The Fox and the hen house

"Sorry Fox. I am trying to feel sorry for you right now. But I am reminded of that old saying. You can't fix stupid. And what you did this past week, was way beyond stupid." 

We sure have seen some dumb things as of late. One at Anheuser-Busch. The other(s) were at Fox News. At Budweiser, some glassy eyed liberal who had been schooled in Woke economics (and somehow got into management), convinced upper management that having a transvestite as the spokesperson for Bud Lite would be a smart thing to do. The rest of the story is now history. Budweiser lost a boatload of customers and money. But who cares? Woke is still the name of the game!

But what happening in the world of beer, was NOTHING compared to what happened at Fox News. Ever since BlackRock took Fox on as a client, Fox became vulnerable to the wacky world of woke. And without Roger Ailes at the helm anymore, and the two Murdock kids running Fox News right now, Fox News was ripe for the picking. 

First came Dan Bongino. A very popular weekend host. That sent shockwaves throughout the conservative community. But that was only the tremor before the earthquake. Tucker Carlson. The person with the highest rated show. Gone. Just like that. Why in the world would Fox let two superstars like Bongino and Carlson go? Woke. Murdock's woke kids did it. BlackRock and ESG were the catalyst. The once stalwart beacon of conservative news, Fox News became vulnerable to leftism attack. 

Where does that leave Fox? According to Brian Kilmeade, who was filling Tucker's slot last night, Fox is looking for a replacement host. Good luck on that one! Tucker and Bongino will end up working somewhere else, and guess what? They will take many of their fans with them. Fox will have to fill the slot with a squish, or continue to have rotating hosts. No conservative in his or her right mind would walk into that booby trap right now. 

BTW - Don Lemon also got the axe yesterday. But who cares? He should have been gone a long time ago. Unlike Carlson and Bongino, Lemon was indeed a lemon. Whereas Carlson and Bongino will land on their feet somewhere else, if MSNBC is full up, Lemon will probably end up on the shelf. Boo-hoo to that one!

Sorry Fox. I am trying to feel sorry for you right now. But I am reminded of that old saying. You can't fix stupid. And what you did this past week, was way beyond stupid.
