Fox has given Trump yuuuuge amounts of air time, while shorting the other candidates. It looks like they’re in the tank for The Don.

“Fox has given Trump yuuuuge amounts of air time, while shorting the other candidates. It looks like they’re in the tank for The Don.”

You know, they have to follow laws about this. If they give X minutes one evening to one candidate, they have to offer exactly X minutes to all of the others. The penalties to do otherwise are very severe and you can bet your a$$ that this is being monitored closely and will be audited by several agencies.

Trump just happens to always be available.

OTOH, keep in mind that Fox also offers that time to Hillary and Bernie. Bernie at least had the guts to show up, and was treated fairly and gave a good accounting of himself. Hillary, OTOH: 0.0. According to Fox, her flying monkeys don’t even respond or return calls anymore.

All networks give him air time, because he will come on any of the 3 cable networks, FOX, CNN and MSNBC. And when he comes, they get ratings, which translates into more advertising revenues, which is smart business by all 3 networks.

However, what is happening is that more and more Republicans are supporting Trump and the political analyst on all those shows, all 3 of them, have Republican establishment advisors and campaign managers from prior Republican candidates and they are for the most part, anti-Trump. Think about it. Karl Rove and Stephen Hayes on Fox, Kevin Madden, Novarro and Campbell on CNN.

On MSNBC, the main guy there is former head of the RNC Steele, the Lt. Gov. of Maryland and he is basically told the RNC establishment to not tinker with the primary process. He has in fact been the most objective of the former RNC establishment operatives who now work for either FOX, CNN or MSNBC.

From what I’ve seen, FNC has given Trump more coverage than any other candidate. But I don’t watch Fox 24/7.
