Your attention span is as short as our hemlines!
So here's this breaking story in the category of...
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
Jane Mayer lays out the details in the New Yorker of the close, intertwined relationship between Donald Trump's White House and the Fox "News" network.
Yes, we all know Li'l Donnie's notoriously short attention span is always glommed onto whatever nonsense Fox is spewing at any given moment.
And yes, we all know Fox News' undying and unceasing adulation of all things Donald Trump makes Li'l Donnie's over-stressed ticker go bada-bump-bump with glee.
Everybody say it with me:
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
But how deep and fervent is the mutual jerk off between Trump and Fox?
Trump Rates the Fox News Stars
Bret Baier who seems to be one of the few on Fox to remember to pretend to be a news person only rates a 6.
Sean Hannity rates a 10 but Trump's scale goes higher.
Steve Doocy of Fox & Friends is so effusive in his adoration of all things Trump that Li'l Donnie rates him at 12.
Sean Hannity: Shadow Chief of Staff. Sean Hannity speaks to Donald Trump virtually every night, after his show ends, at 10 p.m. White House advisers have taken to calling Hannity the Shadow Chief of Staff.
Hannity's Evil League of Evil
Other Fox pundits rate entree into the White House.
Pete Hegseth and Lou Dobbs are patched into Oval Office meetings by speakerphone to offer policy advice.
Rupert Murdoch and the Fucking Idiot in Chief
Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch described Trump as “a fucking idiot”. Murdoch regales friends with Trump’s latest inanities. The thing is Trump knows Murdoch makes fun of him behind his back but he apparently doesn't care. Trump gets to play President and Murdoch makes a gazillion dollars off of Fox News as a result.
We DON'T Report; You DON'T Decide
The Fox News/Donald Trump circle jerk goes beyond mutal adulation. Fox News reporter Diana Falzone back in 2016 was about to break the story that Trump had paid hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels to cover up an affair.
Then the story got spiked. Why? As her boss explained, "Rupert wants Donald Trump to win. So just let it go.”
But wait! There's more!
Time To Return the Favor
It seems that Donald Trump may have ordered Gary Cohn to pressure the Justice Department into blocking AT&T from purchasing Time Warner.
This would fuck with Time Warner which owns CNN which as the audacity not to suck Trump's tiny, tiny, tiny dick.
And this would help the competition for CNN, namely one Fox News.
By the way, that sort of interference is against the law.
Hey, Kids! It's Kimberly Guilfoyle
Hey, you all remember Kimberly Guilfoyle, right?
Yes, that Kimberly Guilfoyle!
Anyway, seems back in the day when she was a host on Fox, she farmed out her prep work a viewer from Georgia named David Townsend, who did not work for Fox News and had no connection to journalism. After sharing the day’s planned topics with Townsend, he would e-mail her suggested content.
The production assistants at Fox thought this was hilarious. “It was a joke among the production assistants — they were, like, ‘Wait till you hear this!’ She actually got research from him! It was the subject of hilarity.”
When Jane Mayer reached out to Townsend about his e-mails to Guilfoyle, he had this to say: “Mind your own business. I’m just a Fox fan. I’m a keyboard warrior. I’m a nobody. I’ve sent stuff to various people at Fox for years, and I don’t get a penny for it. I don’t know what tree you’re barking up but you better be careful.”
You better be careful?
Did that sound like a sort of threaty type of thing?
In case you're wondering how a incredibly stupid person like Trump can cling to power, it's a lot easier when Li'l Donnie has an entire media operation working overtime with incredible intensity to be his propaganda operation.
Everybody say it with me one more time:
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
"WELL, DUH!!!!!"
