What The Fox? Sandra Smith, Neil Cavuto And The Unmasking Of A Potemkin Network

Once upon a time, Fox News was the “fair and balanced” network, the video equivalent of talk radio where one could go to get news and commentary one could hear nowhere else, truth otherwise blocked by the legacy media gatekeepers. It thrived precisely for that reason and harvested hundreds if not millions of viewers hungry for the truth and the facts about the country and world they lived in and what was happening in both of them.

Somewhere along the way, Fox News began to lose its way and went from a voice crying in the political wilderness to another media outlet seeing how many “likes” it could get on its Facebook page. Fox News forgot, as the old adage goes, to dance with them that brung ‘ya, dropping in 2017 the founding slogan, “Fair and Balanced,” a Freudian acknowledgment those terms no longer applied and were no longer a corporate goal.

I repeat:

The Murdochs built Faux on the business model of going after viewers politically fed up with the Leftist “main stream” networks. Those viewers that built Faux were Conservatives. That was a business decision by the Murdochs, not a political one.

But the Murdochs not being Conservative tired of what Faux was showing, and bit by bit, with more vigor since 2016,, started reshaping its management, operations and public face to look more like the Leftist main stream media. In fact, it began to go after the viewers that stayed with the main stream media when Faux built its Conservative base.

But the Left/Liberal viewers have no cause or reason that Faux can present that would get them to switch off ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC or NPR and start watching Faux.

And Faux cannot maintain its pursuit of those Left/Liberal viewers and keep its Conservative viewers.

In sum:

Faux is committing suicide because it is going against the very rationale that grew the business in the first place, and without that rationale it can neither attract Left/Liberal viewers or keep enough Conservative viewers.

White liberal 'elites' controlled:
CBS,
NBC,
ABC,
PBS,
NPR,
New York Times,
Washington Post,
CNN,
MSNBC,
all newspapers in the country other than two,
and 96%+ movies and documentaries.

With all the above, white liberal 'elites' resented that half the Americans who live here and work here were given voice on one little upstart called FOXNews... a little voice for the powerless...

Liberal's greed and jealousy made them attack FOXNews from day one.

The 'peasants' had no right to voice...

So liberal thugs who never can have enough for themselves fought to destroy FOXNews... and later under the vile Chris Wallace used it to 'school' conservatives by their 'betters'. It was ugly because liberals are ugly. Bullies. Selfish control freaks.

Liberal owners, bullies and their flunkies... and their desperate wives who want to be accepted at fancy international parties without having to explain they don't approve of FOXNews either... made their move.

Liberal "elites" - disguising and vile as they come... it's why they use 'global warming' and the 'black community' as cover for their pettiness and moral bankruptcy, and bottomless greed... but everyone's catching on to them. One of of six black men voted for Trump and 40% of Hispanics... We're NOT the only people who see the 'elites' for the white trash they are... AND that's why they want to shut down our voice - we can see them.
