Now imagine that Joe Biden's name appeared instead, and imagine that Epstein had died in Federal lock up during his term. Fox would be on this for weeks.

Imagine how long Fox would be on this sworn testimony from a woman who worked for Epstein for 7 years confirming under penalty of perjury that she witnessed Convicted Sex Offender Trump raping a 13 year old girl in Epstein's NY apartment.

For real. They're still talking about Clinton almost a decade later.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I would agree. But the cable news business model won't survive decades. I'd be a little surprised if FOX News is still around in a single decade.

They still make Clinton/Lewinsky jokes on Fox News.

The other day I was at the gym, and because of all the new pwople getting in shape for the month, I had to use one walker that was in front of a tv with faux news. It was quite funny that they were saying a lot of clinton and other people, but not about the agent orange. Not even once his name was mentioned

I think they'd completely lose their shit if it was Obama or Hillary. They recently got the morons on the Biden hate wagon but the racism, sexism that's been fomenting on those two has been crazy.

I wouldn't be surprised if biden was on the list too.
