From the Meidas Touch
I have several reactions to this:
On the Fox News poll: CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite delivered his own editorial arguing that there was not a military solution to ending the Vietnam War... in 1968. President Lyndon Johnson was like in the mid 30s in popularity at that point, largely because of the Vietnam War, as well as rising crime rates, American culture changing too fast for the so-called middle Americans, especially older Americans, etc. And President Johnson's reported response to the Cronkite editorial was: "When you've lost Walter Cronkite, you've lost Middle America."
I'm not saying Fox News speaks for "Middle America". But when you are Donald Trump, the DeFacto leader of the MAGA movement and you can't even crack 50% in a Fox News poll, you are not even polling 40% on the economy, under 50% even on immigration... you know you are unpopular. That there's something rotten in The White House and it's not just Donald J. Trump (reported B.O. issues) but what they're doing now is not even working politically for them and is hurting their party in Congress as well.
The Fox News poll also suggest that the Left is simply wrong about FNC, at least to this extent: President Trump has an 86% approval rating with the Republican Party, but his overall approval is 44%, according to Fox News. Which tells us the entire Fox News audience is not just small town, blue-collar, rednecks, etc. That Democrats watch FNC, Independents, as well as mainstream Republicans, not just the populist far-right in the country.
As far as Jesse Watters: I'm about 10 years older than Ben Meiselas and as a Gen-Xer, I remember all those Star Trek reruns from the 1980s and the films as well from that decade. Jesse Watters who is also a Gen-Xer, would get my reference, if he saw this... I think he looks like Commander Spock (played by Leonard Nimoy) from the Starship Enterprise, with the smooth black hair, thick sideburns. I would bet anything that Watters is not nearly as intelligent and even as funny as Dr. Spock. But that's who Watters reminds me of.
If you are an Alfred Hitchcock fan, like myself, you've seen North By Northwest. Watters also looks like Leonard (played by Martin Landau) from that film.
