Fox News drowned in its own self-made swamp during its mega-hyped GOP primary debate last night, and there’s no coming back for the beleaguered news outlet or the RINOs and political opportunists presented on their snazzy stage.
Fox News has been out of touch with average Americans—many of whom used to be their viewers—ever since they called the 2020 Election for Joe Biden when folk were still out voting.
Unmasked and ready to roll, Fox was back last night, this time with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum rather than Chris Wallace doing what Fox News does best—presenting full-scale ENTERTAINMENT—NOT NEWS during a crucial Election that will decide the fate of the nation.
Problem is that folk who make up the American electorate, arguably living under the worst president in American history— that Fox News helped to ‘elect—are not looking for Entertainment but for SURVIVAL .
Going into the debate, Donald Trump was 50-60 points ahead of every failing GOP candidate on the Fox stage.
As Canada Free Press and a few other independent news outlets predicted, far more viewers tuned into the Tucker-Trump interview—with some 167.8 million—and still growing—views.(As of posting)
Come on Fox, show us YOUR numbers!
One of those predictive independent outlets mentioned above, Conservative Tree House got it right: 'Perfect – Everything in the First Loser Fox News Debate Summarized in One Singular Moment – Clowns to the Left, Jokers to the Right' (Conservative Tree House, Aug. 23, 2023)
“There’s no reason to chase down soundbites of Adderall Ron taking Casey’s meds again and nodding wide-eyed like a bobblehead going over a railroad track, or Chris Christie taking coordinated payments from the corporations to hit Trump, or wind-testing Nikki looking to formulate her positions based on audience cheers and jeers, or Mike Pence waxing philosophically about distractions to his swamp defense, or any of the other myriad of transparently obvious motives and intentions of the corporate consulting class."
“A person really only needs to watch this one segment to see all of the machinations from Fox News in alignment with the actors on stage. (Conservative Tree House)
“Starting with the ever-insufferable Martha MacCallum teeing up the pretense with the oft familiar Bret Baier raise your hand question. There is so much in this segment, you guys -super smart and full of intellectual honesty- just write about it in the comment section, and I will enjoy a non-pretending review.
“Full credit to Ramaswamy for his non pretense, and the brilliant stare at Adderall Ron as he awaits the poll testing followers. Ramaswamy leads, then the South Carolina coalition join, then Bergum goes limp up, then Ron looks over and realizes he better join, which triggers Pence and finally Krispy. It’s all perfect. All of it. Perfect in the way it encapsulates the entire field of followers. Just perfect.
“Additionally, I cannot stop laughing at the human cabbage patch doll, Bret Baier, needing to turn around to the audience to protect Krispy from the jeers. Too much funny – all of it.”

Even funnier was how Sundance pointed out:
“Crushing the GOPe Faux News debate in viewership, Tucker Carlson interviewed President Trump. Broadcast last night at the same time as the first loser debate in Wisconsin. {Direct Rumble Link} – WATCH:Donald Trump to Tucker on Kamala Harris: “She speaks in rhyme. It's weird... Well, the way she talks: 'The bus will go here and then the bus will go there! Because that's what busses do!'”
“So good.”
In a world where mostly those who ignored the barriers in Maui, Hawaii weren’t burned to death; where the ongoing corruption of the Biden family continues to be vastly ignored by both mainstream and social media; where world ‘leaders’, including Biden are bringing back COVID Pandemic, Part 2; where the masses struggle between paying high energy and grocery bills; with the Klaus Schwab-led World Economic Forum (WEF) ready to swallow the world whole with little or no resistance from authorities holding office, America is heading off a dangerous cliff.
The last thing society needs are the eight candidates who gathered for the Fox-hosted GOP debate in Milwaukee last night.
And just to think that they did it for the same reason that Faux News hosted the shameful event—for cheap publicity.
Meanwhile, the Truth is that during their attempted fervid Take-Down-Trump witch-hunt, Fox News has yet to realize that the downtrodden masses, assailed from all sides, are no longer looking for non-News ENTERTAINMENT—they’re looking for SURVIVAL.
