So is CPAC facing a Schlapp in the face from Fux and friends?

Days ahead of this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, it remains to be seen if and how Fox News will cover the annual right-wing confab amid CPAC boss Matt Schlapp’s alleged groping scandal.

Over the past few years, the conservative cable giant has not only aired the entire multi-day conference on its digital streaming platform Fox Nation, but the network has also been a “Featuring Sponsor” of the event. In 2021, for example, Fox Nation paid $250,000 to help underwrite the overtly partisan political gathering. The year before that, the Fox streamer paid $28,000 as a sponsor.

As of publication, Schlapp and his annual convention have all but disappeared from the Fox News universe. None of Fox News Media’s outlets are listed among CPAC 2023’s list of partnering sponsors, which includes the network’s conservative arch-rival Newsmax as well as far-right competitors like Real America’s Voice. Additionally, Fox staffers told The Daily Beast they have yet to receive any guidance on how they will cover CPAC.

1. First, CPAC is one of the worst conferences of all times......

psycho-ville incorporated. It's audience emulate all things wrong in modern society and the hate factor is off the charts. For God's fearing Christians they encompass all of the 7 deadly sins and more, and is compared to the 4 horsemen.

1st Amendment they shout and yet they have put the USA in danger of losing "freedom".

It needs to fade away along with RW hate, propaganda, constant lies and make up stories. I truly hope fake news die a painful death.

There should be a class action suit against them for elections, i.e. total harassment of election officials, election workers and volunteers, etc.

2. I suspect it is heading for irrelevance - and good

They will all turn on one another - I have popcorn waiting

3. Given the publicity that occurred in past sexual "indescretions," it's been puzzling at the silence

surrounding this story. First appeared about two weeks ago, and then... crickets. Am well aware of the "innocent until proven otherwise" propriety, but was recalling all the fuss about Anthony Weiner and his appropriate resignation. Seems a bit like a double standard when an accusation involves a high-profile Repug.

4. The good part is...

We'll be able to see, by attendance, just who the perverts are and who isn't into that sort of thing but had to go along earlier, or so they thought.
