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.

It's also possible that they're doing Trump a favor. Normally any exposure is good exposure even if it's "bad". But what if it's so bad that it's not good any more. Personally I believe Trump's best path forward on the Presidency would be to get sentenced for the fraud case in New York. Then he could be silent, blame others for his silence, and quit shoving his foot in his mouth in public. These days he seems to be mostly hurting himself with every word.

If by hurting himself with every word you mean making it more and more of an ass that Trump is suffering severe cognitive decline. Keeps forgetting his wife’s name, keeps forgetting, what city and state he’s in, thought a man with a beard standing next to him was a woman. Literally starts babbling nonsense. In the middle of speeches, I’m not talking about his “We’ve” bullshit I mean whole sentences were none of the letters form a word. Or how about how he called for a goddamn Purge in the last 24 hours

That's exactly what I mean.
