Is FOX transitioning?

[kentuck]

Are they being ordered to change the way they have been reporting on Trump?

Or are they doing it because their conscience is telling them it is the right thing to do?

Did Trump request to be on the show? Or was he invited? The former or the latter?

Whether it is a temporary malfunction or a real change?

Part II tomorrow night. (Almost sounds like a ratings experiment)

The interview by Bret Baier, followed by the comments from Brit Hume, seemed to be part of a new strategy that FOX is experimenting with?

If Trump loses FOX, he loses everything.

1. Conscience? Oh, that IS funny!

[Skittles]

3. that struck me as hilarious too

[RockRaven]

2. Whatever the correct answer may be, it is NOT the conscience one.

That much is certain.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. Very, very safe bet (nt)

[Meadowoak]

5. It won't matter, if fox changes, the MAGA will just go wherever

They tell them what they want to hear.

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. That was a surprisingly straight journalistic interview.

Give props to Bier for simply reading the charges and letting Trump explain his non-sensical defense.

[intrepidity]

19. It was, although when Trump was being obtuse about the Iran document

Baier let him ramble garbage too long, and should have directly asked: "what document were you pointing to while saying you can't show it to the witnesses present?"

"It .... there was no doc... there were newspaper clippings and..."

"No, it says here---and this is from a taped recording with your voice saying these words---(and then quote what he said)....what document were you holding at that moment?"

"There was no document....I don't know...it was just memos and newspaper..."

"So you were just BSing them? Because they say you were looking at a classifiied war plan document."

Etc. Hold that mofos feet to the fire til you can smell burning flesh!

But he gets partial credit.

7. I think there's a couple more lawsuits they gotta answer to.

So, no, it’s not a matter of doing the right thing. It’s all about the money. Imo.

[kentuck]

9. It's about the money.

I agree.

[Joinfortmill]

8. I'll never trust them. My guess is Trump is toxic

[AZLD4Candidate]

10. Again, no he doesn't lose everything. He still has Newsmax, OAN, all RW print media, and the entire

AM dail.

His cultist followers will vote for him for dictator.

I don't think he loses anything to be honest.

[godsentme]

11. $787 billion maybe?

Waiting for him to begin trashing fox again in 3, 2, 1...

[kentuck]

12. When they get rid of Hannity or Ingraham, then we might believe they are open to real change?

It might only last until FOX Friends in the Morning?

13. memo from rupert

"cut the orange asshole loose, he's costing me money."

[Initech]

14. Oh he'll be the nominee and the cult will be brought into line.

Move along, nothing to see here. No independent thought required.

[Bluethroughu]

15. It's not a change of conscience, or they wouldn't have gone on thus far.

I think the Maga crowd, may be waning. I do not see many trump flags, I'm hoping that's a positive sign.

[Azathoth]

16. Murdoch made it clear he wants Trump gone

The Post has been skewering him with headlines for awhile now. This is publicly available news.

But Fox entertainers get their ratings from the death cult base, and the death cult base still want to ride the SS Trumptanic to the bottom of the sea, so Fox is never going to lead the charge against Trump, they'll merely follow the tide.

[Gore1FL]

17. Fox can't transition! Because Chomosomes and 1980s textbooks! nt

[Big Blue Marble]

18. The Republican Power Makers are not stupid...

even if their minions are. They know that Trump with indictment after indictment
Trump now has enough followers to win the nomination, but not the GE.

They want to cut him off as he will be toxic in the genera and take their chances
with one of the others and so it begins drip, drip. drip.

Do not be fooled. Fox is not overnight becoming journalistic. They
have just switched horses.

We will see how it all works out.

20. Wonder

The way they went after Trump in that interview today makes me wonder. After they dumped Tucker and that "Wannabe Dictator" guy they might be shifting a little.

Unlike a Christian hypocrite however I don't just "grant forgiveness"... They spent years destroying America. It's going to take A LOT of doing the right thing to get into my graces.

[Kablooie]

21. They probably see Desantis as a bigger potential cash cow right now.

So if they knock Trump out of the way they can start building back their audience with the new fascist.
