Fox News to Donald Trump: “Get involved in politics!”
Hypocrites.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Right-wing activists have indulged in baseless speculation that Ms. Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — a kind of ur-American couple of football star and wholesome pop icon — is a contrivance engineered by Democrats, or perhaps the National Football League, to trick unsuspecting Americans into boosting Super Bowl ratings or voting for Mr. Biden in November.
Swift flies on a private plane, “yet she constantly talks about climate change.” It was the sort of eco-scolding that rarely turns up on a cable network whose guests often voice skepticism about global warming.
Swift said that Mr. Soros’s son, Alex, helped fund the sale of her song catalog to the producer Scooter Braun.
Another “Hannity” guest, the Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt, told viewers not to dismiss the bizarre conspiracies about Ms.
“Republicans haven’t won the Popular Vote in 20 years so now we’re trying the novel strategy of attacking one of the most beloved pop stars on the planet & … the NFL,” Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration official and a co-host of “The View,” wrote on X.
On Brian Kilmeade’s Saturday show, he asked the Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer about the Swift phenomenon.
The original article contains 811 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Fox News: You're not playing fair!
Fox News: :: gets bodied by Swift's Superbowl ratings, sheer size of fanbase ::
Fantasy universe: Taylor Swift and Biden announce her support of his campaign and acceptance of the position of Vice President. Trump really finds out that he is not as popular as Taylor Swift.
Wow, they have fucking lost the plot.
Something tells me that the Kelce family does NOT lean too Left...
Something tells me they might start to after this.
