And his statement that Trump&#8217;s policies charted <em>&#8220;a course for unprecedented American prosperity and security,&#8221;<\/em> strikes just right tone of flagrant dishonesty to launch a budding career in nakedly biased media and propaganda. If Trump&#8217;s policies were so successful he wouldn&#8217;t have been evicted form the White House by an unprecedented majority of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>However, nowhere in the announcement was it acknowledged that Pompeo is actively exploring a run for president in 2024. He has already made the requisite appearances in in the first primary state of Iowa. This hire is just another example of Fox News boosting Republican politicians. At the very least, Fox is proving to be the GOP&#8217;s jobs program for failed pols with nowhere else to go. He is joining Trump castoffs&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Kayleigh McEnany<\/strong>, the former press secretary who is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48657\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">now a co-host of Fox&#8217;s <em>Outnumbered<\/em><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Larry Kudlow<\/strong>, the former economic advisor who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48500\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">replaced Fox&#8217;s Lou Dobbs<\/a>, who was fired in connection with the billion dollar lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lara Trump<\/strong>, who, for the moment, is the wife of Eric Trump &#8211; her only qualification for the job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pompeo shares the distinction of being a prospective candidate with Lara Trump. She has been talking about running for the Senate in North Carolina for weeks. And another former Trump press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, has already gone from Trump&#8217;s White House to Fox News to a candidacy for governor of Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p>There is no bottom to the ethical breaches by Fox News and the Republican shills they support. It is a brazenly biased confederacy of shameless dishonesty operating as a mutual benefit society for personal and political gain.
