Not everything, that’s for sure.
Here's Raphael Warnock's full speech.

This is an important address for MAGA to hear because he went hard after Donald Trump for rejecting Christianity.
It's a message that Fox didn't air for even a second live. pic.twitter.com/i9Q9b4RMTl
Matthew Sheffield watched Fox News’ coverage of the DNC last night and found that they censored the Black politicians except for Kamala Harris’ brief remarks. Seriously. They did not show the speeches by Karen Bass, Laphonza Butler, James Clyburn, Jasmine Crockett, or Raphael Warnock. They also didn’t show the speech by Sean Fein, which says everything:
Another very powerful speech which Fox did not air for even one second was by UAW president Shawn Fein.

This was a really important address because Fein meticulously showed how Donald Trump pretends to support working people but never actually does so. Here it is in full. pic.twitter.com/6XhZEbvfV7
The crowd erupted into “Trump’s a scab” chants repeatedly. I can only imagine how much that irritated him.
The Fox audience might have learned something if the network had shown it — which is why they didn’t, of course. The oligarchs and greedheads which run the right wing media universe must keep the rubes in the dark if they hope to maintain power.
As for the Black officials, I wouldn’t expect anything else. Seeing all those exceptional, decent, highly accomplished Black Democrats would disorient many of their racist viewers and they might even change the channel. Can’t have that.
