So whats a right-wing propaganda outlet like Fox News to do when the monster they helped to create is floundering and risks destroying all their hard work? Well, on Super Bowl Sunday they took to the streets themselves (see video below). Specifically, the street in front of Trump Tower. Their crack news team covered a pro-Trump demonstration in New York City complete with Fox News Alert banners. Correspondent Brian Llenas was on the scene to report that:
This is the heart of New York City. Were used to seeing protests anti-Trump protests here in in New York City which voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton. But this is a pro-Trump rally. About 50 to 100 people have been here since noon. And they say theyve really just had it with the disrespect over President Trump. They believe that people should be respecting him, giving him a chance. [ ] This isnt a big protest by any means. But it is noteworthy that it is a pro-Trump protest in the heart of New York City.
Noteworthy? Not really. Whats noteworthy is that only 50 people showed up in Trumps hometown of more than eight million. Maybe Fox News should hold off on the Alerts until they get at least 50,000. Although that would still be only one-tenth of what the anti-Trump protests drew. Llenas said the Trumpsters see the anti-Trump protests ridiculous. That was just before he observed that some of them were holding pacifiers. How appropriate. They think Trumps opponents should stop being babies and support their president. But isnt that the childish thing to do? Just shut your mouth and unquestioningly obey your parents/leaders.

(5,477 posts)He got somewhere around 10% of the vote in NYC, too. New Yorkers have a LONG memory, and there are still those that will never forgive him for having the Art Deco friezes on the Bonwit-Teller building destroyed in an overnight attack rather than delay the start of demolition for his tRump Tower building by a week or two (the Metropolitan Museum of Art had promised to remove and conserve them).
