Fox News created Donald Trump — but now the unlikely Republican frontrunner appears to be destroying the conservative cable network.

The network’s bosses are scrambling to determine their role in the “altered media ecosystem” since Trump has risen to the top of the Republican presidential pack — while publicly challenging Fox News and its anchors, reported New York Magazine.

Trump skipped the second Fox primary debate last month after the network rejected his demand to replace Megyn Kelly as moderator and then mocked his request, and the dispute has spilled over into a quarrel between Kelly and Bill O’Reilly.

“They’re at each other’s throats big time,” one Fox insider told the magazine. “I mean, like big time. (Fox chairman and CEO Roger Ailes) doesn’t know what the hell to do.”

much that is what they exist to do, among other stuff like misogyny and racism.

But their man function is to keep convincing average middle class Americans that they will be better off if the billionaires have it all.

Destroying Fox for real would be the best thing to happen to the human race in a long time, let me know if I can help.

promoters like fox news. If Trump wins he'll be attacking the press all term. Funny that their precious bullshit spewing institutions on the right are falling apart. What can they do. They are against regulations and taxes. But Trump want to change trade deals. They didn't bargain for that when they destroyed the middle class in order to get more power.
