Fox News host slams networks that won't air Trump's lies uninterrupted

On Tuesday, during the Fox News daytime show “Outnumbered,” co-host Bill Hemmer angrily told CNN and MSNBC to “take the ‘news’ out of your name” because they’ve failed to air every moment of a multiply indicted, dictator-loving, self-described sexually assaulting presidential candidate’s screechy, lie-filled screeds about exterminating the liberal vermin who refuse to allow our country to heal from the tragic death of Ashli Babbitt.

After complaining about the “Trump derangement syndrome” the networks supposedly exhibited in the wake of the Supreme Court decision allowing Donald Trump back on the Colorado ballot, Hemmer whined that those networks refused to carry more than a few minutes of Trump’s recent primary victory speeches.

It must feel weird to be schooled on journalistic standards by a Fox News employee—even one who used to work at CNN. One imagines it would be a bit like a restaurateur getting a one-star Yelp review from a guy who sells roadkill and expired cans of Tab out of the back of his windowless white van.

But when you have 24 hours of airtime to fill and only 22 hours of regularly scheduled nonsense to fill it with, you have to riff a bit. Which means some of the nonsense inevitably comes off as somewhat less practiced and marginally more nonsensical.
