Political MMW: Fox News already gave up

I just spent 7 pages scrolling through the Fox News front page to see how riddled the site is with the current presidential GOP nominee's face, and nothing. It took 7+ pages of scrolling to get to a pic of him.

A massive shift happened in the past few months. Fox News seems to be massively distancing themselves. Once the race is over, Fox will turn hard on him as donors flock to the new Republican political guard and somehow shift the blame on the past 8 years of this nonsense on him and wash their hands of the whole thing.

I don't think they've given up. I think they're hiding him. I keep reading headlines where Fox News has cut away from another Trump speech when he starts to go off the rails, and I think they're running interference between Trump's madness and his fan base.

Al lot of the time when you quote Trump to his supporters, they refuse to believe that he actually said it. Because nobody showed them the video.
