New York (CNN) — Fox News viewers have received an early Christmas gift — an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The decision to approve the impeachment inquiry should come as little-to-no surprise to observers of the polluted media landscape in which Republicans get their news. An impeachment of Biden has been a right-wing media fever dream for years, with calls to bring an inquiry against him dating back to even before Biden was inaugurated into the White House. An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released this week showed an astonishing 78% of Republicans said they approved of the impeachment hearings against Biden. And the lawmakers who have leaned into the Biden impeachment efforts have been handsomely rewarded on Fox News and elsewhere as heroic leaders fighting dark forces of corruption.
