Megyn Kelly says Fox’s Venezuela coverage is like Russian state TV propaganda – she’s right
On Monday, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly criticized the network’s coverage of the Trump administration’s attack on Venezuela, saying it was akin to “watching Russian propaganda,” and noting, “There was nothing skeptical.” Sure enough, Fox figures have spent the last few days heaping obsequious praise on the president, calling the operation “justice in action” and “absolutely phenomenal on every level.”
The network also attacked Democratic dissenters as “immature” and “anti-American,” arguing that they “actually like dictators.”
