Does rabid FNC support of McCarthy(R) prove they are pro-Swamp, RINO Praetorian Guard?

What say you?

As we all still await the DEMOCRATIC process in Congress and spot-light on Kevin McCarthy who has failed to secure the needed votes to become GOP Speaker, what of the recent psychotic episodes and overt hostility aimed at the Magnificent 20 and Lauren Boebert from the FOX "News" Channel?

FNC pundits -- led by Sean Hannity -- have all lashed out with NO filter in their insane dis-respectful attacks. (Not even the most heinous Dems are treated like THIS.)

Add to the list: Marc Levine, Jeanine Pirro, and others (like Brian Kilmeade who called the Magnificent 20's opposition to McCarthy as Speaker, "insurrectionists")

Everyone knows what the main issue is for opposition to Kevin McCarthy: HE IS SWAMP. COMPROMISED. UNI-PARTY. SELL-OUT.

REAL CONSERVATIVE pundits HAVE NOTICED this FOX NEWS Channel insanity. They understand the problem, ALSO rejecting K. McCarthy as "Speaker".

Here are some quotes from actual conservatives:

-- Newsmax’s Benny Johnson: Hannity’s “schtick” is to be “the Praetorian Guard of the establishment.”

-- Former Trump aide Steve Bannon’s War Room podcastJohn Fredericks: Fox News is “a 24/7 shill for Kevin McCarthy. That’s all they are. They’re not even reporting the news.” MOREOVER, Fox News is full of “fakers,” “lying to you forever”... and the network is “a money-making machine” AND “was a shill for McCarthy.”

-- Steve Bannon: Boebert “bench-pressed [McCarthy attack dog] Hannity” during her interview and that “it was embarrassing” and Fox News is “out to crush” and “destroy” members of Congress who do not support McCarthy for speakership.

The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft: Fox is “controlled opposition,” which he said “came completely unglued” following Tuesday’s votes, as McCarthy had been “hand-picked by failed former Speaker and FOX News board member Paul Ryan before he left office.

-- Right-wing host Todd Starns described Fox as “the propaganda wing of the McCarthy team.”

-- Former Newsmax host Emerald Robinson called Fox & Friends hosts “uniparty swamp rats” over their support for McCarthy.

Media Matters noticed the brawl against the Hannity-led FNC McCarthians as well. Here they tally and document opposition to FNC bullies:

Does former President Trump’s support of McCarthy (R) for Speaker and his calling the 20 begging them to comply prove he is pro-Swamp?

I think FNC markets itself towards the biggest market for ratings.

I don’t necessarily think KM is the anti-Christ, YET; However, his voting history is aligned more with liberals and leftist policies than conservatives. I am simply giving him the benefit of the doubt because maybe he was trying to please his California constituents. It will be interesting with him having an infinitely more conservative base if he factors that in the future. He has the whole world in his hands now. Let’s see if he self serves or serves the people? I think at the end of all the wheelin and dealin that his net worth explodes and we are left with the bill.

Look at the bright side. Liberal Hank, SFP, and all the other fake conservatives are doing victory laps and smoking cigars right now.

Legit question.

Frankly at this point I don't know WHAT Trump is OR isn't. NOR his angle or "strategy" in supporting a known Swamp Creature (Kevin McCarthy) who repeatedly stabbed him (and America AND Conservatives) in the back.

True. But is that all?

They've cornered the "conservative"-Republican Media market for sure. But many could say that they've exploited the Supply and Demand situation (lack of competition.)

What about FNC's political ideology? IS there evidence that they have been the de facto Pretorian Guard of the GOP's RINO faction?

On the issues that matter most, KM could well be tossed into the same Globalist Policy supporter as Nanzi Pelosi.

Yup. THIS is the bottom line and our fate should McCarthy wield the GOPe-Uni-Party Big Stick.

I mean implicit in my comment was a declaration that the largest populations of our country are "RINO" Republicans

So, to directly answer the above question: Yes, obviously.

In a word, Yes.

And FNC has just called AZ for Joe Biden in the 2024 Presidential election.
