Fox News tells Taylor Swift to Stay out of Politics!
Conservative celebrities on the TV (Fox News)network are displeased with the idea of the music megastar (Taylor Swift) supporting President Biden in the 2024 race. Why Fox News said so? As you may have noticed, Taylor Swift is everywhere. She is seen jam-packing arenas for her Eras Tour, filling theaters with her concert film, and occasionally appearing on TV while rooting for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, from a luxurious suite at Kansas City Chiefs games. She is currently residing rent-free in the minds of Fox News hosts. Following tidings that the Biden reelection campaign sought the superstar’s endorsement (who supported President Biden in 2020), network pundits put on their culture-war balaclavas. “Avoid getting embroiled in politics!” She was persuaded by Jeanine Pirro. “We would prefer not to have you there!” Charly Arnolt, another pundit, begged readers not to believe everything Taylor Swift said. In prime time, Sean Hannity addressed the matter, saying, “Maybe she wants to think twice.” Fox’s panic attack comes after months of opulent conspiracy theories about the power couple from MAGA opinionators. These theories included that Ms. Swift and Mr. Kelce’s romance was staged, that the NFL was rigging the Super Bowl to benefit the Chiefs, and that the whole thing was a sinister scheme to boost a potential Biden endorsement. Fox News host Jesse Watters even dabbled in the rumors, suggesting that Swift’s rise to prominence was a psyops plot orchestrated by the Pentagon. Looking back, “Paul is dead” lacks creativity. People are, of course, free to voice their thoughts on everything from the potential existence of a secret Pentagon diva lab to celebrity political speech. However, if Fox News’s hosts genuinely think that asking famous people to comment on politics is reckless and hazardous, then might want to focus on… Fox News. Fox has invited Kiss bassist Gene Simmons to discuss how to handle an Ebola outbreak on several occasions throughout the years. It featured fashion star Fabio blaming liberalism for California’s high crime rate. Kid Rock was introduced to cancel culture. On “Fox & Friends” last year, actor Jim Caviezel referred to Donald J. Trump as “the new Moses.” And let’s not forget that Fox played a key role in helping a specific TV personality enter the political sphere; you may recognize her as the contender Mr. Biden is most likely to face. The network debuted “Mondays With Trump,” a new weekly feature on “Fox & Friends,” in March 2011. Each week, the host of NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” who had been a regular guest on the show for years, would criticize the policies of the Obama Administration and explain to the other hosts why he had fired celebrities like LaToya Jackson and Gary Busey on that particular episode. As a result of his birtherism campaign and his tweets characterizing President Obama’s 2012 win over Mitt Romney as “a total sham and a travesty,” Mr. Trump’s bond with Fox and its viewership only strengthened. The reason why Mr. Trump was appealing to Fox viewers was partly due to his celebrity, not because of it. They had been informed for years, not only by Fox, that Hollywood celebrities detested their values, but they had also heard leftist speeches given at the Oscars. Here at last was a legitimate star of the prime-time network who understood them and supported them. It goes beyond the fact that Fox has always welcomed celebrities who share its political views. (Its hosts also frequently compliment Ronald Reagan, who was well-versed in film sets.) It has contributed more than any other force to the celebration of conservative politics and the addition of entertainment aspects to them. […]
