Readers Write: Liz Cheney, Trump supporters and network ratings. Is Fox News a ‘chicken’ network?

Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney’s book “Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning” is in fact a warning that democracy is at stake if Trump is elected.

She provides details that he’s already attempted to seize power, new details on the capitol riot and so much more about how dangerous he is and his capability to be even worse.

The book is getting great publicity. Congresswoman Cheney has given interviews with many of the television network’s anchors.

Included were Rachel Maddow and Nicole Wallace of MSNBC, John Dickerson of “CBS News Sunday Morning,” Savannah Guthrie of NBC’s Today show, Kasie Hunt of CNN, “The Beat” with Ari Melber, and panelists on “Meet the Press” and Morning Joe. Newspapers have also given the book great exposure.

Hey, Trump supporters! Did you notice what network is missing from the above list? It’s the Fox News network or should I say the chicken network.

You would think that a news network would have enough highly qualified anchors who could hold their own with one former congresswoman who hopefully would be allowed to present her facts without interruptions.

From a ratings point of view, the audience would be overwhelming. In addition to the normal Fox News audience, the MSNBC and CNN audience would flock to Fox to see this heavyweight title bout.

You would think that Fox would welcome Liz Cheney with open arms, who from 2017 to 2020, Trump’s term as president, voted with him 92.9% of the time and was one of the most conservative members of the House of Representatives.

From 2019 to 2021, she held the 3rd highest position in House Republican leadership.

And, from a Republican Party point of view, few families have had more loyalty to the party than the Cheney’s?

Her father, Dick Cheney, served as the Vice President of the United States under President George W, Bush from 2001 to 2009.  However, he voiced support for his daughter and called Trump “a maniac” and commended his daughter’s decision to vote for impeachment.

Why should Liz Cheney be believed.? As she stated, “As a conservative Republican, the most conservative of conservative principles is reverence for the rule of law. The Trump Department of Justice investigated the former president’s claims of widespread fraud and found no evidence to support them.

The election is over. This is the rule of law. This is our constitutional process. Those who refuse to accept the rulings of our courts are at war with the Constitution.

Today we face a threat America has never seen before. A former president who provoked a violent attack on this Capitol in an effort to steal the election has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him. He risks inciting further violence.”

Hopefully, Fox will agree to remove the chicken label.
