Hey, Fox News, any big news going on? No? Okay.

As you may have noticed, a lot went down on Tuesday. Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign manager, was found guilty of eight counts of tax and bank fraud.

Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen, meanwhile, plead guilty to campaign finance crimes and stated that Trump directed him to pay off two women during the campaign to keep them quiet about affairs they had with Trump.

While most news outlets have been airing extensive coverage of the two major cases, Fox News has predictably turned a mostly blind eye to it.

People on Twitter responded to the channel's reluctance to cover anything that looks bad on Trump into a very amusing meme.

Sadly, these memes aren't too far off from how Fox is actually covering these stories. The channel didn't really touch the verdicts, opting instead to lean heavily on coverage of Post Malone's plane, the Mollie Tibbetts case, and confederate monuments.

Ok, but will we ever know if lobsters were happy that the Titanic sunk, though? Or if giraffes are just tall horses?

Fox hasn't (actually) covered those stories (yet), but they're still steering clear of the actual news.
