Rep. Ron Wright has died from Covid-19, his office announces

WASHINGTON — Rep. Ron Wright, R-Texas, died Sunday from Covid-19, his office said Monday.

Alabama US Sen. Shelby announces he won’t seek a 7th term

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Richard C. Shelby of Alabama, the Senate’s fourth most senior member, announced Monday that he will not seek a seventh term in office in 2022.
A titan of Alabama politics, the 86-year-old politician has spent 42 years in Washington, serving first in the House and then the Senate. His stepping down will leave a power void for the region and will set off a free-for-all primary.
“For everything, there is a season,” Shelby said. “I am grateful to the people of Alabama who have put their trust in me for more than forty years. I have been fortunate to serve in the U.S. Senate longer than any other Alabamian.” […] – US News, Feb. 8, 2021

All those lies have finally caught up to Fox. I bet more of those hosts get kicked out just to protect Fox from more legal trouble. I cannot wait to see how all this turns out.

NPR:
On Fox News, they talk a lot about so-called cancel culture – when someone is ostracized for a transgression. Well, now it is one of the – former President Trump’s greatest boosters who has gotten canceled from his Fox Business Network show. Very little explanation was given, but it happened just a day after a voting tech company sued Fox, Lou Dobbs and two other Fox News stars for $2.7 billion.

So the Frankenstein monster that Faux News played a huge role in helping to create is now threating to eat them and the Republican party alive.

We know that despite branding itself as a “News Network,” Faux was never that. It is today what it was always actually meant to be. A right-wing Neo-Confederate propaganda network created for the purpose of appealing to mostly “poorly educated” blue-collar, white nationalists, white supremacists, gun-nuts an other assorted right-wing extremists in order to garner votes for the Republican party.

Basically, a cable version of right-wing talk-radio, feeding red meat to haters, racists, nutjobs and know-nothings.

But if this lawsuit actually goes to trial gonna be interesting to see/hear just how Faux describes itself in a Court of Law. I won’t be a bit surprised if Faux tries to settle this out of court.
