Zurawik: Fox Is ‘Hitching Their Wagon Totally’ to ‘Mercurial’ and ‘Erratic’ Trump

‘If you voted for Trump and you want to see positive coverage coverage, you turn to them’

RUSH EXCERPT:
ZURAWIK: "The worst problem for them are the ratings. We have had how many years of number one fox dominates now we have got a situation where fox is third in the demographics and they have had this massive turnover in their prime time lineups. I think this ratings business is a real problem. Here’s the danger, the only thing Fox has going for it right now is they think to be the place, if you voted for Trump and you want to see positive coverage coverage, you turn to them. If this president goes down in flames, what’s left at fox right now? I really think it is a dangerous time. For years I would call them up with stories and I would say this is really bad journalistically, and they would go, the ratings are great, everybody loves us. Now they can’t explain their journalism away because they have great ratings, they don’t have them anymore. That’s the thing that has to be frightening the Murdoch brothers right now."
