FOX NEWS article rhymed
When Donald Trump lost the presidency, Fox News lost too
“We’re bleeding eyeballs,” a Fox producer remarked “And we’re scared of blue”
But unlike Trump, Fox was never in denial about its loss
Resorted to what seems like a Two-headed coin toss
Network’s executives, multi-million-dollar stars
Elites watching from satellites as far as Mars
Stared the ratings in the face
Feared soon behind in the race
Switching channels or turning off TVs in the resident
When their pro-Trump audience reacted to the prospect of Biden as President
To fix the problem, Fox ran even further to the right
Today we know this was not so bright
But it worked!
It was profitable for Lachlan Murdoch and Rupert
But it was toxic for the American political system,
“Fox is a really different place than it was pre-election”
After Biden took office, a commentator said with regret
I am sure they saw this coming—I bet
Changes at Fox followed the post-election
Fox News is the primary trusted source of information
Americans in the millions
Republican elected officials, party activists, changes affect everyone
One day at a time, one show at a time
But when viewed in totality, a crime
They are unmistakable and stark
Every change was evil and dark
Having less news on the air and more opinions
Of Trump and his dominions
Evangelist like, sinners
It was like serving dessert without dinner
When the dessert consisted of screaming dinner was awful
Warning the meal might be a socialist plot, Leftist, unlawful
A huge loss, a pivotal point because of Trump
Fox’s ratings declined, so the slump
‘We denied the pandemic, now we’re denying the election outcome.’
Thy kingdom come thy will be done?
After the networks projected Biden as president-elect was no surprise
But the precipitousness was a shock, a demise
Fox’s afternoon and evening hours fell by thirty percent
Even though the news cycle was nothing short of epic, unprecedent
For people at Fox who were used to winning for years,
this was disorienting, and for some downright terrifying, bringing tears
Other Far Right Channels where gaining
Newer ones in training
Fox News Media CEO and the management team found a way to lure the Fox audience back home
Fox fallen far from their throne
By giving the viewers what they wanted: False hope
Fined, sued and finding a way to cope
On Fox, Trump was treated as a political genius
While others threw him under the bus
And treated him like a lame duck who failed to win reelection
“Our audience hates this,” one executive said in a moment of candor
And in a sweeping meander
“This” was: Biden as president-elect and Kamala Harris as VP-elect -Oh brother! Said another: “They’re pissed” said a second source: “Seething”
Whining dogs may exhibit signs of anxiety, such as chewing, and excessive barking, or teething—I Am Anaya
