The implication of the headline was that Walz didn’t really do anything to help the struggling student and only cared about keeping him on the field to win football games.
However, an interview with the former student, a man named Dan Clement, showed that Walz encouraged him to continue playing because he thought it would give him a positive outlet away from alcohol and criminal activities that could help him straighten out his life.
“The caring attention he gave, that positive support can pull you through really dark times in your life,” said Clement. “And he was right. I was wrong. And later in life, when I continued to do that, when I continued to trust other people who love me, then it led my life in this beautiful direction. Just like it did back then.”
But I meant:
In what way did it backfire? Are the Democrats getting more votes from this? Is Fox “News” getting fewer viewers, fined, or closed down? Did it change the opinions of any viewers?
It backfired in that it called attention to something positive he did that Fox News tried to spin into a negative. How much it will change things probably isn’t a lot, but at least we can see two sides, Fox News and reality. Maybe others will see it too with the right story and lie exposed.
It made them look like dumbasses (as usual) which their viewers will likely drown out in the torrent of other anti-democratic tripe Fox shovels down their collective gullets.
It’s in the article but here:

Did Fox even air the part showing what Walz did was fine? Or did that part only come out elsewhere?
