3. I think Fox is just following the money

Clearly, their Republican gravy train is about out of gravy. This is blindingly obvious.

4. Yes.

They care more about power and money than ideology. They will change their tune with the changing times.

5. Money isn't what it is about.

Fox exists to mold opinions. To catapult the propaganda. They want Hillary vs McCain in the fall so the owners of this country win either way. Both of those candidates are beholden to the owners.

8. Didn't Fox News lose about a half billion dollars over their first five or six years?

Try doing that with a start-up.
