That woman whining that she got pepper sprayed epitomizes this. She was upset she took one step inside the Capitol and got pepper sprayed.

She explained to the reporter, "We're having a revolution." It was so clueless to the seriousness of what had happened.
 
Jenny Cudd the MAGA rioter who begged the judge to let her go on a work-related bonding holiday to Mexico is looking at twenty-years' worth of felony charges slapped on her. I doubt she will get twenty years, but hopefully enough for Cudd to chew the cud over what she has done.

BTW if you want a good look at the state of mind of the Trumpists go to the comments section of "THe Hill"

But on a gas mask first. It is truly a cesspool.
And, to be honest, the Anti Trump side does not exacly cover itself in glory either;they quickly descend to the same level of name calling.

That was... unexpected.

(To anyone who hasn't followed the link, his firing may have been because some of his conspiracy theories involved voting machines, and the manufacturers of said machines are looking at starting lawsuits.)

I wonder if firing Dobbs would be enough to appease them (meaning the makers of the voting machines)? Hope not... Dobbs may have been the person on air, but the network itself was aware of what he was doing/saying.

They filed lawsuits yesterday against Fox, Dobbs, Pirro and Bartiromo.

The blood is in the water, and the sharks are circling. I wonder if the Grim Reaper will come for any of Fox's Big 3? Stay tuned!

Fox News is having some trouble lately...

Their ratings have fallen over the past month (and they are placing 3rd among the big cable networks, behind CNN and MSNBC). They are losing to networks that have a more 'centrist' view, but they are also losing viewers to even further-right wing sources like OANN and NewsMax.

Fox spent years doing their best to support Trump, and at the end of the day Trump rewarded their loyalty the best way he knew how... telling the MAGAchud to watch other networks.

I don't think they are going to just accept heads.

Remember Gawker? I'm not a big fan of journalists being sued. But FOX News ignored its responsibility to perform any due diligence. It's not like they reported these lies once, but over and over and over and over again.

There is easily proven recklessness and malice.

Frankly I believe that FOX has been making billions for decades through lying with premeditation.

Everything that Trump touches dies.

In addition to lawsuits:

[Very popular show] ...But his far-right programming choices repeatedly caused consternation within the company, a source close to the matter said, and his program was a loss leader for Fox because many advertisers didn't want to be associated with his content.

Bottom line isn't the viewers, it's the advertisers they attract.
