Is there a new place for a real conservative network again... now that Fox News has gone the way of CNN and MSNBC?
Apparently the buzz is that the Newmax channel has been gaining steam, going from an afterthought to approaching a million viewers at certain times. Meanwhile the former number one Cable News Channel has been struggling to keep up with CNN and MSNBC in the post election coverage. Only the prime time personalities are still performing at Fox News. If Fox were to somehow lose Carlson, Hannity, etc... they might cease to become a relevant news station.
The biggest problem is that Fox News will never appeal to Democrats no matter what they do. The distrust of that network by liberals is over the top. They will never completely trust that network and as long as it keeps "any" conservatives around, that will remain unchanged. Not even sure that they would trust it then.
The reality is that there was very little support for the two liberal cable news channels as it was. Add a third and you are simply attempting to divide that smallish demographic even more. Meanwhile, conservatives will continue to search for an alternative to the liberal bias of cable news, now that it appears that Fox News is no longer interested in being that network.

I love this. So nice to see conservatives at each others' throats.
Just because Fox tried at last to be a little more truthful.
It's not conservatives at each other's throats. That is the point. Fox is no longer what it once was when Roger Wiles ran things. And their ratings are now reflecting it.
yep.
except for tucker, fox is dead to me.
how many Xinn's and MSDNC's do we need?
Just because Fox tried at last to be a little more truthful.
truthful?
by not calling FL for Trump with 97% of the votes in? by calling AZ for slow joe with less than 1% of the votes in?
by completely fucking blowing their HOR call?
by having an 0linsky sycophant running their "decision desk"(LOL)?
yeah, that's it pederast.
Conservatives can't stand honest objective journalism.

Trump’s Mood Is Bleak
9:00 am
New York Times:
“Mr. Trump has spent his days toggling between his White House residence and the Oval Office, watching television coverage about the final weeks of his presidency. His mood is often bleak, advisers say, though he is not raising his voice in anger, despite the impression left by his tweets, which are often in capital letters.
“But the work of government has been reduced to something of a sideshow for the president.”
Washington Post:
“President Trump spent the day as he has most others this week — sequestered from public view, tweeting grievances, falsehoods and misinformation about the election results and about Fox News’s coverage of him.”

Trump Rebuffs Biden Transition Team
8:58 am
“President Trump’s refusal to allow President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his transition staff access to government offices, secure communications and classified briefings prompted growing warnings on Thursday, including from Republicans, that keeping Mr. Biden in the dark potentially endangers the country,” the New York Times reports.
“On Capitol Hill, several Senate Republicans insisted that Mr. Biden should at least be given access to the President’s Daily Brief, the compendium of the nation’s most closely guarded intelligence secrets and assessments of threats like terrorist plots and cyberattack vulnerabilities. Their call amounted to an acknowledgment that Mr. Biden would be declared the victor in the election.”
Trump Will Soon Face Greater Risk of Prosecution
8:56 am
“President Trump lost more than an election last week. When he leaves the White House in January, he will also lose the constitutional protection from prosecution afforded to a sitting president,” the New York Times reports.
“After Jan. 20, Mr. Trump, who has refused to concede and is fighting to hold onto his office, will be more vulnerable than ever to a pending grand jury investigation by the Manhattan district attorney into the president’s family business and its practices, as well as his taxes.”

Well, as he has told us, he has done nothing wrong, so he shouldn't worry.

The people who used to swear by Fox News are saying,
You mean... you mean all those years they were lying to us?
You mean Fox News has NOT tired to be 'fair and balanced' about Trump until NOW?
@realdonaldtrump
Must see @seanhannity takedown of the horrible, inaccurate and anything but secure Dominion Voting System which is used in States where tens of thousands of votes were stolen from us and given to Biden. Likewise, the Great @LouDobbs has a confirming and powerful piece!
CH is applying for a job for the lame duck President network. He's kissing his ass off every day!

Good news for the next President
U.S. stocks moved higher on Friday morning as investors bet again on stocks that would benefit from a potential effective vaccine and economic recovery next year.

