#1 FOX News left me before I left it.

#2 I’d also heard Soros put money into election commissioner races which should be fun in the coming recounts if true

#3 See Streisand Effect.

This could actually be an intentional Streisand Effect attack on Soros.

Gingrich mentioning Soros would have been a standard talking point with no news value.

Criticism of Soros being verboten on Fox and the awkward demeanor of the hosts is a bombshell that will draw the public's attention to Soros' activities.

Perhaps someone at Fox is playing 4D Chess against Soros.

#4 Marie Harf as a contributor?

Since I don't watch Fox News anymore, I hadn't realized how far it has fallen.

#5 Perhaps someone at Fox is playing 4D Chess against Soros.

I think corruption is more likely, but I can hope. I've been reduced to having to read between the lines and interpreting the shapes of shadows more often than not anymore.

#6 #3 Elmerert for the win.

Soros + Hunter Biden may play the same role in this election that Clinton's pardoned pal Marc Rich played in the 2000 election: just prominent enough to alienate a small but crucial number of swing voters who may tip the election against Biden.

Soros is more useful as a shadowy, him-who-must-not-be-named Keyser Soze figure than as a well-known public enemy. This is indeed chess by a grandmaster inside of Fox.

#7 My guess is the folks are Fox News are terrified of following 'conspiracies' so they downplay anything that sounds like a conspiracy even if it might actually be easily verifiable.

#8 Ref #4: Marie Harf as a contributor?

I seem to remember Harf was an Agency analyst of some sort in a previous life.

#9 I looked him up. According to the Urban Dictionary, which clearly is more hooked in to the common culture than I:

The character Keyser Soze is a rarely seen, nearly mythical crime kingpin who is involved in drugs, murder, and possibly international terrorism (as hinted in one scene). Most believe he is not real, but rather boogeyman story or name-drop to intimidate people. In the end of the movie [The Usual Suspects, 1995], the shocking identity of Keyser Soze is finally revealed.

#13 We are talking about people who wear makeup to look good on TV. I don't buy any "4-D chess" crapola. These people can screw up taking toilet paper off a roll.

#14 It took Newt to mention this? Tucker could have mentioned this long ago (unless he was told not to).

Still waiting for the sexual assault/racism accusations against Tucker to silence the lone, sane voice there.

#15 The makeup people would be the pieces not the players.

#16 Fox peed their pants because Gingrich told the truth on air? Fox has a few good commentators and guests but otherwise Fox isn't much better than the rest of the MSM.

Occam's razor says corruption/convergence.

#18 ^ They could have ignored Gingrich and quickly wrapped up the segment. Instead they explictitly instructed everyone to not think of a pink elephant Soros.

#19 Yes, number 18. However I could still smell the peanuts.

#20 Perhaps, but I still have my doubts.

It's tempting to overthink these things and say "4D chess" when a cigar is just a cigar.

I remember reading this site in the Dubya days when people tried to convince themselves that his supine response to the Left was all part of some rope-a-dope strategy.

"And then, like the cobra--he strikes!"

If memory serves, that theory didn't pan out very well.

#21 Now Fox is in "non-apology apology" mode.

Says everything you need to know.
