He called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a liar and refused to join the other six member nations in a joint communique. The meeting that he previously described as <em>&#8220;very, very successful,&#8221;<\/em> was ditched as total waste of time. So naturally Fox News heartily praised Trump as a visionary leader who can do no wrong. Well, except for <em>&#8220;Curvy Couch&#8221;<\/em> potato Abby Huntsman, who had this to say as Trump arrived in Singapore:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Regardless of what happens in that meeting between the two dictators, what we are seeing right now, this is history.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ux5xgPYGX0c?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Oh my.

That&#8217;s a trait they share with the President they love so much they emulate him. When they do apologize it&#8217;s usually in a tweet or a press release that no one but newsroom insiders ever see. Fox News has still never apologized for their slanderous stories about the murdered DNC employee, Seth Rich.  Just last night Fox&#8217;s Jesse Watters did a segment where he <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/2018\/06\/fox-news-host-jesse-watters-runs-reel-violent-right-wingers-falsely-identifies-antifa\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ran a video<\/a><\/strong> of violent right-wingers but said they were anti-fascist demonstrators. There has been no apology or correction. Neither have there been any corrections for the innumerable falsehoods of Donald Trump that Fox parrots as facts.<\/p>\n<p>But Huntsman did apologize for accidentally &#8211; and some would say correctly &#8211; calling Trump a dictator. That&#8217;s because they wouldn&#8217;t want to let any negative impressions of Dear Leader go uncorrected. But all of the times they <em>&#8220;inadvertently&#8221;<\/em> disparaged Democrats or liberals are left to stand despite being alerted to the mistakes and called upon to correct them.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re still waiting for Abby Huntsman to apologize for saying Trump is <em>&#8220;a phony and desperate for media attention,&#8221;<\/em> in this 2015 segment when she worked for MSNBC:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-Ko6Lishn7Q?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday morning Donald Trump&#8217;s favorite TV show, Fox and Friends, was engaged in their customary Trump-fluffing parade of propaganda.
