FOX NEWS, THE ‘BUD LIGHT’ OF CABLE NEWS???

So let’s file this one under: They had to have known that this was going to happen! And of course, what I’m talking about, here, is the rather harebrained idea arrived at by the geniuses running the show over there at Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson, the last guy worth watching on the entire network. And as I’ve said before, I haven’t watched Fox since election night 2020. And with Tucker now gone there’s really no longer reason for anyone to watch. I mean, who’s left? Baier? Hannity? Cavuto? MacCallum? You gotta be kidding! How is it that any of them are any different than any of the boobs on CNN or MSDNC? They’re not! They’re no different at all!!!

And you know, it was once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away that “Fair and Balanced” was a fairly accurate catchphrase, even though it was a rare occurrence when any truly hardcore Democrat dared to make an appearance on the network. And it would eventually cease to be anything more than a bumper sticker slogan. And it really became nothing but an oxymoron with the arrival of Donald Trump on the scene as it was with very few exceptions that the network was obviously anti-Trump. And it was over time that the anti-Trump sentiment only seemed to intensify among the first stringers there at the network, culminating on election night 2020.

I can’t say that I’m all that disappointed to hear that the ratings for Fox News have dropped off rather precipitously in the wake of Carlson departing the network. During its 8 pm hour, the network has dropped from a three million viewer average to a 1.65 million viewer average since the departure of Carlson; the hour was previously filled by Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade, which will then be filled by Fox News personality Lawrence Jones. Good luck, Lawrence, you’ll need it!! And it was in a statement this week that the company confidently said that the network will continue delivering the coverage that has made it a ratings powerhouse in recent years.

It’s now very clear that Fox News needed Tucker far more than Tucker needed Fox News. Their ratings plunge has proven that. And firing him was nothing more than the final nail in their ratings coffin. Most Americans are coming to realize that the legacy media is owned by the global elites making them able to spout whatever propaganda their bosses want. Fox News has long been nothing more than controlled opposition and when Tucker started saying inconvenient truths, he simply had to go. A journalist was fired for being a journalist. Psychoanalyze that America, and acknowledge its implications and take a magnifying glass to the people behind the firing.

But Fox did far more than to simply fire an anchor, when they got rid of Carlson. Because it was in so doing that they succeeded in removing all doubt, as to who they really are, and what they’re really all about. First, they called Arizona in favor of Joey B way too early. Then they canceled Tucker’s continuing expose’ of the unseen January 6 footage. Finally, they succeeded in getting rid of the one person on their network who called foul on the government for violating constitutionally guaranteed rights, not just of Conservatives, but of American citizens in general. People just start to doubt you’re on their side when you start a pattern of behavior like that.

And so it would appear that keeping Americans uninformed and stupid is far more important to the elites than is making money. Carlson exposed the ‘Deep State’ and corporate hypocrisy. He showed us how both are dedicated to the promoting of anti-American values, and they did it, and continue to do it, consistently. They don’t care about viewers, because there are trillions of dollars at stake. Tucker singlehandedly flipped the Ukraine narrative. And that’s far more expensive than some lost viewers. Fox News essentially Drudged themselves. Now they’re just another soon to be antique fraudcasting network that folks like me no longer pay any attention to.

So maybe this is the new business model used by so many big companies, one that has it being more important to be woke than to actually make a profit, although you would think that investors would be more than a little pissed off. Unless they’re just as woke as are these companies. And so Fox seems to have joined companies like Anheuser-Busch and Disney in using the business model that does little more than to alienate their customer base. Thanks for the lesson that everyone already knows. Most people are pretty fed up with the cancel culture, from being cancelled or seeing a prominent figure cancelled and smeared. It is time to “cancel” the culture of the left.

Everyone at Fox deserves to lose their job. The fact that Hannity and the other corporate losers didn’t stand up for Tucker says it all. Tucker was the only thing that saved Fox after the 2020 election debacle and their shameful early calling of Arizona, not to mention their hiring of Paul Ryan and their turning against President Trump and his voters. It seems to me that Fox thought itself a bit more popular and beloved than they were. I think they thought, we rode out O’Reilly’s firing, we can ride this out too. Big mistake! Report the truth and lose your job! Smear your opponent and get a pay raise. This is life in the world of ‘journalism’ when elections are hijacked.

Carlson was fired because he used his prime-time platform to expose the crimes and illicit goings-on of the most powerful men, corporations and agencies in the world. That’s why he was fired, because he revealed the truth about big pharma’s toxic injections, Fauci’s deranged lockdowns, Joey’s police-state surveillance, the expansive deep-state censorship program, CRT, BLM, ESG, George Floyd, drag-queen children’s hour, the oddball cult of trangenderism, Ukraine’s dictator-president Zelensky and all the other pernicious inanities that are being used like a wrecking-ball on the nation’s moral and historical foundation. Tucker exposed them all.

