Another "revelation" that anyone paying attention should have already known. Feel free to mock me again for my "conspiracy theories" though.

He (Zucker) went on to say, “I’ve said before that Fox is state-run TV. The question should be, ‘Is the White House state-run government by Fox TV?’ “

In other words, "Don't even expose yourself to other opinions or information. Just do as we say."

Obviously there is a hate Trump bot working hard for these papers.
If any new media is state run it isn't Fox.
But why say State run. DNC run is the title.

Fox is under attack on all fronts.
The network itself is subject to accusations of beitn "state run,". There was a hit peice in the New Yorker. Which was cited by the DNC when they announced Fox NC would not be allowed to cover the debates.
Then there are the personal attacks on the personalities.
Someone went back a number of years to find stuff Tucker Carlson said on the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show.
Took the words out of context and has used them to stir up activists threatening to boycott sponsors etc.
This is the new left,

As anyone who has ever been caught in its gears can tell you, the great American outrage machine is a remarkable thing. One day you're having dinner with your family, imagining everything is fine. The next, your phone is exploding with calls from reporters.

They read you snippets from a press release written by Democratic Party operatives. They demand to know how you could possibly have said something so awful and offensive, and ask something like, "Do you have a statement on how immoral you are?" It's a bewildering moment, especially when the quotes in question are more than a decade old.

There's really not that much you can do to respond. It's pointless to try to explain how the words were spoken in jest or taken out of context, or in any case, bear no resemblance to what you actually think or would want for the country. None of that matters. Nobody cares. You know the role you're required to play. You are a sinner that needs the forgiveness of Twitter.

So you issue a statement of deep contrition. You apologize profusely for your transgressions. You promise to be a better person going forward with the guidance of your contrition consultants. You send money to whatever organization that claims to represent the people you supposedly offended. Then you sit back, and brace for a wave of stories about your apology, all of which simply provide a pretext for attacking you again.

In the end, you get fired, you lose your job. Nobody defends you. Your neighbors avert their gaze as you pull into the driveway. You are ruined. And yet, no matter how bad it gets, no matter how despised and humiliated you may be, there is one thing you can never do -- one thing that is absolutely not allowed. You can never acknowledge the comic absurdity of the whole thing. You can never laugh in the face of the mob.

One side is deadly serious. They believe that politics is war. They are not interested in abstractions or principles, rules or traditions. They seek power, and they intend to win it with whatever it takes. If that includes getting you fired or silencing you, or threatening your family at home, or throwing you in prison, okay. They know what their goal is. If you are in way, they will crush you.
