Everyone thinks its terrible because the network is called Fox, but really, you’d expect one network to opt out. What % of people don’t care/will tune out of it? A massive one, I’d assume, and so it’s no surprise one of the networks want a piece of that. It’s not racist or political, it’s a business opportunity. They can sell their advertising for a few mill more because of it. Other networks probably secretly would love to be doing the same, but would be weighing it against a PR hit. No such concerns for Fox because their brand is tied to the News network.
And they hammer the teleprompter with Obama as it’s their way of trying to knock his stellar communication skills down a few notches. That every President since their invention has used one most of the time, and that Obama is almost better off prompter than on, doesn’t matter.
