    Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They'll keep the pressure up on the one that might give in. People like Starbucks, Apple and Netflix can just tough it out as a brand.

    Well, they wouldn't want to lose their pedo demographic.

    Just heard that 21st century fox has paid out $90 million (so far) in claims arising from sexual harassment at Fox News Channel.
    What a surprise.

    That is on top of what has already been aired.

    Good old Sean still trying to be O'reily


    Trump’s presidency has reduced Sean Hannity to a conspiracy-obsessed laughingstock: media critic.
    DAVID FERGUSON

    Vox.com media critic Carlos Maza released a new video on Wednesday detailing Fox News host Sean Hannity’s descent into a morass of Alex Jones-style conspiracy-mongering.

    Maza said that Hannity’s reporting has become increasingly unhinged in his ongoing effort to keep his audience distracted from the failures and multiple scandals of President Donald Trump’s administration.


    “What the f*ck is happening here?” Maza asked, pointing to Hannity fans’ bout of angrily destroying Keurig coffee makers in response to an advertising boycott.

    It’s what happens, Maza said, when “the loudest voice in the Fox News universe goes full conspiracy theorist.”

    Hannity has become Trump’s “permanent spokesman on Fox News,” doling out slavishly favorable coverage and eagerly stirring up conspiracy theories when he perceives that the president is under threat.
    Good

    Watched a bit of Hannity last night. Man, he is all-in.

    During his opening monologue, there was graphic in the lower left-hand corner showing what was coming up. While Hannity was going on and on and on about Hillary Clinton and Mueller and Russian uranium, the graphic was "Obama's Fox News Obsession." Yes, Obama is the one who's obsessed here. Perhaps he wishes Fox had spent more time talking about his Kenyan upbringing or something.

    These people are completely devoid of self-awareness. Or shame.

    Things I trust more than Fox News include The Three Great Lies, which I will not repeat, this being a family website.

    NOT Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
    I will trust Fox News less when she is booted out of the White House and lands a job there.

    Ah, Huck. Up to her usual tricks today, her boss goes down and in the dirt with one of his ************** references (to Gillibrand, echoing what he did to Mitt a couple of years back), and then Huck gets all offended because people noticed what went down. She has this special knack of being condescending while saying things that are brain-dead stupid.
