The Trumper's world is rapidly shrinking ... NO NFL, NO Foxx (at least in the afternoon), NO NASCAR since Junior supported the NFL players rights, NO Keurig,--- OH, the horrors !

Re: Cracks in the Wall?
I think Shep has integrity, did his research and reporting, and came to a thoughtful and rational conclusion to the whole Uranium One conspiracy.
On the opinion side, Fox has to be worried about the loss of advertisers and that is influencing the shift in Tucker's and Hannity's position on Moore.
And remember, the right wing pundit class allegiance isn't to Roy Moore. It's to Donald Trump. Trump has been quiet on Moore so why would the FNC opinion set tie their fortunes to a tainted candidate.
Besides, Moore is going to win that election regardless of the allegations. We have gotten to the point in our politics that having the right letter behind your name is vastly more important that your moral standing, criminal record, business dealings, or anything else you can imagine.
So the Fox News heads can walk away from Moore, and the people of Alabama will still walk to polling station on Election Day and vote for him.
Hannity gets what he wants but doesn't have to defend himself against angry advertisers.
