After following Donald Trump as the second coming?
(For ratings and Access)
Their talking heads KMNOW Joe Biden won a month ago as Fox News copped to with some of their on air people…
But the other little right leaning Networks have found something to chew on….
Instead of dealing with the reality of the 2020 Presidential election?
Why NOT keep feeding their audiences more of Trump lies and distorted reality?
Audience figure’s are what drive ad dollars….
Ad dollars pay the bill, staff and stock holders….
What are they gonna doooooooo?
Those challenges have universally fizzled, and the electoral college confirmed Biden’s status as president-elect Monday.
But conservative media still haven’t quite figured out what to do with the phrase. And the last 24 hours have been especially telling on that front.

Oh I think they’ll bend DSD….
Might not be happy and just bend…
But they NEED access….
Newsmax issues apology after being sued by Dominon Voting machine company for damaging its rep…
The company reported on Trump’s claims that their machines where at fault during last years General election….
