From a New York Times story by Jonathan Weisman headlined “Trump and Fox News, Twin Titans of Politics, Hit With Back-to-Back Rebukes”:

For the better part of a decade, Donald J. Trump and his allies at Fox News have beguiled some Americans and enraged others as they spun up an alternative world where elections turned on fraud, one political party oppressed another, and one man stood against his detractors to carry his version of truth to an adoring electorate.

Then this week, on two consecutive days, the former president and the highest-rated cable news channel were delivered a dose of reality by the American legal system.
