We’re all really, really stupid.  At least that’s what Fox News appears to think.  Why else would they keep forcing Donald Trump on us?

Trump knows damn well he’s not going to run for President, and so does Fox.  I guarantee you Roger Ailes considers the odds of a Trump candidacy to be prohibitive.  And, in the very off chance he did decide to throw his hat in the ring, do caricatures automatically warrant extensive and serious coverage?

C’mon Fox; you’re supposed to be better than this.

Apparently, their perception of what drives ratings is now more important than honest analysis.  It’s offensive to be played for a fool.  I feel like a Democrat.

Don’t get me wrong, Fox has always been about the ratings, but the stories they’ve pushed and the angles they’ve pursued have typically had a certain authenticity.  Sure, they were frequently overdone and/or overhyped, and maybe even cherry picked, but at least they seemed rooted in the truth.
 

Let’s be honest; FNC is rarely balanced (hard to deny the slant); however, it has consistently been fair.  I’m ok with that...as long as the facts are well-supported and the opinions honest.

But now it’s time to call bullshit.  I’m not putting up with the Trump nonsense any longer (and haven’t been for a while).  For the past few weeks, as soon as Trump appears, or his “possible” candidacy is mentioned, I change the channel and keep it changed for the remainder of the day.

Yeah, I know; I’m not exactly lighting myself on fire in the town square, but some protests have humble beginnings.  Hopefully it will catch on.  If you agree, feel free to pass this along.

Fox, right now you’re on probation.

Get your act together, or…

You’re fired!
