It’s been a big story around here, so there’s no need to recap. You know what happened. Tucker spanked Ted on live TV for his apostasy.
One aspect of this that I hadn’t seen mentioned is that a United States Senator, was called onto the carpet and forced to apologize by a “news” network.
And Ted had to do it. There was no way he could tell Fox to shove it. They own his ass: lock, stock and barrel.
The story is not about Ted taking a beating. We’ve all known for ever that he’s an opportunistic, spineless jerk with no moral compass. As much fun as it is to see him be trod upon, the story isn’t about him, it’s about the power that Fox wields.
A media company has that degree of control over virtually all of the elected Representatives of one party in this country. It’s no wonder we’re in such deep trouble.
