From its inception 28 years ago, Fox News has relentlessly pursued its mission to advance the interests of ultra right-wing politicians and policies. That mission has been unencumbered by the principles of ethical journalism or honesty. The network’s objective of promoting arch-conservativism on behalf of the wealthy and corporations has been paramount in their “reporting”<\/em> at all times.<\/p>\n

With the emergence of Donald Trump and the cult that has arisen around him, Fox News has managed to do what many may have thought impossible. They got even worse. Their devotional embrace of Trump has exceeded the adulation of history’s most notorious cult leaders. Fox News has helped Trump to prove that he was right when he said that he could “shoot someone on 5th Avenue”<\/em> without losing any support. And as a result of Fox’s reverential propaganda, Trump’s clan regards him as their only source of truth.<\/p>\n

This week Fox News has outdone itself. On Thursday their Fox Nation streaming network aired an awards ceremony wherein Trump was declared the “Patriot of the Year.”<\/em> To be clear, that’s a choice that is honoring a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, draft dodger, who incited a coup, and said he would terminate the Constitution, as the most patriotic person in America. You have to wonder who the runner-ups were. Steve Bannon? Vladimir Putin? Hannibal Lector?<\/p>\n

This award could be in appreciation of Trump’s nominees to his still forming administration. At least 14 of them (so far) are Fox News hosts, contributors, or frequent guests. Among these unqualified, morally bankrupt appointments is his embattled nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As if that weren’t enough, Fox News also invited Melania Trump on to chat with the “Curvy Couch”<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends (Hegseth’s old haunt). That segment actually turned out to be their version of a right-wing Home Shopping Network where viewers could purchase grossly overpriced trinkets designed by Melania herself. Who wouldn’t want a $90.00 Christmas tree ornament by the woman who once said<\/a><\/strong> “Who gives a f**k about Christmas stuff?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Fox News has succumbed to acting as Melania Trump's personal Home Shopping Network.<\/p>\n

And the whole Trump family is totally and exclusively about grifting. Their only concern is what's in it for them. https:\/\/t.co\/pzHyO6cboF<\/a><\/p>\n
