Fringe Media Outlets Peddle Trump Storylines Through Biden Inauguration
Brian Steinberg Senior TV EditorPresident Trump’s White House tenure is over, but some members of the far-right media think there’s more of the now-former Commander-in-Chief’s story to tell.Several of the outlets, many of which have gained a reputation in media circles for promoting opinions based on falsehoods, spent part of a day devoted to the inauguration of a new president (Joe Biden) devoted to maintaining some echo of the one he replaced (Donald Trump).On the far-right cable network Newsmax, for example, guests and analysts were quizzed during a segment that took place after Biden’s inauguration ceremony about what sort of role Trump might play in politics in the not-too-distant future.
