How's Fox News handling the Mar-a-Lago search?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Last night, Fox created fake news by altering a photograph:

That's despicable. (It was also a sloppy job of photoshopping but I don't think that matters to their audience.)
Next: imagine how Fox would have handled a similar situation under Obama:
I'm just trying to wrap my head around what Republicans and Fox News would be saying right now if Barack Obama took nuclear documents from the White House and refused to return them... but I don't think I'm even capable of imagining such a full tilt, manic, raving meltdown.

You don’t have to imagine; here’s Fox on Hillary Clinton:

I have not seen an actual content analysis, but I liked this summary of Fox's content:
I turned on Fox this morning to see what they were saying about the former president stealing & hiding classified nuclear documents.
