Fox News is for sale

Am sitting in the customer lounge at the mechanic. Sadly, Fox News is on.

What is not sad is that all political commercials that are running on Fox News (in the Bay Area) are D ads. However, they should be slamming Trump which would be a better use of their spend on this network.

I guess even Fox News is open to the highest bidder. In an ideal world, I would have a remote zapper to change the channel.

Fox News isn't the disease, it is a symptom. It wouldn't exist without conservatives. Remove it and some other network would quickly take its place.

The same thing is already happening with gun groups. The NRA is falling apart, and gunners are flocking to other banners. The giant 20k person gun rally in VA was put together by one of the new groups. The NRA has their own pathetic little protest a week earlier and had 1% the turnout.

In this case the monster is a hydra, cut off the head and the body just grows another one.

They've created a massive subculture of craven meatheads.
