In their desperate race for ratings, CNN and Fox News are now singing from the same Choir Book. Their off-key rendition singing of “do, ray, me”, never sounded so Big “Boo!” ”Boo!”-inspiring.
“Liberal CNN reporter Jim Acosta pledged last month that the network would be as tough on the Biden administration as on the Trump administration, while simultaneously complimenting the new White House for lowering the political temperature. (Fox News, March 9, 2021)
The new White House lowering the political temperature”?!"Since the ending of Donald Trump’s term as president," the AFC's Tiara James wrote in a story about Acosta's remarks, "Acosta mentioned that it’s as if the volume’s been turned down and said he believes everybody wanted a break from the toxicity of the past administration – which is essentially what the U.S. is getting with the Biden Administration.” "Even though tensions in White House briefings have been alleviated, Acosta made sure to say, "We’ll be just as tough on the Biden Administration as we were on the Trump Administration.’"That’s the “do, ray”. Here’s the “me”: “Fox’s CEO Lachlan Murdoch really thinks his viewers are a bunch of morons. (Wayne Dupree, March 5, 2021)
“He’s cooked up a harebrained scheme where Fox News will become the “MSNBC” and “CNN” of the Biden Resistance. "Oh great, so more fake news?”That Fox News has been belting out the same song as CNN over the past year has left the rest of us singing the blues.
“Fox News is the GOP “establishment” network. (Wayne Dupree) “They’re not America First – they’re GOP globalists – and they follow the agenda of Paul Ryan (he’s on the board) and Mitch McConnell. “So, it only stands to reason that Fox News – just like the GOP – is completely out of touch with their base. “And the best example of that is their goofy new “scheme” they’ve cooked up to win back viewers. “Fox’s CEO Lachlan Murdoch really thinks his viewers are a bunch of morons. “Lachlan thinks Trump supporters are so stupid that they’ll forget all the backstabbing moves and fake polls, and the fact that Fox helped cancel our votes and come crawling back if they pretend to be the “loyal opposition” to Biden…give me a break.

“All they want are ratings and money and now that they’re losing both they’ll say and do just about anything anti-Biden, but the pro-Trump stuff will be kept to a very low whisper. From Hot AirUh huh.“Fox News Channel CEO Lachlan Murdoch is pledging that the network will be Biden’s “loyal opposition”. He candidly admitted that the focus of opposition to the new administration will boost the cable news network’s ratings. “Murdoch addressed a Morgan Stanley conference on Thursday and said the network will hold President Biden accountable. Murdoch hopes that by using the model of MSNBC and its non-stop opposition to everything during the Trump administration, Fox will lure back viewers who have left for more conservative news outlets. He describes it as the network’s “job”. “The main beneficiary of the Trump administration from a ratings point of view was MSNBC … and that’s because they were the loyal opposition,” Murdoch said of the rival cable network. “That’s what our job is now with the Biden administration, and you’ll see our ratings really improve from here.”
“Fox took a hit in the rating war between competing news networks after the November presidential election. Many Trump loyalists criticized the move by Fox’s political team to put Arizona results in the Biden column as premature. Almost immediately, the call went out for the loyalists to switch over to either Newsmax or OAN, both very Trump-friendly cable news networks. Trump himself suggested that his supporters make the switch in their news viewing habits. (Wayne Dupree)
“What Fox News is doing right now is perfectly in-line with that outdated and out-of-touch GOP thinking “They don’t have respect for their loyal viewers at all, and they think we’re all one-dimensional dummies. “Please, don’t prove them right by watching Fox News.”Meanwhile, La-La Lachlan, not only have we heard that song before, we’ve heard it all too often. Says Missy Crane, WayneDupree:
“If you want to show Fox News who’s boss here’s what you can do:Missy Crane is right because that’s the only way to keep Fox News singing off-key in a completely empty auditorium.If you’re looking for broadcast alternatives, go with OANN or Newsmax. “If we follow these five steps, we will send a very clear and very powerful message to these traitors and to Paul Ryan, that they can’t use us for our ratings and loyalty, and then sail us down the river later. “At this point, there’s no excuse to be supporting and paying the enemy to literally destroy everything we’ve worked for. It’s insane. Cut Fox News out of your life.”
