Two changing dynamics could be changing the context of Fox’s coverage of Trump. Trump is still god and all, no problem with that, Bongino had Trump on Fox Saturday night. Trump proved that he might well and truly have lost his mind.

At one point Trump said, “could you imagine if I had an epidemic hit me like the one’s hitting now.” But then he went on to say that even though people say this delta one’s worse, it’s basically the same as he had… none of it made any sense at all, far beyond normal “makes no sense” Trump.

The dynamic on the election is changing, though. Fox will not let Trump sit there and complain about winning the election in a landslide and having it stolen.

In fact, Fox edited out the section in which Trump complained about the rigged election and him winning. Trump’s spox, Liz Harrington went poo-flinging monkey insane on the unfairness of it all on Twitter (much more below):

WOW. So I went to post a clip from President Trump's great interview from @FoxNews last night, and lo and behold, Fox News EDITED and CHANGED what President Trump said, censoring out 45 accurately describing the Fake Election.

Let’s get back to reality a bit.

Part of the dynamic could be nothing more than fear of lawsuits, they’ve already faced real issues with Dominion. But they’re editing out portions where Trump doesn’t even mention anything about how the election was rigged. The dynamic could be driven by the fact that Fox senses this is all about to fall apart on Trump and would like to not be remembered as having interviewed Trump recently and broadcasting that it was all rigged.

We reported twice today on developments with respect to Jeffery Rosen and his testimony regarding Trump’s express instructions, sign a letter saying you found fraud, and I will take care of the rest with Congress.” News tends to hit the actual paper and airwaves 3-5 days before it becomes “fairly known” around Washington. Reporters need time to double-check independent sources (because they are not fake news, they are the best in the world) and word gets around about what’s about to break.

Fox could easily know that things are falling apart for Trump. Rosen testified to DOJ’s inspector general Friday and to the Senate Judiciary Committee Saturday. A stunned Senator Durbin appeared on CNN’s State of the Union this morning and though he couldn’t talk details, he could say he was shocked at how personally involved Trump was. We don’t know what Durbin might have said “Off the record,” or what might’ve been leaked straight from the committee “off the record.”

“Personally involved” are not two words one wants to hear when people are talking about crimes. Fox may know Trump’s about to go through some things and edited out part of the interview. This is the portion Fox edited out and keep in mind, on the very day that Trump gave this interview, Rosen talked to the Senate Judiciary Committee for seven hours about what Trump told him to do:

It’s a disgrace what’s happening, and I don’t think the country’s gonna stand for much longer, they are disgusted. You have a fake election, you have an election with voter abuse and voter fraud like nobody’s ever seen before, and based on that, and based on what happened, they are destroying our country, whether its at the border, whether its on crime, and plenty of instances, including military.

Yes. They are afraid of being sued.

And they will be on the Trump train until it is off the tracks. But they do NOT want video around of very recent interviews with Trump talking about election fraud when the proof is laid bare that he was the one engineering the entire message. It will make Fox look like even bigger idiots. The proof will be out there, and various outlets could use an interview from Fox from just “___ days/weeks ago” while Trump was still making the same claim.

They edited it out. Could be either reason. Could be both.