“We’re moving forward here at the White House under the assumption that there will be a second Trump term… We think he won that election, and any speculation about what Joe Biden might do I think is moot at this point.”
— White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, interviewed on Fox Business.
Yeah? Well, consider this:
Law Firm Stops Representing Trump In Pennsylvania

Just because Fox tried at last to be a little more truthful.
Having the decision desk make a call that Democrats would pick up at least five seats in the house at close of East Coast polls, calling Arizona for Biden with 650,000 votes left (in a contest that is within 0.3%) before calling Florida for Trump (who won by about 350,000 votes)...
Is what is considered "truthful" for Democrats.
Because Democrats no longer align the "truth" with "facts".
It is becoming ever more patriotic to oppose Trump.

Before the lame duck President was elected by a minority popular vote has become a cultist blog!
Mr. Obama has a solid record as an author. He developed his narrative voice while writing the 1995 memoir “Dreams from My Father,” a reflection on his life as the son of a Black African father and a white American mother. “He was a writer before he was a president,” said David Litt, a former speech writer for President Obama. “He understands the value of story.”
Mr. Obama got stalled when that book was two-thirds done and his publisher dropped him, but a Penguin Random House imprint picked it up for $40,000. “We saw a man who once he got the grip was very much in control of the process,” said Peter Osnos, who acquired and published “Dreams from My Father.” That book has sold more than 3.3 million copies in all formats in the U.S. and Canada.
Mr. Obama worked on his next book, “The Audacity of Hope,” while a senator in Washington. Many nights, after a typical dinner of salmon, broccoli and brown rice, Mr. Obama sat down to write around 9:30 p.m. and kept going into the early morning, said David Katz, a former Senate aide.
Presidential memoirs are bound to be bestsellers, but not all are a hit with critics. Some reviewers faulted Ronald Reagan’s ghostwritten memoir, “An American Life,” for capturing too little of his character.
“Barack really is a writer,” said Mr. Osnos. “The problem for so many political figures is they want a book, but they don’t know how to write.”
Write to Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg at jeffrey.trachtenberg@wsj.com and Ellen Gamerman at ellen.gamerman@wsj.com
I have pre ordered the book.
Trump has written his own book.
The Art of the Deal was ghostwritten
Former President Barack Obama said it was "disappointing" to see Republicans supporting President Trump's baseless claims that the election was rigged.
"They obviously didn't think there was any fraud going on because they didn't say anything about it for the first two days," he told Gayle King for "CBS Sunday Morning." "But there's damage to this because what happens is that the peaceful transfer of power, the notion that any of us who attain an elected office, whether it's dogcatcher or president, are servants of the people. It's a temporary job."
If the Republicans don't break away from Donald Trump, the party will eventually be replaced with a true conservative party, not a cult.

then leave alky. find somewhere else to go within the confines of your nursing home.
go tweet to your 'beautiful pomeranian ex-bride' or something.
LOL.
Conservative viewers started abandoning Fox News because Chris Wallace started insisting on truthfulness.
1) He started refusing in his reporting and in interviews to allow Trump to get away with out and out lying.
2) During the first Trump-Biden debate, He TRIED to keep the President from acting like a third grade bully, constantly interrupting even during the Vice President's two minute sessions that were supposed to have no interruptions.
3) He continues to insist that Fox News should not serve as a mere propaganda arm for the GOP.
King Trump doesn't have the army!
Speaking at Fort Belvoir in Virginia on Veterans Day, the top general reiterated that servicemembers did not take an oath to any individual person, religion, country or tribe as he opened the new National Museum of the United States Army.
Delivering his remarks on Wednesday, Milley said: "We are unique among armies, we are unique among militaries. We do not take an oath to a king or queen, or tyrant or dictator, we do not take an oath to an individual. No, we do not take an oath to a country, a tribe or a religion.

rrb will call him a never Trumper.
Karl Rove, the architect of President George W. Bush’s presidency and an informal adviser to Mr. Trump, wrote in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that “closing out this election will be a hard but necessary step toward restoring some unity and political equilibrium.”
He added that after Mr. Trump’s “days in court are over, the president should do his part to unite the country by leading a peaceful transition and letting grievances go.”
Real Republicans aren't afraid of the lame duck President anymore.. But they are very rare.

