I know it's Fox News

"When asked in the Fox News interview if Comey should be locked up, Trump agreed. But he also hedged a bit."

The press really has to stop using Trump's wording in questions ("Fake news," "locked up," etc.). Even if Comey had committed a possible crime, he shouldn't be "locked up." "Investigated" or "indicted," okay. But the reporter using the term "locked up" echoes Trump's "Lock her up!" which suggests that the president has the power to order people into prison. The reporter is accepting by that terminology that immediate imprisonment without trial is normal.

I don't like them even accepting Trump's version of what might have happened, but at least, "Do you think Comey committed a crime, and if so, what is the crime?"
pushes him to go beyond his thuggish threats. I wish they would ask, "Please name the actual crimes you are accusing them of."

As part of a story, NPR played a clip of OrangeTurd saying “Paul Manefort was with the campaign, what? 49 days?”

They didn’t call out the lie, they let it pass.

The media needs to stop quoting the false memes that AssHole promotes.

They could simply say, in a series of dishonest tweets, Trump lied about xy&z.
