I've been watching Fox Infotainment since the end of the Putin and Trump statements. Not something I really enjoy, but the change on the issue is alarming!
I am sure it has something to do with the unfavorability polls of Putin shared earlier in this thread. Also, the percent of Republicans favoring American support for Ukraine in both money and arms is up 10 points to 51% now.
Fox has completely changed it's tune and is completely trashing Putin, going so far as to admit the obvious finally, that Putin invaded Ukraine, and if he truly wanted peace, he is the one that stands in the way. "If he truly wanted peace, all he has to do is leave Uktaine that he attacked." They even had one guy trying the old Fox defense of Russia, and they all shut him down immediately.
Now, let's not get crazy here. They still somehow twisted everything to Trump was dominant here, holds all the cards and was toying with Putin. They ignored all of Trump's ass kissing.
But here's my main takeaway. Say what you will about Fox and and the terrible administration. Sure, they are still lying about how Trump handled this. But this is where they kick the asses of Dems. When the tide turns and they are on the wrong side of the vast majority of Americans (80%+ unfavorable rating of Putin and Russia, even MAGAts) they pivot to a reasonable stance.
Conversely, as an example of the Dems, take the issue of "pronouns" and trans females competing in women's sports. Clearly not a fraction as important as today's meeting. But 95% of Americans are against that nonsense. It DOES matter to voters. And Dems just dug in deeper over ridiculous meaningless issues. Yuge "L" last election cycle. Out of touch Dems, complete election night ass kicking.
