You'd think Steve Schmidt doesn't like FOX...

“The brazen misconduct at Fox News is incredible. The network is a grotesquerie that has managed to destabilize American society to satisfy the rapacious greed of Rupert Murdoch. His legacy will one day come down to two words; good riddance.

What is most amazing about the scandal is that it is ongoing. The three hours of prime time television that drizzle lies in an endless acid rain of deception, hosted by Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, will pick back up on Monday. That is a startling fact. There is no change coming. The unmasking is utter and complete. There will never be another moment where Fox News isn’t synonymous with insanity and lying. It is America’s Chernobyl…..”

If you weren't conservative/republican you were shit to Steve. Ask him or Rick Wilson.

My understanding is that Steve has pretty much aligned himself more with the Dems. I'm not sure on that though. I just know that he one of the biggest never-Trumpers ever.

I don't know if he's changed parties though. Having said that, I KNOW he's said he's very remorseful for bringing Sara Palin onto the scene.

... capitalism will make the wrong choice.

The capitalists may be the last, but they too will die when society is poisoned.

Sickening.

They should try a novel approach, just for once: doing the right thing just because it's the correct action.

You found the perfect words to describe one of the biggest anti-life and anti-all that is good that grows in capitalism without guard rails. Some of the structural aspects of capitalism are just downright designed to promote all that is bad.
