Martha MacCallum, which your rating system describes as “annoyingly conservative” has taken a position of bias against the president when anyone with a scrap of fairness recognizes the liberal democratic position about him is so far outside the realm of “fair and balanced” that it is utterly ridiculous. Yet MacCallum apparently doesn’t subscribe to this viewpoint, She suspects Trump because she thinks he didn’t act appropriately quite quickly enough. She really thinks she knows something and you can see it in her squinting eyes and her doubtful questions and remarks when talking to WH spokespeople. I think she overplays the intrepid reporter routine in an effort to justify her personal biases.
Martha gives considerably more leeway to her liberal guests than she does to conservatives.
What’s up with the Fox News Poll … Biden 49? Trump 40? Who did you poll? Martha appears left-leaning in her coverage of this. I liked her but don’t want to watch her show anymore as there are enough left-wing news programs. Too bad.
