Fox News is Joining the Fake News Pollsters

Those on the political right believe Fox News is an ally, while those on the left criticize Fox as a right-wing echo chamber. Both groups are wrong. Fox News has made a hard turn to the left in recent years. Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch are relegated to the Fox News Wikipedia page while the new bosses are the next generation of Murdochs, woke, liberal, and no fan of either President Trump or his supporters.
Fox’s news shows are peppered with liberals, from Juan Williams and the recently departed Sheppard Smith to Donna Brazile and Chris Hahn. The evening and weekend opinion show hosts are still solidly conservative, but that number is dwindling. Fox us still better than CNN for example, with no conservative voices, after firing Jeffrey Lord for the high crime of defending Trump on the Orange Man Bad network.
As the impeachment scheme falls apart, with no actual wrongdoing by the President, no bribes or extortion, no pay-to-play, no collusion, or anything else which Trump is accused of, but which Joe Biden actually did, the media has gone into overdrive to push the “everyone hates Trump and wants him thrown from office” mantra.
Who needs high crimes or misdemeanors if a majority of America wants Trump removed from office? Impeachment by opinion poll.
Impeachment is being boosted and promoted by the usual Democrat media outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, the NY Times, and the Washington Post, but Fox News, so-called “fair and balanced,” has been considered more reasoned than the rest of the Trump-loathing media. At least until Rupert Murdoch’s two sons got more involved in the news business, tilting Fox News leftward.
Don’t forget a recent addition to the Fox Corporation board, pushing the network further in the NeverTrump direction. Former House Speaker Paul Ryan thinks his new job as a board member of Fox Corporation will finally allow him to “do something” about President Donald Trump, according to a new report in Vanity Fair.
The latest example is yet another impeachment poll, this time a Fox News poll showing majority opinion in favor of not only impeachment, but also “impeachment and removal.”
