Whatever It Takes

By Hubie and Bertie

We're kinda thinking that maybe the end days of Fox "News" are at hand.

At the very least, the network will be potentially forced to pay over a billion dollars in damages to Dominion Voting Systems. Even if the case never goes to trial and is settled out of court, Fox may be financially damaged beyond repair.

Which would be a great thing for American democracy.

Is it possible? After nearly 30 years of untold damage to our system of self-government, can Fox "News" be on the brink of destruction? We have to hope that yes, it is. Rupert Murdoch is in his nineties, and while he has his spawn lined up to continue the business, we sense a dusk descending upon his most destructive, Rupertesque regime. Fox's hypocrisy has been deliciously revealed, not by a bunch of radical-liberal Democrats but by a corporation seeking to demonstrate damage to its business. In short, a question less of democracy than of money.

Hey, whatever works. If Fox dies for monetary rather than democratic reasons, we can live with it. As long as it dies, period.

It's how we feel about Benedict Donald. We fully expect the Manhattan DA to indict Trump this week. Some lefties may complain that the Stormy Daniels charges pale in comparison to the other damage Trump has done to the country. We cats agree. But more charges are undoubtedly coming, and whatever it takes to put Trump in the courts and/or behind bars, we don't care. Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion, you know. We cats PURR.
