If there was ever a communication organ that deserves to reap what it has sown, it is FOX.
With the enthusiastic support of the MSM, which is no longer a functioning Fourth Estate, FOX has created a fact-free ânewsâ service, where frightened, bigoted, insular and xenophobic people (the best prospects for Propaganda) are fed non-stop a drivel of verbal filth packaged as ânewsâ, rendering them as misinformed as serfsâŚ
In this ânewsâ environment, facts are secondary, dogwhistles primary and there is absolutely no way to stop someone (Trump) who has mastered what FOX has been promoting for years.
Never apologize
Always Double Down
Never Retreat
Provide Red Meat for the Base
To the Base, these attempts to ârein inâ what is as addictive to the Base as crack cocaine is pathetic, as this amalgam of âanalystsâ struggle to contain the Godzilla it has created, nurtured and sold.
BEAT AT THEIR OWN GAMEâŚ
This latest Trump claim should poll well among Republican women, seeing as Republican women are rabid misogynists.
Lines from the 2016 campaign movie?
Media-Tell you what, we coulda had a good life together! Fuckinâ real good life! Had us a place of our own. But you didnât want it, Trump! So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain coverage! Everythingâs built on that!
FOX News benefited when it had Trump on its lightweight shows repeatedly and it benefited hugely on Thursday night Itâs making big time money whether it supports Trump or bashes him. And Trump seems to be able to turn negatives into positives quite well.
So even though Murdoch doesnât like Trump the candidate, he sees Trump is a moneymaker for his network.
But he isnât their anointed candidate, and even if their anointed candidate (John Kasich) wins the nomination, Trump is going to be an albatross around the GOPâs neck in the long run because either Trumpâs supporters wonât vote or the Democrats can use what he says to smear the GOP as extremists. Either way, in the long run, he could be bad for FOX News.
OMG please let Trump be the GOP nominee. That would be the best birthday/Motherâs Day, Christmas/Valentines Day present EVER.
Real estate mogul Donald Trump said Monday that he âwould be the best for womenâ if elected President.
Trump went on to say ââŚjust ask my ex-wives!â
LOL.
Oh, sure you are Donald.
I sure do like what youâre doing for Hillary.
Good JOBâŚKEEP IT UP DONALD.
Trump : âI would be the best President for keeping women in their placeâ â
How can a candidate who has never said anything substantive garner so much support?
Some examples:
âI will be the greatest jobs president God ever createdâ (I have nothing snarky to say other than there is a difference between running a company and running the U.S. government.)
âI will build a great wall - and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me - and Iâll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.â (He builds walls? Also, if Mexico is paying the check, why does it need to be inexpensive?)
"Thereâs nobody bigger or better at the military than I amâ (what does that even mean? Btw, he has no military experience).
âI Would Be The Best For Womenâ (Well, thatâs a given after the last 5 days. I mean, shutting down the government to force defunding of planned parenthood is a clear winner for women right?)
The Donald is still polling in first place. Ted Cruz, who helped shut down the government and continues to advocate doing so (as does Trump) is in 2nd place. And in 3rd place is Ben Carson, who also knows nothing about public or foreign policy, reads talking points as though he has no idea what they mean, and writes off torture as a political correctness problem.
The GOP is in serious trouble. But considering how money in politics and gerrymandering will make it insanely difficult for the Dems to retake the majority in the House (not in the Senate, weâve got a good chance there), this is a problem for all of America.
Ailes, Murdoch and FOX will always make money. Its What They Do.
However, whatever âjournalistic integrityâ FOX has with the not-absolutely-nuts Republicans who still tune in is what they are doing some calculations on, Right now it is an issue of concern with them,
Trump and FOX News are already moving past last Thursday. Theyâre âfriendsâ again.
