      Did it ever stop being that?

      The difference will be that they’ll put more effort into this. More “Wow. There is a lot to unpack there. Here is what The President is teaching us when he says this”. Spin it as 4D chess where lowly peasants can’t truly understand the wisdom.

        Murdoch apparently hated Trump, and detested the fact that the anchors were leaning into Trumpism for the ratings, even though he didn’t really do too much about it (and what he did was too little, too late). But now that Murdoch has stepped down as company head, I guess the progression will depend heavily on the new guy who I know literally nothing about, but I’m not hopeful.

          If the old guy hated trump but still had corporate suck him off, why would “the new guy” matter at all?

          The fox news audience wants trump. So they get trump. fox will try to lower their liability but they aren’t going to give up even more market share to oan and the like.
