Does it address the lying?

Fox News has taken a leaf from RT with it's rhetoric about the "MSM" and is largely loyal to the president. See the picture here?

However, unlike RT which is a mix of rolling news and docs, it is largely 'opinion tv' with time allocated to rolling news cut. The 5am spin off of Fox and Friends is news skewed, then the main show arrives and it's the three presenters spouting off their opinions.

Despite the departure of Roger Ailes, there is still an underlying sexism on-air with female presenters in glamorous outfits even on the early shift. Their female skewed opinion show Outnumbered even has 'a lucky guy' who contributes to the show, which is largely Republican propaganda.

However, it appears their 50+ male skewed conservative audience still like the output, so it's going to be hard for Fox to change, even if they complain when a 'liberal' presenter or expert is a guest.

The biggest issue Fox News will face is that - despite its endless rhetoric against the MSM - it's going to quickly become the face of the establishment. What we're now witnessing is the left/liberal/young viewing themselves as the ignored opposition, with Trump and his clique (including Fox) now in charge. The result? Fox is having to spend most of its time defending Trump on-air or using distraction tactics with stories that are frankly banal.

Trump's victory was a coup for MSNBC and CNN. Fox will have to change or will be embarrassed into insignificance. Rather like the orange-faced incompetent it so dearly admires.

UGH..... Just nasty. Just this morning OReilly mocked a Black Congresswomans hair. But its not the first time FNC has engaged in blatant racism and sexism.

How is O'Reilly still on this channel? Paid off lawsuits to numerous former female employees of the network and yet he was on their Outnumbered show at lunchtime with four women presenters spouting the usual rhetoric.

Welcome to the world of Murdoch, where terrible conduct which would usually be career-ending instead is deflected and treated as "liberal outrage" or "PC gone mad".

Bill sounds charming. He dragged his wife down the stairs by her neck and yet continues to present on the channel. His own children don't want to live with him.

Fox New truly is the skidmark of broadcasting and I pity its idiot viewers who lack the ability to see through the lies and make their own political decisions rather than have them made for them.

Not to mention the way he treats his colleagues. Remember the whole 'do it live' incident on Inside Edition?

Well I don't have the link handy but apparently Sean Hannity pulled a gun out on a Fox News contributor after a debate.
