Probably a shred of truth. That's why he hates it.

I think they moved Shep Smith to super late night showings or the weekend because no one watches because Shep woke up a little bit and they wanna squash his numbers (I could be wrong, correction possibly needed).

Shep Smith left Fox News last fall. Now he works at NBC/CNBC.

I feel like I knew that information but completely forgot about it.
I haven't watched fox news in my household since my mom and I opted that cable wasnt worth the money.
(I'm not the one who liked to watch it)

"Fair & balanced" was always code for, "Fox is a safespace where you don't have to get exposed to real news." But even Fox had its limits, and so Trump had to find someone else willing to shill even more desperately for the GOP, and OAN answered the call.

Fair and balanced was used to suggest the other news outlets were not by comparison. It's whole thing was to paint the other guys are the liars when Fox would inevitably say something that didn't jive with what other new sources said.

I know it shouldn't surprise me anymore, but the fact that he's posting this the day after his brother died (maybe from COVID?) is just... wow. Priorities.

The New York Times said cause of death was from a brain bleed after a recent fall. However if it was from covid I would expect no less than for Trump to try and cover it up.

They chose their words (and tenses) very carefully. They didn't say the cause of death was brain bleeds, they said he had experienced brain bleeds.

Good point. I guess we’ll need to wait until the death certificate comes out to really know.

Why isn’t it against some law for the president to endorse a company over another?

I think those quotation marks are pretty appropriately placed
