Fox News Cuts Away from President Trump’s Impeachment Defense

Fox News cut away from President Donald Trump’s defense in his Senate impeachment trial several times on Monday in favor of panel discussions or interviews rather than the live feed of the proceedings.

Fox spent much of the 5 p.m. EST program hour with its popular panel discussions show, The Five. Later, it cut away during The Story with Martha McCallum for interviews with former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Ranking Member on the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), among others.

Video footage of President Trump’s legal team making their arguments continued to play, but the audio was muted.

Other, competing cable news networks — including those openly hostile to President Trump, including MSNBC and CNN — remained with the live video and audio feed from the floor of the U.S. Senate, as they had done during the House Democrat impeachment managers’ opening arguments against the president last week.

CBS, ABC, NBC and even PBS (Maryland Public Broadcasting) cut away during the break @2:55 to meaningless regular programming and did not return. I don't have cable so had to go online to hear Pam Bondi. And what a brilliant amazing job Pam did!

What the hell is wrong with the disgusting arrogant liberal media? Traitors! Why are they so hellbent on destroying this Country? This is a political war we cannot afford to lose. Socialism.... or Freedom! Lose all.... or win all!

Chris Wallace has let is inner libtard take control.
I can't stand to watch him with his gotcha questions to Republicans and his constant interruptions when the Republican starts making points.

Actually the POTUS defense team sunk and debunked the House Manager's case on day one, Saturday. The rest is merely icing on the cake with former Clinton case Ken Starr and Alan Derschowitz (sp) testimony. Juan Williams is paid to be the counterpoint and Chris Wallace drills down no matter who or what the subject. FOX...fair, balanced, and unafraid. The House Managers have nothing of substance that would be supported in any court. The 6 "on the fence" senators are the bait to keep the suspense in high gear and Bolton's "revelation" is a nothing burger.

Northwest Woodsman: Those of you who are as aggravated with our fake news media and want answers to what is happening, go to the website Occidental Observer and read : “Ways of seeing: Who Determines Your Reality”. It is an eye opener and reveals the most significant threat to our freedom and to the plots to destroy our country. Seriously, read it and you will be shocked. Again, facts with footnotes and comments that can not be refuted.
