It’s been a fun day over there in the cess pool. Got my Sponge Bob swimmies on and everything. You can tell they’re having trouble deciding whether it’s better to stoke the racist anti-immigration culture war with the story about Mexico opposing that guy being executed because his conviction came amidst gross violations of our treaties and international law (not to mention 11 days being denied representation) OR whether to rile up the base with the story about Trump and the DOJ trying to leverage the AT&T/Time Warner merger to destroy CNN…or at least put it up for sale where a conservative oligarch can grab it. Decisions decisions…
Maybe this is the moment of searching reappraisal that we’ve all come to think might be impossible over at Fox.
Maybe this will be the moment when Fox’s post-Ailes management comes to grips with where their 20-year adventure in alternative fact-peddling has taken us.
Maybe they will suddenly see that they have engineered Fox into the television arm of Trump’s totalitarian state-run media empire.
Maybe this is the moment when that long-suppressed capacity for shame finally flickers back to life.
Maybe this is the moment when they will turn the page on their era of Big Lies and usher in a new age of wisdom and enlightenment, led by reporters and commentators who set aside the ways of bigotry and disinformation and dedicate themselves to serving the greater good of all Americans – a Renaissance, if you will.
Naaaahh.

When grotesque, self-righteous propagandists get their comeuppance, it makes me glad.
Fox news viewers: There were elections? Trump won - Get Over It!
aka the intentionally blind leading the indoctrinated blind over the precipice.
Sticking their heads in the sand is likely a breath of fresh air compared to where they usually have their heads stuck.
And where was Tucker Carlson’s signature “furrowed brow of concern”?
Fox News is nothing but a propaganda arm. They are struggling so hard to keep their select viewer base in place that it is obvious to anyone but that base what is happening. Fox needs some true scrutiny.
Meanwhile
“Fox News appeared to seek bliss in ignorance.”
It’s the top seller in their product line.
Outselling even the wildly-popular racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism.
They’ve fully monetized and branded it.
*“When you think ignorance, think Fox!”*™
After the year we’ve been through, fuck 'em.
The head in the sand stance is by design. There will be no reckoning, mea culpa and sudden change of heart. At the moment, they are trying to double down and stay on mission.
Truly…THIS is how desperate and pathetic their damage control has been all day:

Edit: hmmm…linking doesn’t seem to work right (I put a space after http, so try removing that when you copy&paste?). Watch the vid “Town hall panel speaks out on President Trump’s performance”. It’s full of big fancy graphics and breathless re-hashing of the timeline as Trump “historically” won the states that he won during the election…BOOM OHIO! BOOM WISCONSIN! It’s fucking ridiculous.
Notice that Tucker’s got Donna Brazille on tonight?
She’s the other big loser yesterday. Clearly, the timing and release of the “explosive” revelations about Hillary’s campaign saving the DNC with her own money hasn’t gone according to plan.
If it had gone according to plan, Donna’s revelations would have had the intended effect of dampening Democrat turnout and a Gillespie win. There would have been calls for Perez’s head, now that the DNC establishment and their Neo Corporatism incrementalist ways has failed us. Donna, having curried favor with the Bernie crowd would graciously offer herself to head the DNC and we would all be living happily ever after in the new reborn Bernie DNC revolution headed up by the newly minted political hack, corporatist, uber establishment, turned progressive warrior, Donna Brazille.
Keep dreaming, Donna, you’re through…
Maybe they can follow up with Susan Sarandon.
She’s gonna get fried. And Donna, no one watching Carlson is going to buy your book.
Burying the heads of Hannity and Carlson doesn’t do us any good, since they are still able to talk out of their asses.
Hahahahaha! I thought the blank space was intentional and made for a point.
"Let’s talk about those results in Virginia, New Jersey, New York, by the way,” Hannity said, listing states that Democrats won, and added for the network’s most prominent viewer, “Not states Donald Trump won.”
okay
Since they’re licking their wounds, here’s some salt. Enjoy! 
She’s done, as done as a turkey frying in peanut oil from Thanksgiving Day until Christmas Eve. The results of yesterday’s elections finished her off. She’s a liar and an idiot, and the Democratic Party doesn’t need her, and I never thought they did in the first place. There are too many smart and talented minority women in the Democratic Party to be wasting our time with some timid centrist Lieberman Democrat like Donna Brazile.
Maybe Bezos would buy it.
