Fox News' latest attempt to churn up negative stories about Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz backfired immediately this week.

Thank you.

But I meant:
In what way did it backfire? Are the Democrats getting more votes from this? Is Fox “News” getting fewer viewers, fined, or closed down? Did it change the opinions of any viewers?

It backfired in that it called attention to something positive he did that Fox News tried to spin into a negative. How much it will change things probably isn't a lot, but at least we can see two sides, Fox News and reality. Maybe others will see it too with the right story and lie exposed.

It made them look like dumbasses (as usual) which their viewers will likely drown out in the torrent of other anti-democratic tripe Fox shovels down their collective gullets.

Did Fox even air the part showing what Walz did was fine? Or did that part only come out elsewhere?
