I don’t think /u/Telorand was suggesting that. Rather I think they’re saying that Fox news is trying to appeal to both trump supporters and non-trump supporters within their base, whatever their base counts as these days.
My pops is super conservative and he finally came around to thinking trump is a grifter and criminal. Fox went a long way (or all the way and then some) towards discrediting themselves within the journalism community, but they still have a lot of boomers that are addicted to the outrage they spew.
I don’t think they are trying to appeal to their audience that is closer to center. I think they realize they can’t support open fascism and come out the other side if it fails.
