Fox News is discovering the hard way that the camera doesn’t lie. Fox has been broadcasting live for days, telling its viewers about the massive crowds at Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair, but as they say, the camera doesn’t lie.
Trump held a rally to open the fair, which reportedly attracted a few thousand people. One estimate puts the attendance at 1,000 people.
The fair was described as sparse and empty by those who visited it.but according to Donald Trump, 45,000 people attended his rally. Trump was so upset by the low attendance that he had been posting lies about the crowd size on his Truth Social account for days.
Fox News fueled Trump’s illusions by talking about the massive crowds at the fair. The problem is that Fox News is also broadcasting from the fair, and anyone with vision can see that they are lying.
For example, on Sunday morning, Peter Doocy said, “It’s really, it’s really something. And the weather isn’t the best today, but people are still coming out.”
However, here is what the scene was behind Doocy:
Unless Peter Doocy sees things no one else sees, there are very few, if any, people, but Fox News has not been deterred by reality.
