Fox News tied itself in knots finding the ‘positive’ from the epic White House security breach and it’s a proper jaw-dropper

Not everyone was outraged by the frankly historic White House national security breach that saw highly sensitive military plans shared to a giant group chat that included a journalist who was just as surprised as everyone else.

And when we say ‘not everyone’ what we really mean is ‘Fox News’, which went to no ends not only to downplay an extraordinary screw-up, but actually to find the positive in all of this.

First up (but not the best) is Fox News anchor Jesse ‘shallow’ Watters, explaining the story to viewers as if they had the mental age of a pre-schooler (insert your own jokes here).

But the proper jaw-dropper was his Fox News colleague Will Cain – no, us neither – who not only downplayed the scandal but actually found the positive in the whole thing. A great big positive! And it’s a quite extraordinary watch.

Wrapped himself in so many knots we’re going to have to get David Blaine to untie him. Here’s what the Fox News man had to say on Twitter (just in case you still needed convincing he actually said it).

And here are just a few of the many things people said about it.
