Its a weird time when Fox News feels entirely like a state media trump puppet org I wonder if these smaller fish are anticipating that Fox may not be able to shoulder all the bullshit or if maybe they are hearing that things might shift in a major way and they are preparing to fill the vacuum with their own cancerous growth of a company?
