Another day, another disgrace.

France WAS defeated in WWII, partly because the US refused to get involved, mind you, their partisans were a vital part of the eventual victory.

President Trump then went for a walk in Lafayette Square it ensure that irony was dead.

So, there might be something going on.

FOX News' Twitter account has been silent the last two days.  This silence has coincided with tamping down on the MAGA crazy and a visit from Murdoch to McConnell.  Giuliani has been quiet for the same period of time.  Wikileaks, Drudge and National Enquirer have also gone quiet, not tweeting in several days or, in the case of Drudge, completely scrubbing their account.

This is all happening the same time period that Trump is having his weird "can't be bothered to do Veterans Day" thing.

Well, I'm now very worried.

Supposedly, Fox is boycotting Twitter over the handling of the doxxing of Tucker Carlson, and the resulting protest at his house.

[chaotic neutral observer]

An odd sort of boycott, since Fox is so far silent on the subject, and we hear of it only from third parties.

What's the point of a boycott if you don't tell anyone?

[Cain]

And Fox's usual MO is to whine and play the victim.

I've seen speculation that it is Mueller-linked, but people are always saying that about everything.  On the other hand, Mifsud, the missing professor, has suddenly reappeared and wants to testify to the Senate.

I've suspected that this so-called "Antifa Attack" was staged, as I also suspect many others to be. Getting attacked by Antifa is an easy way for people on the right, (or alt-right) to beef up their street cred.

Why in the world wouldn't they just hire some guys in balaclavas to come yell at and/or attack them? Journalistic integrity? 

[Cain]

Well, Tucker's reporting of the incident differs quite significantly from the police report....

Wasn't Guiliani ranting something about how Obama should try to be as presidential as Trump?

Or was that just something he said to a random reporter?

[Doktor Howl]

More shameless bullshit:

Well, this is interesting.

I mean, everyone knows that Farage is a shitty little punk, but the idea that's he's an actual traitor to the crown is kinda fun.

This sounds much bigger then it initially would appear: their entire bread and butter is maintaining a direct rapport with their audience.The only thing that would make them silent is some kind of legal ugliness and not just a gag order and subpoena because Fox would relish the thought of violating that and paying the contempt.

I see a Mueller-shaped empty spot in Fox.
