The supercut compares private pleas from Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Brian Kilmeade to the public spin they put on the Donald Trump-incited violence.

CNN’s “New Day” on Tuesday laid bare Fox News’ hypocritical coverage of the deadly U.S. Capitol riot.
The show compared the private pleas that personalities Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Brian Kilmeade made to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to get then-President Donald Trump to call off the violence to the way in which they cynically span the storming on air.
Begging text messages they sent to Meadows were lined up alongside footage of them later downplaying the Jan. 6 insurrection.
The chyron read: “Fox Hosts condemned violence privately, whitewashed publicly.”
Watch the video here:
John Avlon said the texts offered a rare glimpse at “what people were thinking in real-time” and ripped “the curtain back on the Trump-Fox feedback loop.”
But “hours later they were back in hyper-partisan, distortion land” and viewers “were once again being played for fools.”
