Looks like the Fox Femmes and “Himbos”, are almost ready to contribute to The Guardian opinion section.

What can one say but that Trump is a dick and enjoys behaving like a child.
It’s amazing to me that every stupid asshattish comment he makes gives him a ratings boost but if Jeb Bush says something equally dickish he gets hammered.
I want to see Trump be gutted for his comments on all sorts of issues. He deserves no less.

I hope they’re not just teasing us again.

Ahh FOX, where it’s “totally out of bounds” to call a white blond lady a “bimbo” but damn is it a moral imperative to call all Latinos “rapist” “criminals” “drug dealers” and “moochers”. Keep it classy FOX.

Sounds to me like Kelly got the contract extension she wanted. And if Fox is going to re up their commitment to her, they have to protect their assets.

This should be interesting.

This coming from a network that has spent 7 years spouting irrational attacks on Obama, and once was the home of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin.

Full disclosure: I have very fond memories of KO eviscerating dear old Glenn on Countdown.

Not that Trump isn’t the most interesting thing in the world, but isn’t there anything else interesting? Nearly every article on TPM has something to do with trump.

Thank fake God for President Obama. He is the exemplary Democrat. A model of class and intelligence. With the GOP…there’s this.

Trump is just the magician’s other hand, waving around and distracting “us” while the RNC quietly slips the card out of its sleeve with the other hand.

In the end, what Trump does and says is irrelevant to both Faux and the RNC. There is a ratings boost for Faux in the short term and the eventual Repug nominee will appear sane and reasonable to the vast majority of R-leaning voters. Trump is the Repug’s way of “getting it off their chests” and saying what most of them really think, while making it easy to pretend it never happened because Trump is mentally ill and is a total asshat.

After this is all over, Trump and Fox News will come to terms on his new daily TV show. I, for one, am looking forward to Bray Watch.

Media Matters had a great series of examples of Faux News’ misogyny on full display…


Now look who’s pot is calling the kettle black.
Laughable.

If there is any more proof that we need that Fox News is just a propaganda network, then this is it. Now, because Roger Ailes has criticized Trump’s comments about Megyn Kelly, all the “independently minded” journalistic commentators on Fox find the need to mildly chastise Trump?

This is just some coincidental, harmonic convergence or merely more evidence that all these frauds take their talking points from management?

But in all honesty, what we see all around us is that lies do work. “Fair and balanced” is just more Orwellian speak for propaganda. And in the words of Charlie Sheen, they’re “winning”.

How depressing.
