Another morning, another flurry of dishonest reporting by Fox News and their “Curvy Couch”<\/em> potatoes at Fox and Friends. While pretending to read the newspapers spread out on the coffee table, co-host Steve Doocy made a fake discovery. He held the paper so that the cameras got a good look at an advertisement on the back page. What viewers saw was a full page ad touting Fox and Friends.<\/p>\n

\"Fox
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

The ad was obviously paid for by Fox News to promote the network and the program. It featured a quote attributed to the New York Times saying that Fox and Friends is “the most powerful TV show in America.”<\/em> Doocy’s faux surprise was echoed by his co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade. They were pretending to be excited by the praise from an unexpected source:<\/p>\n

Doocy:<\/strong> This program, the program you’re watching, according to the New York Times, is the most powerful TV show in America.
\nEarhardt:<\/strong> You know why Steve? Because we have the best viewers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Earhardt would have been more correct if she had said “because we have the best <\/em>viewer<\/strong>.”<\/em> Because the only person in their audience that they play to is Donald Trump. That point was confirmed when that viewer proudly tweeted the same message Doocy was boasting about:<\/p>\n

Wow, the Failing @nytimes<\/a> said about @foxandfriends<\/a> "….the most powerful T.V. show in America."<\/p>\n
