The accusations from the Axis media that Fox News deliberately avoided informing its audience about President Trump’s bitter and triumphant Truth Social post, “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” are not quite accurate, but close enough for what passes as journalism on those platforms now.
The Fox News website and that of local affiliates published articles that explicitly included President Trump’s widely criticized outburst that was generally considered in the “too soon!” category, but the initial reports on the air ignored it. Fox News mentioned the death of the leader of the contrived “Russiagate” scandal at least six times on TV without ever quoting Trump’s remarks and the resulting backlash. The televised segments on Fox & Friends and elsewhere featured more traditional post-mortem tributes from figures like former President George W. Bush. I happened to see periodic commentator Brit Hume criticize Trump’s whack at Mueller as pointless ugliness that “doesn’t help,” but that was more than a day after the episode occurred.
Ethics Alarms 
Trump’s comment was unworthy of any president for any reason about any person. Period.
It’s also unworthy of any sane person in general, but Trump is such an incomplete, bitter, emotionally immature man that he cannot overlook even an insignificant slight. There was never any chance he could be even remotely civil about the death of a man who tried to destroy his first presidency.
Which brings me to the elephant in the room. Mueller did as much to damage the presidency as anyone in my memory, at least as much as Trump, alongside the dancing demons of the day calling themselves Democrats as well as the Leftmedia. I can’t blame Trump one bit for hating him and wanting to urinate on his grave. I expect him to do the same thing to any of his unethical Democratic castigators who happen to shuffle off this mortal coil before he does.
What I can blame him for is further debasing the office by saying so in public. And I do. It is unworthy of the office and unworthy of any male over 12 years old. It is, in my view, a statement of weakness and insecurity — the words of a junior high school bully.
As you can no doubt tell, I’m with you here all the way, in every respect. There was no need for him to say anything about Mueller. Nobody would have expected him to express sadness or condolences.
If I remember correctly, it was fully brought up on The Five, though that’s not exactly a “news” show, it has maybe more reach than other Fox offerings (actually their #1 show).
Aside from that, I agree with Glenn.
But it raises the question of how far avoiding tit-for-tat in real life politics will get you. Do you lie down in front of the tank of legacy MSM and hope for the best?
