Fox News Identity Crisis: Indulge Trump’s Election Conspiracy or Reject It … and Watch Its Audience Flee?
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-identity-crisis-indulge-trumps-el
ection-conspiracy-or-reject-it-and-watch-its-audience-flee/

Fox News has projected Joe Biden to have won the election— well, its news division has.

Simultaneously, the network’s top-rated opinion hosts have continued to entertain the increasingly loony conspiracy theory that the election was stolen from Trump through widespread voter fraud. They have been careful in their words, but the near-constant amplification of baseless allegations of a rigged or stolen election has lent credibility to the InfoWars-esque conspiracy theories being touted by Trump. The same theories mocked behind closed doors are being laughed out of courtrooms.

The growing disconnect between the two sides of Fox News programming reveals its current identity crisis and raises a question about their immediate future. Do they want to be a news outlet where facts, as disappointing as they may be, are paramount? Or an information entertainment company that today solely acts as cheerleaders for outgoing President Donald Trump?

This dissonance was neatly illustrated last weekend when Maria Bartiromo, a Fox News anchor and ardent Trump booster, who had just given the platform of her Sunday morning show to Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell. Both laid out wild and unproven conspiracy theories and claimed that Trump was the rightful winner of the election. Bartiromo seemed pleased to hear the news and never once challenged her guests on their claims, simply accepting their claim that they had evidence as evidence enough.

But just an hour or so later, Fox News NEWS reporter Eric Shawn filed a thorough report that effectively debunked every single claim that had been presented as real on Bartiromo’s show. It was yet another look at Fox News schizophrenia, and viewers who watched both segments surely endured intense whiplash.

A similar moment occurred when Fox News host Pete Hegseth reported on-air that “So far, state election officials have not reported serious irregularities with the vote that would affect the outcome of the race.” Immediately after, the Trump-boosting host added, “That was in the teleprompter. I read it. I don’t know if I even believe it.”

No wonder that a recent poll found 70% of Republicans believe President Donald Trump was cheated out of the election. Where do those Republicans get their news? Outlets like Newsmax are certainly a venue, but the top hosts at Fox — Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham — remain the most prominent source for the president’s supporters.

Trump alone is not responsible for such vast indoctrination. His baseless claims of a stolen election are just unhinged musings in the absence of a pro-Trump media taking them seriously.

To get it out of the way: No serious person believes that Trump actually won the election until it was stolen from him through a mass conspiracy, as Trump’s legal team is arguing. These arguments are made mostly outside of court, since now nearly all of their 30-plus or so legal challenges have been dismissed. Nonetheless, the massive audience of Fox News prime time is being told, night after night, that there is reason to suspect foul play.

Why?

To put it simply: Fox News is in a very uncomfortable bed of its own making. Telling its viewers that Trump is full of it and that the insane conspiracy theories he is pushing are meritless could prove lethal to the bottom line. The news division’s efforts to dispel these increasingly loony conspiracies have enraged viewers, driving them to outlets like Newsmax and OANN, where Trump is the true victor of the 2020 election.

Trump transparently complained about Fox News forgetting the “Golden Goose,” forgetting that Fox News had long been the dominant network before he entered the political fray. In fact, Trump owes far more to Fox News promotion than the other way around. But It does seem that Fox’s opinion hosts are concerned that Trump’s supporters, like the president himself, are not willing to move on to the next administration, and are gritting their teeth as long as they can, with the hope that Trump gives up the farce before they anger too many of their viewers.

If you care about the country, and the truth, and not Fox’s ratings, all you can do is hope that it doesn’t go too far.

Ratings are dipping at Fox News. The network is actually getting beaten in many metrics by CNN, which is enjoying a rating surge due to a confluence of TWO once-in-a-century news events: a global pandemic and a president unwilling to concede an election he has clearly lost.

There are several reasons for this. Election fatigue, certainly. And just like some sports fans don’t stay to the end of a game when their team has clearly lost, people turn the TV off, especially if that channel tells them the team has lost, when they want to believe otherwise.

The first stage of grief is denial, and many Trump fans are in denial that he lost the election. A few decisions by Fox News has turned that denial into anger.

Trump’s GOP is Increasingly Racist and Authoritarian—and Here to Stay
Having already forsaken Republican principles and policies, his supporters are now willing to forsake reality, too.
https://thebulwark.com/trumps-gop-is-increasingly-racist-and-authorita
rian-and-here-to-stay/

Trump did not materialize from the ether. He rose from a political party bent on thwarting demographic change by subverting the democratic process; a party whose base was addicted to white identity politics, steeped in religious fundamentalism, and suffused with authoritarian cravings—a party which, infected by Trumpism, now spreads the multiple malignancies metastasized by Trump’s personal and political pathologies.

