Bannon was indicted today by a federal grand jury on two counts of contempt of Congress stemming from his failure to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bannon, 67, is charged with one contempt count involving his refusal to appear for a deposition and another involving his refusal to produce documents, despite a subpoena from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is unquestionably a major news event when one of the closest associates of a former president is indicted for multiple felonies. And that is apparent by the fact that every broadcast news network (ABC, CBS, and NBC), as well as the cable news networks (CNN and MSNBC), and even Newsmax, have all placed this breaking story at the top of their websites. The only exception to this is &#8211; you guessed it &#8211; Fox News. In fact, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/steve-bannon-indicted-contempt-congress-charges\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">story<\/a><\/strong> didn&#8217;t even appear on the Fox News website for more than an hour after it was reported by other news sites. And when it did appear, it was pushed way down the page and consisted of a single line of text with no accompanying graphic.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of this explosive legal and political development, Fox News placed a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/psaki-biden-lets-go-brandon\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">story<\/a><\/strong> at the top of their page about White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki responding to a question about the childish and veiled vulgarity, anti-Biden chant of <em>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go Brandon.&#8221;<\/em> The headline read <em>&#8220;HEARING THIS, &#8216;BRANDON&#8217;? WATCH: White House reveals Biden&#8217;s reaction to viral rallying cry sweeping the nation among his critics<\/em>.
