<\/p>\nThe Olympic-grade hypocrisy of Fox News continues to lap the field of ultra-rightist media hacks.
\nThere is literally no limit to how flagrantly they will attack others for the crimes they are so conspicuously guilty of.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In recent weeks the anti-Trump Republican group, the Lincoln Project, has been embroiled in a controversy over the alleged misbehavior of one of their principles, John Weaver. He has been accused of sexual harassment and subsequently resigned from the organization. The scandal was immediately leapt upon by conservatives and Trump supporters, not because they care about sexual harassment, but as an opportunity to dispose of an effective group of Trump critics with solid Republican credentials.<\/p>\n
One of the things that distinguishes liberals and Democrats from conservatives and Republicans is how they respond to misconduct in their ranks. The left acknowledges their failings and holds their own accountable. The right, on the other hand, defends their scoundrels, denies any wrongdoing, and embraces them even more tightly.<\/p>\n
On Thursday Fox News joined the opportunistic rabble on the right that has been going after the Lincoln Project. They published an article<\/a><\/strong> on their website that called for the group to be shut down, advocating for…<\/p>\n “…the dissolution of the Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump political action committee that has imploded in the past month from accusations of a sexual harassment cover-up, financial skulduggery, and a toxic work environment.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Fine. That’s not a particularly unreasonable position. And it’s one that is shared by many liberals who are appalled by the revelations of Weaver’s behavior. In fact, Fox’s article references John F. Harris’ piece on Politico<\/a><\/strong> as its source.<\/p>\n The problem is that Fox News was never so outraged by similar – and worse – behavior by their own personalities and executives. Fox’s founder, Roger Ailes, was accused by numerous women of sexual harassment and assault. So was Bill O’Reilly, Fox’s top host until he was fired in the wake of several multimillion dollar lawsuits. Fox News president Bill Shine was forced out for having covered for O’Reilly. Several Foxies (Pete Hegseth, Jessie Watters, Ed Henry) were caught in inappropriate, extramarital affairs with much younger coworkers. And Kimberly Guilfoyle, Don Trump Jr’s current girlfriend, was fired for sending her colleagues dick-pics. <\/p>\n Speaking of Donnie Junior, who left his wife and five children for Guilfoyle, he couldn’t resist the temptation to pile on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo with this tweet:<\/p>\n The credible Cuomo accusations have once again left it unclear when we \u201cbelieve all women\u201d and when we don\u2019t. (Hint: when they accuse Democrats)<\/p>\n — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) February 25, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
