A republican being anti-Fox News? That's a bold strategy.

I have heard some people refer to Fox News as being, and I quote, "liberal."

In fairness, these people are part of the MAGA crowd, so I assume they can't actually read and have no idea what the word "liberal" means.

at this rate, she's going to go so conservative that she'll end up out of a job, because women voting or getting elected is "woke".

"Liberal" is just another slur to them, like "woke."

During Trump's first term, Fox pushed back just slightly on some of the shit he was trying to pull. Turned out even Fox wasn't entirely comfortable with Trump being president. However, this backfired and pushed some viewers to OAN because Fox had spent the last couple decades training their viewers to hate anyone who even slightly opposes a Republican president. Of course, that increased OAN's profile, which got them on Trump's radar. Trump loves them because they won't stop sucking his dick, so he promotes them to his followers, so now a bunch of people that used to religiously watch Fox now religiously watch OAN and think that Fox isn't conservative enough.

They made a monster and it slipped its leash.

It's funny how it they were leftists using that word correctly, they'd be right. Ain't that some shit?

Well, they would have been right, before Trump.
