Look, I'm a Conservative who did vote Trump, but I to an extent cannot watch Fox. Their focus is more of a neoconservative approach similar to Bush, and I utterly hated Bush. That being said, I will give credit to Fox for two things, the fact that they have a fair amount of liberal speakers to present both sides, and the fact they cover a wider array of stories. Again, I don't like them, but odds are if I were forced to watch cable news for 2 hours or be killed, I'd watch Fox.
This is where I tend to get pissed at CNN or MSNBC. I'm always bound to have a distaste for their programming, since their way of covering is different than my values, but that doesn't make up for the utter crap they shove out on airwaves. Censoring speakers from the other side, faking stories for views, and pushing an extreme narrative that only a handful of people in their own party support. It's one thing to make money, but it's another to stray away from facts and try to twist a story to the point of a Yuge lie in order to deceive your base and steal their cash. Unfortunately, their way of reporting is transforming their base into a monster that is a MAJOR turnoff for Independent voters.
If you were to tell me 2 years ago what the Dems had to do to keep the White House, it would be to appeal to the middle working class like they always have. Unfortunately, they went the identity/minority politics way, which is fairly extreme to say the least. After all, Hillary's biggest campaign point was not about ACTUAL politics, but rather putting a woman in the White House. Democrats are in a big bind right now. On one end they can continue down the Socialist/Minority path, but they'll lose ANY support they had in the middle working class, which is a ginormous base. However, if they flipped back to their old style of thinking, they lose the base they're currently building up. Either way, as I see it Democrats are most certainly screwed for the upcoming years.
