Fox News hosts spend their day telling their audience that Democrats are communists and communists are evil people, then in the evening they all got dressed up to attend a state dinner honoring a communist.

Another day, another dictatorial act. The indomitable Helen Thomas was sent to the back of the press room by George W. Bush from her long-held front row seat because he didn't like her probing questions. Nixon had his enemies list. Republicans hate a free press. Trump just hates everyone.
