about 7:00. That was bad enough.
Jesus, how do they get so many people to lap up their nonsense? It's so obviously bullshit.
