Fox News Declares Candidacy

Fox News has finally declared it is running for the Republican nomination for president.

In a New York Magazine article, Fox News Settles in for a Long Campaign With Donald Trump, a Candidate Who Proves the Network Has Lost Its Power:

With his decisive win in New Hampshire, Donald Trump dashed the GOP Establishment’s hope that skipping last month’s Fox News debate would sink his campaign. By claiming more than a third of the New Hampshire vote, Trump not only exceeded expectations and more than doubled the vote tally of any of his rivals — but also demonstrated that disregarding Fox News doesn’t spell political ruin for a Republican. The grip that Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes, and Co. have held on the GOP for nearly a generation got a little looser Tuesday night.
So naturally the next step is for Fox News to run for president.

While it is unclear how the news network would run the country. My guess is it would be run by whomever happens to be on the air at any given moment. I would expect their guest bookings to become bloated for all their shows. Of course, we would all watch to see what the new President Fox News would do. The ratings would be sky high!

Sorry Donald Trump, you're fired!
