Fox News trying to put a positive spin on Trump’s indictment is a fabulously funny watch
Spare a thought – only kidding – for the good people – only kidding, again – of Fox News, whose job now is to try to put a positive spin on Donald Trump’s indictment for paying hush money to Stormy Daniels.
The former US president has become the first to face criminal charges and this is the reaction in the Fox News studio when it was announced.

And these three examples of Fox News’s response that followed just get better and better.
First up, there’s this, from Jesse Watters.

But most of all, this, from Greg Gutfeld.

Sheer unintentional magnificence (took us a while to remember/work out that OG stands for ‘original gangster’).

“He’s a badass if he has a mugshot” is the best Fox can do right now. They had time to prepare, too.

"Big beautiful indictment. Biggest indictment in history. Grand jurors coming up to me, big strong jurors with tears in their eyes, saying 'sir, that was a perfect indictment.'" https://t.co/XriwH4Beg4

And finally, this is just brilliant!
LOL. Someone is now walking around the outside of the Manhattan DA’s office in NYC holding a “Fox News” microphone & pretending to sob after learning about Trump’s indictment. This man is a legend. Bad day for Trump and Fox. pic.twitter.com/NFfvnKLBgQ
