He was addressing the nation&#8217;s current state with regard to the COVID pandemic. That speech was widely lauded for achieving a difficult balance between mourning the past and hope for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Except, of course, on Fox News where it was predictably maligned by the usual suspects, including Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Mark Levin who called it <em>&#8220;the most disgusting, propagandistic speech that a demagogue, even a politician, has ever given.&#8221;<\/em> Hyperbole much?<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the speech Fox News displayed messages begging their viewers to stay tuned for <em>&#8220;live reactions from Tucker Carlson.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wtf are these chyrons <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/86lESEZBX5\">pic.twitter.com\/86lESEZBX5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1370184455118188545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>However, the Fox regulars are going to have to try harder to exceed the heinous heartlessness of Fox <em>&#8220;Friend&#8221;<\/em> Brian Kilmeade.

Kilmeade thinks the nation should just <em>&#8220;move forward&#8221;<\/em> after having having lost more than half a million souls. Tens of millions of families are grieving. But in Kilmeade&#8217;s diseased brain their <em>&#8220;moment&#8221;<\/em> is over and that&#8217;s all they get. As if the pain has subsided and the prospect of dining out and getting haircuts will provide all the solace that&#8217;s needed now. WTF is wrong with him? And, by the way, his co-hosts who said nothing, and his bosses, Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, who <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48691\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">allow this sort of garbage air every day<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Kilmeade thinks that concern for our deceased brethren should be replaced by accolades to Donald Trump, the single person most responsible for the hundreds of thousands of fatalities, many of which were avoidable, but for his negligence, incompetence, and deliberate malfeasance. Kilmeade thinks it was Biden&#8217;s obligation to pay tribute to a remorseless Trump in a speech aimed at consoling a somber and fearful nation.<\/p>\n<p>Kilmeade doesn&#8217;t give a damn about the casualties of the coronavirus, but he&#8217;s damn perturbed about a figurative kick in the groin to Trump, which actually didn&#8217;t exist in Biden&#8217;s speech at all. In fact, Kilmeade was so vexed by the Biden address that he made up numerous <em>&#8220;offenses&#8221;<\/em> and other reasons to ignore reality and attack those who are actually contributing to the healing. For instance, after disparaging Biden&#8217;s sincere attempts to unify a broken nation, he went after Dr. Anthony Fauci in an unhinged tirade that was replete with lies and purposefully distorted misrepresentations of Dr. Fauci&#8217;s comments over the past year:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Can we stop praising Anthony Fauci, saying he is world renown?
