The Death of FOX News

Good Sunday morning, Friends,

Last week, we witnessed the first big nail being hammered into the coffin of FOX News. The funny thing is, we may not even have realized it.

What am I talking about?

The wheels began falling off several weeks ago when the network dismissed CEO Roger Ailes for sexually harassing FOX anchor and former Miss America Gretchen Carlson. And there were others.

Despite being a sexual aggressor, Ailes is a media genius. He earned most of the credit for building FOX News into a right-wing media Goliath. It has long been the leading network on cable TV.

Live by the sword, die by it. Too bad for FOX News, but it looks like
they haven't been quite "Republican" enough for Donald Trump.
It's not Ailes' leaving FOX that will bring that network down. It's the new empire he's about to build with Donald Trump, and Trump's new campaign director Steve Bannon, that will.

And they can't wait for November 8th to come and go, Trump to lose, and Hillary Clinton open up a whole new world for them.

When I said earlier that if Hillary wins, we're in for at least four years of non-stop scandal, I had no idea what was going down behind the scenes. We're about to see the equivalent of nuclear war in the media.

And I believe that Ailes, the king of attack media, has it in for his former employer.

Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, told CNN this morning that Trump's old friend Ailes is not officially advising the campaign, but he and The Donald "talk regularly."

If you're a reader, you already know about Bannon, former CEO of the Breitbart News Network. If not, let's just say you don't want him working against you.

He destroys anyone in his path, and truth is never an object.

Then, there's National Enquirer editor, and another close Trump friend, David Pecker...he of the Heide Cruz vs, Melania Trump pulchritude flap fame. among many others.

Put these great minds together and you come up with the next media empire. Let's call it: TrumpBart.

It has everything it needs to be YUGE--the celebrity, the management, connections, experience and the money, along with a built-in audience of some 14 million plus.

TrumpBart would sweep away most of FOX's viewers.

FOX has been the most friendly of the networks to our dearest Nubbs, but the news side of the operation has roughed him up some. And we know that Trump always fights back.

I truly believe he has no real desire to be President. He sees something far bigger as his legacy, and it's more YUGE than what until now has been the biggest right wing media arm in history.

TrumpBart is about to say to FOX, "Trump U!"
