Biden’s speech (watch in full here<\/a><\/strong>, or read transcript here<\/a><\/strong>) was both a warning of the fragility of our nation’s freedoms, and a tribute to its resilience. The overarching message of the speech was one of hope and inspiration to persevere on behalf of the principles endowed to us by our founders. It was a far cry from the rancid anger, bitterness, and vengeful self-adoration of Trump’s remembrances of the day.<\/p>\n SEE THIS: Trump\u2019s Uber-MAGA 2024 Campaign Message Reeks of the 3rd Reich Rhetoric of the \u2018Final Battle\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Naturally, the reaction from Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, aka Fox News, was a perverse distortion of reality. Immediately following the address, Fox’s alleged “news”<\/em> anchor, Martha MacCallum, offered her decidedly biased opinion of the speech and of Biden himself. Which we’ll get to shortly. But first it is important to note that MacCallum couldn’t get through her commentary without defending Fox News from a brief mention that Biden made about the network (video below)<\/em>. She complained that…<\/p>\n “He took a couple potshots at this network, which more people in America watch than any other network in the country. So I don’t know if they feel like that represents someone who is president to all of America. So in those sections not a terribly unifying or reaching out speech here.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n First of all, Fox News is not watched by more people in America than any other network. All three broadcast networks have more viewers than Fox. And the only reason that Fox News tops the list of cable news networks is because it is has an effective monopoly on the conservative audience, while all of the other networks divide the remaining viewers.<\/p>\n More to the point, MacCallum’s assertion that criticism of Fox News means that Biden isn’t “president to all of America”<\/em> is preposterous. Fox’s approximately three million primetime viewers are less than 1% of the nation’s population. And no political leader should feel compelled to “unify”<\/em> with a small television audience comprised of extremists who believe lies so flagrant<\/a><\/strong> that the network settled a defamation lawsuit for 3\/4 of a billion dollars for deliberately lying.<\/p>\n SEE ALSO: The Fox News 3\/4 Billion Dollar Dominion Defamation Settlement is Also a Judgment Against Trump<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n For the record, the “potshots”<\/em> that Biden took at Fox News were accurate and well deserved. He noted correctly that “Fox News agreed to pay a record $787 million for the lies they told about voter fraud.”<\/em> He further said that…<\/p>\n “When the attack on January 6th happened, there was no doubt about the truth. At the time, even Republican members of Congress and Fox News commentators publicly and privately condemned the attack. […] now these MAGA voices who know the truth about Trump on January 6th have abandoned the truth and abandoned democracy. They made their choice. Now the rest of us \u2014 Democrats, independents, mainstream Republicans \u2014 we have to make our choice.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cEven Republican members of Congress and Fox News commentators publicly and privately condemned the attack\u2026Now these MAGA voices, who know the truth about Trump on 1\/6, have abandoned the truth and abandoned democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Biden rips Republicans who changed their tune about 1\/6 pic.twitter.com\/3mNDo5v4Yh<\/a><\/p>\n — The Recount (@therecount) January 5, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
