    Wow. Even when police violence is the issue, Trump is still the ultimate victim in FoxNewsWorld.

    Some of the Fox crew who were covering the DC protests yesterday got roughed up.

    I have to admit, I have mixed feelings about this. When you work for Fox you legitimize all kinds of heinousness.

    Shout them out. Don't touch them. That doesn't help anything.

    Yeah, not good. Just fodder for their viewers.

    I assumed there must have been another event other than them being shouted down and escorted out, but it appears there is only the one event. They didn't get roughed up. A mic was thrown or something and black protesters shielded him.

    I watched a few minutes of Fox News last night, particularly Laura Ingraham.

    It was all riot/looting and mostly Antifa. Oh, and some out and out racism. Something, something "Christy Teigen breaking people out of jail*... celebrities. Oh, is Oprah going to loot the Footlocker? You get a pair of Nikes...and you get a pair of Nikes."

    Do Antifa groups really exist, at least outside of Portland, maybe Seattle?



    *I keep seeing/hearing her name
    I had no idea who she is. I had to look her up. Nope, still don't know.

    I couldn't stomach watching Fox, but I'm sure they are fawning all over Little Lyin' Man's "leadership" and "decisive action," not to mention his "strong moral character" in "sending a message" to any of the leftist thugs and weak governors who won't listen...

    Actually in the time I watched, I don't think I heard his name mentioned.

    Perhaps Varney on Fix Business was fellating him last night, but that is ever night, I understand

    Fox is souring on him. That Judge guy (who is halfway sane) has been ripping Trump for lack of leadership, as has Tucker Carlson, although in Tucker's case the criticism seems to be that Trump hasn't killed enough looting Negroes. But still ... Trump is not at the moment Fox's flavor.

    I wonder if this will be like back in the day... When Walter Cronkite came out against the Vietnam war, that was the tipping point among the American public.

    If Trump doesn't have Fox to cheerlead for him, what does he have? Especially now that quite a few mainstream Republicans have peeled away?

    Only Wingnuts & crazy aunts/uncles watch it. But if only a small % of them turn on him, he's toast.

    If it does happen, wonder if it'll be Rupert or one of his sons who gives the thumbs down from up above. They essentially control a chunk of the electorate.

    They don’t really need Trump in office for Fox to do well so not out of the question. If Biden gets elected, Fox viewership may go up much like donations to NRA go up when Dems are in control.

    Yeah, Trump's biggest mistake was letting Uncle Vladdy actually make him get elected. He would have been a much bigger loudmouth critic, and the darling of Fox if he had lost, and all he would have had to do is trash President Hillary and say how much better he would have done it.

    I wish we didn't have to see exactly how full of shit he really is, since we know what he would have done...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it that how minority communities live? In fear of armed young men that make the rules as they please?

    Thanks for proving point. [emoji6]

    Like I should know or care who is married to John Legend.

    Hell, I barely know or care who John Legend is.

    Ah, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. They still do that soft soft soft core porn crap?

    LOL. I am not really into showbiz but both of them are very active in social media and support several worthy causes.

    I don’t know about SI, I stopped subscribing to paper magazines like 10 years ago, but I recall one day that I got the swimsuit issue im the mail, put it in my briefcase and opened while riding public transportation.... I felt like checking a porn magazine in front of everyone... back to the briefcase immediately...

    In this case, it may be relieving someone else's misery, no?
