    - I don't think what Fox's talking heads might do that's the issue, it's that you now have a White House who because they don't always receive fawning - Stephen Oct 20, 16:57 3
      - Well, I disagree with the move, but Fox is hardly just "not fawning"; willfully and blatantly ignorant of facts is more like it. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 17:04 2

  - Yeah, I don't like them but they are not as bad as Jonathan and Victoria. -- nm - Dano Oct 20, 15:25 1
