“It’s all about punishing Cheney; it’s about punishing the dissenters who dare, who dares – To accuse the former president, “CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Stelter said on Sunday in” Reliable Sources. “And the idea of a trial in the Senate is crazy. proving Trump is madness on the right-wing media. “
Even though the right-of-way outlets refuse to take their eyes off Cheney’s ball, Greene continues to spread misinformation. On January 17, Twitter took note of Greene’s rhetoric, temporarily suspending it from the social media platform after tweeting a conspiracy-laden thread about Georgia’s Senate election.
“You’ll notice that at pro-Trump outlets, Greene barely catches the eye,” Stelter said. “Instead, his eyes are on Congresswoman Liz Cheney.”
On Friday night on Fox News, anchor Shannon Bream spoke of Cheney for a chyron that said “Canceling Liz Cheney.”
“Greene is getting the attention of traditional outlets – it’s being scrutinized – but Cheney is being overthrown by the pro-Trump media,” said Stelter, who added, “It’s important to recognize that Congresswoman Greene is just a small piece of a greater movement, a greater phenomenon “.
The biggest phenomenon is the spread of QAnon’s unfounded theory, a set of views that have been supported by many of the people who stormed the Capitol earlier this month and defended as Tucker Carlson.
“They come after me because, like President Trump, I will always stand for conservative values,” Greene said last week. “They want to take me out because I represent people. And they absolutely hate it.”
