5:02Now PlayingFox News is struggling to figure out a way to attack President Biden that will actually resonate with their viewers, but so far they haven't been able to land a single blow that made any kind of impact. They recently claimed that the White House was in utter turmoil and filled with "crises," but this came the same day that polls showed Biden with a 63% approval rating. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Recently Fox news air to segment, and the headline of the segment was battered
Biden.
And they tried to say that the white house is just engulfed in turmoil and crises. Those are the words they use turmoil and crises taking place
Within the Biden administration.
Now they didn't actually offer any kind of real concrete things to suggest that there's any kind of
A problem
With the white house. No, but they said, Hey, look, what's happening in Israel and Palestine that's Biden's fault somehow. Hey, fossil fuel industry pipelines got hacked. And so there was a gas shortage, you know, in the Southeast, um, which yes, affected me. It was rough for a couple of days, but, uh, that's what happens when you rely on these archaic fossil fuel systems, but either way, they're trying to pin all of these non-related things on to Joe Biden a week, April jobs report, they said, ha that is Biden still was better than most months under Trump though. So yeah, it didn't really stick, but what's happening at Fox news has been happening since Biden was sworn in as president, they continue to try to land these body blows on them, create these controversies, uh, controversy, excuse me, get their base riled up and just utter hatred for Joe Biden. But none of it's working. In fact, on that same day, they ran that battered Biden headline. That was the day that the poll was released showing that Joe Biden has a staggering 63% approval rating, which is 13 points higher than Donald Trump's highest approval rating ever.
So he's, he's doing okay.
They have tried to pin so many things on Joe Biden in just four months. You know, the, the controversy of the, oh my God, he's gonna put limits on the amount of red meat you can consume every year, four pounds only you get one burger a month and the public where at least the Fox news viewers were like, nah, I don't think so. I don't think that's, I don't think that's accurate. Fox news continues to fail in their quest to attack Joe Biden. That's the big takeaway here. Now, again, they're not losing viewers over it. You know, ratings are strong. People are still watching the network. Plenty of Republicans do believe the stupid things that they're saying, but the public at large, especially the independence out there, those are the ones who matter in this context,
They're not buying it. They see
What they see with their own two eyes. And it doesn't match up with the narrative being pushed by these idiots on Fox news or by the idiotic Republicans from Congress, you know, Ted Cruz can stamp his feet. All he want about the border crisis, but apprehensions, uh, last month, all time high. So yeah, we've got people coming across, but guess what? The Biden administrations actually doing what the Trump administration never really could treating them very inhumanely. And that's an issue for another day. I've talked about that repeatedly,
But all of these narratives
That Republicans are pushing. And again, a lot of them originate from Fox news. None of it is sticking. None of it resonates with the American public and granted we're only four months into this administration four months in a day, I guess at this point.
But Fox news, what happened to you guys?
I used to be able to land any kind of body blow, create any kind of controversy you wanted about a Democrat. You were able to do it about a tan suit, the Barack Obama war. You did it about him eating a rugala in his salad as if he's some kind of elitist. He attacked Hillary Clinton about made up scandals all the time and it actually worked with the public. So why is it not working with Biden? How was he so different from a Clinton
Or an Obama? Hm, the real head scratcher there, isn't it folks, ox
News is not able to land the body blows against Joe Biden because he's an old white guy banned the public, whether they realize it or not, they still do have biases against women
And black people. That's
Why they so quick to jump on these idiotic controversies with Clinton. Some
Of them real and Obama, but not Biden. It's a lot harder
When Fox, this news has to essentially attack one
Of their own and their audience, the public, they're just not buying it.
