So every now and then I watch a little Fox News just to see what they are feeding the flock and the crazy. Sometimes they forget that someone with critical thinking skills might be watching and they'll actually come straight out and say the stuff they usually dog-whistle around. That's how you could tell that there was never an intention to replace ObamaCare, which is why they didn't have a plan ready.
So I watched Jeanne Pirro give her impassioned defense of Trump the other night , basically ripping Paul Ryan a new one for not delivering either the votes or a decent bill. Then I saw part of a Trump progress report town hall meeting that had a bunch of ordinary people raving about how awesome Trump was and what a great job he was doing. They were also doing a lot of reporting on crimes committed by immigrants.
Then something about the tone, the vocabulary, the cadence, the phrasing used in the pieces struck me. FOX is now broadcasting to an audience of one. They know Trump is watching, and they make sure he only hears what he wants to hear. They gear absolutely everything to him. It's funny and disturbing at the same time.
