A month ago I speculated that Fox might be abandoning Trump. Since then both the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post (both Murdoch properties) have decidedly distances themselves from the genius. As to Fox? Well, as the wicked witch noted while plotting to do in Dorothy, these things must be done slowly. But, as we learn from Crooks & Liars today, Bret Baier is stunned that the January 6th hearings have made Trump look horrific. It is going to be a slow process, as unlike GW, Trump will fight being consigned to the memory hole, but it looks like we’ll be seeing Fox slowly shift its line on Trump. Six months from now, they may have reprogrammed their viewers completely.
On a somewhat related subject, I’ve mentioned before that I’m somewhat addicted to the Palmer report, though I take what they write there with a grain of salt, the grain being particularly large when I’m being assured that some wished for outcome is just around the corner. Still, on some issues they have been more right than your standard pundit, and this post about Liz Cheney is, in my opinion, right on the money. For the most part she’s a despicable human being, which just goes to show how unbelievably despicable are the other Republicans. I give her credit for being against outright fascism, but then, she’s perfectly comfortable with giving legal cover to the vote suppressors who want to make sure that minority rule will continue in this country.
