Fox News 'feast of disinformation' on Trump trial will come back to bite GOP: Morning Joe

Raw Story  

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough warned Republicans that Fox News "disinformation" about Donald Trump's criminal convictions would hurt their election chances later this year. A Manhattan jury convicted the former president on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up other crimes, and the "Morning Joe" host said he and Mika Brzezinski, his wife and co-host, watched some of the conservative network's coverage of the verdict and were appalled by what they saw. I reminded her of what happened in 2012, which is, Fox News kept telling everybody that Mitt Romney was going to beat Barack Obama up until Election Night. "I don't mean to be pollyannaish about it," Scarborough added, "but if people just want to watch Fox News between now and the election, if they want to just feast on disinformation, if they want to be blind to what swing state voters want to hear about and what they care about, does not hurt Joe Biden, doesn't hurt the Democrats.
