how to cover Minnesota and Greenland

The state of Fox News, and sure you skip and hop off there off to Newsmax and OANN for a further nausea, but keeping to Fox News as the central Republican clearinghouse. And in the days of Trump, this gets especially loopy. I could always paint the picture of the hidey-holes and rationalizations and re-directions for ICE’s presence in Minneapolis — Sean Hannity’s cameraman reporter chases a protester (thankfully a well-spoken one) and finds his bottom line question — “you don’t think we should not apprehend illegal immigrants?” — a matter I am more agnostic on than most of the protesters but which is a question thoroughly irrelevant to this situation at hand. Or… same saying as the argument on illegal immigration… “a right way, and a wrong way”.

But if I basically know what all that works out to — and somewhere looming is a celebration of Bill Maher and any other celebrity that makes enough a “both sider” balance of politics as you see MSNow spotlight Joe Rogan.

Curious as you move off of this story and onto some things that are not even in the realm of moving further on issues and positions moved into the mainstream for decades. What is really freaky, and bizarre, and loopy, is seeing the Republican mouthpiece of Fox News keeping a straight face and not missing a beat in describing Trump administration and calls on getting Greenland. As though nothing is abnormal or utterly bizarre about this. And it is a straight-way story, nothing odd about it.
