It's the next distraction. They have a new one queued up every week until November.

Very effective tactic. Only solution is to ignore all non local stuff until just before elections.

As wild as this is, its very true… idk about till November as I think their playbook repeats too often. Regardless, I have friends that run mobile studio vans for on-air guests whose major client is fox news… they get schedules two weeks in advance of guests. Locations… scheduling, production, logistics all takes time and planning obviously… the studios and powers at be absolutely have already thought in advance what stories they’ll be pushing! Not to say random last minute events don’t happen constantly throwing a wrench in things… but regardless the over arching narratives and news cycle are already mostly planned out.

Ooh, like an advent calendar of crazy!

Me? I'd rather just keep reading through mentions of Trump in the Epstein files.
