Fox News to launch documentary series about the Clinton impeachment process - Polidicks

[url]http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/fox-news-scandalous-bill-clinton-impreachment-trump-1202665047/[/url] [quote]With so many critics and pundits envisioning a potential impeachment of President Donald Trump, Fox News Channel will examine the congressional effort to impeach President Bill Clinton in 1998 and 1999 with a seven-part weekend documentary series. The 21st Century Fox-owned cable-news outlet said it would launch “Scandalous,” a “historical documentary series” meant to chronicle the sequence of events around Clinton’s impeachment. The first installment of the series will debut on Sunday, January 21, and will examine the investigations of then-President Bill Clinton by the Office of the Independent Counsel. The one-hour program will be presented for seven consecutive weeks at 8 p.m. on Sundays, where it will go up against “CNN Newsroom” on CNN and Kasie Hunt’s “Kasie DC” on MSNBC. A person familiar with the program said the network hopes the program will become a potential franchise and examine other moments in history.[/quote]

Seriously?

In other news, The Onion are out of a job.

Can't wait to see American hero Newt Gingrich meander around for seven weeks only for it lead nowhere.

How long does anyone think this will try to pretend to be "a documentary" and "impartial" before they end up just picking up off the street, cleaning up and interviewing the tinfoil wearing bum who lives in a dumpster out back of a Denny's about his crazy theory that Clinton is part of some ancient alien conspiracy shit?

Now may not be the best time to remind people that the party standing behind a man that brags about sexual assault, paid off a porn star, has multiple people accusing him of groping them, and god knows what else, is the same party that once tried to impeach someone for lying about a blowjob.

Distract, Deflect, Deny as long as that Bill Clinton gets examined closely for old shit long buried, maybe Glorious Leader Trump might get the heat blown off him somehow before Mueller seizes him by the scruff of the neck

Can't wait to see ”CNN to launch documentary series about the Trump impeachment process” in the headlines two years from now

Who needs Viagra commercials to air during Fox News when they can just say the name "Clinton" and cause their viewers to get Pavlovian Hate Boners.

This got me thinking, how can they make this series without the audience realising the hypocrisy of the Republican party, questioning why Trump can get away with so much shit when they made a stink about things that were minor in comparison? Then I realised that Fox audience's probably don't think very much, and that to them Trump has done no wrong and can do no wrong.

Careful guys, you might not like the hyper partisan quasi bullshit that your party perpetrated.

Almost any other news organization could make this and I would probably watch it but because it's Fox I know it's gonna be biased as hell.

Seven parts? God damn, how short is every episode gonna be? [editline]17th January 2018[/editline] [QUOTE]The one-hour program will be presented for seven consecutive weeks [/QUOTE] A god damn seven-hour documentary on this? How do you do that?

Good! Hopefully it reminds conservatives that the process exists and what it can do.

Trying to distract from a president that who has been caught in over 2000 lies in his first year in office by making a scathing documentary of a president who got caught in one. Moving to impeach Clinton for lying to the public was the right thing to do. Moving to impeach Trump is too.

How are they going to explain why Clinton deserved to be impeached without building an amazing case for impeaching Trump? I'm under no illusion that Trump supporters are actually capable of holding Trump accountable for anything- but Fox is going to have to take steps of some kind to reduce the likelihood of accidentally pointing out Trump's flaws right? I wonder if it will be something as obvious as constantly bleating about Trump's virtue in an otherwise unrelated documentary. [i] "He lied: Something [b]the current president[/b] would never do!![/i]

If and/or when Trump testifies, and is shown to have lied, then the comparison will be easy and direct.

How can they survive the irony
