Their rendition of <em>&#8220;Before He Tweets&#8221;<\/em> was a lighthearted mockery of Donald Trump and his fetish with Twitter (video below).<\/p>\n<p>So guess what? The <em>&#8220;Curvy Couch&#8221;<\/em> potatoes at Fox and Friends were bitterly distraught at the prospect of having lost country music to the evil liberals and anti-Trump media. They lamented over the unspeakable act of disrespectfully taunting their Dear Leader with a comical farce. The whine-fest began with a plaintive moan from co-host Steve Doocy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Remember the olden days when football wasn&#8217;t political, and so many things weren&#8217;t political? Well now, as it turns out, the CMAs have gotten very political.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Brian Kilmeade made the painful observation that maybe <em>&#8220;new country is a lot less conservative than old country.&#8221;<\/em> And Ainsley Earhardt wondered <em>&#8220;Where&#8217;s Dolly? Where&#8217;s Garth Brooks? They don&#8217;t get political.&#8221;<\/em> Then she added wistfully <em>&#8220;Really? It&#8217;s hitting country music now? Isn&#8217;t country music supposed to be conservative?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>These pop culture authorities apparently think that musical genres have a God-given political affiliation. Any divergence from that is sacrilege. And just the thought of it sends them into nostalgic yearnings for a bygone era that only existed in their imaginations. Don&#8217;t these new country heathens know that right-wingers own their musical biases? Hell, if they&#8217;re gonna act like liberals they should just go to MTV and play the Devil&#8217;s rock music.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xu5K1s6zJsA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday night saw the return of The annual Country Music Awards.
