    At the risk of sounding defeatist, even if they did cover this, it wouldn’t move the needle any. In fact, most of their viewing audience would probably just agree with him. I’ll say it again and again… they are beyond redemption.

      It’s worth noting that I doubt there’s a single thing put on air on fox that isn’t dial-tested by a focus group first. I doubt it was too popular because at the end of the day Mueller was a decorated combat veteran and lifelong Republican.

      Within the purview of draft dodger bone spurs during war time, the optics blow and anyone can easily win an argument on this topic. Republican strategists know this.
