Legacy Newscasts Quiet After Texas Fleebaggers Return to the Capitol
19th August 2025
The legacy media provided ample coverage to the Texas House Democrats fleeing the Capitol in order to deny a quorum on efforts to redistrict the Lone Star State’s congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterms. But there was nary a peep from the legacies as the fleebaggers skulked back home.
The updated fleebagger saga did draw some coverage on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier.
There just wasn’t any time to cover this: not on ABC, CBS, or NBC. The guilty plea of Matthew Perry’s ketamine dealer was just too important to ignore, as was the price cut of weight loss medication.
That reality is what drove House Democrats back to Austin. And after the legacies did what they could to puff them up, there was simply zero time to cover this very important development within the ongoing political debate. Things are (D)ifferent now, you see.
