Fox News Hosts Acted Differently Off Camera, Defector Jonah Goldberg Says

[Guno צְבִי]

Former Fox News contributor who left the network in protest of their coverage of the Capitol attack has accused the channel's hosts of being dishonest in their support of Donald Trump.

In a lengthy opinion piece for The Dispatch, Jonah Goldberg hit out at Fox News for being "complicit in so many lies," including continuing to praise the former president post-election and after the January 6 insurrection.


I know that a huge share of the people you saw on TV praising Trump were being dishonest," Goldberg wrote. "I don't merely suspect it, I know it, because they would say one thing to my face or in my presence and another thing when the cameras and microphones were flipped on.


Goldberg also said Fox News adopted a "whataboutism" defense so as not to criticize the former president as a reason to leave the "prime time Trumpism" network.

Goldberg used examples such as bringing up Bill Clinton's sexual assault allegations when the claims against Trump emerged, or Hannity discussing how the media focuses on the Capitol riot over the disorder at Black Lives Matter protests last summer.

"Eventually, I felt like a cog in the whataboutist machinery," Goldberg said.

The difference is they know what they are doing. They are like Jones on Infowars who said he was an actor playing a role for huge bucks. The Fox Gnus people are doing the same thing. What is sad is the followers are too damn stupid to figure it out.

This guy is completely useless as a witness, his nose is out of joint because so many people across America have rejected him, with some not at all happy with the quality of his entire career.

What he said is true. As rightys do, you attacked the source without mentioning what he claimed he knew. He was an insider. You are not.

Fox has a complete staff vaccination. They are all vaccinated. Fox just lies to rightys who want to believe.
The entire station is a bed of lies and hypocrisy.

My level of caring about a FOX/CNN/MSM anchor/on-air personality?

Is like me caring about what my neighbors had for dinner...barely at all.

And the total internet is predicated on your caring. Some of us did not know that or its significance.

Really?
And how exactly are you aware of what the entire internet thinks?

And you obviously care about what I think...or you would not have typed your post.
Your attention is so gratifying.
