Today's Tiedrich rant: what the fuck does Fox News think it's doing [View all]



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/what-the-fuck-does-fox-news-think

let’s take a closer look at the situation that led a juror to be excused from Trump’s trial.

because Donny Fuckstick and his merry band of violent cultists are a collective menace to society, precautions have to be taken to ensure the anonymity of the jurors in his trial. at the start of each day of jury selection, the defense is given a sheet of paper with the prospective jurors’ names. they’re not allowed to photograph the list. they can’t copy it. they have to hand it back at the end of the day.

apparently, these measures were not enough to assure the safety of everyone involved, because smirking Fox News fratboy Jesse Watters — who apparently thinks endangering the life of an innocent person is an amusing joke — challenged his viewers to connect the dots and figure out who the jurors were.



“juror number two. a nurse from the upper east side, with a masters degree. she’s not married, has no kids, lives with her fiancee who works in finance. she gets her news from The New York Times, Google, and CNN. she said two things that really stuck out. one quote: ‘I really don’t have an opinion of Trump,’ and quote ‘no one is above the law.’ I’m not so sure about juror number two.”


within seconds, juror number two’s phone started blowing up, with friends and family members calling and texting. is this you, are you the juror they’re talking about on Fox News?

This is a righteous rant by Jeff Tiedrich, calling out Faux Noise and Jesse Watters. We know what they're doing, they're encouraging the MAGAs to do whatever they can to intimidate the jury. It's a naked dog whistle, and it worked at least once, maybe more.

There's much more on today's rant. Please click on the OP link and read the rest on Tiedrich's blog "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."
