What does it take to get banned from FNC?

One of the problems with FOX News Channel (FNC) is fundamentally it’s a morally bankrupt network. Even if you’re doing great things there, you still have the stain of working for FOX News. And this brings into question everything you do.

James Murdoch seems to have realized the toxicity of the FOX News brand because he recently cut ties with News Corp over “editorial differences.” However, the Murdoch family, James’ father, brother and sister, still controls the company.

Chris Wallace shoots himself in the foot

Chris Wallace exemplifies this problem. He recently drew praise for his tough questioning of President Donald Trump on “FOX News Sunday.” Wallace challenged the president’s statements, often conducting live fact-checking, and refusing to let Trump gaslight his way out of false comments.

Trump looked flustered and overwhelmed during the interview. But that was topped by his trainwreck interview with Axios’ Jonathan Swan, which was 30 minutes of lying, gaslighting and interruptions. The Axios interview was essentially a 30-minute ad for why America should elect Joe Biden president.
