CNN’s hack media reporter Brian Stelter is very unhappy right now because Fox News has decided not to fall in line with all the other garbage media networks and air the prime time January 6th committee kangaroo court.
Fox News makes it official: It will NOT show Thursday's 1/6 hearing like all the other major networks. Tucker Carlson's show will air as usual. Carlson promotes conspiracy theories about the riot, calls the committee "illegitimate," and ridicules the committee members.

Instead, they will air their prime time shows as usual and will cover the hearing on Fox Business.
Note how upset Stelter is over this, lashing out at Tucker and lamenting the small viewership of Fox Business.
Fox's top news anchors will be moved over to the Fox Business Network, and they will cover the hearing there. At 8pm ET on an ordinary night, Fox News has more than 3 million viewers, while Fox Business has under 100,000. That pretty much says it all about Fox's priorities.

Here's the language from Fox's press release: "Fox News Channel's primetime programs will cover the hearings as news warrants." At 11pm ET, "Gutfeld" will be preempted, and Shannon Bream "will anchor a two-hour live special," joined by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.

I would say that Fox News knows which network butters its bread and I applaud the fact that they aren’t kowtowing to Democrats on this. Because nobody cares about this crap and Fox News ratings will soar because of it.
