The moment that FOX News is forced to report a damaging story on Donald Trump...

...will be the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency.

If FOX News reports that Donald Trump was getting huge loans from Deutsche Bank and having them co-signed by Russian oligarchs, that will be a story that will be very difficult for them to explain away.

After all, Trump assured everyone that he had no business with Russia. When the truth was that he had almost all his business with Russia, then it is a lie that is hard to dismiss.

FOX News has always been an obstacle to getting to the truth and holding people accountable before the law. They have always been able to laugh and shrug it off as nothing but "Democrat partisanship".

But, if they report that Trump was in bed with Putin and the oligarchs, which we already know to be true, then it will shine a different light on their hero and messiah, in my opinion. It will change the entire narrative from the right and from FOX News.

It will be extremely damaging for Donald Trump.

When they hear it from the morning news crowd or from evening propaganda, they will believe it. They don't believe anything Shep says.

It would probably only happen if they lose the MAGATs who are their only followers. For the first time we can hope it will happen.

Trump needs that wall of noise from Fox to drown out the truth. Here’s hoping he alienates Fox.

...most of the talking heads at FOX consider themselves "fair and balanced" reporters.

Will their eyes ever be opened? Who knows?

When they expose him for laughing at the pain and suffering of his own deplorables, maybe.
Some of the trumpsters wear "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat" T-Shirts to his rallies, so his association with Russia might not even matter that much to them...
