Yesterday, Freedom Caucus Republicans sent a letter to Pete Buttigieg at the Dept of Transportation demanding National Transportation Safety Board documents related to the train disaster in East Palestine.
Buttigieg responded with shock because
NTSB is an independent body, for good reason, and not even part of his Department.
Republicans don’t even know what they’re doing.
The train derailment in Ohio was caused by corporate greed and negligence (as well as the Trump/Republican gutting of safety regulations).
To distract from the OBVIOUS story of how #CorporateGreed (abetted by the GOP) is HURTING White Americans, #FoxNews and friends are waving the White Grievance flag in front of their audience.

Perhaps #FoxNews is intentionally creating a distraction from the #CorporateGreed aspect of the train derailment in Ohio, not just to stoke White racial grievance (always profitable for Fox), but also to serve Big Corporate interests. The train derailment reveals, in a dramatic way, how #CorporateGreed is HURTING the very people that Fox News panders to. But Fox News does NOT want their audience to get angry at big rich corporations. That might damage Fox's profits.
