  • CEO gets fired for sexual harassment on the same day Trump gets nominated for the Presidential Nominee
  • Rupert Murdoch decides he doesn't want his sons to takeover and handles it himself
  • Decides that pandering to the rabid Trump supporters was the best way to make money. Spends the next 4 (more?) years being a mouthpiece for Trump. Removes the 'Fair and Balanced' mantra of the company
  • Murdoch family starts to break up over Rupert pandering to Trump and his supporters
  • Fox News has a good record of calling elections. They correctly call that Biden has won Arizona which pisses off Trump and his supporters. The supporters start boycotting the channel and start watching channels like OAN so in response Fox News loses the little credibility they had left and fire the guy who called Arizona for Biden even though he was correct
  • This leads to them being a factor for January 6
Seriously fuck them.

Fox News: Feelings Over Facts.

I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing.

Hopefully Smartmatic and Dominion (the companies who own the voting machines accused of fraud) successfully sue them for billions.

Fox News was partisan hackery LONG before Trump showed up. Trump is a symptom, not the disease.

Yes they always aimed to present a conservative viewpoint compared to the other networks but they doubled down for Trump in a much more significant way.

Was there any other Presidential nominee that had Fox News hosts outright going to campaign rallies to promote the President on stage?
