I understand why people set Fox News apart from other media outlets, and it is somewhat related to this mindset:
And that is accurate as far as it goes. But in reality, Fox is packed with influential people in their organization who are not our friends, and not friends of conservatism.
They are people who have more in common with the NYT and CBS than they do with any other variant of media outlet.
We can accept there are some differences, but deep down, I believe what you said holds true, and we should keep in mind that there are more similarities between Fox and other media outlets hidden under their skin that we must be wary of.
They “reluctantly” support Trump.
They aren’t outright enemies like CNN, MSNBC, NYTs, but they aren’t friends/allies either.
Trump really wasn’t the GOPs first choice. You can tell who they wanted. They put them center stage, literally! LOL
Trump’s only saving grace is that he knows how to manage the media extremely well (better than anyone I can remember). What people see as ridiculous and presidential (making Denmark the 51st state), is really his effort to control a media narrative that is entirely stacked against him.