It’s not about personality. It’s about the stories Tucker did. His was the highest rated show on all cable news because of the stories he did. Other hosts followed his lead with similar stories. By removing Tucker, the message to all remaining hosts is those kinds of stories are no longer allowed, and they’ve shown they’re willing to remove anyone who doesn’t get the message. That’s why it wasn’t just the 8pm hour that had a ratings crash, but all of Fox News. Why bother watching what we think will be just another censored cable channel. Yes, they might still lean right, but they will ignore the stories that don’t fit what the bosses want. That’s why I’ll never go back.

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF ‘COMMIE CHRIS’ WALLACE…FAUX JOURNALIST!!!

It would seem that these days the ONLY way one can possibly hope to be taken seriously as a ‘journalist’ by your fellow ‘journalists’, is to, above all else, be a very vocal, as well as an enthusiastic supporter of impeaching Donald Trump.  So I’m sure that those of us who see Chris Wallace for what he is, bother him little more than a cloudy day.  Because as long as he is considered a member in good standing within the Hate-Trump media, that’s all he really needs.  That the rest of us see him as being little more than the class clown or, worse, simply a hack, but most definitely NOT as a serious ‘journalist’, bothers him not in the least. 

So in describing the goings on of the first day of this ‘impeachment inquiry,’ it was once again one of the many resident Trump haters there at Fox News, Chris Wallace, who did so in what was near orgasmic intensity.  So what, exactly, was this impeachable offense that seemed so obvious to Chris but that so many others seemed to have missed?  Now I know I am nowhere near the accomplished member of the press that Chris is, which has to be the only possible explanation why I must have missed that which Chris seemed to think was so obvious and most impressively stated why the impeachment of President Trump is so necessary.

It was during Wednesday’s impeachment inquiry coverage on Fox News that Wallace called former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor’s testimony “very damaging to the president.”  Wallace said, “I think that William Taylor was a very impressive witness and was very damaging to the president. He took very copious notes at almost every conversation. When he put quotes in his opening statement, he said those were direct quotes from what was said.”  Now I must admit that I spent not a minute of my day watching any of this clown show, but I heard no actual journalist who took the time to agree with Wallace’s assessment.

Anyway, Wallace went on to add, “It also doesn’t hurt that he has a voice like Edward R. Murrow. So he is a pretty impressive presence up there. I think very nonpolitical. He went out of his way to talk about what he knew, what he was specifically testament to. The only thing he talked about was a strong feeling that it was in the U.S. national security interests to support Ukraine in the fight against Russia. But he certainly wasn’t taking any partisan position.”  So was this guy actually watching the same goings on as so many others were and who were nowhere near as orgasmic about what it was that they had witnessed?

Impressive?  Really, Chris?  If anything, at least from what I heard from those far more reliable than old Chris, both of these grandstanding witnesses did absolutely nothing to bolster that case of Schiff & Co.  I’m inclined to believe that it did far more damage than it did any amount of good.  But let’s be honest, it doesn’t really matter, because what’s going on here is really nothing more than just a formality, and an attempt to persuade at least some Americans that’s what’s really going on isn’t merely a political lynching.  Democrats will impeach him anyway because they have the votes, no evidence but enough votes.

Sorry, but reporting third, fourth, fifth and six hand news nothing more than gossip, not damaging evidence.  Who even watches Chris Wallace anymore, the same folks who watch ‘The View’?  The night Trump won the election, it was Wallace who announced that America had just elected their first independent candidate as President.  Wallace knew what party Trump was a member and who voted for him, but refused to even acknowledge him as being a Republican.  That says it all, and so much for journalistic objectivity.  And it has only gotten worse since then.  Wallace is worse than Smith was, or Cavuto is.  A complete hack.

I’m pretty much done with this topic.  Let’s face it, any wrongdoing by the president that somehow requires his entire term to be investigated can, I think, be considered as being a complete waste of time.  Either you have actual proven firsthand knowledge of some crime or you don’t, and if you don’t then you're doing nothing more than speculating.  Frankly I don’t understand why Donald Trump is the first sitting president to be prosecuted daily by an out of control, and obviously left wing media, and few seem to actually care. It’s baffling how this is being passed off as okay, conversations between world leaders are none of my business

I’m sure there are those who once thought, despite the fact he has openly admitted he's a registered Democrat, that Wallace had some degree of veracity, fairness, and, yes, even intelligence.  But with his constant haranguing, Wallace has proven us to be WRONG on all counts.  A mumbling, stumbling ‘star witness’ who admits to making opinions based on second, third, and even fourth-hand hearsay does not offer “damaging” testimony. For Wallace make such a claim he is either 1) misinformed, 2) a liar or 3) just plain stupid. If he had any credibility left, he just blew it up with his asinine comments.

Wallace no longer even pretends to be objective or, for that matter, even fair. And to suggest the pitch of someone's voice, somehow gives them credibility is something that only a true imbecile would say. Perhaps, since Wallace himself talks like he has his mouth full of marbles, someone who articulates clearly might be impressive.  But, the more Wallace speaks these days, the more he loses a little more of what credibility it is that he may have once actually possessed. Fox News Sunday once had a superb talent as host.  His name was Tony Snow.  And a punk like Wallace falls far short of ever being able to fill Tony’s shoes.
