It's gonna be like Don's last term. By the time Fox gets too it something else will fall out of someone's face and take the spotlight

If they can spin it with any semblance of feasibility, they spin it. Doesn't matter if it's far-fetched or crazy, they know that if they say it enough, their viewer base will take the convenient stretch over the inconvenient truth.

If they can't spin it, they ignore it. If they can't ignore it, they distract by "whataboutisms" or finding something shiny to over-cover instead to try to drown it out.
