He is denying all the charges, but his denials don&#8217;t come close to assuaging the graphic claims of his accusers. A generation ago this campaign would have been shut down in a hot minute. But what Moore has going for him is a well-heeled propaganda machine that masquerades as a news network: Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>On first blush, it may seem beyond the pale that even a devoted practitioner of media bias would hesitate to defend a sexual predator and pedophile. However, we are talking about Fox News here. They have a history with sexual deviants who were shielded, and even promoted, within their own dysfunctional corporate family. With that record of toxic behavior, it&#8217;s no wonder that Fox News can so fiercely support someone like Moore. Take a look at who they built their reputation supporting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CEO Roger Ailes<\/li>\n<li>Star host Bill O&#8217;Reilly<\/li>\n<li>President Bill Shine<\/li>\n<li>Host Eric Bolling<\/li>\n<li>Fox Business host Charles Payne<\/li>\n<li>Fox Sports President Jamie Horowitz<\/li>\n<li>Vice-President of Fox News Latino, Francisco Cortes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of these people were powerful and prominent Fox News big shots who were touched by scandals involving sexual harassment and\/or abuse. Most of them were terminated in disgrace, although even then some were rewarded by Fox with rich severance packages. And in addition to the loss of those sleazeballs, Fox News also said farewell to some of the female talent who resigned after being victimized. They include Gretchen Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Laurie Dhue, Andrea Tantaros, Rudi Bakhtiar, and Julie Roginsky.<\/p>\n<p>And let&#8217;s not forget the most notorious Fox News pervert: Donald Trump. The President was himself a Fox News attraction before joining with Vladimir Putin to steal an election. Trump was featured in a regular segment of Fox and Friends called <em>&#8220;Mondays with Trump.&#8221;<\/em> Now he is the White House affiliate of the Fox News propaganda factory. And his past is fraught with credible allegations of sexual abuse that is equal to, or worse than, any of that committed by the offenders above. He should be driven from office on those grounds alone, never mind the evidence of treason. Yet he&#8217;s getting a free pass from Fox News as well as all the other news organizations.<\/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>As for Fox, with its abundant experience it is the perfect place to go for reputation rehabilitation if you&#8217;re caught soliciting minor girls. And shills like Sean Hannity have already had plenty of practice in this nauseating field of public relations. So it&#8217;s no surprise that Moore has burrowed into the protective arms of his Fox News protectors. And there he will reside until his sleazy past becomes impossible to escape. But even then Fox will be be frantically proclaiming his innocence and victimhood while blaming it all on Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. It&#8217;s what they do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under ordinary circumstance, the senate campaign in Alabama would never have been elevated into a national news story.
