MEDIA WINNER: Laura Ingraham Fox News’ Laura Ingraham opened her show with a blunt message to viewers that President Donald Trump’s chances of serving another four years are almost certainly over. “As unpleasant and disappointing as these past three weeks have been to so many of us, as much as we wish things were different, this is where things stand tonight,” Ingraham said. She told viewers, “Unless the legal situation changes in a dramatic and unlikely manner, Joe Biden will be inaugurated on January 20th.” Ingraham clarified, “Now, to say this does not mean I don’t think that the selection was rife with problems and potential fraud. And to say this does not constitute being a sellout to the conservative populist movement that I’ve been fighting for for 25 years. And it does not mean that I disagree all with the president’s right and obligation to pursue all legitimate legal challenges to this outcome.” “To say this,” said Ingraham, “constitutes living in reality." "And if I offered you a false reality, if I told you that there was an excellent, phenomenal chance that the Supreme Court was going to step in and deliver a victory to President Trump, I would be lying to you," she added. The Fox News host continued to expand at length, explained that challenges in court must of course be settled. But Ingraham really said it all - if rather late - when she said "living in reality." A hard dose of needed medicine. |
