Propagandists now saying FoxNews poll showing 51% for impeachment was "misinterpreted"

I thought this was the United States?

I thought the media was the "fourth estate". A de facto independent watchdog over the 3 branches of government.

Within days of the AG visiting Murdoch, Shep Smith is gone and they are saying their OWN POLL was wrong. This is open outright propaganda with the Fox News acting as the official mouthpiece of the executive branch.

We need some serious new legislation about drawing lines between the government and the media.

Trump says something demonstrably false, which he knows to be a lie, and Fox steps up to complain that his remarks were taken out of context, or explain "what Trump really meant." As if a 73-year-old man can't speak for himself.
