Honestly, what can Fox even do to get themselves out of their death spiral? Their demo is 70+ and dying off by the day and young people don't give a gently caress about cable news. And of those that do they want to see coverage of the Trump dumpsterfire which Fox is absolutely forbidden from covering. Not to mention how they alienated their most promising talent in Kelly forcing her off the station. And their staples like O'Riley and Hannity are either gone or on the way out. They were all excited to spend the next 4 years bashing Hillary every hour of every day and had literally no fallback plan.

Trump has taught me a thing. I hate Liberals. I thought I was one, I had Dan Savage on my phone and listened for years. Then Trump taught me what happens when these people don't get their way. What happens when everyone doesn't agree in unison to everything they say. They loving suck, they whinge and literally cry and 'boycott' but its a joke because they're mostly low income earners so who really gives a gently caress about which lentils you're going to buy this week..

So yeah, I can't identify with these people. It's funny because I guess I was a 'default' Liberal, I didn't really think one way or the other but when I was asked it seemed like the Liberals made sense. But that's only on the surface, when push comes to shove I really don't like who they are and what they represent.

What the gently caress are you on about?

Quist isn't really a weak candidate. He's pretty much a dream candidate here. Local, progressive, gun supporter, every person in the state has personally met him or knows someone who has because he's performed at every State Fair.

I'm not sure if it'll be able to pivot. It won't be able to go full right wing nuts and that's where the most news interested part of the base is. The moderates watch other outlets. Fox will attempt to moderate itself and get RINO'd out of existence.

Fox Sports will do okay though.

They would have to groom new talent and somehow stop it from being a scene from Wolf of Wallstreet.

Then you'd have to go out and acquire as much of the online right wing presence as possible. A problem the right has that the left really doesn't is someone will always go more extreme, and denounce the people that don't follow. So unless Fox News could get that under control, they'd always be outflanked.

then you'd have to find a new message to try to peel people away from the middle.

I'm kind of curious what it looks like. Do they make a desperate bid to rebrand once Hannity is finally gone and all their replacements aren't doing poo poo for ratings? Do they just continue on the raging ball of hate course as a spite project for Murdoch? It seems implausible it'll just be sold off, but maybe that's only 'cause they've existed for so much of my formative years.

as an addendum to my previous posts, let me just emphasize that quist is a banjo-playing political newcomer with tax problems and a tendency to put his foot in his mouth at the worst possible moments. the democratic party has spent relatively little money on this race compared to its opponents. half of the president's administration have descended upon the state to campaign for their candidate.

somehow, despite all these advantages, strategists were freaking out about a potential upset before yesterday's body slam. people should not feel disappointed even if gianforte wins, because this district was not meant to be competitive.
