The Internet Called Out Fox News For Once Again Failing to Address News
The investigation into whether or not Russia interfered with the 2016 election took a serious turn on Aug. 3 when Special Counsel Robert Mueller called for a grand jury. According to the Wall Street Journal, the grand jury recently started its work and the call indicates that the investigation is broadening even further in scope. While major TV networks halted programming to hone in on this recent development, Fox News continued its longstanding trend of ignoring major negative news about President Donald Trump. The internet finally had enough and turned Fox News into a meme.
The meme presents the conservative news outlet as willing to cover any other news that doesn't portray Trump terribly - or tell its viewers the truth.

It's not entirely surprising that Fox News would continue to ignore such developments considering the company dropped its "Fair and Balanced" slogan in 2016.
