The subsequent dependence on a steady supply of contrived outrage has produced a pandemic of psychotic sufferers.<\/p>\n<p>Among the first casualties of this affliction was Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48580\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">or Cancun, depending on the weather<\/a><\/strong>). Last week Cruz complained to Sean Hannity of Fox News that Biden&#8217;s capacity for stirring up extraneous excitements was insufficient to fuel the nation&#8217;s engines of anger:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Hannity:<\/strong> &#8220;Boring but radical&#8221; kind of sums it up. Explain.<br \/>\n<strong>Cruz:<\/strong> You know, you think about the last two months. I think Joe Biden made a political decision &#8211; and it was probably a pretty good political decision &#8211; to be very boring. The last four years Donald Trump was anything but boring. [&#8230;] But it is all a subterfuge.

It&#8217;s downright diabolical. Never mind that the president isn&#8217;t supposed to be <em>&#8220;entertaining.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s what reality TV drama queens like Trump are for.<\/p>\n<p>What these ultra-rightists consider entertaining is yelling at reporters, insulting women, maligning Democrats (and even Republicans) who disagree, bigoted ranting, Capitol insurrections, and dividing America. What they consider boring is making real progress on the COVID-19 pandemic, racial equity, mitigating climate change, improving healthcare, and reforming immigration. In short, they are bored by competence, compassion, and honesty.<\/p>\n<p>That puts the Trump Confederates at a distinct disadvantage since their criteria for excellence requires the unique characteristics of Trump: Lying pathologically, bragging profusely, whining pathetically, and attacking ponderously. Anything short of that is vilified as the new yawn-inducing opiate of the masses. That point was affirmed on Thursday by Fox&#8217;s Senior Rage-aholic, Dan Bongino, who worried that his future in bombastic radio ranting <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/dan-bongino-joe-biden-boring-a-challenge-2021-3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">was in jeopardy<\/a><\/strong> due to Biden&#8217;s troublesome sense of calm:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just terrible for talk radio. I think Biden is a disaster for the country and his ideas are an atrocity. But he&#8217;s boring. He&#8217;s just boring. [&#8230;] I&#8217;ll tell you that it&#8217;s made me, I believe, a better broadcaster and host because you really had to dig. You&#8217;ve had to find interesting angles to stories. And Donald Trump was just a cornucopia of material.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Exactly! It is totally unacceptable that Biden is forcing these shlock jockeys to <em>&#8220;dig&#8221;<\/em> for faux scandals to blame on him. Trump always provided a steady stream of bullpucky to mine for material. Now the poor schnooks on Fox News have to peddle such inanities as Dr. Seuss cancelations, Mr. Potato Head gendering, imaginary immigrant caravans, and Grammy porn. It was even pointed out on Fox by Democratic pundit Chris Hahn, who told the ladies on <em>&#8220;Outnumbered&#8221;<\/em> that they would just have to live with the fact that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>United states senators got nothing to complain about Joe Biden because people are so happy with him. They&#8217;ve gotta pick a fight over whether John Kerry wore his mask for the entire flight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Poor Fox News just got owned. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Fk2xLO5NRf\">pic.twitter.com\/Fk2xLO5NRf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Grant Stern ?

His <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/03\/17\/poll-covid-relief-law-476496\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">approval rating<\/a><\/strong> just hit 62% and shows no sign of slowing down. If this sort of atrocity continues, Fox may have to abandon their long-held editorial mission of riling up the rank and file (with an emphasis on rank). They may have to concede that being boring is an asset that attests to leadership and competency. After all, no one gets overexcited because everything is going along smoothly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter recently suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
