Fox had a much easier time defending a competent Republican president.
It's much harder to basically ignore the top news stories of the day and manufacture stories like Seth Rich and attract viewers. The problem is that people into the Seth Rich-type stories aren't watching Fox - they're watching InfoWars or Cernovich Periscopes.

MSNBC and CNN aren't pure political infotainment like FOX then- gotcha
BTW the networks weren't completely berserk about Bush- but the liberal public used similar apocalyptic language when it came to Bush. The climate in those days made things much more of a wash- and as I was trying to imply- this is a gradual process, not an overnight one
FOX's ratings went up when Obama took office. CNN and MSNBC are now heading higher then they've been in a long time.... forever in the case of MSNBC
Let's not try to minimize that the left has its own biases shall we

Re: Donald Trump
I'm not saying MSNBC and CNN aren't political infotainment. I was disagreeing with you implying that Fox isn't doing well because a Republican is in power and MSNBC and CNN are doing well because they get to play the opposition role.
I'm saying that didn't happen at all during GWB's presidency. Fox dominated the ratings.

Joe will tell you I'm a pseudo intellectual hack with issues
He's never lost an argument about religion or faith or the meaning of life or God
he's literally undefeated (Just ask him)
Where as you and Jelly seem to take joy in prodding and poking
never really quite claiming victory - just rubbing the other guys nose in a valid point - seems to be enough
