Fox News Takes a Sharp Left Turn
[American Thinker] If any doubts remained that the Fox News channel is continuing to swerve from its conservative roots, they were erased on July 16, 2017 when Ezekiel Emanuel, M.D., a principal architect of Obamacare and a barely hinged spin doctor for the Democrat socialist left, appeared on the channel’s signature weekly program Fox News Sunday in his new role as a paid contributor. During the program, the ever arrogant Emanuel jumped on the Resist Trump bandwagon and suggested that President Trump is worthy of being impeached. Hired last February primarily as a health policy analyst (he is a physician and professor, after all), Emanuel is now providing opinion not only on medical subjects but on political ones, as well.

The turning point was his appearance on the high-profile, politically-charged Fox News Sunday. In addition to the Fox News cable and satellite channel, Fox News Sunday is also broadcast on over 200 Fox network-owned or -affiliate terrestrial broadcast television stations around the country.

An excerpt from the July 16th program’s transcript provided by Fox News is illustrative:

#1 Hired last February primarily as a health policy analyst (he is a physician and professor, after all), Emanuel is now providing opinion not only on medical subjects but on political ones, as well.


Obamacare is 100% socialism and 0% healthcare.

#2 It's become quite obvious, Obamacare was intended as a bridge to Single Payer. If the Hildebeest had been elected, we'd be fast-tracking to centrally controlled, state run healthcare.

#3 Emanuel, now a commentator for Fox, penned an article for the Atlantic Monthly titled “Why I Hope to Die at 75”

Both Emanuel and Fox share a suicide wish? Fox rapidly heading away from "fair and balanced" to "fairly unbalanced." Another possible slogan "Better than MSNBC and CNN but not by much."

#4 Stopped watching Fox a couple years ago when they put up lefty anchors that pretended to be moderate.
