Your point is that Fox is still better than other networks, perhaps true. On this topic, Rush was best by far, spending about one hour on topic and was on the air before Fox with the truth about this media sideshow.
After Rush explained in detail, Fox began to allow that there might be some wiggle room for Trump.
I still contend that Trump (with management consent) is doing what they can for establishment GOP and in essence trying to scuttle Trump. Not totally sure why this move, it seems to me to be self defeating — since I do not believe this effort will change the outcome — and then I believe Fox will wish they had been nicer to the Donald.
I have on FOX while I work which is around 12 hours a day. I don’t believe they are trying to scuttle Trump at all. I get the impression that they are trying to be fair to the candidates. I do know pretty much who the pundits are favoring due to their slant on things, only a few of which are pro-GOP-E. Quite a few are pro-Trump. I honestly cannot understand where you get the idea that the network is trying to steer the election to the GOP-E.
