No. 302.1: EXTRA! Ho-hum


     You could measure the decline of Fox News by the drop in the quality of guests waiting in the green room. A year and a half ago, you might have heard George Will discussing policy with a senator while a former Cabinet member listened in. Today, you would meet a Republican commissar with a steakhouse waistline and an eager young woman wearing too little fabric and too much makeup, immersed in memorizing her talking points.
     This wasn’t a case of the rats leaving a sinking ship. The best sailors were driven overboard by the rodents.
WaPo: Why I left Fox News (Paywall)

That FOX “News”
is not NEWS
is NOT news
because
FOX “News”
is not news
and never was.
FOX “News”
fakes “news”,
that's what does.
