Can the corporate media provoke a fight between the two most popular GOP politicians
Really? You(not you growls, but the writer) have to be a complete and utter moron to ask that question. It was NOT the media who provoked a fight, if one exists. It was Trump basically threatening Desantis(in the media, no less) if he runs for potus. If there is a fight between Trump and Desantis, it is bc Trump walked up and slapped him in the face in public.
Also, fox is by far the largest most influential network that had hosts that supported and defended trump- even up to this day. If many of them now turn their support to Desantis, that has to tell you something. There has been STRONG support for trump from many of that networks most popular hosts for years. How/why would they become part of some conspiratorial uniparty against him now. I am not saying much of the "establishment" in the pub party has not been against him from the beginning. I am saying it makes no sense that those who supported Trump on fox would somehow just switch their support to Desantis bc they just decided to be come part of the "uniparty".
