I consider myself a big fan of the "Sunday Morning Talk Thread". I'm mostly a lurker, but drop my .02 on occasion. It's my Sunday morning thing to do.

I consider every contributor here a valuable asset to the cause and thank each of you for your input. The four I've directed this to are those I consider my favorites. AB for his weekly dedication putting it out; Bray for his weekly essay, and Fish for her weekly recap. Rodguy is a prolific poster, and brings attention to stuff I'd never find on my own. Thanks to all.

On another thread on this site, I'm also known as "limerick guy". Although I've written limericks for many years, I just started posting them on FR on current topics. Following is one I posted a couple of months ago on the big left turn Fox News has made. I thought it was appropriate for this thread too, and you may or may not agree with me, but here it is anyway

******************************************************************************
Fox is not the same place
They’ve completely abandoned their base
They used to stand out and always raised doubt
On main media’s left leaning case

Fair and balanced was once their refrain
But to watch now is often real pain
Trump’s hated so much, the dial I touch
Cause some shows have gone down the drain

Shepard Smith is worst of them all
Nonstop bashing of Trump in that drawl
It brings him delight, and he does it with spite
It’s so bad it makes him look small

Juan has always been left of the pack
But these days he’s almost a hack
He must take the view that is hardcore blue
I can’t believe he’s that far off track

The panels have lost their appeal
At one time they were a big deal
Their bias is deep, they all act like sheep
Because of their anti Trump zeal

Some will say that Brett is a hack
Up till now I still have his back
His show is real news, it isn’t his views
It’s better than MSM yack

I haven’t given up yet
I still like to watch Sean and Brett
Martha’s a jewel, and Tucker’s so cool
Judge Jeanine is always a good bet

I left out some favorites this time
Cause it’s hard to make them all rhyme
But I’m still hanging in, although patience is thin
Please Fox, stop the slide into slime.

I think they’re headed for a leftward turn and once again I think they’ll go as far left as they can without alienating their true base which is us
