I just assumed it was his supporters.
Yup, I think everyone outside of Fox News knew it was just a thinly-veiled Trump rally, but Fox's editing out comments from the audience members that they already were Trump supporters is the really damning part. Fox News knew it was supposed to look neutral and that is an admission that they were trying to hide it.
In case you didn't already know that Fox News is just a propaganda arm of the GOP.
It's propatainment.
Next you'll tell me that water is wet.

Fox (a) hasn't been trying to hide their support for Trump for years, and (b) is not even considered legally news, by their own admission. It's "entertainment". And they get away with being so heavily biased by basically saying that they're heavily biased in order to entertain an audience that just happens to lean heavily to the right.
At least they got actual women. Half of me was expecting the people asking the questions to be Trump family members wearing bad wigs and fake noses.
Meh, this broadcast isn't to turn anyone onto trump but provide cover for the bigots that are, "undecided." If they see there is no social condemnation for voting for trump they will happily show up to the polls. They will also flip their shit if anyone dares call them out having been thoroughly duped.
Yeah, I don't see why this is news.
Journalistic ethics means disclosing this sort of thing. It probably is good to point out, just so that norms don't get completely forgotten, but, yeah, this shouldn't surprise anyone.
Lying weasels doing lying weasel things. Actually, comparing these disgusting pieces of human excrement to weasels is an insult to weasels.
The fact that so many women support him is disgusting.
I’ve seen black people supporting him, immigrants supporting him, … people got the brain rot these days. And fucking Biden still hasn’t plugged the hole that gives presidents unlimited powers! Fuck that. Either use it to clean the Supreme Court or gut it before the election is over.
Well, of course they would. If they didn't, their husbands would beat them.
why would anyone else subject themselves to an hour of trump nonsense?
Because they can't find him on a golf course anymore?
The Onion needs another one of those repeating articles for FOX News.
"Shitty network masquerading as a news organization does shitty partisan thing"
"Shitty propaganda channel masquerading as a news organization continues spreading blatant lies that anyone who pays attention could disprove in 12 seconds"
I'm just surprised they could find enough women willing to be in the same room with him.
There are a lot of self hating women out there, I guess.
That's true but it's not so simple. Let's assume many of those women are racist and sexist and xenophobic. How do they choose which candidate to vote for?
One would hope that the answer to that question begins with becoming a less s***** human being, but if you assume that they're not going to make improvements in their own moral character, at least not in the short run, then they have this weird choice to make.
Duh? Of course they're going to stack the audience with his supporters.
You know that and we know that but guess who doesn’t know that.
Basically all of Fox's viewer base, except for the small percentage that just hate-watch them.
That Bloomberg news interview probably did the same thing, I couldn't believe some of the garbage parts of the crowd were clapping at.
Fox “news”.
Shocking
Yeah... I'm still fucking pissed about it, but I knew they were going to pull this bullshit...
Where's the BiAsEd MeDiA complaints now Magoos? Oh that's right, you never actually gave a shit, you just want to "win" at all costs.
It's projection. Just like everything else Trump says.
He doesn't want "unbiased media", and neither do his supporters. They want a media that's heavily biased towards them. And to a degree, his tactics work. Either out of fear of losing access to Trump, fear he'll post a mean tweet, or just a desire to "appear" unbiased, they will withhold criticism, throw him softball questions, edit unflattering footage, and give his word salads credibility by treating them as if they're serious issues that should be discussed. So in that way, he gets the coverage he wants.
I thought they would just kidnap enough women off the street to fill the audience.
The alternative facts crowd
They’re still mad about the Bowling Green Massacre
Surprise!
At least CNN is reporting it. Although I now feel he’s got it in the bag. He’s the father of IVF for godsake
