Fox News has continued its Twitter boycott, entering a third week of cyber silence despite the rollout of a new streaming service it could have promoted to its more than 18 million followers.
According to a Wednesday Politico report, even Fox News employees don’t really know why the network has gone dark. There has been some reporting that it was catalyzed by a protest at host Tucker Carlson’s home, which Fox News has not disputed, but the company is staying quiet about confirming or denying any motivations.
One anonymous former Fox News executive colorfully captured the discordance of a major media company ignoring its platform to broadcast its grievance and reason for boycotting. “It’s like having a protest inside of your bedroom and not telling anybody,” the executive told Politico.
If only their broadcasting were to follow the same model.
Ascribing logic and reasoning to Fox, like attempting to do the same with Trump, is a fool’s errand destined to end in confusion and bafflement and feeling like you’ve just been suckered. Again.
The Fox streaming service. $5.99 a month for Steve Doocy cooking tips. Vapid blondes who criticize immigrants and kneeling athletes. Some sort of minstrel show with hosts Diamond and Slik (Coal and burlap?) Bad history from a pseudo morning show host, frustrated jock. In private Murdoch must be laughing at the rubes who empty their pockets for this stuff.
I don’t know why Fox is doing this, but I appreciate it! Thanks!
They are afraid of being charged with obstruction of justice.
