Fox News’ Media Suicide
American Spectator ^ | 12/8/2020 | LOU AGUILAR

Posted on 12/10/2020 6:44:56 PM PST by marcusmaximus

It was entirely expected that the worst year in my lifetime should have the worst election in my lifetime. Not because the second-best president in my lifetime (after Ronald Reagan) lost, but because we don’t know for sure that he did. I would rather be certain that the ghost of Joe Biden won outright than see the greatest nation on Earth embarrass itself like Venezuela.

Sadly, the unprecedented goalpost-shifting and manipulation by the Left, bolstered by the usual obsequious accommodation by the Right, has created a national humiliation that will fester for a long time to come, no matter who gets inaugurated in January. Should that be Biden, I shall leave it to more expert political analysts to dissect the cause and effects of such a disaster, while I’ll focus on the cultural, media, and artistic ramifications. And I’ll start with the most astonishing example of media suicide in my lifetime — that of the Fox News Corporation (FNC).

El Rushbo talked about this article, today. It hits the nail squarely on the head.

And they all knew it was coming.

Fox didn’t commit suicide. They did this purpose because they are agenda driven leftists/globalists from top down. They don’t care about profits. Those at the top of Faux the Murdochs are rich, will always be rich.

Second best is YouTube, which offered its own suicide note yesterday.

"....we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election... We will begin enforcing this policy today, and will ramp up in the weeks to come."

Censorship in the name of "democracy." Bravo, YouTube. Just jump!

“Watched fake objective anchor Chris Wallace transform into a rabid Trump-sniping chipmunk.”

LOL!

I never trusted Fox News from the very beginning because they always distanced themselves from Rush.

Fix News has always been just another outlet for the Ministry of Propaganda, they had fooled a lot of people with a few opinion shows that they were something they were not.

The article mentions how NewsMax ratings have increased as the FoxNews ratings have plummeted. Does anyone know how the OAN News ratings have done in this same time-frame? I’ve only watched NewsMax a few times. Not bad, but I prefer OAN.

Watch the series SUCCESSION; its a very thinly disguised account of the Scottish family that owns American media; totally bereft of principle or personal morality.

Very good read.

I may watch CNN headline news again some day. ( rather look my enemy in the eye then have my so called ally sticking a knife in my back from behind.) But I will never watch Fox News again.

Stupid viewers are worth MUCH more to advertisers!
Advertisers pay more for them.
And only advertisers pay for the shows.

FOX is only following the money and doing what’s most profitable for their investors.

“They don’t care about profits. Those at the top of Faux the Murdochs are rich, will always be rich.”

Murdochs are like so many pro sports team owners who have shitty teams year after year. They don’t care about winning, they only care about profits from licensed products, gate, hot dogs, beer, parking, advertising, etc.

Looking forward to seeing Cavuto sink to -80-90%.

Why call it suicide when they have China to pay staff?
