State-run Television

FOX News has been in a deep fall in the last year or so. With the firing of Bill O'Reilly and the death of Roger Ailes and the move of Megan Kelly to another network, FOX had no one that could replace them. Their leftovers were mostly deep bench players.

But they had been trained within their political system for many years and they were easy targets to be the voices of the State-run media. They accepted their roles with relish. They have been more than willing to spout lies and excuses for the Trump Administration. They pretend they are doing something important, as if it is their duty to defend the lies of their Dear Leader.

The State-run media speaks to about 35% of the people that support Donald Trump. Truth is alien to them if it conflicts with their partisan agenda. They are no different than Tass or RT in their support of Putin's agenda. They are sucked in like a cult, worshiping the ideas of their beloved Leader.
