And I would say the entire performance backfired spectacularly. Instead of ruining Trump’s chances, it increased his popularity as he wittily fought back against the sneering and hateful Kelly! After that debacle, there was no way I was gong to turn against Trump. And I doubt I’m alone in that regard.

Murdoch miscalculated bigtime. Hello, President Trump!

xzins: "I cannot abide most Fox shows because they are so obviously anti-Trump."

Then you must be watching some other Fox News Network.
The one I watch is obviously pro-Trump from early morning to late-night.
None -- zero, zip, nada -- are clearly pro-Hillary.

Of course, they do have pro-Hillary analysts and even some reporters, but none host a show and most get beaten up pretty severely by the hosts.
As I said, Megyn Kelly & Chris Wallace don't do anything for me, but I wouldn't call them obviously pro-Hillary.

I actually believe that both Hannity and the Judge are true Trump supporters.

I’d like to know who the anchors were who had their makeup nibbled off by Ailes.

Of course they’re not pro-Hillary.

They are obviously anti-trump and spend their time posting negative information about him.

“...the current management arrangement is just a stopgap until the election. “As of November 9, there will be a bloodbath at Fox,” predicts one host.”

Looking forward to the next shoe drop.

(Great article! Thanks drewh.)

Great Links. I was tweeting and posted these payments to Rigel Strategies payments as they were released. So glad this author followed up on the identity of Rigel Strategies.

How do Hannity and Judge Jeanine get away with criticizing Hillary and defending Trump?

Hannity, especially, from the start has never made a secret out of his dedication to conservatism (and support of Republicans) and he has not wavered. In other words they knew what they were getting in Hannity. And remember he was a part of Hannity and Colmes when Colmes was demoted to contributor. So somebody liked Sean. In the case of Jeanine,some of the same reasons may apply, Im not sure.

Fox News is almost uniformly pro-Trump

The ONLY people who say that are Democrats.

Sounds to me that ole Murdoch et al are in a conspiracy to rig a federal election ... a felony

Pining for the good old days of Law and Order and those who cared about it

The “conservative blog-o-sphere” seems to be part of the problem. A lot of so-called “conservatives” are part of the problem IMO. What is a “conservative” anyway? What is a “liberal”? Well, a liberal is a Leftist, so quit calling Leftists something that has to do with liberty, because they stand opposed to liberty.

What is a “conservative”? Well, that’s a tougher question. There are a lot of “conservatives” who are just what the term implies - lovers and keepers of the status quo - the “establishment” - exactly what the problem is these days. Then you have others, maybe more like myself, who love liberty, hate the status quo, and want to see the status quo and the establishment blown up. That has nothing to do with the meaning of the word “conservative” but has everything to do with the word “freedom.” So I’ve quit calling myself a conservative and I’ve replaced “liberal” with “Leftist”.

So in this case, the so-called “conservative blog-o-sphere” is part of the problem because a lot of so-called “conservatives” are actually establishment hacks who have little interest in liberty and the Constitutional rule of law that demands 80+% of the federal government be dismantled.

You can’t see what everyone else plainly sees.

FNC is hideous. Hannity, the Judge, Guilfoyle, Tucker, and Crowley need to get the hell over to Fox Business before its too late.

Great post by the way.

I don’t know that much about the “Conservative Treehouse” but I’m beginning to be impressed. Starting to look like these conservatives are the ones that love truth and freedom. Wish they would identify themselves as something more like “Liberty Treehouse” a bit like the idea of watering the tree of liberty at our founding.

The obvious question in all of this which I have been asking for a year is why does the Right let the Left run the Right’s show? That’s like committing suicide in front of a live audience. How stupid.

The second obvious question is why does the Right let the Left run the Presidential debates? Again, that’s like Trump standing up in front of a firing squad before a live audience and watching Hillary yell, “Fire!”

Rupert and his worthless sons should have their citizenship revoked and deported back to Australia. That is if Australia will take them back.

To me, Wallace looks like a weasel. Really. Amazingly, when I saw tapes of young Wallace in the Reagan years he looks relatively normal. But his visage has changed remarkably over the years into looking just like a weasel. Can’t stand him.
