Two things happened this week which are not directly related to Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. These events at FOX Noise will change the political atmosphere in our nation.
Megyn Kelly passed Bill O’Reilly in the ratings for the first time. Her popularity is rising, while O’Reilly appears to be losing viewers.
In an even more surprising change of status, CNN received higher ratings than FOX for an entire month. This surprising turn of events happened in October. This had not occurred since 2001.
FOX has been the Republican Party’s propaganda machine for two decades. Is this turn of events part of the “Trump effect.” Are the American people finally rejecting the lies and divisive efforts of this fake news network?
The networks are desperate to keep ratings high. The polls report rising numbers for Donald Trump. Don’t believe it. With just six days left until election day, there are no undecided voters. More than 35 million Americans have already cast their ballots, and if indicators are accurate, Hillary is leading.
The latest estimates for the Electoral College claim that Hillary has 263 votes. She needs only seven to win the presidency.
If this is the end of FOX Noise, could this be the beginning of a healing process for our nation? The fear, anger, and hatred which permeates our nation is the result of FOX and other broadcasts including Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, and others.
Our nation, our government only works when we have two parties who work together, deliberating the issues and compromising when necessary. This is the time to reject the “party of no.” Our nation cannot function when one party refuses to work across the aisle.
Kelly’s rise began last August when she received personal attacks from Donald Trump. She wisely refused to either support him or attack him, while O’Reilly has vacillated. Sean Hannity has placed his future in Trump’s tiny hands. He can no longer make any claim to “fair and balanced” reporting, and yet FOX continues to employ him.
It will be interesting to see if CNN can surpass FOX for a consecutive month. If that does happen, there is little question that FOX is on a path to enormous change or its demise.
I have no doubt that Kelly will have little trouble finding new employment. The same cannot be said for O’Reilly, Hannity, and others.
Please help me inform America and re-post; thank you.
