Far-right TV news outlets covered President Joe Biden's inauguration – and the early exit of Donald Trump – from the position of a soothing alternative reality.

Wow! And I thought the news of virtual watching of the Inauguration by QAnoners was insane as they felt betrayed when nothing happened as Biden was sworn in.

Conspiracy theories are low-lying fruit for those that can't handle the truth. These folks will gladly give an alternate reality to those unable to accept the facts.
