The news was so slow in fact that even Fox News completely ignored Trump&#8217;s stump speech in Iowa this morning. While both CNN and MSNBC aired significant portions of The Donald live, Fox aired none of it. What do you suppose they were trying to hide? It really says something when CNN and MSNBC are more interested in exposing people to Trump&#8217;s blathering than Fox is.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it has something to do with the rift between Fox News CEO Roger Ailes and his boss Rupert Murdoch who was <a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/daily\/intelligencer\/2015\/07\/on-trump-murdoch-has-lost-control-of-ailes-fox.html\" target=\"_blank\">reported to have told Ailes<\/a> to <em>&#8220;back off the Trump coverage.&#8221;<\/em> Murdoch himself <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rupertmurdoch\/status\/622558129742573568\" target=\"_blank\">posed a question in a tweet<\/a> last week asking&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When is Donald Trump going to stop embarrassing his friends, let alone the whole country?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>An excellent question. Especially coming from the potentate of Fox News. Of course the answer is <em>&#8220;Never!&#8221;<\/em> Trump has no ability, much less intention, of ceasing to embarrass himself, his party, or the country that he calls a <em>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=28533\" target=\"_blank\">Hell Hole<\/a>.&#8221;<\/em> So without further ado, here is Lewis Black throwing his full support behind Trump.
