No sooner had Friday Fox Follies resigned itself to another column about the dust-up between Donald Trump and the Fox “News” Channel that a Murder and Morning Television changed everything.
Naturally while Fox accused the Left of politicizing these murders, it did everything in its power to politicize these murders. Case in point: Fox News Criticizes Obama For Advocating Gun Reform After Virginia Shooting Victim’s Father Makes The Same Point — On Fox News.
For a while Fox was flummoxed and did not know how to characterize these murders: Whether Fox News Acknowledges A Hate Crime Depends On The Race Of The Shooter. Meanwhile, Fox’s Gretchen Carlson Wants to Know Why WDBJ Shooting Isn’t a ‘Hate Crime’ because Fox’s Gretchen Carlson Just Can’t Take ‘Not A Hate Crime’ As An Answer About WDBJ Shooting.
AT FOX “NEWS” GUN VIOLENCE IS NEVER ABOUT THE GUN: Fox Guest: Don’t Blame Guns For WDBJ Murders, Blame Race And Planned Parenthood! That’s right, Dana Loesch Brings Up Planned Parenthood In Discussion of VA Shooting, Denies US Has “A Gun Problem.” Meanwhile as Bill O’Reilly blames rise of ‘nihilism’ and ‘secular-progressive’ attitudes for Virginia journalists’ deaths, resident crackpot Fox’s Ablow [politicizes]: If Obama Wants to Stop Shootings, He Should ‘Stop Inflaming Racial Discord.’

TODAY’S TRUMP DUMP: Not wanting to spend too much time on this, but FFF has to address the Donald Trump-sized elephant in the room. Here’s the latest:
This comes after Trump Trolls ‘Terrible’ Megyn Kelly Again, RT’s Someone Calling Her a Bimbo. Hostilities had simmered when Trump Renews Attack On Megyn Kelly, And She Gets A Full-Throated Fox Defense. Well, maybe not so full-throated because Donald Trump’s Closest Fox News ‘Pals’ Barely Defend Megyn Kelly.
The back and forth went on all week and provided a constant source of new headlines:
Who Wins in the Trump vs. Fox War of Words?
Roger Ailes Finally Stands Up For Megyn Kelly
Fox News’ Roger Ailes Calls on
Trump to Apologize to Megyn Kelly
Trump Responds to Fox, Slams
Megyn Kelly’s Lack of ‘Professionalism’
Trump Promises to Never Let Megyn
Kelly Forget: ‘She Should Apologize to Me’
The always wrong Billy Kristol on Trump’s Megyn Kelly Attack: Fox Probably Shouldn’t Be ‘Thin-Skinned,’ which was echoed by Eric Wemple who wondered Why is Fox News chief Roger Ailes responding to Donald Trump?
Others, like Tee Vee critic , asked, Could cable news hosts kiss up any harder to Donald Trump?
The schmooziness especially rubbed me the wrong way Tuesday night when Bill O’Reilly ended an interview with Trump by asking him if it was a “fair” one.
“You’re always fair, Bill,” Trump said. “And I appreciate it. … I think you’re terrific.”
As the two started smooching back and forth about how much they like and respect each other, O’Reilly said, “I’m worried if you’re elected, I’m getting deported.”
“You’ll never be, Bill,” Trump joked back. “We’re going to try like hell to keep you.”
That prompted Loofah Lad to interrogate on his show: TV Critic to O’Reilly: You Should Be Tougher on Trump Just for What He Did to Megyn Kelly. Meanwhile, O’Reilly Tells Trump to Quit Attacks on Megyn Kelly, Praises Both as ‘Friends.‘
It’s nice to see she hasn’t lost her sense of humor, as Megyn Kelly Gets In a Small Trump Wisecrack:
At the very end of her show, Kelly gave a special shoutout to her husband Douglas Brunt for his birthday today and ended her show by joking, “I bought him a Donald Trump tie!”
The other networks have been having a field day with this. Watch MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Explain The History Behind Donald Trump’s Tumultuous Relationship With Fox News:
Meanwhile, CNN Contributor Highlights Roger Ailes’ Double Standard When It Comes To Sexist Attacks On Female Journalists, while also On CNN, Former Fox Anchor Highlights Fox News’ Role In “Creating” Trump.
The oddest headline to come out of the Fox “News” bunker this week:
Rupert Murdoch Retweets
A Call To Fire Roger Ailes
While not always in agreement with Donald Trump, the Fox “News” Channel has signed onto his war with Univision: Fox’s Jesse Watters: Jorge Ramos ‘Acted Like an Illegal Alien’
“I think Ramos acted like an illegal alien and got treated like one,” Watters told his co-hosts of The Five on Wednesday. “He cut the line, was disruptive, and then was deported and then Trump let him back in. Isn’t that his policy?”
