      The Fox News article cites Todd Blanche as the evidence that the US DOJ is redacting government officials. Todd Blanche is appointed by Trump. The Fox News article quoted the Todd Blanche memo and said that it was Todd Blanche doing the redaction.

          I guess “the government” isn’t the people that get elected or appointed. That’s just what happens on TV. “The government” is the hidden cabal of Democrats that control everything behind the scenes while the Republicans on TV valiantly fight against them, but somehow never succeed despite winning all the time. They’re the plucky underdogs fighting the deepstate!

          At least until they give up on Republicans too, and then they just blame the Jews.

              I think your analysis is inaccurate because we are not talking about the “average Fox News viewer”. There are different branches of Fox News. There are even local Fox News channels which are not similar to the reporting of Fox News National. We’re talking about an ARTICLE on the Fox News WEBSITE.

              The article published on Fox News Digital which says that politician names have been redacted was not reported on the Fox News television channel. The extent of the reporting on the Fox News television segments was spotty and ranged from sparse photos of Bill Clinton to briefly mentioning that the files were overly redacted. The Fox News television channel tried to report the release as little as possible. The Fox News channel aired interviews with Todd Blanche himself saying that the release was lawful. Fox News television even had a segment where they claimed that the release had ‘too much information’.

              Do you think that the average Fox News viewer also reads the Fox News website? Does the average Fox News viewer even knows how to read?

              I know what the mind of an American hog is like. Why do you think that you’re the hog whisperer?

      Your analysis is not correct. Even MTG (the congressmember who got elected for being a qanon conspiracy theorist) is quoting the Fox News digital reports to say that names of government officials were protected. MTG has made herself into a Trump rival and Trump even retracted his endorsements of MTG. Trump started saying that MTG’s new name is ‘Marjorie Traitor Brown’.

      This tweet does not indicate that Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that Trump’s US DOJ is protecting Democrats. MTG is not making the association of “government officials” being “only democrats”. Your assumption is entirely baseless.
