    Republicans didn’t learn a damn thing from Watergate.

      Wrong!

      They learned they’d never let one of their criminals face punishment ever again. As a result they created FOX News in order to always be able to control the narrative and always muddy the waters.

      It has worked brilliantly for them so far. And the only cost has been a complete erosion in the trust of news, complete erosion in civil discourse complete erosion in bi partisanship.

      They have taken a metal pipe to democracy’s kneecaps just to make sure their criminals never have to pay any real consequences.

      All of this btw is fully documented. I’m sad to say say, but some brilliant minds put a lot of work into establishing and creating fox news… It’s very sad.

      It’s kind of like today we have brilliant engineers spending their time fighting ad blockers and shoving ads down people’s throats.

        Fox Entertainment.

        Remember, they’re not a news source so let’s remind everyone of that every time we mention them.

      They learned they can get away with it.

      Because, IIRC, Nixon didn’t die in jail…
