They sell whatever credibility they had (probably surprisingly cheap) to the propagandists who want to destroy America and turn it from a republic to neo-feudalism.

They are the carnival ducks that are lined up for the O' Reillys and Hannitys to shoot at.

It is like the movie, "Surviving the Game", where Ice T was fed a meal and then turned loose to be hunted. The "progressives" on Fox are target practice and unlike Ice T's character, they willingly accept the role. They become submissive on que.

The mere fact that they appear on the political version of "The National Enquirer" only helps FOX defend the absurd notion that they are "fair and balanced". For that reason, they do more harm than good.

Fox News employees Fake democrats. IF they are there.. they provide the same kind of entertainment that villains do in Pro wrestling.

Trippi has tons of experience running campaigns, so he's a good choice for political commentary.

Or I should say, I don't watch it at home- I sometimes see it at the gym without the sound on. Anyhoo- I think any "Democrat" or "liberal" that chooses to work there knows they are tokens whose main function is to be the fig leaf in the pretension of non-partisanship. "We report- you decide." I wouldn't trust anyone who has made that deal.
