After Trump was arraigned in Miami on thirty-seven federal counts Tuesday, Fox News carried his speech live and then split the screen to show President Biden speaking (with no sound, of course) on the left.

This was a fairly innocuous event since many networks do the same thing at times in their news coverage.

However, in just a few seconds, the true motive of Fox News was revealed for why they ran the segment with a split screen.

Fox New displayed the most disparaging chyron they could come up with to smear a sitting US president.

Because facts still matter, it must be noted that the grand jury in Florida comprised of ordinary citizens indicted Trump on evidence presented that would have already had any ordinary citizen jailed without bail. Biden didn't have a damn thing to do with it.

Even as Fox News ratings are slipping, they continue to act like an arm of the Republican Party and the MAGA cult, slipping farther into their own fantasy of a right-wing MAGA country where they are the voice of the land.

Parody Biden responded with Dark Biden vibes:
