The Fake Feud Between Trump and Fox
In the world of pro wrestling, “kayfabe” is the code of secrecy that demands all players stay in “character before, during, and after shows” to maintain the illusion that a real fight is happening. Trump’s trash talk and the raspberries that Fox functionaries like Hume and Cavuto blow back at him are pure kayfabe.
Trump’s faux-fight with Fox is designed 1) to add drama and excitement to where there is none; 2) make him the primary focus of events 3) temporarily complicate the storyline so viewers keep watching.
Fox benefits from Trump’s periodic attacks (remember when he boycotted one of Fox’s 2016 presidential debates because it wouldn’t dump Megyn Kelly from the broadcast). They make the channel look like it’s standing up to the president, and Fox ends up looking more independent and credible.
It doesn’t get more kayfabe than that.

Really ...it certainly hasn't helped CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the mainstream networks look more independent and credible ..As they continue to obsess over bashing him for 3 years they continue to circle the drain

I wonder how many mainstream newspapers and television networks will go outta business when Trump wins in a landslide next year.
CNN and MSNBC rarely report the news any more. In fact, I sometimes livestream to watch Al Jazeera, SkyNews, and RT when I wanna see what's happening outside of Washington.
Hell, even ABC News (Australia) is mildly interesting.
