Has anyone noticed a difference in FOX since Roger Ailes left ?

It seems to me that they have become more partisan than ever?

It doesn't matter how many times Donald Trump might screw up, they rationalize and make up an excuse for it. "He was very presidential standing next to another foreign leader"..."He is not a politician"..."He tells it like it is" ... and "He is a kind and humane person".

At the same time, they are doubling down with their criticism of Hillary Clinton.

They have become an ominous threat to the truth. And they don't even try anymore.

but do expect subtle changes now that Ailes isn't running it like the court of Henry VIII. Those should show up in six months to a year.

For now, they're going into an election they're likely to lose. A swing to the left or even the center is not going to happen.

It was back when there was a fad for Spooks, FBI, & Robert NOVAKula & INGRAHAM to convert (to Opus Dei?).

She went through a period under the radar, perhaps the semblance of soaking up the new changes that might manifest?

So when she resurfaced I pored at the t.v. screen, attempting to see a more "Christ-like" demeanor towards others, in her tolerance and kindness towards others, specifically her political adversaries, some soothing in her words - anything that might indicate some spirituality. And nothing. Zip. For a few months perhaps a slightly lower decibel level, but soon enough all of the same bile, vociferousness, and scorched earth. This, besides having adopted children and gone through cancer. Same her before and after.

A nun from The Little Sisters of the Poor said in an e-mail to my inquiry that she never heard of INGRAHAM and knew nothing of donations by her.