130 Secret Service Officers Infected or Quarantined
10:35 am
More than 130 Secret Service officers who help protect the White House and the president when he travels have recently been ordered to isolate or quarantine because they tested positive for the coronavirus or had close contact with infected co-workers,” the Washington Post reports.
“The spread of the coronavirus — which has sidelined roughly 10 percent of the agency’s core security team — is believed to be partly linked to a series of campaign rallies that President Trump held in the weeks before the Nov. 3 election, according to the people, who, like others interviewed for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the situation.”
Speak out, and YOU'RE FIRED!
Rove isn't a 'never Trumper' alky. Rove is what WFB Jr. used to refer to as a 'well fed Republican.'
with trump at the head of the GOP, Rove's schtick loses value. Rove's heyday was when the GOP was a valet for democrats. GOP gains were minimal, the donks ran the show, and Rove could scribble his words of wisdom on his lil whiteboard. with Trump gone things return to "normal" as much as Rove considers normal. and he has standing again.
truth is, Rove hasn't mattered since W left office.

How Trump Faced a Deadly Crisis and Looked Away 11:59 am
Philip Bump:
“If the plan, however dubious, was to allow the virus to spread while offsetting the worst effects, when can we expect that offsetting to take place? The situation now is akin to a fire chief assuring people that the best approach to fires breaking out in an apartment complex is to let the fires burn themselves out while he provides them with fire extinguishers. And then not providing the fire extinguishers. And then spending most of his time tweeting about how he actually won the vote for best fire chief.
“It’s a grim, grim moment, which is poised to get worse over the short term. Even if the number of deaths is kept down during the winter — a big if — there are long-term health risks posed by even nonfatal infections. ICUs choked with coronavirus patients also mean ICUs unable to handle other serious illnesses or injuries. What’s more, the idea that allowing the virus to spread to build immunity depends on an unproven assumption that reinfections can’t occur over a relatively short period of time.
“The most remarkable part of all of this is that a vaccine does appear to be close. It’s a moment, then, when we might soon achieve herd immunity the safe way, by inoculating people against the virus without their becoming sick. It’s a moment in which the president and his team could ask for a bit more patience and constraint with light glimmering at the end of the tunnel. Instead, we’re being told to keep our foot on the accelerator and try to live our lives as normal, as though that’s really possible anyway.”
The Final Gasp of Donald Trump’s Presidency
11:11 am
Olivia Nuzzi has a great description of one of her sources:
“This person, who speaks to the president often — or, more accurately, who listens and says uh-huh as the president speaks — said that Trump is not just done for, but done.
Said the person: “He wants to lose. He’s out of money. He worries about being arrested. He worried about being assassinated. It hasn’t been a great experience for him. He likes showing people around the White House, but the actual day-to-day business of being president? It’s been pretty unpleasant for him.”
North Dakota Hospitals Hit Capacity

Should Twitter ban Trump,??
There is an argument to be made that none of this really matters: That Trump is too large a presence and too magnetic a personality to ever disappear; that you can never truly deplatform a former president. When Twitter banned Jones in 2018—a move that dramatically limited his reach—the radio host had less than a million followers. His audience was tiny compared to Trump’s. No person as well-known or influential as Trump has ever been banned, so there’s no saying for sure what downstream effects a ban would have.
But we’ve had four years to see what the effects of not banning him are. If Trump is allowed to stay on Twitter, his power over the discourse will not fade away after he leaves office. He has gained more than 60 million followers throughout this presidency, and losing reelection has not cost him one iota of social-media stardom; he’s gained another 1.5 million followers since Election Day. There’s no reason to think he won’t use this enormous audience to continue endangering people’s lives with falsehoods—a recent study found that Trump and 20 of his high-profile supporters were the source of 20 percent of retweets of election misinformation, and another found that Trump himself was “the largest driver” of coronavirus misinformation.
Trump can continue to push both of those narratives even out of office, and they can continue to take a toll on the American people. Kate Starbird, a researcher at the University of Washington who has studied the spread of disinformation, told me she didn’t think Twitter would deactivate Trump’s account and didn’t have an opinion on whether it should, but that it would absolutely have a huge impact if it did. “Donald Trump has an effect on the ecosystem of Twitter that is massive,” she said. She demonstrated with an anecdote. The systems that she uses to do her research can collect 50 tweets a second. Usually that’s fine. But when her team was collecting data on Twitter mentions of hydroxychloroquine in the spring, it was impossible to keep up. As soon as Trump entered the conversation, 50 tweets a second became only a tiny percentage of the data.
“He has a hugely outsized impact on the discourse,” she told me. For as long as Trump keeps his account on Twitter, reality will be skewed. The longer he stays there, the harder it will be to see.
