“Fox has not changed,” he said. “We have a news side and an opinion side. Opinion folks express their opinions. We do polls.”
It is a brief quote, but that sure sounds like Fox just took Trump out to the woodshed and gave him a switchin’.

He expects faux to lie to their viewers just as he lies to his supporters. Having faux make up polling numbers won’t change the election results but it will bolster his claims of a rigged election - claims he is sure to make when confronted with his upcoming defeat.

Ah, the classic gentle break-up line. “It’s not us, it’s you.”

Perhaps Fox is done guarding Trump’s henhouse.

Only a fool would respond to Baier’s comments. Our guy qualifies on that account, but he’s also a coward. To avoid any more unpleasantries, he may not invite any more retorts. He may let this rest and go on to the next distraction.

Sucks when your monster turns on you, doesn’t it, Fox?

Will he use this excuse as he contemplates not leaving the White House after his defeat?

So Drumpy is backing down? Aww, I was looking forward to the limitless possibilities of epithet names he’d come up with for the network combining Fake and Fox. You know, Fakes News, Fakes and Friends, etc.

I haven’t listened to rightwing radio for 2 years. Wonder if those nodwells are following Trump’s lead on FOX?
“Fox would like to strongly state that we are the same network that has been lying to you for over 30 years. We will continue in our commitment to the power of the 1% and bravely take a stand against the poor and feminists and blacks and Latinos.
Now a word from Goldbullion For Less.”

We have a good fight going in another corner: the Mooch vs Donnie “Small Hands” Trump.

Completely off topic but it’s trump and his tariffs he says are only beneficial to America…
I am sure the kids in Sahuarita, AZ will not miss the hay ride and pecans. Personally I love pecans and going to Sahuarita in the fall to get 'em is a very pleasant ride by the country roads off I-19. The Pecan Company in Sahuarita in the link is one of the word’s largest producers of pecans and you see the groves north and south of Tucson.
trump’s tariffs… it shows that donnie hates pecans I guess.
Thanks a lot trump…
geeze…

Rupert’s kids see the future, and it’s not Trump.
That should tell you something.
“How can we miss you unless you leave?”

I could never separate the difference. It’s been All Hate All the Time TV, IMO.

The one place on the planet where he can do no wrong …
