The Trump family's conflicts of interest are of no interest to Fox News

Fox News programs that fixated on the international business interests of Hunter Biden, former President Joe Biden’s son, are utterly uninterested in the voluminous conflicts of interest between President Donald Trump and his family members and the Persian Gulf states affected by his strategically disastrous war of choice against Iran.

The president, his eldest sons, Don Jr. and Eric, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are enmeshed in a sprawling set of business deals in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar. Those deals often involve members of the royal families of those states or the entities they control.

But since just before the beginning of the year, as Trump’s saber-rattling led to U.S. military deployments and became the war launched by American and Israeli forces on Feb. 28, through April 8, Fox’s evening programs that air from 5 p.m. to midnight ET have referenced such Trump family conflicts of interest only twice — both of which were passing mentions, and neither of which came during a discussion of the Iran conflict — according to a Media Matters review of the Nexis transcript database.

No substantive evidence ever emerged that Joe Biden profited from Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.

...we need to do SOMETHING about the total propaganda networks like Fox Nazi, OAN, Newsmax, etc. I respect the first amendment, but there has to be some way to clean up the constant bullshit these networks shovel to brainwash their viewers. Fairness Doctrine, or something like it? Those networks do as much to foment division and hatred as anything.
