Rep. Cohen Says Fox News Is Worse than Russia’s State Run Television for Not Running Jan. 6 Hearings

‘Fox has the predominance of Trump supporters and Republicans’

EXCERPT:

COHEN: "It is going to be difficult. I know CNN — the new leadership is looking toward going to more toward the middle and getting a broader viewership, but Fox has the predominance of Trump supporters and Republicans and it is harder to get the news through Fox than it is to get it in Russia through the Russian television. They will not run the hearings. They will probably not report much on them. If they do, they'll mostly have Jim Jordan and Elise Stefanik saying things that Democrats are communists and pedophiles and you name it. So, it is hard to get across to them. But there is a middle ground, there is what we always call the suburban housewife, independents, who will listen and recoil at what they learn about the president’s direct involvement and direction, the fact that on the day of the insurrection, instead of acting to protect the Capitol and legislature, he was enjoying it, he was watching it on television and cheering for his team to win, and that was for America to lose. So I think the hearings are going to be very important.”
