ANALYSIS/OPINION:
In November 2020, days after President-elect Joe Biden delivered his first of many hollow “time to heal” speeches, Daily Beast Editor-At-Large Molly Jong-Fast came swinging at Fox News.
Her column, “Fox News is No Longer Insane Enough for Its Viewers,” while correct in its assertion that the network has dropped in ratings, erroneously postulates that it is because the cable news channel failed to provide “an endless montage of ‘boomer outrage porn,’ like videos of people dressed in black clothing who were deemed ‘antifa’.” Instead, she argues that Fox “wanted to play things straight” on election night, and not pedal in conspiracy theories.
