Fox News skipped some big moments at Democratic convention

When Gen. John Allen, the retired four-star Marine general and former commander of American forces in Afghanistan, stepped on stage at the Democratic National Convention to deliver an impassioned argument against Donald Trump, Fox News didn’t broadcast it.

Never mind that it was a primetime address on the final night of the convention, and that the speech marked a rare moment in American politics when a normally non-political four-star general felt compelled to make a public appeal to the nation.

Instead, Fox News aired a pre-taped interview with Gen. Allen, followed by a rebuttal from Gen. Michael Flynn, the former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. “I honestly don’t know how John Allen can look at himself in the mirror and say why he supports Hillary Clinton,” Gen. Flynn told Fox’s Megyn Kelly.
