Bullshit Fox News Says

It's racist to target people merely because they are white supremacists

Biden's been President less than 48 hours and he's already a failure according to Fox talking heads. Oh, and those meanie LibDems are going after white supremacists. Who's next - neo-Confederates and anti-Semites? Next they'll be trying to ban the Confederate flag and that stupid white power hand gesture! The horror!

Push back and you’ll get bosided into oblivion. Remember no president was ever persecuted like djt in the history of organized humans.
 
so now that Biden is President they care about the Virus? Biden has done more to control the virus in 48 hours than Trump did in one year.

truth

But the virus hasn't disappeared overnight, which just proves that LibDem beliefs in "big bloated government" don't work. If things don't improve immediately when a Democrat becomes POTUS, it's a clear sign that their socialist ideas are a failure.
 
Lots of outrage on my timelines that Amazon didn't step in to help with vaccine distribution until Biden took office, so people are calling for boycotts of Amazon. Let me know how that works out for you.

eh there's probably a strong overlap with this boycott Amazon crowd and the boycott Amazon crowd as a result of Parler "censorship"
 
let them boycott amazon. amazon does not need their money. this is yet another reason why the president should not have pissing wars with corporations or business owners. no way Bezos would need to feel required to help Trump! besides did Trump ever ask him for help? i doubt that happened.

To be fair. Bezos would not have been helping Trump, he'd have been helping the 100s of millions of Americans that want the vaccine. But, I suspect it's far more likely that Trump never asked for help.

Yep! Biden's first day in office and there were x number of cases and x number of deaths

Makes sense to want to help people but wait until there is competent leadership with a plan before coming forward.

There are plans within the government for incorporating the private sector into government led emergency responses. One of the downsides of Trump's preference for easily fireable acting department leaders is they didn't have (or take) the time to learn about such plans and hence didn't implement them.

One of the advantages of recycling officials from the Obama administration is people can remember "some plain we wrote back in 2012" and ask about it. Some civil servant will be able to find a copy. Many of those plans were written to provide some guidance about responding to abnormal situations.

Yeah, I don't fault Bezos, or anybody, for waiting to engage with the federal government to support the public wellbeing until after the inauguration. Since November, the "let's just wait until January 20th around 12:30PM before we do anything about this" mindset has been happening at all levels of the Federal Government. Investing time and money into Trump's vaccine plan would have been a waste of time and money and you just run the risk getting a Tweet about how much you personally screwed up the vaccine. Nothing was stopping Bezos from reaching out to state Governors or Pfaiser, etc. directly to help with distribution though.
 
I'm sure that others have read this, but the ratings for Fox have plummeted since the presidential election in November. They finished dead last in the ratings on Inaugural Day, and their ratings were down a whopping 77% from the 2017 Trump inaugural.

"From Election Day (Nov. 3) through Inauguration Day (Jan. 20), when Democrat Joe Biden was sworn in to succeed Trump as president, CNN was the most-watched cable news network in both total viewers (1.8 million) and those 25-to-54 (501,000), the key news demographic, according to Nielsen ratings.

Fox dropped to third (1.5 million) across the day, trailing MSNBC (1.6 million), although it narrowly leads MSNBC (283,000 to 278,000) among viewers ages 25 to 54.

CNN also took over the top spot among viewers in the key demographic in prime time, where Fox features its biggest hitters – opinion hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham – although Fox remains No. 1 overall."

The article speculates that some Fox viewers have switched to OAN and Newsmax, and that Fox may eventually regain its top-rated status as viewers return to Fox after sampling OAN and Newsmax, and right-wing opposition to Biden grows. I guess we'll see - but it's easy to see why Fox is ditching most of its last remaining straight news staff and digging in even harder on pure opinion shows.

Weird that they didn’t include OAN ratings.

CNN and MSNBC could continue to benefit from more left leaning people turning in knowing they aren’t going to be inundated with Trump. My wife went to the Women’s March then came back and stopped watching news all together to the point that she wouldn’t even watch the news with me. I only started back watching any news during the election cycle. On social media, I’m seeing more left leaning people talking about watching MY GIRL Jen Psaki’s press briefing. I’m sure that will die down some after the newness of the Biden administration wanes. Remains to be seen how active the Dem base is outside of election cycles.

I’m not sure Fox News will recover without the drug of Trump. Can be fuel their base on straight anger anymore?
 
lol--Fox News getting tea-partied by them even less sane more "right" agencies.

Sad in a way, but predictable.
