    Why? Just because Fox News doesn’t broadcast anything vaguely affiliated with real world politics doesn’t mean others can’t talk about it.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Right-wing activists have indulged in baseless speculation that Ms. Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — a kind of ur-American couple of football star and wholesome pop icon — is a contrivance engineered by Democrats, or perhaps the National Football League, to trick unsuspecting Americans into boosting Super Bowl ratings or voting for Mr. Biden in November.

    Swift flies on a private plane, “yet she constantly talks about climate change.” It was the sort of eco-scolding that rarely turns up on a cable network whose guests often voice skepticism about global warming.

    Swift said that Mr. Soros’s son, Alex, helped fund the sale of her song catalog to the producer Scooter Braun.

    Another “Hannity” guest, the Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt, told viewers not to dismiss the bizarre conspiracies about Ms.

    “Republicans haven’t won the Popular Vote in 20 years so now we’re trying the novel strategy of attacking one of the most beloved pop stars on the planet & … the NFL,” Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration official and a co-host of “The View,” wrote on X.

    On Brian Kilmeade’s Saturday show, he asked the Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer about the Swift phenomenon.

    This article discusses reactions from some Fox News commentators to the possibility of Taylor Swift endorsing President Biden in the 2024 election. Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, and others on Fox News urged Swift not to get involved in politics. Some speculated that Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce was engineered by Democrats. Hannity drew a connection between Swift and George Soros, noting Soros’ son helped fund the sale of Swift’s song catalog. However, not all at Fox News were negative - sports analyst Jay Glazer praised Swift as a “genius” and saw nothing problematic about her or the NFL. In summary, several Fox News personalities strongly discouraged Swift from supporting Biden, while at least one commentator admired her musical talents.

    In fact, we should just get rid of news outlets (Fox, NBC) entirely and only allow news agencies (AP News, Reuters) to report on news and politics.

      in some places fox news isnt allowed to use the word “news” in the name, because they are, by their own definition “mostly editorial/entertainment”

      they avoid the markets where they dont get to pretend to be news

    What’s funny is that she hasn’t endorsed anyone. But they keep raising such a stink on the mere thought that she might endorse Biden and have demanded that she doesn’t voice her Biden endorsement far and wide to the point, now, it has become assumed by most that she does endorse him. If anyone does, in fact, give a damn about her endorsement, the wackos yelling on the right have made her de facto position a pro-Biden position. Exactly what they’re complaining about. Now she doesn’t even need to endorse him in order to basically endorse him. Dolts.

      She’s been speaking out against the Supreme Court killing Roe, and she’s shown that she can drive registration with young woman. And young women are swing left of center.

      She doesn’t have to endorse anyone to terrify the right.

        Your ideology is total shit when the mere suggestion that citizens should vote as they please is a threat to your existence. The GOP’s days are numbered.

          It’s more than that if you watch her documentary. She is begging her handlers to speak out while they are explaining they are afraid for her safety.

          We have a situation where even wealthy people are afraid to speak their mind for fear of death. This is beyond unacceptable.
