It has reached a point that I predicted. Even Fox News cannot hold it together. Mixed in among the master-shill-liars like Hannity and O'Reilly are real journalists who - even if they are conservative - are also professionals... and Americans. Watch as: "Fox News anchor Shepard Smith on Thursday criticized President Trump for bashing reporters gathered at a lengthy Thursday press conference, calling on him to answer legitimate questions from news outlets."

You will hear this from me again and again. The republic will be saved - not from Trumpism but from the Murdochian Morlocks who have hijacked American conservatism, transforming it into a combination of revived Confederacy and Idiocracy.

The republic will be saved when a crucial 10% of the population -- those "ostrich republicans" who are basically sane, but have been in denial, lift their head out of the sand and say aloud: "My movement has been hijacked by monsters. It has gone insane."

We must not let them attribute this to Trump! Trump is a symptom, not the disease! When they eliminate the symptom (and Ryan is already concocting plans) that 10% must not be allowed to settle back into their ostrich holes. They must be told: "If you want there to be a sane American conservatism that has a place at the table, regain our respect by burning out the mad parts, root and branch.

"And Rupert Murdoch is far, far worse than all the Russians, Iranians, Saudis and Breitbarts, combined."
