And this week they provided a stark example of how they purposefully turn their political coverage into pure propaganda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52385\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Totally Ignores Story About Ginni Thomas Texting QAnon Nuttery to Mark Meadows<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Thursday MSNBC&#8217;s Rachel Maddow aired a segment exposing Republican House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, discussing with GOP Rep. Liz Cheney their dismay with Trump following his inciting the January 6th insurrection. They pondered the possibility of removing Trump from office via impeachment, the 25th Amendment, or resignation.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about this report, McCarthy adamantly denied that he had said any such thing, insisting that it was <em>&#8220;totally false and wrong,&#8221;<\/em> and that <em>&#8220;It comes as no surprise that the corporate media is obsessed with doing everything it can to further a liberal agenda.&#8221;<\/em> Unfortunately for him, there were recordings&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Recording of McCarthy and Cheney <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oHMMV7TXbo\">pic.twitter.com\/oHMMV7TXbo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1517312049612607488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>And as if that weren&#8217;t bad enough, the recordings also captured McCarthy saying that Trump had acknowledged to him that he <em>&#8220;bears responsibility&#8221;<\/em> for the violent storming of the Capitol by his supporters:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New audio of McCarthy claiming that Trump agreed that he has some responsibility for January 6th <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FfI4cUP3Fo\">pic.twitter.com\/FfI4cUP3Fo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1517511138912595968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The significance of these recordings goes beyond McCarthy having been caught in a lie as to what he was saying after the insurrection. It also exposes his candid thoughts in real time about the riots and Trump&#8217;s moral and legal liability. It shows that McCarthy&#8217;s first instincts were were actually rooted in principle and that Trump needed to be held accountable. It also shows that McCarthy was willing to abandon his <em>&#8220;principles&#8221;<\/em> and subjugate himself to Dear Leader Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The McCarthy tapes were covered by most of the media in a manner befitting the explosive nature of their content. This was unarguably newsworthy material that shook the political landscape and warranted detailed coverage. So naturally Fox News ignored it entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the morning on Friday, Fox News did not mention the McCarthy mess a single time on the air. There was, however, one <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/mccarthy-rebuts-reporting-leaked-recordings-trump-resign\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">story<\/a><\/strong> about it on the Fox News website, but that story only mentioned the original reporting and McCarthy&#8217;s denial. Even though the article was published at 11:22 AM on Friday &#8211; long after the tapes showed that he was lying &#8211; Fox&#8217;s story made no mention that the tapes existed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49031\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Attempts (and Hysterically Fails) to Contrive a Fake Biden Scandal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is how <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51191\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News manages to keep their audience ignorant<\/a><\/strong> and devoted to the Cult of Trump.
