“It’s Management Bedlam”: Madness at Fox News as Trump Faces Impeachment
- Thread starter Shard Shinjuku
- Start date
I do if their ratings manage to somehow tank. Not sure about the likelihood of that though.
They already have the votes for impeachment in the house, it's the removal that's the unlikely vote to occur in the senate.
But like you said even if impeachment doesn't go all the way to the trial and vote steps it SERIOUSLY is going to hamper his reelection efforts. It's a win either way really.
He's the dumbass for thinking they'd be loyal to him, they're loyal to any incumbent GOP asshole.
If Fox outright turns on him lol, the heat he'd be feeling. As it is he's got GOP rivals calling him out for committing treason.
Not sure ol' agent orange can survive this onslaught.
When cons are left running Mike Pence for prez in 2020 I'm sure the machine will talk shit about trump
Donald J Trump, the 45th President of the United States of America, is going to be impeached.
Yeah. People forget this. When Fox briefly feuded with Trump, their audience turned on them hard. Ever since then, Trump's had Fox by the short hairs.
There's zero chance that Fox turns on Trump before their viewers do, which will be never. It's a nice fantasy, but it's about as likely as oil companies stopping drilling before the wells are all dry.
They will never "turn on him" because their viewers would lose it. At best they'll just act like this is something pretty bad but doesn't reach impeachment threshold and everyone is just overreacting.
"This massive thing happened, and no one knows how to cover it."
I'm sure Russia will give them some suggestions.

Fox shit on Trump for a majority of the primary and he was still unstoppable. Do people actually not remember this?
It's not going to be fucking Fox News that takes down Trump.

Very true. I'm amazed a democracy still allows Fox News to exist.
Facts. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Ever heard of the USFL? It was the trump football league.
There's an ESPN 30 for 30 about it. Spoiler: Trump's business acumen killed the league.
Democrats already have the votes to impeach. It's virtually guaranteed he's impeached right now.
That will never, ever happen. Rush will be on his side until the bitter end.
Not sure why people think Fox would never turn on him. It's a company, if its investors, board and owners realized they could make bank by celebrating a giraffe wearing a necktie, they'd drop Trump so quick he'd go into cardiac arrest. They prop him up to millions and they can just as easily do it to someone who isn't constantly embroiled in scandals who is good for their bottom line.
Do I think this is happening right now, or very soon - probably not. But if they get the sense their fortunes lay elsewhere, most definitely. Trump needs to start kissing their ass if he has any self preservation instincts.

Turning on Trump would be like turning on Jesus or guns. They've tried it before and the result was that their viewership turned on them because Trump's fucking God to them now. Either these assholes are going to go ride with him until the end or they're going to try their best to ignore everything going on and just become a 24/7 loop of car crash footage.
I would love to see Fox News Red Wedding the shit out of Trump, but I don't think it'll happen.
Picturing Trump's face as his precious Fox and Friends host-bots shit on him would bring me enough joy to keep me alive for a hundred years.

If Fox News turns on him I wonder how my dad and stepmom will spin that. When almost everyone admitted bush jr was a bad president they wanted him out because he looked bad. Not cause he was bad but because his undeserved reputation was bringing the gop down.
sadly as brainwashed as they are by Fox the whole reason they are is it tells them what they want to hear (that the Republican Party is the right party and the democrats will kill our economy). If Fox stops doing that I don't see my parents turning on trump unless the gop does, I see them turning on Fox. To be fair if the GOP turns on trump I feel they'll feel safe to turn on him too. But it won't be because of Fox they turn on him. And I could see them turning against the gop too but I think they are more die hard republicans than trump supporters (though I think that's just as bad. Trump is a symptom of the GOP).

Any time the live news channels don't want to cover something they go to taste tests, I fucking swear.
They weren't with him from the start. They had to pivot after he won. Only Hannity was a full-throated Trump supporter and he caught a lot of flack from the network over it.
The second the GOP has a plan B and rolls out their plans to Fox News, they'll drop Trump in a second.
No chance he'd turn on Trump this quickly. For any chance whatsoever he'd still need the existing base, cause no one else is going to vote Pence.
He'd pull a full, "Continue to Make America Great" campaign.
I watched Fox this morning. I never seen them going harder at defending Trump and the party (while finding a way to bring up Obama and Biden) than they did today
I don't disagree with you, but I did want to say: Fox is a news outlet, it's not the GOP (technically); scandals ARE good for their bottom line.
This is liberal fanfiction. Fox will never fucking ever support impeachment of Trump. Trump is the strongman the GOP base wanted for years.
I don't know what's going to happen in the future but it's not like Fox News as it exists has existed since the beginning of time. I don't think they're going to be like stanning Trump in 3229.
Now I think the trouble they face is not their anchors/employees dedication to Trump personally, they don't really give a fuck in reality(except maybe Hannity)...it's that their base is so dedicated to Trump, that even the ones that watch Fox News daily or multiple times a week might choose Trump over FN if FN turns on him.
It's not like we're gonna wake up one day and they're suddenly going to be Democracy Now, but if they think the strategic play is to drop Trump at some point, they will drop him.

Hahahaha Tucker calling himself non-partisan is the biggest joke of all
"Among the powerful voices advising Lachlan that Fox should decisively break with the president is former House speaker Paul Ryan, who joined the Fox board in March. "Paul is embarrassed about Trump and now he has the power to do something about it," an executive who's spoken with Ryan told me."
Something's probably wrong when you feel like you have more power as a Fox News executive board member than as Speaker of the House.
Even if and when Fox drops agent orange, we owe it as our duty as Americans to shun and mock these people until the fall back into whichever hell they emerged from
I wonder where Trump's grave will be. Im saving for a plane ticket and Ive taken dance lessons.
I legitimately don't understand why this would be that big a deal for them. Just keep lying and denying at every turn. It's not that hard. They've got a built-in audience who believes anything they say and ignores any logic thrown into the situation already.
