Fox News Ignores Joe Biden’s Christmas Speech As POTUS Calls For End Of Poison Policy During Holiday Season

“I sincerely hope that this holiday season will release the poison that has infected our politics and turned us against each other,” an optimistic President Joe Biden said in a Christmas address to the nation this afternoon. However, if the politically adept White House Democrat was hoping to break through the echo chamber of our national discourse, Fox News Channel blasted that desire

While CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the usual cable suspects broadcast POTUS’ speech live, Rupert Murdoch’s station played Scrooge and ignored the whole thing. By focusing on issues like the southern border crisis and the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX and lots of ads for security systems and more, as the partisan trope goes, FNC finds itself in a very different universe than Biden’s comments today — as many times were in the past.

An unexpected call. A quiet cup of coffee. Simple acts of kindness that can lift spirits, bring comfort and maybe even save a life.
