FOX News is still 100% Pro Trump! [View all]

Every day I read threads here about how FOX is starting to crack in its role as part of the Trump campaign for President. It's not true, i visit their site every day, it's still all in for Trump. Right now their top headlines are about Joe Biden's Ukraine scandal, another article about how Hillary might run because Joe Biden will have to drop out because of his Ukraine scandal, an article attacking the Ukraine whistle blower, and an article about how South Park agrees with Trump. Even their headline about their poll on impeachment is blunted and doesn't contain the poll results. Their Turkey article is down the page and is short and doesn't even mention Trump.

Occasionally Smith or Wallace say a 10 second blurb critical of Trump or question a Trump lie, but if you watch FOXNews 24 hours a day, like before, you're still getting 23 hours, 59 minutes and 30 seconds of pro Trump propaganda.

Even the Fox News contributor who Tweeted about the special ops soldier feeling ashamed for the first time ever didn't make it into any FOX News platform, it was just a couple Tweets, didn't make it onto any of their news sites or channels.

My point is, FOX is still a state media company, run by and for Republicans for Trump. There hasn't been any change recently, it's still literally an arm of the Trump Campaign. Any occasional critical moment is not unusual.

Not trying to be negative, but there is false hope spreading here around FOX, knowing what you're up against allows the fight to be more effective.
