What's going on at Fox?

What's going on at Fox? Soft on Muslim radicals and soft on Democrat crime. I don't know the details, but it doesn't look good for all the media to be left of center. I think that's called collusion--or just crony capitalism. Comment from a Facebook site—I didn’t write this and haven’t checked for errors:

"Judge Jeanine Pirro and “New Fox.”

Ya want to know what’s going on with Judge Jeanine Pirro? Fox News won’t tell you, but I will. There’s no joy in Mudville.

Disney is buying the 21st Century Fox movie studio assets. Fox Corp., begins trading as a standalone company Tuesday, 3/19/19, after a spinoff from 21st Century Fox. The “new Fox” holds TV assets including Fox News, the Fox broadcast network and television stations, and Fox Sports.

The new company has named directors to its Board, including Paul Ryan, former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, to its board. That sucks, in my opinion. It’s no wonder that Fox is giving grief to Judge Jeanine Pirro. The company has also named Roland Hernandez as a director. Mr. Hernandez was previously chief executive of Telemundo Group Inc. Who’s next: Meghan McCain?

Fox News’ treatment of Judge Jeanine Pirro is inexcusable. But remember this. IF YOU QUIT WATCHING FOX NEWS, THE LEFT WINS. The Commiecrats would like nothing better than that we stop watching Fox News. True story."

Fox News leads all the other networks. The stockholders have made millions from a network that occasionally promotes a conservative viewpoint with opinion shows. CNN viewership is pitiful—it’s opinion is in the news--but it's all Europe gets. We don't need another liberal/socialist/lapdog like the other media. Fox already had 3-4 liberal rip and read folks that caused us to hit mute. Now Donna Brazile? The so called "political analyst" for the Democrat party who threw the nomination to Hillary? Commenting on Omar [which the judge did], who regularly disses the President and hates Israel, is a more serious sin than throwing Bernie under the bus and cheating the CNN viewers?

So why would I want to continue watching Fox? All social media is clamping down on conservatives—but there are still a few out there.

Paul Ryan on the current president

Let me say a word about the man Mitt Romney will replace. No one disputes President Obama inherited a difficult situation. And, in his first 2 years, with his party in complete control of Washington, he passed nearly every item on his agenda. But that didn’t make things better.
In fact, we find ourselves in a nation facing debt, doubt and despair.
...

This is the worst economic recovery in 70 years.
Unemployment has been above 8 percent for more than three years, the longest run since the Great Depression. Families are hurting.
We have the largest deficits and the biggest federal government since WW II.
Nearly 1 out of 6 Americans are in poverty--the worst rate in a generation. Moms and dads are struggling to make ends meet.
Household incomes have dropped by more than $4,000 over the past four years.
Whatever the explanations, whatever the excuses, this is a record of failure.

A plan to save us

Paul D. Ryan's plan to save us from the looming entitlement crisis is so sound and so sensible, you know before you get to the last paragraphs that Democrats won't support it. Remember how they said in 2006 they had a plan? (Hope? Change?) Ha. The economy has plummeted since they took back Congress and scared everyone with their hot air, hair brained ideas to punish the successful and abandon our allies.

Ryan's plan requires a sense of personal responsibility, the federal government getting off our backs and to stop using our "trust" fund for other programs, the states reassuming some tasks they've let go, a more fair tax plan, and long range planning. These elements are really lacking in the general population, so it will be a tough sell. Millions have grown up wanting someone else to be in charge of their health, their education, their personal relationships and their pensions. Ryan suggests
    universal health coverage . . .shifting the ownership of health coverage from the government and employers to individuals, providing a refundable tax credit – $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for families – to purchase coverage

    . . . modernizing Medicaid by giving states maximum flexibility to tailor their Medicaid programs to the specific needs of their populations

    providing workers under 55 the option of investing over one-third of their current Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts

    simplifing the tax codes rates and eliminating capital gains tax to stimulate investment(don't we hear that every 4 years?)
Sigh. But oh, we can dream.