Since the civil rights revolution triggered an influx of resentful Southern whites, the GOP has catered to white grievance and anxiety. Trump’s transformative contribution has been to make racial antagonism overt—a badge of pride that bonds him to his followers in opposition to a pluralist democracy that threatens their imperiled social and political hegemony.

Hence the 2019 tweet in which America’s president told four congresswomen of color—three native-born Americans and one a naturalized citizen—that they should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” With poisonous efficiency, Trump managed to combine racism, xenophobia, and hostility to non-white immigrants to inflame his followers’ antagonism against “the other.”

He comprehends his audience all too well. Take the poll released last week by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) measuring the attitudes of “Fox News Republicans”—the 40 percent of party adherents who trust Fox as their primary source of TV news. The survey found that 91 percent oppose the Black Lives Matter movement; 90 percent believe that police killings of blacks are “isolated incidents”; and 58 think that whites are victimized by racial discrimination, compared to 36 percent who think blacks are.

Trump Spends Another Selfless Night In Lab Inventing Vaccines
https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2020/11/17/trump-spends-another-self
less-night-in-lab-inventing-vaccines/

DISPLAYING a level of compassionate selflessness not seen since the days of Jesus Christ, outgoing US president Donald Trump has pulled another all-nighter in his White House lab, working on yet another Covid-19 busting vaccine.

“Bless him, he hasn’t left that lab in months,” confirmed one aide unaware Trump was simply trying to look busy by mixing Coke, Sprite, Fanta and Dr Pepper into one measuring jug from his My First Chemistry Set toy set.

Trump, the sole creator of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, according to himself, have yielded encouraging results thus far and it is believed he’s thought of little else but finding a cure, even forgetting to dye his hair so lost to singular focus.

“He said he couldn’t in good conscience risk a single American citizen’s life which is why he tests the vaccines on himself and only himself,” added the aide, watching Trump actually inject his sons Eric and Donald Jr.

“Oh sit still you whiny little shit, it is so not worse than the bleach injections, you’re just being a wimp this one is 104% effective,” Trump barked as he pinned down his son turned lab rat Eric who’s skin began mutating shortly after receiving his latest jab.

Such has been Trump’s singular focus aides say he remains unaware that he has lost the recent election.

“Like he’d care anyway, his only thoughts are for the American public never himself. God damn it, that guy won’t leave that lab until he has everyone cured… nice putt Mr President,” confirmed one aide greenside at one of Trump’s golf courses.

Because in Marco's racist black and white world devoid of nuance, it's impossible to be mad at both
of them at the same time.

I look down on illegal lawbreaking immigrants with the same disdain as I do automation. Even more
though, because they made a conscious decision. Allowing themselves to be victimized by those
willing to use different means to achieve the same end, while either completely oblivious to
the fact, or not caring at all that their illegal actions are hurting other people in the process.

You can't expect victims to feel sorry for other victims when the first set of victims in that
equation A) Did it to themselves, B) Have no legal right to be here in the first place, and C) Their
mere presence is an invasion of our country that our Democrat leaders are encouraging and taking
full advantage of for their own nefarious purposes.

Let's just say that there is no legitimate reason why somebody like Nancy Pelosi should be worth
a quarter of a BILLION dollars after a lifetime of public "service", mkay?

Suddenly Republicans want norms, ethics and "civility": Are they actually psychopaths?
Trump is still trying to steal the election — but Republicans are acting as if they never enabled this criminal
https://www.salon.com/2020/12/02/suddenly-republicans-want-norms-ethic
s-and-civility-are-they-actually-psychopaths/

Throughout this post-election period, the reaction from congressional Republicans has been entirely predictable. Mostly they've remained mum about the demented behavior of their president during the last month as he has continued his precipitous dive into a rabbit hole filled with conspiracy theories so delusional that it calls for medical intervention. A few have stepped up to say publicly that Trump has a "right" to pursue legal remedies in court, while privately assuring reporters that the president just needs to act out a little bit before he finally can emotionally accept what's happened to him.

His stalwart manservant, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., initially involved himself in Trump's attempts to strong-arm state officials into throwing out legitimate votes in order to help him win. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has evidently been poring over some alleged statistical analysis he found on a dodgy website, and has convinced himself there's something hinky about votes that were counted after midnight. And Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, the man Trump once accused of stealing the Iowa caucuses back in 2016, now wants the Supreme Court to take up one of the president's absurd cases.

This isn't the first time a demagogue and conspiracy-monger has captured the Republican Party. CNN's Ron Brownstein has pointed out the unpleasant parallels between the way the GOP establishment kowtowed to Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare of the '40s and '50s and their servile acquiescence to Trump's malignant narcissism. In fact, this seems to be a permanent strain in American conservatism:
