Notice how AXIOS and CNN are positioning themselves in a effort to snag these Wing Nut Clowns. Not surprised. Pretty obvious when Media matters says,both are wanting to establish a Right Leaning Operation to compete with Murdoch. Should add CBS operation to the pile of spittle.

Gets to blame Fox for his election loss and gains a new outlet for his lies without any unfriendly commentators to fact check him. Maybe he can call it, "Trump' Alternative Facts".

Trump will never pay them enough, and Fox will fight for its market share. They will not let hannity and dobbs book trump if he is in open warfare with Fox.

But OANN and Newsmax as well. He's going to be pulling their customers as well.

And who is going to finance it? That's going to be a tall order. Fox has the advantage as they already have the infrastructure and presence.

Oh and lets bring up another point, good portion of the base is in rural areas and thus still need a satellite dish/cable. They don't have internet strong enough out there yet....its getting there, but still not available enough. Some simply will have no choice but to watch fox.

And won’t he be even further in debt once his creditors are allowed to go after him? Not to mention in prison?
