On Monday Donald Trump's longtime accounting firm announced that they were discontinuing their association with Trump and disavowing his financial reporting for the past ten years as "unreliable." This comes as Trump is under investigation by the New York Attorney General for lying about the value of his financial assets.
The Mazars accounting firm's unprecedented termination of Trump as a client, along with their notice that ten years of his financial reports "should not be relied on," is a jaw dropping development. It foretells a financial fiasco for the deeply indebted former reality TV game show host. And it suggests that Mazars is cooperating with legal authorities to provide more incriminating information.
Despite the explosive magnitude of this story, Fox News has completely ignored it. There was no mention of it on any of their primetime programs Monday night. There is still no mention of it on their website. It's almost as if Fox News is purposefully trying to make the story disappear because it reflects so disastrously on Dear Leader Trump. Ya think?
In place of the Mazars story that would ordinarily dominate the news cycle at a journalistically credible operation, Fox News is relentlessly plugging a story that has absolutely no substantive news value. That story concerns a filing by the flagrantly partisan special counsel, John Durham, that rambles on tediously about an attorney who reported suspicious Internet activity between Trump and Russian computer networks.
Fox News has been completely distorting the Durham Nothingburger to falsely claim that it proves that Hillary Clinton was spying on Trump. There is no truth to that whatsoever, and the filing doesn't even make that allegation. But that didn't stop Sean Hannity from fictionalizing the story. He ranted that...
"Here's where this is even worse than Watergate. Not only did they hack into the opposing campaign and steal material like in the case of Watergate, but then they hacked into the office of the president of this great country, according to Durham's blockbuster filing late Friday."
To be clear, no one hacked into Trump's campaign, and no one stole any materials. Nor did anyone hack into the office of the president, and Durham never alleged that they did. Nevertheless, Trump is furious that other news networks weren't fooled by Durham's fact-free deflection. And so is Fox News...
It's ironic that Fox is so outraged by the media properly passing on the Durham probe fabrications, when they are so flagrantly ignoring the real story about Trump's financial corruption. It's just more proof that Fox has never been a news network. And it's why their audience is so pitifully uninformed, or even worse, misinformed, about everything from the Biden economic boom, to the COVID pandemic, to the 2020 presidential election, and so much more. They are the "New Ignorati." And that's exactly how Fox News wants them.
