While the national polls proclaim Joe Biden as the clear frontrunner, just like they did for Hillary Clinton back in the summer of 2016, signs of growing dissatisfaction with Biden, who has spent the last five months cowering in his basement in Rehobeth, abound, especially as more Americans grow weary of the progressives insistence on economy-crushing social distancing measures, even in areas where case numbers have declined substantially. They continue to hysterically condemn President Trump for causing 160,000 deaths (the number of Americans who have succumbed to the virus so far) without saying one word about the lapses in Wuhan that opened Pandora's Box in the first place. 

As spread slows dramatically from New Jersey to Arizona to California, Americans consistently rate President Trump as "better" on the economy than Biden, though some carefully worded polls have pointed to a surge in public frustration with a federal response that has been characterized as slow and inept.

But through it all, as the mainstream press doubled-down on its progressive slant - openly referring to violent rioters as "peaceful protesters" and reporting on ultra-progressive concepts like "white supremacy" and "the patriarchy" as if these theoretical interpretations are indisputable realities - conservative outlets like Fox News have picked up steam.

And this week, even the New York Times is being forced to admit that - love it or hate it - Fox News is America's most popular news organization in television. And as the NYT's Michael Grynbaum reported, while Fox has struggled with several recent "scandals", things at the cable news channel "have never been better," as it maintained its ratings dominance in June and July. And not just for cable: for all of television.
