Your four-plus years of kissing Trumps ass, covering-up his incompetence, ignoring his corruption, and lying to your viewers on his behalf has finally paid off bigly!
Just in time for the season of giving, your loyalty is being rewarded by your Dear Leader telling his base to ignore you, and get the real news from other propaganda outlets.
Arent you proud of all the hard work youve put in staring straight-faced into a camera as you spout conspiracy theories and utter bullshit finally being repaid by a grateful pResident throwing you under Santas sleigh?
Surely youre thrilled that your Christmas stockings are filled with falling ratings, and your Inbox is overflowing with cheerful Yuletide Fuck you! messages from your former devotees!
So Happy Holidays to all and sundry at FOX-News! You wouldnt be where you are today without that famous loyalty that Trump inevitably shows his supporters everywhere!

I think sticking Biden with the wreckage of Trump might not be considered a bad thing for them.
The Murdoch family sold Fox Entertainment at the high point ($71B) so I don't think they are sweating the lost revenue short term (family walked away with over $10B). In the long term these weirdos are going to return to Fox.

Chairman Pai has just announced a plan to waive media-ownership rules for Fox and allow the Murdoch family to control even more TV stations and newspapers in the New York City market.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is hellbent on doing as much damage as possible before the Biden administration takes office. And that includes doling out one last favor for Rupert Murdoch.
Fox asked the Trump FCC to permanently waive a restriction that limits Foxs TV station and newspaper ownership in the New York City market where the company already owns two local-television stations and one local newspaper. This move would make Foxs ownership of WWOR, WNYW and the New York Post permanent despite the agencys own rules that prohibit one company from controlling this many broadcast stations and newspaper outlets in a given market.
Chairman Pai is trying to quickly push this Fox request through the FCC, allowing for public comment only until Dec. 4.

So while Trump is posturing about how bad FOX News is, in reality he's doing them a BIG favor. What do you think he's going to expect in return?
FreePress.net put out an alert and petition this last week.

So many who want to believe in a fantasy life of being rich and famous. How many were taken in by D.T.'s campaign statement "You all are going to be so rich".
They are losing their demographic. Scientific calamities speak louder than their words, yearly.
They've fought immigration for years of any sort because many immigrants mostly won't vote for the great white way.
They've been the most shameless and soulless of sycophants to the polluting industries.
THEIR most loyal followers won't wear masks nor take sensible health precautions.
Now they've driven the crazy clown car so far they can't turn back or lose their followers, like now.
They also cannot moderate their positions without the same effect.
So they'll try and win back the worst of their base by more misinformation and hate speech pundits towards President Joe Biden.
We'll watch in horrified distance as Sean Hannity degenerates into the soulless monster that hides behind stars and stripes.
Along with his loyal flock.
Good luck with that, after so many lose a family member in isolation to the ignorance they fostered.
Fuck Fox News.
I hope they get sued off their collective asses and their mouthpieces too.

As soon as Trump is out and Biden is in, Fox will be rabid again and their followers will be right there.

(1,236 posts)They have spent over 20 years in the pursuit of tearing down this country and have had a few minor setbacks and now one major one. But they have the infrastructure and good old American hate to pick themselves back up and move on.

Oh, wait. First things first: teach them to gaf about democracy.
