Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
Basically the Trump administration is violating the law by not releasing all of the files but some were made available.

Leaked congress memo written by Todd Blanche.
Ro Khanna says that he wants to impeach or prosecute people for not following his Epstein Files bill.
I find it strange that Fox News would report that government officials were protected by redactions. I'm always skeptical to trust Fox News but they did include a leaked memo document.
It seems like the DOJ tried to redact any mention of Trump, there were a few instances that they missed.
They position the Republican party as "outsiders" opposed to "big government" so for their target audience "government officials" just means "democrats."
The Fox News article cites Todd Blanche as the evidence that the US DOJ is redacting government officials. Todd Blanche is appointed by Trump. The Fox News article quoted the Todd Blanche memo and said that it was Todd Blanche doing the redaction.
Wouldn't that lead them to conclude the Republicans are protecting the Democrats?
No, because according to their worldview, the republicans aren't the ones censoring things, it's "the government" censoring things.
I guess "the government" isn't the people that get elected or appointed. That's just what happens on TV. "The government" is the hidden cabal of Democrats that control everything behind the scenes while the Republicans on TV valiantly fight against them, but somehow never succeed despite winning all the time. They're the plucky underdogs fighting the deepstate!
At least until they give up on Republicans too, and then they just blame the Jews.
Now you're thinking like the average Fox news viewer!
I think your analysis is inaccurate because we are not talking about the "average Fox News viewer". There are different branches of Fox News. There are even local Fox News channels which are not similar to the reporting of Fox News National. We're talking about an ARTICLE on the Fox News WEBSITE.
The article published on Fox News Digital which says that politician names have been redacted was not reported on the Fox News television channel. The extent of the reporting on the Fox News television segments was spotty and ranged from sparse photos of Bill Clinton to briefly mentioning that the files were overly redacted. The Fox News television channel tried to report the release as little as possible. The Fox News channel aired interviews with Todd Blanche himself saying that the release was lawful. Fox News television even had a segment where they claimed that the release had 'too much information'.
Do you think that the average Fox News viewer also reads the Fox News website? Does the average Fox News viewer even knows how to read?
I know what the mind of an American hog is like. Why do you think that you're the hog whisperer?
Your analysis is not correct. Even MTG (the congressmember who got elected for being a qanon conspiracy theorist) is quoting the Fox News digital reports to say that names of government officials were protected. MTG has made herself into a Trump rival and Trump even retracted his endorsements of MTG. Trump started saying that MTG's new name is 'Marjorie Traitor Brown'.
This tweet does not indicate that Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that Trump's US DOJ is protecting Democrats. MTG is not making the association of "government officials" being "only democrats". Your assumption is entirely baseless.
