Things Are So Bad That Fox News Couldnt Find A Republican To Come On The Air To Defend Trump
So this is why Fox was covering inconsequential stuff...
After the news of the Comey memo had broken, Fox News could not find a single Republican member of Congress who was willing to go on the conservative news network to defend Trump.
With no Republican member of Congress willing to go on air to defend Trump, Fox quickly moved to Plan B, which was to talk about anything other than the Comey memo.

When Fox News did talk about the scandal, they declared it “fake news,” speculated that Comey made up the memo, and Sean Hannity attacked the Washington Post.
In three hours of primetime coverage, those were the only mentions of a scandal that is growing to Watergate level proportions by the day.
The reason why Fox News is getting creamed by MSNBC in the demo is that they are ignoring big news stories that the other networks are covering. Last week, three MSNBC shows were #1 with age 25-54 viewers in their respective time periods: “The Rachel Maddow Show” at 9 pm, “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” at 10 pm, and “The 11th Hour with Brian Williams” at 11 pm.
It really is so bad for Republicans that they are refusing to show their faces on friendly Fox News to defend Trump.
When Republicans won’t defend Trump on Fox, it is a sign that his presidency is sinking fast, and members of the GOP majority are heading for the lifeboats.
