I’m surprised that Fox actually figured this out. If you watch Bret Baier’s show and listen to Dr. K and the rest of the Fox Talking Heads all you hear is:
1. The Moderators did a great job
2. 24,000,000 24,000,000 24,000,000 ...
3, Trump is dead after his terrible performance on the debate
4. We are the Fair and Balanced Network
None of the above except item 2 is actually true of course. But it has been the Fox Party Line for several days.
But Ailes is right. Trump could really, really damage that phony Fair and Balaced reputation if he elected to. So Ailes made the right move. Maybe we will see a little less of the “Isn’t Jeb great” stuff.
Karl Rove has been in hiding for the past 2 days after the Trump poll numbers came in on Saturday.
