Digging the Hole Deeper

For John, BLUF:  The media as a whole, now with Fox News Corp piling on, is carelessly dismissing the idea of Fraud in our recent national elections.  Yet we see before our eyes ballot counting that is not following the rules.  Following the rules, playing fair, is part of what makes for Democracy.  A little fraud is one thing.  Massive, in your face, breakinhg of the rules is something else.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

WATCH:  Fox News Cuts Off Kayleigh McEnany as She Details Alleged Voter Fraud

From PJ Media, by Columnist Matt Margolis, 9 November 2020.

Here is the lede plus two:

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was explaining voter fraud issues during a press conference.  Fox News was actually covering the press conference, that was until Neil Cavuto decided to cut her off.  “Whoa, whoa, whoa.  I just think we have to be very clear,” Cavuto interjected.  “She’s charging the other side as welcoming fraud and illegal voting.  Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue to show you this.”

Trump campaign legal adviser Jenna Ellis reacted to Cavuto’s brazen actions.  “I didn’t realize Neil had left Fox to join the federal bench in Pennsylvania and already reviewed our 105-page lawsuit filed less than an hour ago,” she tweeted.

“The enormity of what’s happening in media cannot be ignored.  If an attorney held a press conference and said she has evidence exonerating her client, the press should NOT cut away and substitute its own judgment, claiming no proof.  That’s acting as a party in interest, not press,” Ellis added.

What was Mr Cavuto, or his Producer, thinking in not only cutting off White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, but also providing derogatory commentary, impugning her integrity?

I think Fox News Crop is digging a hole for itself.
