    Default “FOX NEWS HAS A BRAND NEW CONSPIRACY FOR THE BIDEN ERA”

    “Fox News’ Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson have latched onto a new conspiracy theory in the waning days of Donald Trump’s presidency and the beginning of Joe Biden’s, telling viewers that the incoming president and the federal government are attempting to intimidate and silence conservatives—and using footage of the heightened military presence in Washington, D.C. to support their claim.”

    “As thousands of National Guard troops streamed into Washington from across the country in the wake of the deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump extremists—a movement Fox’s conspiracy-filled election coverage helped fuel—Hannity on Monday claimed Democrats are behind “a chilling, Orwellian effort … to silence, cancel, any opposition voices,” while Carlson pointed to the sight of the fortified capital ahead of the inauguration as a show of force from Democrats intending to send the message: “Do not question us. Men with guns enforce our decrees”

    “It is an indication of the direction the network may take in a post-Trump world, when there’s no president to spin conspiracies via tweet for its talking heads to parrot.”

    Without Trump to idealize, appears Fox is going the QAnon route, they know where the bucks are, conspiracies also sell on the right, and the majority at Fox have been doing it for years

    I have to ask, is reading Vanity Fair the magazine equivalent of watching The View?

    I don't think so. Vanity Fair produces some pretty substantive reporting. The View is a soap opera.
